    Food was great! (Service was iffy, will speak on that in a moment) The food tasted so good. Reminded me of my favorite Chinese buffet from back home that shut down many many years ago. Since then I've been searching for one that even remotely meets the standards it set. And I'm happy to say I found it! Fresh food. Hot food. Flavorful food. Wide variety of food. Yes, amazing. 10/10 for food. Service was questionable. It wasn't very busy at the time we went. Maybe 6 tables max. We ordered our drinks when brought to our table - per usual, and it took about 8 minutes for 2 sodas to come out. No big deal, we were getting food anyway. But then halfway through our meal we needed a refill and 3 different people walked right past us. I even smiled and waved for someone to come over to us and they walked away. Someone came to pick up an empty plate from the person I was eating with and I asked for a refill and they never brought it. Finally the same woman came back 5 minutes later asking if I wanted a refill. So I went a good 10 minutes with no drink. Then they brought our check and from what we noticed from everyone else, we put our card down and they grab it and bring the receipt. That didn't happen. We waited another 10 minutes for someone to come grab our check & card and we just kept getting ignored. They walked past us again and again. Even after we signaled for them. At one point I saw 3 people just standing around talking by the cash registers while we had been sitting there waiting and waiting. Finally we gave up and decided to bring it to the front where I can only assume the manager/man in charge was up there because our waitress tried to intercept us and stop us from going up there but we politely walked past her and handed him the check. We saw him look at the woman when he saw she was the server and she stood there looking... embarrassed? We paid and he asked how the service was. I personally wasn't going to say anything negative but the person I was with raved about the food but said the service could have been better. Anyway, like I said, they weren't even halfway full at the time and were frequently just standing around, yet we had to wait over 10 min for a refill and over 10 min (before giving up) to pay for our food. BUT THE FOOD IS AMAZING. So I'll be back anyway lol. Maybe it was a bad day. I don't know. But food that good in a nice, quiet, beautiful Asian buffet style restaurant doesn't come around often, so I'll put up with slow service for great food.

    Beware of the price change! The sign on the door lists the price for the dinner buffet $13.49-$14.49 depending on the day. When we got the check, we were surprised to see that that charged us $16.49 per person. When I asked them about it, they pointed to a piece of paper taped to the window. In tiny print at the bottom, it said Friday and Saturday buffet $16.49. I wouldn't have been so upset if the food had been good, but it was pretty bad. They had a decent selection and variety, but everything was cold and bland. Definitely not worth the price, and I would not go back.

    Food and service was good, but I wish they had their own yelp page instead of keeping the old one…read more Their old store was called Mei Wei and it was in Carrollton. They had bento boxes and dessert similar to Meet Fresh, and it was more of a casual, hang out spot. This new store is next to Ztao and they are more of a sit in restaurant. Their menu was short and when I asked if they had bento boxes, the waitress didn't really understand my question. Their menu consisted of.. 1. Main Entree $14.99 that came with rice, noodles, or congee 2. Soup $3.99 three options 3. Sides $4.99 several options No dessert menu, only a little stand on the table with taro pudding that costed $8.95. We ordered their braised pork chop, daikon meatball soup, and pig ears. Like I mentioned, food was good, but nothing special. You can only order the side and soup if you order one of the main entrees. This new store is nothing like their old store, just fyi.

    We went around 12:30pm and there were people waiting. The lady that checked us in said it was a 30…read moreminute wait with 2 parties ahead of us. As we were waiting, we noticed that 4-5 tables were done eating and paid their bills. All got up and left, the staff quickly cleaned the tables. The cleaned tables were empty for another 15 minutes. The lady that took our names down took a while to call the next customers. Seems like we were waiting just to wait...she sat one party down and waited another 10 minute to sit the next group... anyways, after we waited for a good 40 minutes, we were finally called to be seated. Sat down and was immediately served with water and took our order down. Time for the food review: Chicken popcorn - nice crisp and texture, but lacking flavor. Felt like it needed a dipping sauce. Pork lard rice - disappointing, bland Pork intestine with green mustard - this dish was okay.. Crispy garlic salted fish - fish was nicely fried and flavor was good. Probably the best dish so far Crispy pork chop - this is the reason why we came here.. we wanted to find a dish like May Ice cream. Unfortunately, this was a huge disappointment. The pork chop was extremely salted. From the skin to the pork itself. Walnut shrimp - this dish was foul. Who puts sprinkles on the side?! Tasted like I was eating an ice cream shop. The shrimp was also dry. Overall, not worth going and waiting. Food was lacking.

    The customer service here is so friendly and sweet, you feel welcome from the moment you walk in…read more My fiancé and I grabbed a booth this time, but I couldn't help noticing the tables with giant lazy Susans throughout the dining room. This place is absolutely made for a group outing, and we're already planning to come back with a group to take full advantage. The food was a delight. The Singapore noodles had this wonderful curry flavor that I absolutely loved, and the combo fried rice was just as satisfying. We also ordered the Peking duck (P1 on the menu). It was good, though not quite as flavorful on its own as we'd hoped. That said, once you load it up with the hoisin, cucumber, and spring onions, it all comes together beautifully. The bao buns that came with it were soft and delicious, honestly a highlight. We also sipped on hot jasmine tea throughout, which was the perfect, refreshing complement to the whole meal. A solid spot with great vibes, tasty dishes, and room to grow on us even more with a return visit.

    I love malatang and found this place in Carrollton to try. It's kind of tucked in a smaller…read moreshopping block, but it's there and open for business. It's a self service restaurant, but enough tables to also sit down and eat. The staff was really kind and helped me throughout the entire night, guiding me through the process. It's similar to other malatang places, where you pick your own ingredients. The only thing is any meats you'd want is already in a smaller bag on the side, with a fixed weight. I'm assuming it's for sanitary reasons. The per pound price is a bit higher, but it's justified- the flavor of the stir fry was really flavorful, all the ingredients are very fresh. They also give you a loyalty card where you can get free items if you order X amount of times.

    The options are very limiting, and their sauce bar is a disappointment. There were very few meat…read moreoptions. I got quail egg, beef in a bag, squid, shrimp, and sausage. Sadly there was no lamb. The sauce bar only had soy sauce and white vinegar. If I want a build your bowl hotpot, yin tang has way more options and they don't have a 1 lb minimum, and they have sauce options. They had many noodle options, but no low carb noodles. No shirataki knots, sadly. I'm doing keto, so this was disappointing because yin tang has shirataki knots. I got spicy level 1. The soup tasted good and I liked what I added to my soup. The sauce bar was extremely disappointing.
