    clean, fresh food, excellent service, we often go to buffets all over America, rarely do they serve well, here the service is excellent, the music is quiet, we recommend.

    He was just standing there and our drinks were empty.

    They really need to improve on the Service. We got seated and 3 employees were standing by the drink station one was going around filling drinks off and on. We were sitting there waiting to be asked what we would like to drink and no one was coming. It was about 20 min. Still no one and my mother in law asked if we could please get some drinks. That is the only time they would come over is if we asked for a drink and refills. The Female was walking around refilling other people's drinks and was looking at our drinks and walked by. This always happens when we go to this location. When my mother in law asked for the drinks she did not respond and walked to the drink station and came back with our drinks about 5 minutes later and my mother in law asked for straws and she walked away to another table and again did not say anything. We had to ask for refills and that was the only time we got refills. We did not want to ask again. I wish I got a picture of all 3 of them standing there and they would glance at our table and did nothing. I was able to get one picture.

    This great moon is way better than the one on white bear. The food quality here is better also. They have the Mongolian bbq here. I actually think their Mongolian bbq is better than khans. The noodles for the Mongolian BBQ is the round not square like noodles. Fried chicken here is also good. I usually make a sauce with the dumpling sauce and chili oil to dip in. If you looking for sushi here there's not much to choose from. It's just the simple rolls they have. Price is just as any other buffets. Only thing is I say that sucks is some of the people that dine there tend to be messy and have their kids running around like it's their house. Other than that, this is my go to buffet on the west side.

    Crayfishes
    Nou C.

    I wanted to pick a few trays for dinner and ordered the crayfishes, lo mein, and shrimp fried rice. The person who picked up the phone was friendly, patient, and helpful. It took about 20-25 minutes for the order to be ready. These are 1/2 tray orders for reasonable pricing. The portion were also generous and filled above the tray line. Crayfishes - I would not order these again. I love eating crayfishes; however, these fell short in my expectations. The tray did not have a consistent flavor; wasn't spicy, juicy, and seasoned. Some were saltier than others. The following I would buy again: Lo Mein- for $25, this is a great deal. This tasted fine. Shrimp fried rice - this tray only have a handful of the small shrimp. This also tasted fine. Services - it was quick and easy. I was offered a drink as I wait (which wasn't long) for the food. They also helped carry out the trays for me.

    $33 for two people. Service tonight was good-our server refilled our beverages & pre-bussed our table in a timely manner. I had four plates of the blue crab (don't worry, I'm not one of those hog 2/3 of the tray when it comes out) kinda diner. They were fresh & oh so salty like I like em. The food was fairly fresh & better quality than a lot of buffets out there, full of MSG & food coma inducing as all buffets are. But, that's what you go to a buffet for right? To indulge in your greasy guilty unauthentic Asian food pleasures lol. The mangos were perfectly ripe; I probably had a whole one. Will go back for sure.

    The restaurant was packed & very busy! Apparently everyone loves it here. Our experience was good…read more Since it was so busy, some food was not replenished as quickly as we hoped and they ran out of many things. I was not a fan of the cream cheese wontons, as the outside used was too thick. The servers were quick and accommodating to our drink requests & cleaning up our finished plates. Beverages are included which was nice. I love getting hot tea. The restaurant was clean & well taken care of. They even have a waterfall with a pond with real fish in it, my little brother loved this. We would definitely come back.

You pay when you first arrive with cash or card (they only take visa and mastercard). Note that if you pay with a card and add a tip, they will just give you cash from the register for the tip amount to leave at your table when you leave. I would bring cash to tip your server with at your table. After paying, you can seat yourself anywhere and a server will come by and take your beverage order. The buffet includes unlimited soft drinks, drip coffee, and hot tea. Their Dr. Pepper is extra syrupy compared to normal fountain drinks, would recommend! Throughout the meal, the server will clear your empty plates and at the end of the meal they will drop off fortune cookies and towelettes. Crab days are Sunday, Monday, Wednesday, and Fridays. During these days they serve lil crabs. There is also a build your own noodle station where you can choose your mix-ins and sauces, and they'll fry it up for you. The fried rice is solid and the garlic toast is shockingly really good. Food is pretty fresh and warm, and there are people constantly refilling trays and cleaning the buffet.

    Baldamar is a beautiful restaurant! I've had take-out a couple of times (the burger is worth it!)…read moreand finally dined in recently. We started with the Brussels sprouts, which are flavorful and crispy. For entrees, we tried the short rib (melts in your mouth) and had to get the burger (decadent + delicious). Our server was very attentive and multiple friendly people working there made it a positive experience overall!

