| - Unfortunately this is not my first time here. On previous times I've been here the experience has been more than sub-par... but today I couldn't figure out what to eat so I landed here. Figured there's a banner outside that said under new management so I'd give 'em yet another try.
On first glance the joint looks glammed up a bit more than on previous trips here. You know a lil extra decor here, a lil decor there... I end up making my way to an available table, got my drink order in then made my way to the buffet line. At that exact point I realize my mistake of giving this place another shot.
I opted for the broccoli beef, bbq pork, general Tsao chicken and some vegetable fried rice. All except the rice looked fairly unpleasing (like they been left in the tray too long and yet those were their best options). Got back to my table and dug into the pork and found it was so overdone, it was dry and hard. The beef was so rubbery, the broccoli way overcooked and dark. And the rice although good looking was so hard and undercooked that I almost broke teeth and lost a few fillings. Left that after a few bites, then noticed I'd get some shrimp they had just taken out and figured I'd take advantage of something fresh. Fresh it was and salty as heck too, making me sip my Pepsi away in two gulps to counter the Salton Sea I had just ingested.
In all this not a good place to eat. I've been here 3 times. As the old saying goes, "3 strikes and you're out." Yes it's under new management, but it must be the same crummy cooks and perhaps the same motto applies to this management of leaving old food in the tray and making it look so unappetizing that they don't care. They must be rich to not care to make a quality product, scratch that, decent product.
2 of 5 for their decor and their attentive waiters. I so wanted to give this place a shot, but alas, fool me three times shame on me...
