All-You-Can-Eat Heaven for Pocket Change

I’ve buffet-hopped across Boise – American chains, casino spreads, you name it – and THIS spot slaps the competition straight into the fryer. 📍 Chong Yun China Grand Buffet 💰 Price so low I cried: ~$12 lunch / ~$15 dinner (weekend +$2) 👂 Language bonus: staff speak Fuzhou & Cantonese – order in Chinese for secret off-menu items! 🥢 Why It’s “extremely” Good 1️⃣ DISH COUNT = 60+ hot dim-sum line, sushi boat, Mongolian grill, crab legs (Fri-Sun), Peking duck station, durian pastry, AND fresh hand-pulled noodles. 2️⃣ LOU-FEN NOODLES ⭐ first tray empties in 15 min – silky rice-sheet, minced pork, pickled long-bean, chili oil splash. Grab it before aunties form a queue! 3️⃣ VALUE SHOCK comparable buffets here charge $22-28; this bill = cheaper than a fast-casual salad. 4️⃣ 20-YEAR LEGEND opened same year Boise got its first Target – they’ve survived rent spikes & pandemics = quality locked. 🍴 Pro Buffet Raid Plan Seat strategy: circle once, spot the lou-fen station, plate it first (it disappears). Seafood window: crab legs refilled every 20 min – flag the server for the next tray. Dessert dark-horse: warm sesame balls & durian puffs – ignore the generic jello. Waste fine: they politely charge $3 per leftover pound – so take what you can actually finish. 🧧 Insider Hack Pay cash & mention (fellow townsman) – cashier sometimes slips a 10 % discount receipt. Bottom line: Chong Yun is proof that Boise can feed you like an emperor without emperor-level budget. Come hungry, leave with a noodle coma and a receipt shorter than your Starbucks order. #US #ID #Boise
