| - 4 stars for what it is a Pan Asian Buffet - nothing more, nothing less.
Unfortunately, I have had my share of bad chinese buffets. Even more unfortunate is that I typically overeat at them. That is the risk of a buffet.
Here at Jasmine, the reward is worth the risk.
This place has several things going for it:
1. it is laid out nicely and has a warmer, less institutional feel to it. I didn't feel dirty after having been there.
2. There is a wide selection of items from many asian cuisines. Kim Chi, sushi, dim sum, stir fry, twainese, thai, currie etc. they are all represented.
3. I thought the sushi was a nice mix of veggie only, fish, california rolls, even some hot rolls and tempura.
4. Wide selection of dessert options (though I typically pass on those)
5. many nice cold dishes/ salads.
6. for quality and selection I found the price to be reasaonable. Is it priced to compete with the $6.99 special down the street, no, but there are reasons to pay more.
I have been five times now and will make it a regular stop for my asian cuisine loving family.
After five visits I have a new comment, curtesy of my brother's visit there with me recently. There is no real taste challenge here. Nothing that excites the taste buds. everything is buffet safe. Maybe this is a call to spice things up a bit. Still four stars for what it is.
