| - Nope, sorry. I cannot pass anything but the price here. My bill was $9.99...if it had been 2 pennies more, I'd be mad.
We ended up here after we found out that the Hunan VIII across the street was closed for remodeling until AUGUST:( I had suggested Hunan VIII after getting coupons and reading decent reviews here...so I was a bit embarrassed by the place being closed (not a short drive for any of us, either).
I could tell by the outside of the place. Yeah yeah, whatever about judging books by their covers...all that went out the window with this place. Maybe its because I was really excited about Hunan, but I saw wavy stink lines rising from this place when I pulled up. Sillyishly, I followed my cousins in... I looked around as we stood in line and then did the dumbest thing of all...I paid.
Now I'll start my review in the bathroom, because that's where I headed first to check on my lil' cuz who really had to go before we got there I guess. Kitchen, women's bathroom, men's bathroom, and the door to outside were all in this little hall, which isn't a big deal cause you see that all the time. But this time, it just seemed...icky, and dark, and foreboding. And the bathroom had sticky floors. Minus one star for any establishment. Get some friggin Pine-sol.
So I finish checking on him and head for the food. Was it really 70 something dishes there? I guess, but it didn't really seem like it. Just looking at everything, it seemed decent, just a little low-budget. I was ok at that point because I knew I paid only 10 bucks for a buffet. So I made my plate, and became disappointed with the offerings. Too many similar chicken dishes. Too many things with shells that needed peeling. And upon a closer look at what I was heaping on my plate, it all looked...off.
Sat down and realized there was no beverage. Self-serve; I like self-serve beverages. Two dispenser machine things, your very basic selections but I guess you don't need that many at a buffet. But it was so unkempt in this spot...like nothing but kids came up to get drinks with no supervision. You know what I mean.
Finally dug in.
Nope.
Potstickers? So greasy it feels like I STILL need to wipe my mouth.
Chicken on a Stick? That didn't taste like any chicken I've ever had...and if it wasn't chicken, it wasn't pork, beef, or anything else.
Pepper Chicken? All pepper, no chicken taste...and black table pepper at that.
Saucy chicken, beef, pork dishes? All sauces were terrible, all meats tasted like a different, unidentifiable meat. Not exaggerating.
Rangoons? Plenty of goon; almost ran. I opened one up and there was this greasy and crumbly 'stuff' in there, and very little of it at that.
Wings? They had hot and regular fried. Bad texture ruined a halfway decent taste for the fried...and the hot seemed like it had some of the same horrid sauce from other dishes on them.
Didn't touch anything with shells. One of the kids got crab legs...the smallest crab legs I've EVER seen. She loves crab legs but didn't even finish the 3 she had.
Another cuz, gagged on the egg foo young. I caught the rest picking at their plates with forks, but eventually scarfed it all down due to hunger. One did say he enjoyed it...but he is easily pleased with food.
This was the least I've ever eaten at a buffet. I couldn't get past how unclean it all seemed, and I'm not usually that kind of out-eater. I kept tasting the food with the tip of my tongue before I let it all in my mouth, afraid I would taste something extra horrid.
Can't speak of the service. They came and got plates. Job done.
Food was brought out at a good rate.
The first bad buffet I've been to. But hey, there were plenty of other customers...well not plenty, but enough. So oh well.
