| - Myself and my boyfriend have been coming here for almost 4 years. The price was recently hiked up approximately $2 more than the previous $7.99 it seems. But we've always received prompt service, only once did we have a difficult time with the waiter. Chances are is that since I'm Asian, and my boyfriend is Caucasian, is what caused the not so great treatment. It happens ever so often when the establishment is mandated by Asian males. The females don't seem to care, and are always happy to see us.
We usually come here only for a few staples, their smoked chicken, egg rolls, soups, fried rice, and fried noodle dishes. And we stay the hell away from the ice cream. I found it pretty disgusting that people and snotty nosed kids could stick their dirty hands into the ice cream cartons in the freezer to serve themselves. No thanks.
I've tried their sushi previously, but experience has taught me to never EVER eat buffet sushi. Same rule applies here, unless you don't really have a reference level, then by all means, go for it.
I haven't tried their hibachi grill yet, I probably will soon. I'm afraid of it being bland then not wanting to finish the rest of it, and being charged.
If you're wanting water from here, ask for lemon in it, I'm somewhat of a water snob and their water tastes like tap, no matter, it won't kill you. :)
Although the place closes at 9, don't bother coming in past 8pm. I get it, I've worked in retail and fast food before, it SUCKS when someone comes in before closing. But if it's a privately owned place, and you're reaming in the money that comes through that door, and it means a family member is getting a tip, why not allow it? Especially if it's an HOUR before closing.
My boyfriend and I came in at 7:58PM about 2 weeks ago. The guy (pretty sure he's the manager) who sits at the desk, and doesn't seem to enjoy life, promptly says "You know we close at 9, right?" Really guy? I think we can eat in less than an hour, no need to be rude.
Meanwhile, our very kind waitress tells us to take our time, eat dessert, and relax. Why? Cause she probably overheard what the guy told us.
Like I said, I've never had a problem with most if not all of the females here. But the thing is, if you're courteous and polite to those that are serving you, it will be returned most of the time. We also clean up our table and don't leave a mess, and make sure our dishes are stacked, and at the end of the table that they can reach. I understand it's their job to clean up after a customer, but don't be a freaking slob dude. It's gross.
The best time to come is when they first open, as well as around 12PM (their lunch rush). Even though this place is a buffet, it also has a to go option. But it goes by the pound. So you put whatever food you want in a Styrofoam container and they weigh it. It seems like a rip off, cause it's just as expensive if not more, and it's per pound. Don't do it.
The motif on the inside is nice, and they play traditional music (but last time it seemed it was crappy modern music that you find on the radio, I hope this was just a fluke). The walls, windows, and carpet could use a change, or a tleast a cleansing. But with nasty people with no manners running around with their offspring, I can see why they probably feel like it doesn't matter. This place is in an area that is a shadow of it's former self (right next to the Metro Mall where they filmed Bill & Ted). So you get what you pay for.
But if you're looking for a wide selection (they have fruits, alot of desserts, and more familiar things like mashed potatoes, fries, and pizza, but I swear if I see you coming to an Asian buffet to eat that stuff, I will sass you!) and staff that aren't going to pressure you, or fuss at you, this is a decent place for the money really. I've seen other buffets start out at $12 for what these guys offer.
We'll continue to come here until we have to deal with someone or something crazy rude.
