Paradise Buffet — Restaurant in Murray

I'm about to tell you about my sushi escapade at Paradise Buffet. The sushi was so good, it made me want to high five a baby panda (but I didn't, because they're delicate creatures). The rolls were as fresh as a mountain stream, and the flavors were so intense, they made my taste buds do the cha-cha.

Now, the servers at Paradise Buffet were a bit... selective with their attention. They seemed to only remember to bring me drinks when they were passing by my table on their way to flirt with the cute guy in the corner. And it looked like they were trying to ration my soda, as if it were the last can of Coke in a post-apocalyptic wasteland. I mean, I'm not asking for a firehose of soda, but a refill every now and then would be nice.

The food was alright, but some of the items were rarely refilled. I waited for like 20 minutes for the Mongolian beef and broccoli to be restocked, and when it finally came out, there was no meat in it! I guess they were saving all the meat for the people who were ordering more drinks. Or maybe they were just trying to get me to eat more vegetables. Who knows?

But the real star of the show was the Mongolian grill guy. This dude was like a culinary wizard. He would cook anything you put in the bowl, no matter how weird or disgusting it was. I saw him cook a bowl of shrimp, a bowl of pork, and a bowl of beef. And he did it all with a smile on his face.

But the thing that really made me laugh was the way he would extend his hand out after he cooked your food. It was like he was expecting a $100 dollar bill. I mean, I get that he's a talented chef, but come on, dude. I'm not made of money.

So if you're ever in the mood for some good sushi and a side of weirdness, then be sure to check out Paradise Buffet. Just be sure to bring a lot of cash, and don't be surprised if you see the Mongolian grill guy staring at you with...

Things I liked: the taco meat and toppings, actually quite good. Sushi really not bad for buffet setting. Soups decent. Edamame was a hit at our table (two littles). Breaded fried chicken for the sweet and sour sauce were pretty good. Actual scooped-up ice cream (not soft serve) was good! and cotton candy too. Didn't try other desserts based on reading reviews that there wasn't much to brag home about. Didn't try the Mongolian grill or salad bar. Littles liked the lo mein noodles, the broccoli of the beef n broccoli option (low on the beef), the fries (decently potatoey regular fries), and the peaches, shredded cheese, and sunflower seeds from the salad bar.

Ultimately not like as many Chinese plate options, like meat+veggie dishes. That's one reason we love Golden China, the variety of foods. But this place, even though it was kinda busy at noon on a Wednesday, felt far less stressful and dirty than King Buffet... Lots of tables, though pretty close together, and booth seating. Soft drinks available through the server.

As these times I know hiring shortages plague the land, but our server was mostly absent and when we asked for a high chair that had a functioning buckle to replace the one we had without, she said, as she took some of our used plates and offered water refills to another table, "uh I don't have time but they're over by the bathroom. A lot of them don't have working buckles, so be careful." The staff seemed very spread thin. But the nice lady who scooped my ice cream was attentive and came from another buffet line to serve me. They're trying, but it's definitely not top service.

Overall decent, I wouldn't refuse to go again sometime. Lots of bites to scratch that itch for Chinese buffet. Oh, and the mac n cheese was vile. Do skip...
