| - Wow, I am surprised I've never written a review for this place. I have been coming here ever since they opened, and I think that's like at least 8 years or more ago. Over the years, this place has changed management recently, prices have gone up and the food variety has diminished, quality has also shrunk a bit.
But, overall, you really can't beat the Tin Tin experience, meaning for what you paid for, you get a good BANG for your buck. I am not sure if it's worth coming here for dinner or eating here over the weekends, because the price would be closer to around $20. Seriously, for a price like that, I don't care if you treat me to raw oysters, crab legs and such, it's still a bit hard to justify, for a buffet at least. It's not the grandest of experience and not Las Vegas buffet with a endless array of selections.
However, with that said, a typical week day lunch price tag is pretty great, around $10, you get some tasty bites. I love that this place has a noodle station, where they make fresh soup noodle in front of you, yum. The stir fries here are pretty tasty as well, dim sum, great selection of soup, seafood, and pastries. They even have tapioca dessert, heck yah! They also have a fresh skillet place where they fry turnlip cakes, and dumplings in front of you. Of course, any good Asian buffet will have sushi, which this place has.
Overall, why not? But just a bit sad that the quality keeps going down, but I don't anticipate this place to be closing down any time soon, because it's been around for long enough to stay alive, which is saying A LOT because there are a BUNCH of Asian restaurants out there. Honestly, I think I'd be mildly sad if this place ever closes down.
If you are craving for an authentic Asian buffet experience, this is it! The taste here is very on par with Chinatown dishes.
