I succumbed to the hard sell of my chinese tour bus guide $15.(buy one get one free lunch buffet) from Los Angeles to Las Vegas on May 13. 2015. Our tour bus was one of six, whose passengers had deboarded for their meal. We were only given 45 minutes to eat.
Yes, it was hectic and the lines to the bathroom were long. Since i was in a group of 3, someone collected the food as we took turns queuing for the restroom. The kitchen was trying their best to keep up with demand.
I was raised on authentic Chinese cuisine, and my selections included the deep fried pork chops, the steamed pork bao, and pan fried gyoza. I made my own dipping sauce, since there was no black vinegar to dip them in. The rest of the selections was pretty mehhh!, but I was able to put something edible together.
On our return trip back to Los Angeles, the tour guide billed it as a brunch buffet. The buffet featured smoked tea eggs in the shell. Their napa cabbage was braised with dried shrimp, which I liked.
I did sympathize with our western bus driver, who was from Texas, and was freaked out by the asian food. Since he didn't eat anything, I just gave him my oreo cookies since it was a 6 hour drive bk to LA!
All in all, the brunch was acceptable.
