| - Bahk-uh-null or BACK-ANAL? If it wasn't for my friends saying the former, I'm sure I'd pronounce it as BACK-ANAL Buffet.
We got there around 1pm with a part of 5. The wait was a little more than an hour, not as long as I thought. During busy times they'll have a kiosk where you input the number of your party (which includes an estimate time wait). They ask for your name and number, and they will text you when your table is ready. Also, you will be given a ticket regarding the information you just inputted. The texting idea is great because my friends and me were able to roam around for a bit as oppose to waiting in line.
At 2pm we got our text and headed over. You check in with the hostess and pay immediately. Everyone can pay together or separately. At 2pm it was still the Brunch time and our total ended up being around $48. The cashiers will give you this little rubber things to prevent you from getting burned when picking your food, but it isn't necessary unless you are sensitive to heat. They had us wait in another line before seating us where someone asked to take a photo of us. I later found out, they will try to sell you the picture. Like really, it's not a theme park so no thanks.
Eventually another hostess led us to our table. Because it was our first time, she had the opportunity to tell us where everything was. As you enter, everything is on the left in the following order: Seafood, American, Mexican, Italian, and Asian food. The dessert is in the middle-right of the area. This place was surprisingly not as big as I thought. When we sat down we immediately ordered mimosas. Unforutnately, the mimosas were lacking. As others have mentioned, it did seem like those concentrated orange juice you find in the freezer aisle of grocery stores. If you let your mimosa sit, you can the concentrated orange juice and champagne separate. Geez, for $48 you'd think they would use fresh orange juice.
Finally, it was time to dig in. I decided to work my way from right to left. To keep thing short here were some of the highlights for me of each area:
Asian Food - Chinese food was good (but please, I can get that for cheaper and just as good in Chinatown). Sushi and the other noodle dishes were on point.
Italian Food - You can tell the ingredients like pepperoni were bigger and tasted more high end. Here you also got your steamed crab legs. If you give them an empty plate of it, they will fill the whole plate with crab legs so brace yourself. The steam crab legs are worth getting here as oppose to the frozen crab legs in the Seafood section.
Mexican Food - The tacos were freaking amazing, and they make it for you right there. On the adjacent part of the mexican section, they have fresh Horchata, Guava Juice, Mango Juice, and Tamarind Juice. All come in this cute milk jug shape container. Try all of them! They were definitely made fresh and sweet.
American Food - Meat, meat, and more meat. I gave them an empty plate and asked for some Brisket and Prime Rib. They literally filled my whole plate with it. I felt like I needed to balance all that meat so I got a small corn on the cob. Both the Brisket and Prime Rib were flavorful, meaty, and juicy. It did not taste as good cold, but there was so much I couldn't finish it while it was still hot.
Seafood - Muscles, oysters, clams, crab legs, and shrimps galore! All were great, but they kept running out of hot sauce. People kept taking them otheir tables and not returning them back. Grrrr. The hot butter is on the corner in the beginning of the line, so don't forget!
Dessert - I think the dessert area purposely serve small portions because you will be full by the time you get there. There is someone making fresh crepes for you. Grab one, pour some strawberries, drizzle some nutella, and add a bit of powder sugar and you got yourself a tasty treat. Creme brulee was nice and sweet, while they had an assortment of chocolate covered strawberries. My favorite one was the white chocolate covered strawberries with strawberry coated rice treats. Lastly, they had ice cream where you can also make cute little ice cream sandwiches with them. The person scooping your ice cream will ask if you want 1 or 2 scoops. My friend and I concluded, no matter what combination you say (for example Mango sherbert and Chocolate), she is still bound to say "oh that's a good/popular combination." Haha.
Overall, I along with my stomach were satisfied. I would suggest going there around 1pm to get seated around 2pm. At 3pm, they beging circulating and changing their menu for dinner. For example, I had the crab eggs benedict during the Brunch hour. But as soon as 3pm hit, they were no longer serving those items. If you want to experience everything that would be the best time to go.
Just remember to pronounce this place correctly.
