| - For $24 a head (the new price) Yangtze offers all you can eat, old, standard takeout food in a pretty nice setting.
Food was standard Panda Express faire, of below average quality, at an exorbitant price. Variety was lacking, as there was heaping quantities of orange chicken and BBQ ribs, but very few exotic options -- lots of skewers and sweet and sour, few mapo tofu, garlic eggplant, etc. Food was nearing 3-star quality in terms of preparation, but wasn't very fresh. Was sitting under a heat lamp for quite some time, and the condensation from the food was constantly dripping back into the trays. Fruit selection was pretty limited; just watermelon and orange slices. Sashimi salmon looked quite old and was wrapped in plastic. This all sounds abysmal, but normal fried rice is still tasty, so it still didn't taste AWFUL.
Service was okay. Plates were taken reasonably often, but dishes were often speckled with food and/or wet.
The most redeeming quality was the decor. Pretty clean interior, no tacky decorations, good standard white tablecloths. Bathroom was not the mess many buffets have it in, and had reasonably thick and soft toilet paper. Decor was probably 3 stars.
