    Spaghetti noodles.... NOT lo mein noodles. This is new.  And burnt.
    Stacia N.

    If you read my previous review, these can't be any further apart for the same place. Let me start by saying I LOVE this place. Never had a bad meal, till today. If I could give it zero stars I would. Grill: Nothing was mixed as it was cooked. I watched. Result, burnt food/sauce in one glob. A glob of egg. Glob of noodles. Most of the food had zero sauce or seasoning on it resulting in zero taste, hard and dry. Not just mine. My 5 top table and every plate I saw go out from the grill and the tables around me. This was on Mother's Day! We went out to celebrate. Disappointed to say the least to try to celebrate with my kids and all leave hungry and disappointed. So bad. The chicken from the Sesame Chicken was SO dry. I spit it out to see if there were feathers or what was so dry and poking me. The sauce was good but meat itself SO dry. The egg drop soup is always a favorite here. Still good today but not very warm. Waitress: brought our drinks, said I'd you need something let me know and never saw her again. Our table was covered in plates (of food we didn't eat because of the above mentioned.) I had to flag her down for more drinks. They were out of plates when I went back to the Buffett. No surprises if they were all on everyone's tables as well. We usually pay at the table. We found our waitress leaning against the desk up front. We are usually very good tippers. Not today. Very disappointed all around after literally 15 years of going to this place in various locations. If this is the new norm, don't waist your time or money. Go somewhere else or stay home.

    What the hell kind of cake is this?!?

    Denise R. seems like a cheap bitch. Their policy on coupons is reasonable. They are for new customers; to try and get them in the door. Oh, you only got a salad, so sorry you don't understand how buffets work. Sorry your picky-ass daughter only had a salad. She could have hit the Mongolian grill 6 times for the same price. Oh well. She missed out on some good food. This is not gourmet food, we are after all talking about a buffet. With this context in mind, the food is reasonable. I have been here about a dozen times and have left full and satisfied every time. They have something for everyone, especially on crab leg night. One improvement needs to be the dessert area. Pineapples from a can, gross sheet of weird powdery cake with honey(?) and dry-ass cream puffs. I'll just stick with soft serve when I'm done, thank you.

Nice and clean restaurants with a couple of tables for eating there They deliver your food in containers so that if you can't finish- u just cover it and bring it home We ordered spring rolls, hot and sour soup and kungpao chicken for the hubby and for me - bbq pork rice noodles. Food was hot and fresh. Spring rolls were perfect. Hot and sour soup - wasn't great for me - tasted more like well-seasoned soy soup with a little pepper with a smackeribg of ingredients. It still was tasty- just now what I expect of hot and sour soup. My bbq meifun was fresh and tasty - just a tad oily for me. I've had better at some other establishments. We did bring the left overs home. And it heats up good. Kungpao chicken and the meifun both reheated pretty well. It will be one of those in the chinese rotations for us- and i will probably try something else

Happy we made the trip up north.

The Rangoons were soggy, repulsively sweet, and contained only cream cheese. I guess this is Chinese food for typically obese Nebraskas who have to have everything full of sugar.

I ordered black pepper chicken but asked if I could substitute beef for the chicken. She said no but you can have sizzling tofu and substitute beef. She explained that would be black pepper beef and that it's the same. It arrived and was a completely different dish than the black pepper chicken. She asked me how it was and I said this was not what I expected. She said it's the sizzling tofu only with beef. I said I ordered black pepper chicken only with beef. She said no we don't do that. So I said you can substitute tofu for beef but not chicken for beef? Yes, she said not for black pepper chicken. The logic was mind-boggling. I recommend ordering from the menu and don't ask for substitutions.

They dont have all drinks on the menu and the menu is not updated. They did tell us what was not available but was a generic dont have these and just slid his fingers on the menu. I finally got an iced lemon tea. We initially ordered egg rolls and a hot pot. We ordered spicy soup together with bok choy fungus( wood ear mushrooms) Beef, spam, fishballs and jumbo shrimp and egg noodles with a side of white rice. The soup came with a burner and it wasnt powerful enough to boil the soup on the pot. The pot had no definite style to it. Tasted like soy bean soup with some sichuan peppers. Not excessively spicy and not very flavourful. Our ingredients took a long while to come out- and our egg rolls eventually never came. Practically all the ingredients were frozen with the exception of the fungi and the egg noodles. The sauce station looks thrown together with takeout containers and plenty of sauce. The bbq sauce had part of a spoon which was broken off in the sauce. The sauces are similar to haidilao type just not as fresh. But the chives looked a little greyish. Overall, service is not fantastic. We did remind them multiple times about the egg rolls, but it still didn't ever arrive. They at least took it off the bill. We forgot to check about the missing bakchoy. Not sure we will be back anytime soon. Hubby wasn't quite happy with our dinner last night.

The dining room was nicely lit and spacious. The waiter came around and took our drink and food order. I had a diet Pepsi, it was completely flat, I had to ask for a can instead. We placed our order for egg rolls to start and hot pot. Spicy broth, beef, fishball, fungus, bokchoy, shrimp, egg noodle and a side of white rice. They quickly set up the gas burner for soup and perched the soup pot on top. Then came out the plate of meat and noodle and we were told they are out of bokchoy. EVERYTHING WAS FROZEN SOLID We waited awhile for the soup to boil (needed to properly cook seafood) but it never did. We tasted the soup. It was a little spicy but odd. Couldn't put my finger on it. Then adding all the frozen items even just some at a time the soup never boiled. We let it sit for a while to at least gain some heat before starting to eat. Waiter came. Asked again about rice and egg rolls. The rice came We managed to cook everything and eat. Had to flag down staff to ask for a check Egg rolls never came. But appeared on the bill as well as the bokchoy that I had to ask to be removed from the bill. I hate writing negative reviews but this was needed.
