    Buffet
    Suzan H.

    On business trip from DC decided to drive the distance from downtown Houston to try this restaurant. Expectations weren't high and got nervous when I saw a handful of cars in parking lot. Then remembered probably many Muslims will be coming for Iftar. Where is the 6th star option? This restaurant is beyond expectations impressive in every way. I feel very guilty for only paying $20 for dinner. The place is spotless, very kind friendly staff. Food is a buffet of high quality fresh tasty variety clearly made with love and pride. Houston people you are so lucky!

    I really love this Mediterranean buffet! You get to try an assortment of delicious dishes! My absolute favorite is their lamb shank! It's so tender and falls right off the bone. You have to order it from the guys at the grill and they bring it to you. My other favs: the stuffed grape leaves, lentil rice, spicy hummus, baba ganoush, beef kabo They really keep this restaurant clean as well, which I love. Someone comes by frequently to take your plates you are done with. I highly recommend this location!

    1st plate. Was so excited forgot to take additional photos of plate 2,3and 4!

    What an awesome experience! Great selection of fresh hot food! Try the rose water and tamarind water they have available. Both are delicious!! Went to Pearland location. Will try other locations soon!!

Eating them in as a roll vessel is simply well... magical. I enjoyed these and almost ordered more. The Andra chicken curry was absolutely delicious as well. I enjoyed it and was so stuffed with our other items that I had to save it and eat at home. The portions were great to share or eat for one. My kids 5&7 also enjoyed the kids menu and licked their plates clean up...a rare occurrence. Any place that has momos gets on my list to come back, especially if they are great like they were here!

The biryani packed a good amount of spice, which I personally loved. The chicken tikka masala was decent but pretty standard. The paneer dish, though, was definitely unusual and had a flavor that felt a bit off on its own, but it worked better when paired with rice. Prices were a bit on the higher side, especially for a more casual, hole in the wall kind of place. Our waitress said we should try more unique dishes next time. Overall, it's a good restaurant with an interesting, fusion menu. I'd come back to try other dishes and see what else stands out.

    I finally tried out Gurkhaas Grill and Bar today…read more I placed a pick up order for chicken curry, potato and peas samosas, and rasmalai. I pulled up directly in front of the restaurant. It's in a shopping center so there's plenty of parking even if you don't get one of the spots up front. It wasn't too busy when I arrived. I'm sure since I arrived after buffet hours. The buffet ends at 3pm but there's lots of room in the buffet area for tons of options. The restaurant is clean and pretty spacious inside. The young lady at the counter greeted me warmly and kindly rang me up for my rasmalai I added to my order upon arrival. The chicken curry was good. Not amazing or the best I ever had but I would eat it again. It came with rice. I'm always surprised when Indian restaurants charge extra for rice. The potato and peas samosas were big, crispy on the outside and nice and soft with potatoey goodness on the inside. They were absolute perfection when dipped into the tartly sweet chutney sauce. I concluded my meal with the rasmalai dessert that tasted of rose, condensed milk and pistachios. I just wished it had a little more bits of pistachio.

    When I received an invitation to celebrate a relative's bday for dinner here, I had to think back…read moreawhile to not only how long it had been since I ate at Golden Corral but just buffets period. I'm not a fan of them for several reasons but the main one being that food sitting out for anyone to cough over, touch, etc just doesnt sit well with me. But that's not the biggest issue here because the food would have to be edible and desirable first before you would be bothered by earing food people touched or coughed on. As a foodie, to not think anything was worth eating is saying alot. Much of what I saw visually was unappealing. The best part of the buffet was probably the salad bar and the fried fish and shrimp. I didn't eat a salad because I wanted my money's worth so I piled my plate with fried shrimp, fish, and jalapenos. Decent but I strive to not eat a whole plate of fried food. To help with my guilt, I saw some roasted zucchini and made a meal of it. Saving my appetite for this meal was my least favorite flex because calories count and my motto is I don't mind them counting if its worth it. This meal was not at all. Maybe a decade ago, Golden Corral had pretty good food, but even the dessert was subpar. Prime example; the ice cream machines produced soupy remnants of what could have been ice cream. Everything could have been better with a little time and attention to detail and presentation. Additionally, this location is definetly ran down and needs much TLC, but we didn't take it out on our servers, who tried to attend to our refills and need for condiments, napkins, and utensils for our party of 15 plus. Therefore we pooled together and left a generous tip but this place is neither Golden or one you want to Corral at for any meal anytime soon.

    Food: 3.8/5 Service: 5/5…read moreAmbiance: 4.5/5 Overall: 4/5 I was really excited to get to try out this place and this was a fairly good first impression. Whenever we walked in for dinner around half the tables were full of people and service was still very fast. The interior of the restaurant is nice but nothing too standout from other Chinese restaurants. We got cream cheese puffs, house spicy wide noodle soup, a chicken dish, soup dumplings, cream baos , and a fish dish, and all of it was fairly good. My least favorite was the cheese puffs, which were incredibly hot but I didn't find much very special about either the filling nor the crunchy wrapper. My next critique is their handmade noodles. It is personal preference, but I prefer my noodles to be a lot more chewy and on the more al dente side of things, rather than the more soft noodles we got (both the wide and the original noodles). As for what I liked, it was just about everything else we got. The house noodle soup was nice and comforting, not being super heavy but still carrying good flavor (I would ask for the regular version and add in spice after tasting the broth). Both the fish and chicken dishes that we got were very interesting and I especially enjoyed the lightness of the fish dish. The soup dumplings we got were very flavorful, well balanced, and had a very bouncy yet soft wrapper texture. The cream baos, though admittedly lacking some vanilla and texture consistency across each bao, were still really good and comparable to ones you'd find in Bellaire. Overall, my experience was fairly good and I would go here again if I find myself in the Pearland area.

I asked if they served any alcohol, alcoholic beverages, and was informed that they have plans to start selling alcohol within the next 3 to 4 months. I inquired if they were going to have a full barn with a bartender and was told that they plan to start slow by just selling certain alcoholic beverages initially then overtime increase the number of items that are offered. I made my order to go so I could take pictures of my food before I forgot to take pictures. It seems that currently most of their business is takeout. Takeout business is brisk. I've seen three or four while waiting for my food to be prepared. In my opinion the Saag Chicken is prepared in the Southern style, in spite of what the manager said. My food is piping, hot and delicious. The server brought me a plate and silverware when he saw me opening my dishes. He returned with a glass or water also, I love this attention to detail it can make an average experience memorable.

I'm not sure if she still works here, but the place honestly felt different without her welcoming smile and warm reception. We arrived just in time for breakfast (last Saturday) I ordered Bangsilog, while my cousin had the Tocilog. Service was fast as usual. I really enjoyed my Bangsilog--the bangus tasted fresh, perfectly fried, crispy on the outside while still tender and juicy inside. Unfortunately, my cousin's tocino was disappointing. The tocino was tough and tasted like it may have been leftover from previous day and simply reheated. Either that or it has been sitting in the kitchen for quite awhile. We still finished our meals. Because we were starving, but it definitely affected the experience. It also made us miss Hazel's customer service even more because if she had been there, we're pretty sure she would've handled the situation right away. I waited a while before writing this review because I wanted to be as fair as possible. The lady who served us was still very good, although it was obvious that the overall customer service experience was not quite at the same level as when Hazel was around. The biggest issue was really the tocino. Because of that, this latest visit to TJ's wasn't perfect and honestly made us wonder if it's still worth making this one our go-to spot whenever we're in the Houston area.
