A diner from across the river

Amazing quality of food for a buffet. Huge variety for such a small place. I especially like the hot & sour soup, spring rolls, crab rangoons, stuffed crab, fried green beans, stuffed mushrooms, seafood casserole. My husband LOVES the peanut-butter chicken. Rediculously low prices. You can have good food here for what you'd pay for salt & grease at a fast food place -- and have it faster!

They used to be pretty decent a few years ago (I believe they're under new ownership). My family visited this restaurant for my birthday the other day, which was a big mistake. First, the waitress seats us and gets us our drinks - no problems here. But then she runs off and doesn't even ask whether we want the buffet or we want to order off the menu, so my mother gets up to go find her and tells her that I want to order and everyone else wants the buffet. I order the Bean Curd Schezuan-style, which is what I usually get when I visit a Chinese restaurant, but obviously the cook knows nothing about how to make Chinese food. The food arrived in a congealed, yet bland sauce. The vegetables tasted like they were sitting in water all day (also extremely bland), and the bean curd was soggy. I asked for some hot sauce and was told to go up front and ask. Not only would our waitress not get it, but they didn't even have bottles, just the cheap, generic packets, and we had to wait a whole 5 minutes to get the hot sauce. I try the food again with the hot sauce, but it's just too bad to eat. I ask my waitress to send it back, and she just gives me a weird look and leaves to go get another waitress, and proceeds to discuss the problem with her in Chinese for about 3 minutes. She tells me that I should have said something immediately. Seriously? I had to wait 5 minutes for hot sauce! I ask to see the manager, and the 2nd waitress says I can eat at the buffet for $.25 more, which I didn't realize at the time that it was the price of about 2 buffets. I go up to the buffet, and hardly anything is labeled (which is a real problem because I have food allergies), and I actually saw ants in some of the dishes. Okay, I've had it, and I'm leaving. My boyfriend found a tiny crab in his vegetable lo mein. Gross! My family ate the food from the buffet before I noticed the ants, and they agreed that their food was bland and nothing at all like Chinese food is supposed to taste like - even worse than Chinese buffet food. I know buffets tend to be a little lower in quality, but this is ridiculous. Needless to say, I will never visit this restaurant again, and I will be warning others not to go here as well.
