Although the food was excellent, we had a very unfortunate experience representative of racial segregation and pretty much overt bigotry. An effort was made to seat us on a particular side, where we later noticed consisted of all racial minorities whereas the side we requested to sit consisted of only Caucasian people. A female server consistently had a disgusted look on her face every time she came to our table from the onset of bringing our drinks. She tried to rush me out the door, watched us beyond closely, and clearly listened to our private conversations, once coming to ask if we needed a fork after my nephew mentioned his fork was taken with the plates after his second trip and he needed to go up front to seek another, though she waited until he walked to the front to come ask if he needed a fork as if she already knew what the matter was. She kept coming to ask me if i was okay after I made my second and third trip to the food area, clearly trying to hurry me / us along. She brought me the bill early and requested payment as I was going for dessert and not finished yet, by saying I had to pay her there and not at the front, where we watched everyone else pay. She approached my wife about the bill while I was getting dessert, then confronted me about a tip by pointing to the receipt, clearly ignorant of the fact I had cash in hand to leave for her. When I told her I wasn't finished eating yet and she was trying to rush me out the door, she stormed off. She approached NO ONE else in our area about payment before we left and they were all Caucasian. The food itself warrants another potential trip, but, the treatment was so bad that I would suggest that anyone with thin skin or who is sensitive to racism...
Read moreI am trying so hard, so very hard in order to figure out why this place has such a high rating from all the reviews it has gotten. Since moving out to Washington and seeing how this is the only Chinese buffet, and me being a fat man and loving buffets, decided to try it out. My first time going was decent. It's gotten better, it's gotten worse. The food is decent at best. If you are looking for the usual suspects when it comes to Chinese buffet, they have everything here. With the hibachi grill, it's come to a point that the only time you get 'good' customer service out of them is either being a woman or giving them a tip. I base tipping, as most people do, based upon customer service. There has been numerous times I've gone up with a regular size plate, not loaded or anything, and had the coldest shoulder ever. My roommate decided to give a tip before hand to test something, and he got the best customer service in the world from them. The place is tattered and run down, some of the upholstery is ripped at various spots. You get a few flies during your meal and just this past night, our waitress didn't just rush our bill, but when our cups were about half empty, came over with one cup and filled our cups from it. Not a pitcher, but a cup which is highly unsanitary. They have a monopoly on the area as they are the only Chinese buffet in town, that I know of, and I'm greatly appalled about this place anymore. If you want a good Chinese "buffet" say a few extra bucks and go down the...
Read moreBeing a new couple in the area, we were looking for a restaurant that could be one of our regulars. We stumbled upon this place and decided to give it a go , sadly it will not be making the cut. The pricing was very fair around $12 each , the restaurant appeared to be very clean, busy , typical restaurant vibe for a Saturday evening but where it failed us was the food. There were plenty options and some of them were just fine! But my poor boyfriend just kept getting things that were awful (it wasn't him being a pickey eater, this man will eat basically anything) , the mac and cheese was just plain disgusting, the pasta was passed its expiration, the fried chicken that he got, had a long hair on it, like stuck to the batter. The crawfish (which is one of his favorite dishes) was stone cold, full of water and had the texture of Styrofoam and lastly the stuffed shrimp was the worst thing I have ever smelled, it was fishy mixed with gym shoes and decay. We both work in the restaurant business , so we understand it could have just been an off night but after both of us feeling sick all last night and today, we are not willing to risk going here again. We are giving two stars because somethings were good (green beans, honey chicken, the cheesy spinach) and the server was very kind...
