Off of central in Kent closer to s 277th street. There was only one young person in the place with us. Two guys working the place. The owner who catered to us, and the cook. Not sure why I never heard of this place. Owner said they have been open for 3 years now. The food came out fast. We actually ordered too much we had it for three more meals at home. I think overall the food was good. Like I was telling the owner I normally drive to Canada to get Chinese food, or San Fran for dim sum. I'm pretty hard to please. But since I like to support local, I'll bring my friends here another time for lunch. The decor was minimal but nice. From the outside it looked like it was closed, and like it was a home or doctors office. It's right next to a bikini barista. So we missed it the first time. It's a brick building. The tea was really good. The perfect amount of Chinese leaves, and it was nice and hot for a cold blistery day even if it's almost spring.

Service is typical of a Chinese restaurant, and dishes took a while to come out. Dishes we tried: Ginger & Scallion Grass Fish 葱姜脆肉皖 (4.5/5 stars) - $28.99 I've never had fish that's crunchy in texture, it's al dente, almost like cartilage but not as hard. There are also basil in addition to ginger and scallion used to cook the dish, very flavorful and great with rice! Deep fried pork intestine with pickled green 肥肠炒酸菜 (4.5/5 stars) - I've never had this combo before, ans it's good! The intestine is first deep fried, then stir-fried with pickled green, which cuts down the fattiness. Yellow Eel Rice with Crispy Rice 黄鳝饭 (3.5/5 stars) - $65.99 for the small size, which is enough for 3-4 people to share. I love the cripsy rice, but it was a little burnt; the rest of the dish was bland) Garlic flavored square rib (3/5 stars) - battered is thick and crunchy, flavor is average. nothing special. I'm coming back with more people to try more dishes!

The maocai was generally fine, and had a similar taste to the old Nine Way, though the meat quality was not as good IMO. However, the appetizer dish that we got which used to be one of my favorites (the spicy garlic pork belly) was awful. I don't know if it was just because it was frozen and thawed or something went wrong with the cooking or maybe it was just raw, but the fat on the pork belly was extremely mushy and honestly had the texture of wax or something. It was truly disgusting and I ended up just having to spit it out. Would not come back here--unfortunately even Noodle Nine is far better than this.

Regarding the origin of the buffet, the most widely circulated theory is linked to the Viking…read morepirates of Northern Europe during the 8th to 11th centuries. · Nordic Viking Era (8th-11th century): To save trouble, the Vikings simply laid out food for everyone to take on their own. This custom was preserved in Sweden and gradually evolved into the Smörgåsbord (Scandinavian cold buffet), which is the direct and continuous ancestor of the modern buffet. · France (18th-19th century): The French adopted the word "Buffet" (originally meaning a sideboard or serving table) to describe this self‑service style of dining and promoted it among high society. · Perfection in Japan: The modern buffet model we know today--featuring cold dishes, hot dishes, desserts, and a wide variety of options--was established by the Imperial Hotel Tokyo in 1958. · Las Vegas: The now‑popular "all‑you‑can‑eat" model originated in Las Vegas, USA, in the 1940s. Casinos offered cheap or even free buffets to keep gamblers on the premises, a strategy that quickly became widespread. · Introduction to China: The buffet was introduced to China in the 1930s, initially appearing only in foreign‑funded hotels. It was not until the late 1980s that it reached the general public through tourist joint‑venture hotels. Here's the English translation of your review: Ambience: This buffet restaurant seems to have been around for a long time. You can tell it was quite luxurious about 10 years ago. Relatively speaking, it's still fairly clean. Taste: There is a huge variety of options, covering dozens of items including Chinese stir-fried dishes, Western food, Japanese cuisine, teppanyaki, fruit, seafood, salad, as well as drinks and ice cream. I mainly tried the Chinese stir-fried dishes, boiled shrimp, and teppanyaki. Considering the price per person, I think every item met my expectations. Service - unexpectedly good: From asking how many people in our party at the entrance, to guiding us to a table and asking if the seat was comfortable, to explaining the dining process, and clearing plates during the meal - all of it was very good. Room for improvement: Some of the items are pre-made dishes that only need simple deep-frying or grilling. Pre-made dishes can be categorized into a few types: easy to cook, easy to eat, easy to heat. Based on my experience in the industry, the essence of pre-made dishes is really an issue of trust. If the selection is done properly and customers don't experience any adverse reactions after eating, then it's a good business.

Sans Woks did some things very well and other not as good, but as long as you stuck with the items you like, it was an overall solid spot.

On my first visit the portion was generous and the flavor was OK. The Hot and Sour was not the same, but I liked the Orange Chicken more. However, as I returned, portions got smaller, flavor got weaker and the chef ignored my requests for more heat and more seasoning. The last couple visits the food was flat out terrible and I now refuse to return. Unless they make significant changes, I don't see them remaining open.
