| - The staff are very friendly and helpful. They will always stop to talk to you, or assist you when asked. The restaurant is clean and has plenty of seating, and the attached Asian grocery store has the stuff you need if you're already there and don't want to drive down to Seafood City (a few blocks down on Maryland). The prices are inexpensive--$8.99 for the buffet, and $1.49 for a fountain drink. Then there's the actual food: it's a buffet under two buffet warmer lines. It's hot, ready, and about average. It's not the best in town. But I go there a lot because I know exactly what to expect and the owners are so cool. After half a dozen visits, I've never had any complaints about my meals. The rice is never too dry or wet, and everything is pretty salty. But that's what you're there for--inexpensive, Filipino comfort food in an all-you-can-eat serving size. The only real hassle is the parking--the lot has an awkward entrance depending on which direction you're driving on Maryland Parkway, and it's on a sketchy stretch of road. There have been a couple of times that friends and I left around closing and could not continue our conversations in the parking lot--too many unsavory types leering at us and lurking about. But the food is decent, cheap, and always ready, and the staff are kind and helpful.
