| - I came here with family on a Saturday night. I don't think it was worth a 2 hour wait. If you don't want to wait, it costs $15 per person. This is to only pay and not to be seated which you might have to wait another 10 to 15 minutes. While I was inside, I can tell the reason why the long wait: they don't clean the tables fast enough. Even though the restaurant is large, they are not able to keep up with the people coming in. Anyway, this is what I had:
Main Course and Sides:
- Prime Rib w/ Au Jus: The best out of everything like everyone has said. It was juicy and tender. There was a little bit of fat on it still which was awesome. I actually got a second serving but the piece that I was given the second time wasn't that good (because I got the end part of the meat so it was cooked all the way and not medium or medium rare). So this can be inconsistent depending on how many people get it.
- Mac and Cheese: It's more cheesy than creamy. Baked on the top so slightly crispy. Not my favorite though.
- Mashed Potatoes: Very creamy. One of my favorites. Really good with the gravy. I got 2 servings of this.
- Chicken Feet: It's alright. Not as tender as I thought it would be.
- Porridge: Consistency is correct but not a lot of stuff in it (like pork, etc.) but worth a try.
- Chinese Donut: Another favorite. It was crispy and not dense at all. Yummy.
- King Crab: Tender but a long line to get it. (There's another station that blanches it in hot water.)
- Corn on the cob: Not a lot of flavor. Seemed really plain to me.
- Baby Carrots: I thought I needed some vegetables so I got 2 pieces. They were actually pretty good. Very tender.
- Ragu Bolognese: This is a baked dish with cheese on top. Pretty good and very flavorful.
- Tomato Soup: Pretty good but I thought it was too vinegary. Consistency is good and not watery.
- Criss Cut fries: Just go to Carl's Jr for this.
- Chef's Special (vegetable dish): I think it comes with shallots, squash and onions. I thought this wasn't good at all.
- Chile Verde: Not all pieces of the pork were tender so it was inconsistent. Sauce was too watery.
Drinks:
- Pina Juice: This was very light and not too sweet so I thought it was good.
- Pineapple Juice: This was also good but a little more sweet than the Pina Juice.
Desserts:
- Chocolate Praline Slice: This is a light cake and not a rich dessert. I liked this one.
- Chocolate Creme Brulee: Chocolate lovers will like this. This can be rich if you eat the whole thing.
- Chocolate Cupcake: I got one that was really moist, soft and warm. When I got it the second time, it was stale. So this is a hit or miss.
- Chocolate Cake pop: This isn't that heavy for a cake pop but pretty good.
- Tiramisu: Not too sweet and more of a creamy dessert. Worth getting.
- Oreo Dome: The dome part was light and the Oreo under it was warm. Pretty good if you like Oreo's.
- Red Velvet Whoppi Pie: My least favorite because the cake part was dense and heavy. Flavor was there but not that good.
- Macaroons: They don't tell you the flavors of it but I think I had a Coffee flavor and not sure of the other one. The coffee one was better and the macaroons were light but I don't think it's the best.
Service was good. The waitress came by often to refill drinks and pick up plates. However, after people leave, they take a while to clean the tables.
Overall, large restaurant and decent food all around.
