| - My girlfriend and I went here just before 10pm on a Tuesday. We got the AYCE for $22.99 -- tried the pork, chicken, beef, salmon, beef ribs, squid, sausage (fish fillet and ox liver are also included, but we didn't sample those). Meat was delicious and seasoned well. I think the only thing that was too salty for us was the pork. I loved the salmon and chicken. My girlfriend loved the beef ribs. It definitely isn't like, fancy restaurant quality of meat, but it's what I expect from AYCE: sometimes you have to cut your meat with your fork/tongs so it's not all one big piece, but it tastes good and price is reasonable (albeit ever increasing..) as long as you bring your appetite.
We also got the AYCE veggies add-on for $3. The veggie AYCE does not have a section on the order sheet, or its own order sheet. So you aren't able to order "__ mushroom" or " __ peppers", the way you do with other items on the sheet. All the veggies come on one plate (as opposed to each veg having its own little plate like the tofu and sprout sides, for example). This means they were all touching each other and there were pre-determined amounts of each one. Our single veggie plate had two big leaves of lettuce, two pineapple rings and so on. So if you'd rather not have certain ones, if you want something like mostly onions, or someone in your group is allergic, I'd recommend asking your server.
Service was perfectly fine. I think the fact that it wasn't very busy affected it a lot, because I had no problems with the service. They were great about refilling our waters frequently (though I will say the water glasses they give you are tiny!) and flagging someone down was really easy. We didn't wait long after ordering to receive our food. We asked to get our grill changed once and they did it quickly. There is a mandatory 13% service charge with your bill, our server circled it and pointed it out when they gave it to us.
A couple of jerks walked in at ~11:20 pm and asked for a table. It takes zero brain cells to realize that after you finish eating, people who work there need to clean up after you and most--if not all!--establishments will start cleaning just before closing for efficiency. They were refused, because this location closes at midnight on Tuesday and it very obviously would take more than half an hour for even a group of two to receive service, cook their own food, finish eating, etc. They complained about how "the sign says midnight" and how they would leave a bad review because they were refused a table for a completely valid reason. The point is: I heard you say that, assholes, and you looked like grown men in your 30s, so please stop being embarrassing when I'm trying to enjoy a meal.
