| - Hot pot! If you get hot pot here, the buffet is included. The buffet itself is your standard greasy Americanized type food, with a plethora of battered and fried chicken covered in a sweet sauce (Various incarnations here include volcano chicken and orange chicken). They do have sushi here but it is very limited and contains all cooked forms of sushi (e.g., shrimp nigiri) but no raw, which is probably better that way if they do not get a lot of people frequenting the sushi bar. Desserts include various fruit, jello, some strudel-looking cake pieces, cookies, cream puffs, and ice cream.
Now on the the hot pot! The broth here is so good. There are a lot of veggies and Chinese herbs that flavor the broth, making it a whole lot more flavorful than the same type of broth at Mekong Palace. The price is for all you can eat, and there is a wide selection of meats and vegetables to choose from. Selections include thinly sliced beef, squid, chicken organ meats (liver, hearts), blue crab, tofu, lotus root, crawfish, taro, bok choy, various noodles, and daikon.
The standard broth they will bring out is a 2 sectioned pot that is filled with half of the original style chicken stock with pork, and a spicy broth (as spicy to your liking) on the other side. There is a dipping station too which includes all the types of condiments that my mother uses when she makes hot pot (egg, satay, soy sauce, green onion, ginger, garlic, sesame sauce).
The price? $19.99 for all you can eat, $.99 for soft drinks and iced tea. Service was very attentive. I'll definitely come here again for hot pot, but probably not so much for just the buffet!
