Flaming Buffet — Restaurant in Richardson

If you're looking to eat edible food, DO NOT go here. I don't know if it's the manager or the business as a whole, but it seems like they don't even care about the food anymore. Almost everything tasted funky and horrible. The fried rice is stale and bland even if you manage to get the fresh batch. And then the chow mein bro, that shi tasted like straight hot water😭😭😭. It's not even the wide and thin noodles either, I'm 90% sure they used regular spaghetti noodles. Do not get the egg rolls, they look decent compared to the other food but I tapped out at the first bite because it tasted weird. The tempura shrimp looks like the ones sold in walmart. The sushi selection is very poor and most of them have a weird sour/vinegar taste. The fried chicken is so tough and dry. It fooled me pretty good actually since it looked pretty good at first. The chicken on the stick is also dry and lacking in flavor. The gyoza tastes alright, better with the sauce it comes with. The Chinese style chicken.... they don't even have orange chicken. They have general tso chicken, sesame chicken, and jalapeño popcorn chicken. The breading on the General tso and sesame chicken instantly disintegrated when I ate it. In simple terms, the breading was mushy and had a repulsing texture. There was any chicken inside too, it's just mushy breading and sauce. The jalapeño chicken was actually good, but because it was so greasy, you get tired of it after a couple of bites. The beef and broccoli was straight rubber too. For the desserts, most or half of them were store-bought, especially the cinnamon cake. It was simply too good to imagine them being able to make that. If you're looking for desserts, there's barely of a selection here. The jello is so bad it's funny. I mean, how can you mess up jello. The jello was so dry. The fruits are far from fresh too. The oranges were so sour and not sweet at all. Finally, the ice cream machine. This was my 3rd time coming here(since it was nearest buffet to me to calm my buffet urges), but the ice cream machine went nuts. It came out like soft poop. The chocolate tasted like expired milk. The ice cream didn't come out thick as usual. It came out thin and sad this time. It couldn't even hold its shape. Oh, and the pizza, I've been laughing at it for a good 10 mins now. It looks hilariously bad. The only thing I would come back for are the BBQ beef ribs. They were so tender and good. Please dont go here for your own good and spend the extra gas money to go to a higher...

TLDR:The servers and staff have it on point with the social distancing and they provided my guest and I gloves to wear while we picked our food. There have limited staff, but my drink was still full when I needed. The food was nice and hot. Everything had its own unique taste. Definitely recommend you give them a try. If you're still here for the rest, here you go:

This is my first visit during the pandemic. It was around 4PM when we arrived.

The Lo Mein is tasty. The rice is nice, fluffy and flavorful. The Teriyaki Chicken was delicious and Fried fish and their butterfly shrimp is awesome. Their crab cakes are wonderful too.

Try General Tzo's chicken and sesame Chicken with your Lo Mein or Rice, that flavor mixes well and is absorbed by either side dish.

There are many more choices to pick from!

The thing that kinda made me feel iffy, was not the staff's fault, but another customer who came in with no respect for others. Did not wear a mask, or gloves and even picked up a shrimp with his fingers and ate it on the spot and shared a piece of it with his date or spouse that was with him. Very disgusting and inconsiderate.

But again, it is not the staffs fault for not wanting a confrontation with this ignorant excuse of a man.

The guest that accompanied me is high risk individual and I found it very disturbing to see this man do this with no sign of care for anyone but himself. I lost my appetite after this transpired and decided to wrap up my visit a bit quicker than I expected to be there.

I provided pictures of the plates we prepared and the gloves we were given.

Again, the food was great, thank you to the kitchen staff preparing the lines. Help this place sir I've by going to visit as well as other local little restaurants.

Thanks for taking a moment of your day to reading my...

To start out I have to say this place should not even be okay to open for business. Roaches in the bathroom on the wall and floor around the toilet. Arrived about 7:00 p.m. with my family hoping to have a great meal thumbs down. Food was old and somewhat Rancid. Just after a few bites I started to feel sick to my stomach! My wife and daughter also complained of stomach pain after eating the orange chicken and a couple of pieces of sushi so we can't quite pinpoint exactly the cause! Food looked old dry and like it had set in the steam tables for hours. Will never eat at this place or recommend this place to anyone. Save yourself the trip. Definitely not worth getting sick over sadly we were hungry after a family road trip and chose this place over Coco shrimp Nextdoor. Such a regretful decision! Buyer beware stay away!! Take this from a food service director and executive chef is my profession and I should have known better sadly hunger made the...
