Lucky Buffet — Restaurant in Brookside

Went about a month ago with my husband wanting some Chinese food. We went and the food was cold and not fresh at all. While we were eating our “waitress” would come over every 10 minutes saying “thank you” for no reason and would stare at our table about every 3 minutes as if she wanted us to leave. Went back about a week ago and that same “waitress” was there once again food not fresh at all and all cold. She was staring at us again from across. I had to use the restroom so I took my wallet out my pocket to give it to the husband so he could hold on to while I went real quick and she ran over to our table very fast with her hand out saying “thank you” and we were confused. She then proceeded to say “tip, tip, tip” about 10 times. Keep in mind we were only on our second plate not even done still trying to finish our meal. She then reached across the table across from both my husband and I while we were eating!! She grabs our receipt from across and takes a pen out her pocket and where it says “tip” on the receipt she circles it giving us the pen proceeding to say “tip, tip, tip” once again. At this point we are getting annoyed because we were still in the process of eating and I only took my wallet out to use the restroom. This restaurant is unprofessional and rude. Never again. Food and service is not better can go...

I was out running errands when an incredible hunger gripped me. I drove through the shopping center hoping to find something that would quench it, and there it was! Lucky Buffet! I figured I'd take my chance, I love a solid Chinese buffet. I needed a mask to enter, had forget one, and lady at the desk sorta reluctantly gave me one. Beyond that point, no enforcement of masks, take with that as you will.

The food is tasty, and there is a nice atmosphere. There are quite a few buffet lines, which should have a large variety. Staff does well on keeping the floors and tables clean.

However, Variety first appears numerous but upon closer inspection, is repeating a lot, making minute changes. Most of the selections seem to just be... Lacking. Like Mai Fun is very thick rice noodles (I still think it's spaghetti noodles honestly). A lot of bland flavors, or things sit for too long, and become hard and dry.

Now, I'd like to give this place the benefit of the doubt. I came for lunch ($11.45) on a Thursday, which is honestly a little steep for the quality of food. Maybe this is an off day, or dinner is better. Regardless, there's too many food options around here to be running like this if they wanna stay in business.

P.s. Give us actual Asian food, and not discount...

So, my family and I are usuals at this place. We ignore the owner who assumes the front desk is her throne to look down on everyone because the food (weekends only) is pretty good. However Were southern folks so on holidays I or my husband usually cook. Welp, silly us for trying to change it up. This past Sunday Fathers day we went and there was NOTHING new on he bar to make it "Fathers Day Special" but some snow crab which ONLY my mother ate. Now again we frequent here so pur bill is almost always about $55 depending on of we get beer or just soda still only a $2 difference. But because she decided she would take advantage of the holiday our bill was over $93! I was TICKED! she said that's all day and there was a sign saying that. Rather you have snow crab or not. The sign said "Fathers day special snow crab dinner all day"! So one would assume that the snow crab is offered all day and should you get it (like most restaurants do) then you et the special billing. Because of that stunt of thievery we will NEVER come here again. Smh, lost the business of loyal customers because she wanted to take advantage and he sad thing is they get good business I n Sundays especially there was no...
