| - What you would expect at a Chinese buffet with slightly above average food quality. I have my favorite Asian buffet that I usually go to, but one of my friends insisted that I give this place a try.
Variety is okay. You have the typical Chinese buffet staples (General Tso's chicken, lo mein, fried rice, etc), but there were a few atypical items that I appreciated. One was the roasted duck, which you don't always find in Chinese buffets. The duck was reasonably moist and tender. Another unique dish I liked was the calamari, which was served in big pieces, not the typical tiny pieces that you usually find in buffets. The third was the Chinese vegetable dish which was mislabeled as string beans. Most Chinese buffets put way too much oil into their vegetables. The dish here had a little more oil than it should, but it wasn't overwhelming.
Positives and negatives for the Mongolian barbecue grill/sushi bar: The Mongolian BBQ has a good variety of vegetables, but not a lot of sauce choices. The meats, however, were very lean. In terms of sushi, not a large selection of nigiri. The few rolls I had, however, were very creative. Awesome part about the sushi bar - the sushi chef made me a custom item that was not offered in the buffet that night.
My go-to Cleveland Chinese buffet is still my favorite, but if my friends ask me to come here again, I'm in.
