| - OK, the atmosphere is pretty blah, but it looked clean enough and the stainless steel buffet lines looked like hospital equipment. Perhaps not that inviting, but it was looking pretty shiny the night we were there.
Layout was a little strange, as were some of the selections: salad bar was in the back row, along with the dessert, and in addition to Asian appearing dishes were pizza, french fries, garlic bread, palmieres, cheese-baked mussels, onion rings - you get the drift. Maybe not authentic Cantonese, but something familiar to please timid palates like your kids and whiny sister-in-law.
As for the "authentic" stuff, the noodles looked swollen and mushy, but the fried rice was fine, orange chicken was comparable to Panda Express, for what that's worth,and they had fried shrimp and even crabs, although they looked too puny to bother with. I don't like working that hard for my food.
For some reason, Babygirl and I were both craving broccoli (probably because I haven't cooked anything in ages that didn't involve melted cheese and the deep fryer), so we both actually picked around the meat and took all the vegetables, which were cooked pretty nicely.
Still, it might have been a two star experience, but, the staff was pleasant, it was less than 10 bucks (well, not including drinks), and, can you say "All the cream cheese rangoons you can eat?" Believe me, we got our money's worth!
(And for the record, I'm scratching my head a little over the review from the person with female sounding name who claimed to observe a male employee in the restroom not washing his hands. Who was in whose bathroom? Deep thoughts.)
