China Wok Buffet — Restaurant in Halls Crossroads

We've given this place four tries, since, for me, being Vegan, it's hard to dine out. My husband gets the buffet, while, because they have only sautéed greenbeans as a vegetarian option on their buffet, I always order number 37 on their (out-dated prices) menu, allegedly crispy tofu with mixed vegetables. They have a Mongolian thing, but no Vegan proteins out to have added to the veg.

Literally every time, his buffet quality was different. Sometimes it was fine or even good, other times some mains were cold and tasteless. Sometimes, the trays are mostly gone, while this last time, they were full and fresh (on a Sunday, around 5PM).

My food came out differently every time. The first time was best, with the tofu being crispy, and the selection and amount of veg excellent. The second time, the tofu was not crispy, but mushy, but the veg was okay. The third time, the tofu was mushy, not even really cooked, and the mixed veg was off in what they put in it. The fourth time, the tofu was perfectly crispy, and extra ample, but the veg was skimpy and off again. I had maybe four pieces of broccoli, four chunks of zucchini, a few carrot strips, and the rest was sliced water chestnuts, shredded bamboo shoots, and nasty baby corn.

The first time, since some places will make them fresh if asked, I asked if they had vegetable egg rolls, and the guy sneered at me, answering, "We have spring rolls." No shit, Sherlock. I can read, and am not stupid; I know the difference. I asked again if I could get vegetable egg rolls, as I wanted vegetable egg rolls. He was rude, and just repeated himself. He brought me two spring rolls, at egg roll prices, and they were as small as my ring finger. They were almost hollow, and tasted like burnt shit.

The first three times, the waitress was a person who could not understand how to take my order. I literally pointed at the menu for her. She had to get someone, and the second and third time, I didn't get my food till my husband was done eating. This last time, the sneering guy was my waiter, and I made sure to order as we were seated. The service is always slow, and the staff is never friendly. If you are desperate, this place would do, but don't get...

So I wanted to go on a little dinner date with my boyfriend, and he had never been to the China Wok Buffet so I decided to take him there. It was a Friday night, and we got in there an hour before closing. We were the only ones there, and we felt bad for showing up so late, so we asked the host if he was fine with us eating there, and he sorta just nodded. So we were sat down and a really nice lady got us our drinks; she confused my unsweet tea with a diet coke and switched out the drink relatively quickly. However, the part that really got me was when I sat down to start eatinng with him all the workers in the restaurant started speaking very loudly back and forth in their native tongue. They would literally be right behind me and yelling across the room towards one another, and it made it very difficult to speak to him seeing as though we couldn’t hear each other. We finished up our meal within 15 minutes and asked for the check; our server was sorta shocked and worried as to why we were leaving so quickly; we were surrounded by well over ten people, and the last thing I wanted to do is comment on the service seeing as though they kept yelling and looking in our direction as well as saying stuff in a rather taunting tone. I use to go to this place very frequently during the day time because service was usually really good and their yelling would be drowned out by the sound of people. However, tonight was so awful that I doubt I’ll ever go back there. It essentially ruined my night, and the thought if them distracted me through the entire movie we...

So a friend and I have been going here for a couple of years.We mainly go for the amazing coconut shrimp, which you can only get at DINNER time. The last time we went in about 2 weeks ago we arrived about 10 minutes before dinner...we were treated horribly by the waitress and the person that seated us. We got a bowl of soup and a couple of small appetizer type items while waiting for them to switch over to dinner. Immediately as I approached the buffet for some of that yummy coconut shrimp, I was yelled at buy both of these employees!!! They literally came to me and screamed in my face the this was for dinner buffet only!!! I said that is why we are here. And then we were stared and gauked at the entire time we were there. Then they brought our ticket to our table and guess what.... They only charged us for lunch, which we were going to bring to their attention as we were checking out.... BUT THEY REALIZED THEIR MISTAKE AND CAME BACK TO OUR TABLE AND JERKED THE TICKET FROM MY HANDICAP FRIENDS HAND. THEY THEN BROUGHT IT BACK WITH THE CORRECTION. CAN YOU SAY RUDE!!!!...
