    Can not believe how many good reviews this place got! Awful, awful, awful! Rice tasted like salted soy sauce, sweet & sour pork was tough, as was General tso chicken. Dumplings were tasteless, dipping sauce was salt water! Can't believe what I paid for this shit. Do yourself a favor, eat ANYWHERE else!

    Hot and Sour Soup! It's awesome!  Just enough spices!

    This place was Awesome! Great Food! A wide variety and selection of great food! Food is hot and fresh. Very flavorful and tasty! Staff kept buffet full and clean. Friendly staff! Plenty of seating and nice ambiance. Will definitely be back. Loved the Hot and Sour Soup. It was just one of my many favorites!

    I deliver tea and coffee to these guys and have for years. I've never actually eaten here before though due to timing of when I get there. I finally had a chance to stop and enjoy their lunch buffet and I wasn't disappointed. The building itself is really pretty and scenic. It's large and open and helps you feel very welcome. They have some fish tanks which is fun for the kids to look at. They have a huge selection of food for the lunch buffet. I hear the dinner buffet has a lot more sea food options which is something I may consider later. The food is really fresh, especially if you come either at 11am or 4pm. Those hours have the freshest food. Come here and leave satisfied. Easily the best Chinese buffet in central texas.

    I actually rate this as a 3 1/2 star. But I round up because it is higher than a 3 star. I am always a bit leery of all you can restaurants, but even more so of Chinese all you can eat. I have had some bad experiences. We went to Dynasty by request of the birthday gal. It was actually good. Staff were very friendly. The cream cheese fried wontons were my favorites. The shrimp fried rice and broccoli n' chicken were also my favorite. All in all, the food was pretty good. I will visit again if I am in the area. Our waitress recommended trying a Chinese wine. I do not remember the name and cannot seem to find it on their menu. It was a very good, semi-sweet white wine. But be careful, it is a very strong wine. One glass you will be okay, but two and you need a driver. This is a family friendly, friends, and dates kinda place.

The cheese puffs were ok, I wouldn't order them again. The egg roll was a little better. Fresh, crunchy and good flavor. The dipping sauce, not so good. The shrimp were super over cooked.

The kitchen was gracious enough to split it into 2 bowls since we were sharing. And we still had leftovers! I wish we had more sprouts and cilantro on the side. I added Hoisin, soy sauce, and Sriracha. My mom added Jalapeños and Sriracha. Pretty good flavor when we added the sauces. The chicken wasn't the best quality, lots of fat that wasn't trimmed off. The cheese puffs were 2 stars. Nice crunch but simple. They are like crab rangoon minus the crab.

He has been going here weekly for the past few years. He is a dedicated and loyal En Fu Fan. He always says the same thing - that it's consistently good here. And he usually gets the same thing - fried rice + noodles + teriyaki chicken (a staple) and mixes it up with another chicken dish. He's never complained about this place or their food. Always good. So after a few years we finally got the itch to try it with him, and En Fu came through. I got the same as his dish, plus added veggies (streamed / stir-fry cabbage) on the side. The teriyaki chicken is really good here - I could eat more than I should with that stuff. The fried rice tastes great - they do it right here, not over-soy-sauced at all. The noodles are good too, they are not too salty or sweet or over-sauced like some places - they are really good, and mixes well with the fried rice. We usually get 2 meat dishes + half fried rice and half noodles and it comes to less than 9 bucks, and I think that's pretty good. Bama DC got us all hooked now and we go every week. Hot diggity damn, it's all good in the En Fu Hood.

    For reasons I still cannot fully explain, Temple has developed a remarkably strong culinary scene…read more Italian, Mexican, and Thai cuisines are represented there with a level of quality, flavor, and aesthetic presentation that consistently exceeds expectations. I have previously written reviews about Pignetti's and Las Marias. Today, while driving back from Houston to Abilene, I stopped at Thai Café in downtown Temple. What an experience. Moni handled my order, and within minutes, my food was ready. I ordered the summer rolls and the crab noodle soup. The rolls, at first glance, resemble the standard versions you might find at HEB, Kroger, or similar grocery stores. However, what these very thoughtful chefs have done is elevate the dish with a distinctive dipping sauce and the addition of fresh basil, which transforms the rolls into something vibrant and unexpectedly complex. The flavors truly open up in a way that feels intentional and refined. But the real highlight was the crab noodle soup. It made my entire day. Thai Café is about three hours from my home, and I would genuinely consider making that drive on a Sunday just for this bowl of soup. The portion was generous, with abundant crab and noodles, and the broth was rich, layered, and deeply satisfying. I ordered it mild, but to my palate it was not spicy at all. Next time, I will not hesitate to ask for the full heat. If you find yourself in Temple, Thai Café is not optional. It is essential.

I got the…read morepineapple fried rice this time, and I did enjoy it much more than the pad kee mao or pad Thai. It was fragrant and had good flavour. My friend got steamed vegetables with rice, and the vegetables were unappetizing and bland. We got the mango sticky rice for dessert, which I am normally a big fan of. This one was coloured green, which already threw us off as it looked radioactive or poisonous. The taste was not great either. I've had a lot of mango sticky rice, and this was probably my least favourite of them all. Service wise, our server was friendly but forgetful. She gave us one bill for our table, which we didn't expect because we were evidently three friends, and usually the norm would be to split checks. I didn't see any signs or note in the menu that they don't split checks, so we all thought it was bizarre that she just brought one bill for the table. This is a nice place to sit and chat with friends though as there is plenty of seating and a warm ambience.
