The place is definitely older but everything was clean and comfortable. We were sat right away and asked for our drink orders. Drinks came back to us within a minute or two and then our waiter (probably the owner as well) took our app orders. We ordered the Kimbap and and a Kimchi pancake. A few minutes passed and the sweet older lady brought out our Kimbap and WOW was it amazing! Warm, fresh, and oh so delicious. The best I have ever had! Then we got the kimchi pancake and again wow! Hot, crispy and so, so tasty! And lastly we ordered the Bulgogi Jeon Gol Hot Pot! It arrived to the table bubbling and steaming and smelling so yummy! We started to dig in and there was sooo much meat and veggies and the glass noodles were just perfect! We ate until we could not eat anymore. I wish we lived closer because we'd go back over and over again especially with the cheap prices but we will definitely try to return when back in Longview! GO EAT HERE!

Excellent quality and affordable prices! If you're from Longview you'll know immediately that the…read morebuilding is/was the old Steak & Ale location. Other than a panda themed mural on one of the walls it still has all of the Steak and Ale fixtures; it's almost like walking into a confusing, nostalgic memory. They have an excellent variety of choices on the steam tables and each dish (at least the ones my family and I have had) is cooked to deliciousness. You don't go to Hupei for an Asian visual experience, you go to Hupei for the fusion of food and flavors. No one should walk away hungry. One thing that I really like about the restaurant is the buffet area. I tend to avoid most buffet restaurants because of other patrons and their questionable buffet hygiene and habits; leading my buffet concerns are patrons with children that they let run amuck disturbing other patrons while thinking that it's OK to play with the food on the serving lines. However, at Hupei we have *not* observed this behavior; they usually have at least one if not two members of staff in the direct buffet area to prevent that exact scenario from happening. I wish other buffets would do that! The worst thing I've witnessed at Hupei wasn't related with the restaurant itself, it was customers forgetting they were in a public place. The public doesn't need to hear someone else's movie, youtube, or any other media on full volume; nor does the public need to hear your phone call conversations on full volume.

The food was good. We got our plates and sat down to eat. I got choked towards the middle of my…read moremeal. I told my husband that I wanted to take the rest of my plate home, please get me a "take-home" tray. He went to get one. I am 71 years old. He got to the register to ask for a tray. They said, No. We do not allow that here. It is not our policy. What???? We cannot take food home that we paid for and Hupei is just going to throw it in the trash? Does not make sense. The guy finally agreed to give my husband a take-home tray but then remarked..."I'll give you one this time, but it will NEVER happen again." My husband replied..."You just lost a customer." They were rude. There was no sense in that. I choke easily on food and we generally always get a take-home tray for me. We won't be back. We will go to their competitor in town.

My partner and I ordered Chicken Pad Thai, Green Chicken Curry and Pork Egg Rolls. Starting with the egg rolls - they were very fresh and hot. The glass noodles inside were delicious and overall they were super meaty. The pad Thai and curry were tasty. Both had great levels of spice that weren't overbearing and added to the flavor profile.

We were greeted warmly and got to select our own table, which had baskets of chopsticks as well as flatware to choose from, along with a roll of paper towels. The menu featured a greater variety than I expected; in addition to nine different bowls of ramen, there was a whole page of mazemen (like ramen but without the broth), several kinds of fried rice, and other selections. I got an appetizer of pork belly bao, which turned out to be two little sandwiches generously stuffed with cabbage, sliced cucumber, mayonnaise and something like hoisin and (of course) pork belly--so good! My partner got pork gyoza and gave me one--super tasty and done exactly as requested. For entrees, he got the Tonkatsu Ramen (#3 on the menu. I tried a bite and loved the flavor; he finished every drop. I had shrimp fried rice, which turned out to be a humongous portion including more and larger shrimp than I expected. I also want to mention that our waiter brought me a fresh glass of soda before I finished the one I was drinking--much appreciated! I never had to sit thirstily waiting for a refill. Highly recommended if you like anime--or ramen--or a good experience!
