First time at this local restaurant drawn by a newspaper coupon. It was 12:30 pm lunch on a Thursday returning from estate sale hunting in the area. My first concern was the few cars in the lot in this busy area. No matter decided to give it a try.
We were seated quickly by a pleasant young Chinese guy near the first row of the buffets. Interior is old but clean and functional. Kitchen staff were mostly busy young Hispanic males.
Being a sushi guy went right to the cold bar. Here sushi is California rolls. Also peeled shrimp squid and jellyfish. Wasabi and ginger cocktail sauce was all quite cold and pretty good.
My lady went for hot food. The hot dishes looked very cool. Lo mein and other noodles were completely flavorless and all the hot food although visually appealing had virtually none of any detectable Asian spices.
The hot and sour soup was inedible and is one of my favorites in this cuisine. Many hot foods were too sweet and salty.
Fried items like crab puffs egg rolls died a painful death long ago and were then resurrected .
I ate some greenbeans about half of which should have been served.
And I really wanted a good Kung pao and soup today. Save your money go somewhere else. Ming and gee is a San Francisco china town populare compared to this place. The tab 20 bucks. Worth ??
And one of the employees apologized for the food being "awful"
