This is challenging for me to rate. Food flavors were polarizing to me. More below. We arrived and they had about 20 people in a loose line outside. We found parking easily even though they were at capacity. We took a number and asked if they could call rather than us stand around outside. We waited in the car. Wait time was longer than promised but about 30 minutes, and we were able to wait in the car.

Food here was hit and miss. My wife said that she liked it but only ate a surprisingly little for a buffet but said she was full. When I asked her again the next morning she said it was good except the orange chicken was small and dry

I had some crab legs. It was a bit difficult to get them as they would dissappear quickly, but by swinging by I was able to get them when they brought out more, and I did get to have all that I wanted. They were whole legs, individual, and not cut, i didn't see any utensils to help, but I did not ask and managed even the claws with a fork. They did have better than average flavor so worth the work.

I tried the salt and pepper crab. Creamy with salt ouside on the shell made for salty fingers was a nice surprise. Small crab and you have to work a little but new to me and delicious.

I started with speaking to those two things that I really liked because they were what saved the food experience for me, but I don't know if I would go back

I typically like to try a bite or two each of several things then go back for more if good. This also helped me get the crab legs when I saw them bring them out.

Foods that seemed normal to me. Vegetarian low mein normal, pot sticker flavorful, calamari very light breading, octopus salad (spicy), clams in heavy asian sauce.

I'm trying to remember if there was anything else that I liked. My other goto favorites at Chinese restaurants seemed off to downright awful. But nothing tasted bad until after the miso.

Orange chicken, teriyaki chicken, even the sushi, which looked great but I only had one piece of each of 3 types but didn't get more because they just didn't seem good to me even favorites like salmon and yellowtail.

Maybe miso had killed my appetite. The miso soup tasted like dishwater but my wife said it was just weak. I kept retasting it from my bowl, hoping, as I really like miso, but I just couldn't get it to taste good.

So perhaps that affected me but nothing else tasted good enough to get more than a sample. I tried to reset with jello, banana in sweet red sauce but my dessert favorites just tasted off, so I gave up.

So two nice things to praise the crab was surprisingly good, likely because it was whole leg not cut and not too tiny.

We did the weekend dinner Friday night.
