| - As far as Chinese buffets go, this is one of the best. However, the downside to that is the price - you'll be paying about $14 per person (plus the cost of sodas if you want them). If this was $5 cheaper, I would've given them 4 stars. Regardless, it's a fun place to go to.
One of my favorite things about this place is that they just have an enormous selection of different foods. They have lots of the standard Chinese buffet foods you would expect, but they also have sushi, a few different kinds of buns and dumplings, and then just random things that I would assume are fairly authentic. I've had pig ears, chicken feet, and jellyfish here, so if you want to try something new or disturb your squeamish friends, you have a lot of opportunity for that. Last time I went they didn't have any jellyfish out which was disappointing because honestly, jellyfish is pretty delicious. If they have it while you're there, try it out.
There are generally a LOT of Asian people at Phoenix Palace Buffet, which to me seems like a good sign that this is at least semi-authentic. Also, they have a gigantic space in their building and have way, way too much seating, so you shouldn't have to worry about trying to find enough chairs and tables for a large group.
One last thing - don't forget to try the lotus seed paste buns. They're a semi-sweet dessert bun and they're awesome.
