Yun Long Buffet — Restaurant in Waveland

Food is never amazing, but never bad either, in generally there are a few items I really enjoy, while others I've found consistently sub par. This restaurant has been here for a long time, I've come here for over a decade now.

It seems more than anything the chef has lost enthusiasm about their work, while the food is never bad, its rarely above average these days. Fried rice is consistently undercooked and mushy lacking any crisp texture, crab ragoons are oddly folded, and mostly filled with just cream cheese. Coconut shrimp is far too sweet to be enjoyed, butterfly shrimp is frequently soggy, even though deep fried (even when very fresh).

Lo mein consistently lacks flavor, while also still being fairly decent. I really enjoy the eggroles however, in general the food just lacks flavor/intense flavors and comes off as bland-ish or excessively sweet to the point where you can't eat more than a very small serving due to how rich/sugary it is.

I come back because it's close, and it's relatively affordable. My recommendations would be to cut back on the total number of options, while spending that time on improving the more popular items.

There is so many options, to the point where it feels there isn't any particular one they really do very...

I was So Pleased to stumble upon a place in 2025 that makes The Proper Origional, Bright Red THICK Cranberry-Orange Sweet-n-Sour sauce-made the OLD SKOOL way, that nobody makes right anymore !

Many people dont know it, but most Sweet-n-Sour sauce you find in 2025 at most Chinese Restaurants and buffets is Not The Same as it was in the 80's & 90's... most places in 2025 its runny, clear, not that sweet, and tastes like Apricots ... like "duck" sauce ...

& I can Tell you because I worked at one of the first Chinese places around back in the 80's, & Back in the day, 35-40 years ago, Sweet-n-Sour Sauce was very THICK, and sweet, Bright Red, and had that Perfect Bite between Cranberrys & Oranges ... and it was Very Very Time consuming & Super Expensive to make because they used all Fresh Oranges and Cranberries and Giant 50 pound bags of Real Cane sugar...

but Im Here to Tell you that YUN LONG Makes The Actual Proper OLD SKOOL Thick Red Sweet n sour Sauce EXACTLY the Way it was Origionally made ..back in the day. and it is Soo Perfect & Delicious and brought back soo many memories...

Thankyou Yun Long for Taking The Time in 2025 to make REAL Red Sweet-n-Sour sauce it the way it is suppose to be made.

It is Truly...

I had service dog and they greeted my dog as well as a as we were received, and I was grateful because they were others that was offended by him, but my dog is like my kid and he’s very clean. He’s very very well mannered and it didn’t matter what they said they treated Billy you know he sat right there at the table with us and I don’t know how people feel about that but you know my dog is I love my dog and I would I would die for my Dog, but they were great. The food was good. Service was good places was clean whatever that you can do to help their business would be...
