| - I've eaten at a lot of these types of Chinese buffets over the years. Usually they're very mediocre because it's really built upon a specific financial model of quantity, not exquisite quality. It's not one of those super large Japanese buffets that cost in the mid to upper $20s, so you have to have a different expectation. Here are some elements that separate it from some of the buffet factories. First, the decor is a lot more modern, hip, and spacious than most. Second, there were some premium meats, like an actual leg of lamb and prime rib. There were some very nice parts that were tender, and some that were dried out. The sushi was basic, without a lot of exceptional fish. Nice large Shu Mai (pork dumplings dim sum). Potstickers were OK too. Enjoyed typical deserts of fruits, puddings, small cakes and ice creams. Basically geared toward Western tastes, but those with more specific Asian tastes can find a few good things like sticky rice wrapped in lotus leaf. So not amazing, but surprisingly better than most such Chinese large buffets.
It appears to be in a mall area that may have seen better days. I hope it can pick up to help this restaurant a bit more.
