| - We found ourselves in the area on Father's Day and hadn't intended to anywhere for dinner. It's usually cheaper, but they jacked the prices to $17.99 for their special of "buttered lobster"... mostly shell and overcooked meat, that's what it was. Lol ripoff.
This is probably the worst Asian buffet in Pittsburgh, though they don't really explicitly advertise as an Asian buffet, I suppose. There is indeed 1/3 American stuff, lots of fried stuff, pizza, wings, chicken skewers, chicken nuggets, etc. And sushi, a hibachi grill, and the rest are Asian buffet stuff.
The overall selection is pretty limited, even for dinner. And it's not exactly quality over quantity vs the other buffets, either.
I was able to try a bite of pretty much everything, and 90% was off in some way. Most of the dishes were very bland. If not, then weird texture. The fried stuff tastes kind of frozen.
And how do you screw up kimchi? It looked over-fermented, which I usually love, yet has zero flavor. And the soapy-tasting beets - that's how you tell a salad bar is mediocre. The sushi is pretty awful, too - stringy fish with awful texture. The sashimi doesn't seem to be freshly sliced - and why are they those tiny thin pieces instead of the big square chunks? Meh. The rolls were okay, but completely unmemorable.
The upside is that the restaurant is clean and brightly lit, and while nothing tasted GOOD, it was pretty fresh. Lunch seems really cheap - it's probably worth a cheap lunch, but not a $20+ dinner.
