Number 1 buffet — Restaurant in Avondale

Okay. They had one vegan dish on the buffet. They did have green beans. They mushrooms were not edible grill. You could do mixed vegetables with noodles but they watered down the soy sauce. She didn't really get the char or the flavor of the soy sauce on the vegetables. I would say their eggplant and garlic was delicious. The bok choy was okay on the sushi bar. It shows in photographs that the restaurant posted that they had the tofu pockets that would hold either a seaweed salad or rice, etc. They don't have that. There was a tofu dish at the bar or the sushi bar that had cucumbers, onions and tofu with it. It was okay. It was good your typical salad bar but here's the catcher of the evening. All right. Sit down. The amount of people that came up to the bar licking their fingers picking up a plate and then going and touching the utensils at the buffet bar. The gentleman in the blue shirt with a baseball cap. Stop it. The guy with the black sleeveless shirt with the tan pants and the pooka shell necklace stop it. The lady with the MK barrette in your hair. Stop it. Quit licking your fingers and then touching the utensils to the buffet bar and the guy in the black shirt with the beard and the curly , that puts your hands down your pants to adjust yourself and then went back to pick up the utensil at the bar. And then the way people just kept bumping into me repeatedly the serve, not the servers, but it was the people that were putting out the food because they couldn't help it because it was the patrons that were just running around like a rat and a maze or cockroaches. When you turn the light on, people were scattered. It was just utter chaos to be three lines of food, a sushi bar with a salad bar on one side and then a salad bar with half desserts you would think that people could understand where they're going. It's a nightmare. I will not go back cuz it's utter chaos and I'm sorry I don't pick up utensils after someone has licked their fingers or adjusted their genitals and they put the food back and then at the same time. And honestly this should not be number one buffet. It should be number eight in the city because it is number eight because there's other buffets that are much better than this number one buffet. It should be number eight.

This meal is not worth $21.

Maybe 15.00

You shouldn't water...

My family and I went for the first time today (Friday) , we got seated and there was about 35 minutes left for "dinner" to start , we went served our first round and waited at the hibachi station for about 10 minutes took our time to walk around the big selection of food then went and sat down , it was very busy. When were going to go for our 2nd round , my dad and I got some crab legs. Once we got to our table JESSICA our waitress tells us "oh you got crab legs , do you want me to switch your price from lunch to dinner? I said , huh? Why? she said because the crab legs are now dinner , I said ok but why would you want to switch our price now when we got seated and started eating in lunch time? She said yeah but you got crab legs , I said your telling me that if the crab legs are in the middle of the buffet with all the food we CAN'T get any because we got here during lunch time? She said yeah. I said let me speak with a manger. She completely interupted our family time and made a scene. 5 min later the manager comes and says yeah its now dinner so we need to switch prices now. And I proceeded to ask him so if the crab legs are in the buffet we can't have any? He laughed and said yeah. I told him we have been here for 30 minutes!!! Is it our fault you guys don't charge first then seat us? That way they lock your price. He said , if you want I can REMOVE your plate of crab legs and I wont charge you dinner price??? My family and I were shocked at how unproffesional and rude the manager acted. I told him go ahead and charge us , but just know that I will be leaving a review so people are aware of this issue with the seafood. He knew very well that it didn't make sense. I asked for his name (ANDY) , then when we got out check they added an extra buffet. We were a party of 2 seniors (my parents) and 3 adults. We got charged 2 seniors and 4 adults. Really bad customer service. So please check your...

Please read if you plan on visiting!!!! Food was great. Service was great. Unfortunately, will not be returning. There is a 12% service charge (mentioned in huge letters before you pay), which I do not normally mind. However, when I went to add more to make my total gratuity 20%? I was informed that if I was to write a tip on the credit slip that it would go to owner. I was told the owner keeps the entirety of the tip including the service fee. I find that unacceptable and refuse to return. Customers leave tips expecting to go to the staff. Not the owner who is already turning a profit.

Update: owner is accusing me of lying and making a fake review. I have done no such thing and am actually very sad because the place was great and would’ve happily returned. I love supporting small businesses and want nothing more than to see them be successful. Too many have unfortunately closed in the area. Im just relaying what I was told by multiple employees. They explicitly asked me to tip in cash because the owner keeps the credit tips. I have nothing to gain by leaving a “fake review” I have no history of leaving bad reviews. I was simply appalled by what I was told by the employees. I’m more than happy to discuss this further, but I was told by your employees yesterday that they do not keep their tips. If this is false(and they have some other motive for saying this) , then you need to have a serious discussion with your staff because that is what I was told. I want nothing more than for this to be false because it is very immoral. The staff works very hard and provided such a great experience yesterday and I hope they are getting every cent of their tips. If the owner wants to confirm to me that their employees are in fact giving those who attempt to tip on the credit card slip false information, then I will happily remove both this review and my yelp review because that is unfair to the owner of this...
