Yuan's Buffet — Restaurant in Hastings

Per the recent report of “new management” ofc I need to give them another shot. Here’s the quick breakdown:

I tried a small scoop of each chicken including tappanyaki, orange, general tso, black pepper chicken, sweet sour chicken.

Tappanyaki tasted like soy sauce. Also cool to the touch and the texture was mushy.

General Tso was awful . I spit it out. Straight mushy and cold as well.

Black pepper chicken tasted …. Like green pepper? Also cold

Sweet & Sour Chicken was actually very good. It was moist and the batter was warm and crispy.

Char Siu chicken on stick was moist and the memorable taste of slight sweet with the savory meat was amazing. Spot On.

Hot Sour soup. . . I’m gonna be fair here and say I hate hate hate most hot sour soups. I have tried authentic and I make it myself at home for many many people. I will call myself a hot sour soup snob; that being said I actually really wanted to like it because it is my favorite soup. It has the wrong base, it’s bland and absolutely wastes the wonderful black fungus and tofus potential. A shame.

Cream cheese wontons were soooooo good. There are so many that unnecessarily fail at this simple yet addictive snack.

I did not try anything else.

Pics are of food I got and the plate of what I refused to eat after tasting.

Sorry, but to be blunt, new management should mean they intend to change for the better I’d think. If I rated this place from 5 Gordon Ramsay’s to 5 awe naws (ten total points) I’m gonna say it’s a 3 awe naw level.

When I see a sign that says “New Recipes” I’ll come back to give it the dark shepherd retry

Staff...

First, I called ahead to get the price, I was told $14.99, I thought let's check out this Buffet..

I showed up around 17:45, or 5:45p.m. ..

The staff was friendly and greeted me quickly, ask what I wanted to drink, I told them, maybe I should have asked if drink is Include with buffet, ..

I went to the buffet line and everything looked amazing, there were lots to choice from, I won't say everything I picked, but it qll looked fresh and great.

I got to my table, which was close to the food line.

My first taste of the food, seemed to me to be at room temperature, I tried something else that I thought should be hot and again it was cold.

I'm not sure if the local board of health has been in to do a Surprise inspection, but everything I picked from the hot food line was not hot, room temperature or colder.

I don't like making a fuss at restaurants, so I just went to pay, which my total was over $18, I'm guessing the drink was extra.

I've been at Buffets before, after lunch rush, and had food that was old or not hot, but I went in this Establishment at 17:45, food should be warm or hot, nothen I sampled was warm or hot.

I would not recommend this buffet or will I every return.

Again my rating of 3 stars was becuese of the servers and atmosphere was pleasant, food I would rate a...

Update!Update* Sushi was the worst I’ve ever eaten and dried out like it was made the day before and left out! Hibachi has been closed also! No more Sesame Chicken, Sea Salt Shrimp or Ice Cream either! They dropped the price and cut the buffet options let alone took the whole Hibachi option away! Honestly it’s been getting worse and worse and they dropped their price to $14.99 but I wouldn’t even pay $10.00 for what we had tonight! I don’t think the floor in there has been cleaned in months either. Walk on food scraps all over. Bathrooms are filthy with air fresheners all over that look really old! My girlfriend was also very very disappointed! No more of this place for us!! Definitely went down the tubes and I foresee them closing the doors soon! It’s not the fact that we wasted $32.00 it’s that the food was such a disappointment compared to how it used to be! Very seriously don’t go there!

Good fresh food every time. Sushi is great and seafood is as well. Even frog legs! Price is reasonable!

I sure wish they would get Mussels on the Buffet! I sure wish they had Mussels on the Buffet! I’d go there way more often!! Ditto! Ditto! Ditto! Please Please Please get Mussels on your...
