    Szechuan Chicken
    Colleen F.

    I just love this place!! My favorite is the Mongolian Beef & Szechuan Chicken (hot) today we just did pickup & the place was busy with many people doing pickup! The people are always so pleasant when eating in or for pickup. It is a little out of the way for us but for their food I'll make the drive!

    The chicken in both my meal and my date's meal was undercooked. When I informed the older lady working there, she tried to explain that Chinese chicken is cooked differently. However, I know what properly cooked chicken looks like, regardless of the cuisine. She still charged us and insisted the chicken was fine. The restaurant was empty when we arrived, and now I understand why. The tablecloths were also dirty, as if they hadn't been changed in a while. To the lady who served us: your behavior was unprofessional, especially when you picked a piece of chicken off my plate to taste it and claim it was cooked. Avoid this place.

    Not quite sure why so many horrible reviews. I had to try this place for that reason alone. I was super surprised to say the least. Had the sweet and sour chicken and it was amazing. Idk...call me a nut but fried to perfection chicken with a nice sauce, piping hot. Huge portion for the price and a TON of rice. Not that half of cup you're getting now at a lot of places. I have no idea what in the world is wrong with that, but I will be back try more dishes. (I may be wrong about it being sweet and sour, but trust me it was delicious, see picture)

    So my first review I had just started working here. After a short 3 months I ended up quitting and this is why. The chef has been there at northern China since he was 20. Hes now 42 years old. The new owners came in about 2-1/2 years ago. They're Korean. Well not only were they embezzling my money and paying in an unethical way but then had the nerve to had their hired CPA cover up their tracks.. Lastly, they don't know up from down when it comes to the food yet they tell the chef and everyone what to do just because they are indeed the owners... well how the hell are you going to tell me or the chef what to do. The chef runs the kitchen. You're the owner. You run the business side of the restaurant so just shut your mouth. If the customer is not complaining. Why tf are you complaining. Again it became very unethical and I really hope their karma is coming. A little bit about the embezzling. My gross pay was just over $1000 every two weeks. So how the hell am I only getting $545ish every two weeks.... when I called the owner out on it my check was finally about $845. On top of that on Christmas Day I was working. I gave out $55 in change out of my own pocket. There was 2 credit card tips that I accounted for. Plus many more but two in particular. One a $12 tip the other a $15 tip. I go into work on the 26th of dec just to find the lady only gave me back $72 LMAO. I LOST IT. I ended up quitting because the male owner Moon Hwang got mad at me for soaking three sticky stainless steel trays in dish soap while I was about to wash the other trays that only needed scrubbed then rinsed off and sanitized. He said "YOU NO NEED NO MEDICINE" just trying to pick a fight just to say something. So I said fine you do the dishes I'll go home. The next day I go to work his wife talks for him. His wife is ALWAYS talking for him. The guy has no balls. Anyway they cut my hours to 3 days a week 2 hours a day. Because it was slow and I called them out earlier that week about my pay not being right. Then he legitimately got mad at me for using dish soap lmao. Later on I went to visit the restaurant to see the chef since he's now my good friend and the owner Moon Hwang tried to hold me at knife point haha to get me out of the kitchen since I went in through the back door. Told the guy he's about to get knocked tf out haha. Yeah. If anything support the head chef Phouthamaly Phiachantharath and his helper Keo. The owner Moon Hwang and his wife Yung Hwang oh and the server Choi. Kinda a bigger lady that always wears lip liner. Yeah she kisses their ass and they all are a great team(: but in reality. Without Pou and his knowledge of the food. The restaurant wouldn't stay afloat. The wife don't know how to cook and the husband barely knows. Even tho he has a recipe book he still doesn't know what half of his own handwriting actually means lmao. The owners are trash. If anyone reads this and goes to the restaurant. I was the white boy working there. (: I'm being honest. As honest as the work I put into their restaurant all outta the love from my heart. But they crossed the line with me and like I said. Their karma is coming there way.

    I had the General Tso Chicken and wife had Chicken Chow Mein/Sweet Sour Chicken. Both meals were fresh off the wok and the presentation was great. The taste was pretty good and the sauces were tasty. Wife said that the Chicken Chow Mein was a bit salty but I didn't think so. I give this place 3.7/5 for the presentation, customer service, and like I said the food was served hot. However, if you look closer to the ingredients they use in the fried rice and soup you will notice the low quality. Chicken they used for the sweet sour and general Tso is similar just different sauce. The chicken bits (if you pay close attention) has more breading than actual chicken - precooked and frozen. If you ever had Good quality Chinese food then you'll see that they use real chicken cutlets.

    Omg this is what I wanted. Real good nyc style Chinese food. I'm up from Kodiak and tied other Chinese places in the area and this is the best.

    Second worst egg foo yung I've ever had in my entire life. I won't be buying chinese again until I get back to the lower 48. Save ur $$$$.

As expected, the restaurant was crowded. After thirty minutes, it was hard to find an available table. Food is ordered at a counter, then a waiter takes it to the table. Portions were large. Fried rice tasted just right. It was piled high and I special ordered it without peas. It was prepared correctly. Five stars! Pot stickers were good. 4 stars. My wife had beef chow fun and that was five stars and the portion was large. Self serve soft drinks are available with unlimited refills. Strongly recommend this for anyone who likes good Chinese food. Our bill with tip was over $60. No sales tax in Anchorage.

My mom said the restaurant was really good years ago and it's been recommended to me by someone else too. I can't say the bakery isn't good, but at least the restaurant food was not worth trying I got dumplings, greens (#11), sticky rice (pork), steam bun, Mongolian beef, wings (unseasoned, however crowd favorite), fried wide noodles.

    Overall 3 Stars…read more Ambiance 3 Stars: Older Asian Buffett restaurant which has been opened for a very long time. The interior has your normal Asian decor with two Chinese soldier statues greeting you and the entrance. The interior of the Buffett is pretty spacious and open and it has two smaller dinning areas for more privacy. Staff: 3 stars Our server greeted us and sat us quickly and asked for our drinks. She had a "hurried" state of mind but had a friendly smile. Good: 2.5 - 3 Stars With Three separate buffet stations for hot and cold items, it had "ok" selection. Nothing extraordinary. Basic limited sushi selection. They sure loved Philly cheese because I counted four different sushi version with it. Hey, it is easy to make, a great filler to the stomach, and is inexpensive. Great for the business but terrible if you want other sushi varieties. The other stations will have your other basic Asian dishes but nothing to say, "Yummy or Wow"! Again the Buffett is great if you want to fill your tummy and spend time with friends or family members. Price: 2.5 Stars We went on a Sunday, the price was a lot more than expected. Over $30-40 per person. Does that seem reasonable? Not in my book, but it has been a while since I've gone to a buffet. Only reasons we went because some of the other members enjoyed it and no one wanted to cook. Which sounds pretty reasonable to me.

There are their soups, the sushi, which has a good variety of choices. They have a decent salad bar, and a good selection of desserts. They even have a soft ice cream machine. The entrees they offer can satisfy anyone. They have fish, beef, chicken and more in meats. They have rice and noodles. They have tampora as well. If you are not interested in the buffet, you can order from the menu. The also offer spirits. If you seek to host a party. They can handle most request. They have a smaller dinning area as well as a larger one. As I said, I have coming here since they opened 20 years again and never tire of the food or the people. I feel at home here.

We ended up going back a second time the week after and went with the orange chicken and sweet and sour shrimp. The size portions again were massive and made three meals.
