Yong Kang Street — Restaurant in New York

I must be honest as always when I am leaving a review about a business because reviews are what makes a business. This place in my opinion is absolutely the worst. For those of you who are familiar with the beautiful buffets we had back in the days before the pandemic even further back like in the year of 2015 and 14 where the buffets were hot flavorful and the food was absolutely good remember those days? Will this place is nothing like it. There is no flavor when it comes to the cabbage, there's no flavor when it comes to the fried chicken, the Rangoon cheese a very hard they allow them to sit there for a period of time and they just become hard. Even down to the chicken and broccoli the chicken does not taste like chicken it does not look like chicken. So it has me wondering what type of meat is it. For those who can clearly say the food is good it tells me you have never tasted very well prepared Chinese food and I say that with respect but facts are facts. People may flock to this place because there's only one price regardless how high you pile your plates but why power your plate with food that is not flavorful? It's just not what a buffet should be the colors of the different foods is colorful and it may even look appetizing but it's not worth the money. Let's talk about the dining area if you look in the video or look at the pictures you'll see it's clutter boxes upon boxes are sitting over in the area where there is to be a soda fountain it's a soda fountain is broken remove it throw it in the garbage instead of allowing it to collect dust and sappy syrup. And then you want to know why you got the rating you did from the Board of Health? Also look at the wall that is built up that's supposedly separate the kitchen from a separate area it's filthy. And this is a small area in which we are supposed to sit and dine. The food at the hot table if it's not bought straight out the kitchen and dumped into the plates then you're eating food that is close to room temperature on a summer day. I would really suggest the board of health get down there much more than they do. People don't be fooled this is not the Chinese food of back in the days this is a restaurant that wants to make money off of people who are gluttons and will eat just about anything offer to them. I'm shameful that I piled my plate up and was unable to give the plate back to them with the food even though I didn't eat it all. I had a couple of bites out of everything and then spit it into a napkin. The food was definitely given to the homeless man who Waits outside of Kings Plaza near the b46 bus stop you all know that man if you are familiar with this area. He even said "can I get some hot sauce or salt" he didn't like it. But as I always say don't take my word for it go ahead and be the guinea pig for yourself. It is not worth the money at all. My suggestion to the company do better really put in concern for your customers and not concern for your pockets when you're serving the community that is more geared towards people of color. Because truly what you're doing is saying they'll eat anything just as long as the Price Is Right. Well I'm here to say you're...

food tastes amazing!!! the chinese food is great and the buffet looks nice. as usual i ordered the beef noodle soup and it didn't disappoint me... there were plump pieces of beef, carrots, vegetables, thick noodles, and the most wonderful salty soup. the wontons also tasted good but the wonton skin was too thick, it could be good for dumplings but not wontons. the bowls are huge so we ate some here and took them back home. this place is also pretty crowded in the mall and you might have to wait for people to finish eating to sit down....

This is a quick service restaurant where you can either order from the counter or go through the buffet line. They have quite a few options in the buffet, but less on the menu. We ordered soup dumplings and while yummy, they were all open so the soup was out. We also tried the beef noodle soup which was very bland (without spice for the kid, perhaps why) and just scalding hot for 45 minutes after it was purchased.

It's perfectly fine if you're starving but not if you're looking for a calm respite...
