| - If I could rate this sh*t one star, I would.
My brother, who normally makes the BEST food recommendations, said that we HAD to visit this restaurant because it was "seriously the best Chinese food you could ever have."
I should've known that this was a lie when he told me the name was Tin Tin. I ain't EVER in my Black a** life been to a Tin Tin that tasted worth a damn damn.
The second sign that this was gonna be a problem was when he said it was a buffet.
And I know what you're thinking. "Girl, that should've been the FIRST warning. A Chinese buffet? You played yourself!" But understand this: my brother is literally a foodie. When he says some food is delicious, you take his word for it. Until TODAY, he's never failed me but ON TODAY? I'm pissed.
Nothing was labeled, so unless you cooked it yourself or could easily identify it by sight, you had no clue what you were eating.
They serve raw oysters on a bar. Like the (obvious) dummy that I am, I tried one. It was extremely DRY. When I told the waiter this, he said "there's no way it could've been dry. We crack these open fresh every day." I mean, okay, sir. The sh*t was still dry.
My sister got a piece of their sushi (tuna). It was so damn dry that when you tap the edges, it seriously kicked off the drum line to start some under the sea musical.
The general tso's chicken tastes like a salt lamp (don't ask me how I know what a salt lamp tastes like).
They had chicken and broccoli with no chicken.
The fried rice was dry.
The crawfish had zero signs of seasoning.
The shrimp (that they serve cold with cocktail sauce) tasted like muf*ckas felt when Prince died.
We saw them carrying a frozen bag of potstickers.
Like, y'all are Asian and you're taking the frozen route?
My God.
I could go on and on but ultimately, all of this is my fault. I haven't been to a Chinese buffet since college (35 Chinese in Chapel Hill, NC), so I dunno what made my 36 year old ass think that anythings changed.
Yelp needs to give an option for zero stars because one is just way too much!
PS: as I was walking out the door, I saw that their sanitation grade was a 90.
Jesus Christ I'm gonna die.
