Oriental Buffet — Restaurant in North Adams

It's consistently OK.

They have one or two dishes that I haven't seen everywhere else (there's a pepper chicken that is actually quite good). They also have lettuce wrap-up rolls, which I rarely see at buffets and like (but they tend to run out).

Otherwise: too much space taken up by non-Chinese food. OK - if this were the 1980s I'd "get" that you have to offer a few American things because someone might not come with a group otherwise, but it's 2020.

When she got the sodas for us, she threw the straws on table. We ordered veggie chow mein, we got beef chow mein which was more expensive. The cook was the only one that gave us good service. He came and asked we were and how the food was. Would I go back, nope. I don’t give my money to people that do sloppy and...
