| - the rating is more like 2.5. oh this isn't a hate review. Read for details
I guess this is family owned, and we went on a thursday afternoon and it was half full according to me for thursday lunch. She got a deal for this place (10 for 20 groupon) and that' why I went there, I generally tend to stay away from Asian Buffets, because
1. they dont have many vegetarian options.
2. They don't really differentiate much between vegetarian and meat, even when it comes to preparation, so don't be surprised if you see an occasional meat piece in your "vegetarian food".
Like i said that is my general observation after being to several of these places. But let's see what's the story at this Thai Buffet
Reason for the 2 stars ( or shud we say Pros)
- Really Friendly people. Both the old lady (cook?) and the teenage girl (server) were really friendly and tried their best to be personal.
- Amazing desert (coconut sticky Rice?) check the pic
- Trying to set up something of a different buffet for a change, I like the concept of a Thai buffet (which for people who don't know is way different from a regular Asian Buffet)
Reason for the LACK of 3 stars ( cons, really)
- No vegetarian options, absolutely NO Options. Oh the rice paper Vietnamese role counts, but does it entail the entire buffet? Thai food has so many lovely vegetarian options, but it was sad to see the place not even try to make a single entree.
- I just feel there was one lady back there preparing everything on her own, so basically when she goes in, she comes back after 20-30 mins with a dish, all along people just wait for it, because the 1-2 dishes out here are empty, what kind of buffet does one havta wait? Eventually people just give up and leave, is this a strategy? Just saying!
- When I asked the old lady about it, she said she will make something but never came out or to me with it until I was done eating, guess she just wanted me to leave lol.
- Finally when I asked again, the old lady came out with egg rolls and she told me the reason they were late was because she had put the 'frozen' egg rolls in the oven too long and a few parts were burnt so she cut them off and brought me the rest. I was like :| (Frozen, really? I could go to costco and buy them myself, whatever happened to making somethin? and really cut the burnt parts and bring me the rest?)
- Oh they didnt even have a drink in the buffet, so basically I had nothing to eat & drink at all.
Anyhow, I would love to come back and check it again in future, if they do make some changes about the cons above, & ofc if they have something veggie other than costco frozen rolls.
But if not anything I just would love to come back and say hi to the wonderful people at Thai Buffet. Like I said, this was never a hate review, I just feel like there is tremendous potential for improvement to a lovely idea.
