Dreamcatcher Buffet-Feather — Restaurant in Oroville

Disappointing birthday dinner.

My wife brought me here all the way from Orland for a Mongolian grill birthday meal. It was our first time eating here.

The problems became apparent pretty quickly. The person building our bowl was super stingy with the ingredients. There was a large communication hurdle and we couldn't understand what she was saying. We would ask for a vegetable, in my case jalapenos, and she put in two little slices. I told her I liked it spicy and please add more. She added one more slice. I asked her to please add more she added one more slice. Everything we asked for she put in a half or less than we actually wanted.

My wife asked for one of the spicy sauces to be added to her bowl and the lady refused. We asked again for the sauce and she again said 'no you don't want that'. Like what the heck?? We wouldn't ask for it if we didn't want it.

The two couples of head of us were given enormous bowls to cook and when they were done their cooked bowls were very full. Our raw vegetables and noodles barely made it to the rim of the bowl and after cooking we were literally given a half a bowl of food to eat.

She took our bowls to the grill and one of the other cooks had to show her how to flip the meat with a spatula. Not very confidence inducing.

As we made our way to the cashier, a manager was standing next to the cashier. I told the manager that I was disappointed that we had gotten a server who didn't give us what we wanted by half and she just simply said "well the food cooks down". No kidding. But when a small bowl cooks down to a half a bowl or less, we're not getting what we paid for. The manager wasn't interested in hearing me and walked away.

The food WAS good, but the portion was comically small by the 1 person who built ours compared to every single other customers.

It was a very disappointing birthday meal that we had traveled an...

Buffet mostly the reason we got here. Small area, not what one would call endless options. Crew working the place overall very nice. Food sadly lacked finesse and a bit more variety. Their Pozole, per say, was just a thick and very rich flavored creation with copious amounts of hominy, but more of an American version as opposed to its Mexican origin. 3 Stars. Tri Tip the best of the options, had its moments, particularly the medium rare to medium, which offered the softest meat mostly. What the knife could not cut as in the well done pieces, left behind. 4 Stars. Their Mongolian grill ran by a very nice oriental lady, with enough charm and competence to overcome the oily rich final dish, which had a dozen options or so, between veggies and frozen proteins plus traditional rice noodles and thin wheat ones. 3.5 Stars. Drinks included, a decent iced tea, hot decaf and sodas. 3.5 Stars. Salads, dressings and don’t let me forget, fried mid size shrimp and fish, plus chicken. A little tartar sauce and the shrimp easy to finish. 3.5 Stars. Sugar free desserts a nice thing to see, and even though actually sweet difficult to not finish. Under $20 per it satisfied but did not impress. Like a buffet, plenty to consume. Restrooms well kept. Closes at 9 PM Thursday-Sunday only. With all due respect a small venue compared to bigger ones. Some can not get enough of this place which was busy as it should...

I ordered a prime rib dip which comes with au jus and your choice of fries for $15.00. Due to an allergy, I chose to upgrade to a side salad with ranch dressing for $2.00 extra. The sandwich was good but the au jus could have been a bit better. The salad was good and their ranch dressing was good as well. The server was very Friendly and somewhat attentive but was not on top of making sure drinks were filled (she would also forget to bring the drink at least 3 times) and she seemed to be more attentive (checking with them often, ect ..) to the two other tables around us and it was very noticeable which was a bit irritating when you needed something. It was fairly busy so there was a lot of people around us so it did take a little while to get to order and then have your food arrive so be...