    We ate at Baldamar for lunch. It has been a long time since I've been over in Roseville so I was…read moresurprised when we rolled up to find such a large building in the parking lot of the mall. The restaurant itself is really beautiful and it's also very big. I guessed 200 seats plus patio. The space is very elegant, and clearly a lot of attention went into the design. I would describe it as kind of modern steakhouse vibe. Dark wood, faux fur and leather finishes, etc. Elegant. We were seated at a booth by the bar with a big window view of the patio and parking lot. We were immediately slightly offput because the marble ledge separating the booth from the window was dirty - grease and little food crumbs. Not the best first impression. The booth and table were both clean though. Our waitress, Ash, did provide good service but I would say honestly she was a bit too attentive if that makes sense, and she was also too chatty for us. There were several times when she lingered at our table to tell us something we didn't inquire about or to just talk about something. It was a bit annoying honestly. But the service itself was good. We were also visited by a manager during our visit. We each got a mocktail (it was lunch) but they have an impressive drink menu. I got the Red Rose which was really tasty, and my husband got the pineapple drink, which he also said was good. -We ordered the chimichuri shrimp appetizer, which was pretty banging. Four really large shrimp, each on its own piece of bruschetta, doused in chimichuri sauce. Even for me, with a low spice tolerance, it was just the right amount of spice and it was really really good. -We also got a round of oysters. The oysters themselves were fresh - no complaints there. When they were delivered to our table, the person did not tell us which variety was which (pretty standard when serving oysters at any restaurant). Because we eat oysters a lot and one of the varieties was sweet petite, it was fairly easy to tell which was which. But in my opinion, there should have been information given when the oysters were served. The other big issue was the shucking. Some of the oysters hadn't been fully separated from the shell, and we both found ourselves picking bits of shell from our mouths. We actually had a little discussion about the $6 price tag. I felt it was reasonable, my husband felt it was high. But for $6 apiece, the oysters need to be shucked properly and these were not. Ash also made a point to tell us all kinds of information we didn't ask for about their happy hour, which includes $3 oysters. That would be a steal if they learn how to shuck them. -I got the half french dip sandwich, and I was really glad I just ordered the half because what I was served was totally a whole sandwich in my book. The accompanying fries were delicious, crispy, deep golden brown and hot. The au jus served with the sandwich was slightly on the salty side but not terrible. And I do realize it's au jus. In all it was a pretty decent sandwich. -Hubby got the sea bass sandwich, which was also pretty tasty. I'll be honest and say that I think the entree sea bass would have been better. The fish was so good that I don't honestly think you needed the bun. But it was really good and fresh and delicious. We skipped dessert. In all, a pretty solid dining experience and the food was very good. But it was the minor things mentioned that bothered us, so 3 stars with room for improvement upon our return.

    My lady took me here for date night and it was quite the let down. She tried making reservations…read moreonline and there was some issues so she called in and said we would be there between 745-8 and they said they could accommodate us. What we didnt know at the time was that they closed at 830. I believe this was a big part of what went wrong that night. At Bullvinos, you pay one fee and you get salad bar access and they come to your table with cuts meat until you're full. So many things went wrong this night. The waiter came over and asked what we wanted to drink, we asked for water and he poured us water from a bottle and he never came back to the table after that. We didnt know that the water cost money until someone later asked if we wanted another bottle or just tap water and the bottle was on the bill. They usually bring over bread and mashed potatoes and after being there a while, I had to ask for this and the bread wasnt fresh. The salad bar was closing shortly after we got there and staff made an announcement "the salad bar will be closing in 5 minutes so if you want something, go get it". I understood, but it just came off rude. They did come over with the meat very quickly, like almost lining up at our table and thats when I checked to see what time they closed. They didnt technically rush us and they asked if we had any requests for meat before they closed. For this type of restaurant, you probably want to have more than 30 minutes and I wish they had mentioned it over the phone when we called. I only had cuts of meat and it was all pretty good, didn't really get a chance for the salad bar though. For my first time there, this was a terrible experience and I had high hopes for them.

    It was my niece birthday and she wanted steak. I suggested all you can eat, then she can try…read moremultiple kinds of grilled meat. She said yes and we ended up at Bullvino. Restaurant is located next to CHS stadium, once you walk inside you'll see the big bull statue. There's a host station to check in. Take the stairs to go up towards the restaurant, once upstairs you'll see the big salad station. There's a variety of fruits, pasta salad, sauces, etc. I was happy to see they have the asian spicy sauce for the steaks. The servers will walk around with grilled meats. Each table will have a card to place on your table. Red side means no more meat and green side says more please. Don't forget every table gets unlimited cheese bread, plantain, and another breadstick. We left super full, definitely check them out for the experience.

It's apart of the…read morestrip mall full of many choices like Home Goods, Elite Nails, Anytime Fitness, Johns Tailors and so much more. On the bus line, and near the locals "shopping center" we found this option by googling "buffets near me." We walked in to a woman sitting on her phone, we weren't greeted but she said "how many" as if she was annoyed, and continued to stay on her phone. My father stated "2" and she stood up, quoted the price of around $25 and tossed the table "reservation" sign at us (it mentions not to waste and to ask for help if needed) Now that we've been standing here for about two minutes, she still hasn't made eye contact with us. I chuckled in frustration and walked away, because I absolutely HATE terrible customer service. At this moment she looks up with slight concern on her face, because- excuse my French- she knew she had us f***** up. If it were up to me, we would have turned around and left but I was with my father and I bit my tongue. They didn't deserve our support. The way she carelessly tossed the sign across the less than 12 inch counter replays in my mind, and I think of a multitude of ways I could karate chop her in her throat (not really, but a girl can dream.. right?) We seated ourselves in the last booth near the restrooms, which was perfect because I was disgusted at the sight of the cashier. The young lady who cleaned our tables did a great job at smiling and being prompt. Kudos to her, she's the best. My dad and I had a really great time, trying new things and suggesting things to one another. The food was OK. I loved the clams and they have a good selection for anyone on a pescatarian diet, like myself. For the first time in a long time, I treated myself to a little desert to sweeten up the sour experience I had walking in. Ice cream with sprinkles will bring the kid out in you. If you read any of my reviews, very rarely do I have this disposition. I really want to make sure you understand how unkind our initial interaction was and how displeased I was that we stayed after being treated in such a manner. However, I can not deny that I was pleased with the menu, and finding some foods that cater to my diet. (Not many, but some) Would I go again? Maybe I'd give them another shot. I enjoyed spending time with my dad, the meatless options they had, and how the entire restaurant is self serve. 1 Star for location, 1 Star for food and 1 Star for the waitress who gathered our plates.

The person who checked us in was unfortunately not. She gave us the feeling that we were bothering her by bringing our business to her. Overall if you are wanting some all you can eat Chinese food and your shopping in that mall then you should stop in. I would not recommend driving a distance to come here though
