"Large buffet featuring an assortment of foods: American, Italian, Asian, Mexican, seafood, and so many dessert options. 3.5 stars\n\nFood: 3.5, atmosphere: 4, service: 4\nCost to worth it rating: 3 ($35 for weekday lunch)\nReturn worthiness: maybe\n\nHighlights:\n- Asian area: the best station for me. Usually you get impostors, but the cha sui baos were legit: soft buns and sweet insides without fat. Also enjoyed the large cha sui pieces and duck.\n- Italian: the spinach ravioli in vodka sauce and meatball were really good. I liked the single little dishes they put out for taste portions \n- Deep fried broccoli cheese casserole: surprising favorite \n- American plating: loved the little buckets for the tater tots and waffle fries and the mini fry basket with a piece of fried chicken and sweet potato fries\n- Brisket: nice rub on the outside and liked the option of BBQ sauces\n- Red velvet whoopie pie: soft and on point flavors for a authentic rendition \n- Dessert variety: from cupcakes and cookies to bread pudding to unique gelato flavors to made to order crepes to sugar free desserts and more, there was tons to choose from\n\nMidlights:\n- Good amount of empty spots: those items looked good but guess they were so popular they ran out \n\n\nLowlights:\n- Shrimp: cold one tasted a bit fishy and the hot one with heads were overlooked \n- Spicy fried fish: was excited for this dish but wasn't that great--probably because it was sitting out\n- Meat inconsistency: some was dry\n\nSome items were great but as with most buffets others were mediocre. If you're a dessert person you might like it. I'd consider coming back, but won't be in a rush and wouldn't stand in a long line for it."^^ . "2013-07-23T00:00:00"^^ . "0"^^ . "3"^^ . "0"^^ .
