I guess they were done making sushi. I didn't get anything. It looked a little dry. But the salt and pepper crab made up for everything. 20 minutes before closing one of the employees sat over by our booth. Hacking up a lung listening to his phone, sitting in the next booth to us. There was plenty of other places he could've sat. So we didn't have to hear him and his bodily functions. I just kind of felt it was kind of rude and gross. But the young lady, that was the cashier, and she was so sweet. We'll probably go again but it won't be at 8 o'clock. That's for sure.

Sushi had a sourness to it that I couldn't place. Dungeness crab was mealy and wouldn't pull from the shell which was odd as all the meat seemed to have shrunk away from the shell. The shrimp was overcooked and not good. Lo mein, skewered chicken, and spicy chicken all seemed bland. My last bite was a piece of tuna nigiri that felt chewy and I suddenly didn't want any more food. It's now dinner time, my stomach is still roiling and I have no interest in the dinner my wife cooked. I am afraid I will be praying to the porcelain god before this day is done.

Now, I have traveled a bit, so I have tried lots of different styles of grilling. I have also been fortunate enough to have had friends who know their way around a smoker. In short, I have a pretty experienced bbq pallette. Is Longhorn the best I have had? Well, no. BUT they are pretty good. I really love the decor at the Valley location. And all the employees are hardworking and friendly. One of the things I am most impressed with is the prices. Bbq is labor intensive, time consuming, just expensive to do in a commercial capacity, especially with the skyrocketing cost of food. Yet Longhorn's prices don't seem to reflect that. With the quality of food, variety, and the portion sizes, I would have expected to pay more. They also do a nice salad bar, and currently have all you can eat nights that are well stocked with all the good stuff. Last point. I consider myself a chili master, perfecting my recipe over a couple of decades. While my chili is still better, Longhorns is pretty damn good. So if you are in the Valley and want solid BBQ for a fair price, Longhorn won't steer you wrong.

I like Longhorn. The menu is good, and the prices fair. Our server was good, fast and friendly…read more When the check came there were several charges on it that surprised us: Charge for sour cream (when told it was included) charge for cheddar cheese, and charged for cranberry juice that was in a vodka/cran on the happy hour. Not sure how you make one without it! Asked to speak to the manager (Shelley) about it, and as she walked to the table I already knew it was not going to go well. She blamed the waitress (she was new) blamed the owners (they changed things) she blamed the economy. Never took responsibility, never was slightly nice, and was really belligerent. We just wanted to communicate if you are going to charge for additional items, just inform the customer. So won't be in a hurry to go back. I encourage owners to hire people with the right attitude for the job!

I find the Canaan Buffet to be a wonderful place to relax and eat a great meal individually, or with your family. there is also a clown that makes figures of all kinds of things that the children can injoy. Tony and Susan are terrific owners and the family of employees make the Canaan Buffet truely a family affair.Great food, awsome atmosphere, come on in and tell Tony and Susan, Joe from Operation Dog Tag says hello.

Bummer, went to have lunch today, Aug. 13th, 2025. Found the place PERMANATELY CLOSED. We have been a keen supporter of this place for YEARS...Now they closed with no warning, NONE...And they ask us to support their food market on Francis. Well I can tell them to stick it where it hurts.......Support them when they kick us in the mouth, literally, forget them and their market. Spokane has three other Asian markets that are superior in every way. Do not shop this retailer, as they will stab you in the back as soon as they get the chance. read more

They had a menu of the sauces on the wall above along with a "recipe" various styles of meals so you can choose the flavors you want and how much you should add of each. I added a few different ones leaning toward the sweet versus the savory. You can also add a bowl of white sticky rice on the side to supplement the dish. They had hard ciders available as well.

You pick out your bowl size, it ranges from Little Kahn to Barbarian Kahn and all you can eat. The "buffet" area is lined with noodles, assorted vegatables, assorted meats, other condiments, and at the end you decide what sauces you want in your bowl. They do have guidelines, but it's really all about what you want. Then you drop your bowl and they cook it on a huge cast iron grill. I don't opt for the AYCE option, since I don't think I make it worth it. It's a popular place for the military, as it's close to Fairchild AFB and I believe they also give a military discount.
