Not a lot of selection, but it's not a busy buffet. Good has good flavor. All self serve including drinks. Although garlic shrimp said mild, it definitely had a bite. Overall not much of a buffet.

You've been warned…read more 1. If you are Asian, you will be flatly denied entry. 2. If you are not Asian, you should understand the basic logic and what that says about this place. My wife and I were returning to Seattle after visiting Yellowstone and spent the night in Butte. We found this restaurant on Yelp. We weren't expecting world-class dining--just something reasonably clean and edible. What we did not expect was outright discrimination in 21st-century America--especially from people who, historically, have often been on the receiving end of it. As soon as we walked in, the owner/manager/waiter (all the same person) looked at us and said--in Hong Kong-style Mandarin--"I ask you to consume somewhere else." At first, I didn't even process what he said. My wife understood immediately: we were not welcome here because we looked Asian. Keep in mind, this was an Asian buffet. Once I realized what was happening, I was furious and ready to call the police. My wife pulled me away, reminding me there was no point staying another second. I agreed--but decided that people need to know about this. This isn't only about food quality. It's about basic human decency. And this man has none. Bottom line: Use common sense and basic logic. Stay far away from this place.

Something is seriously wrong with all the reviews of the Fairmont Hot Springs. The pools are epic!…read moreThe water warm or hot which ever you choose and the pyramid buildings are rad architecture from the before times. The people who leave one and two star reviews must have beef with the owners. That is the only explanation. Sure, they add a $20 resort fee to their daily rates, and they may surprise you with an additional charge for your kid. But even then, the rate (when compared to paying a day rate at another hot spring plus a night in a motel) it comes out even. And while staff is surly, from my experience they get that way from continually reminding people who can't follow the rules what the rules are. Again and again and again. It would be enough drive anyone crazy. Yes, there are too many kids screaming, spashing and throwing footballs and balls to their dad who is standing way too close to you for comfort. But the water feels good. The recently renovated rooms are fine. Ours had a fridge and a microwave and features well made beds, nice comforters, lots of pillows and a beautiful view out to the mountains. Do not be afraid. The Fairmont is fine.

It was very goopy. The shrimp tasted nice, but the chicken was covered in an unidentified sauce. This was later identified as "almond gravy" - it was tasteless and simply added goop and sogginess to the chicken. The chicken itself was cooked well, as were the shrimp. The fried rice was fairly generic and required soy sauce. So, the meal was just fine. But, rather pricey for being fairly mediocre.

A mixture of seating types are used to fill out the top floor of a building that makes up the oldest continually operating chinese restaurant in the states (at least as near as I can tell). My father and I took up one of the dining booths that provide a surprising amount of privacy to enjoy your dining company and food. The Special M is all two people could ask for with normal appetites, and you can get that rate for everyone in your party for simplicity and variety. Nothing in the lineup failed to satisfy. As to the famous noodles: the basic one l served in a broth that won't win over enthusiasts of ramen or pho, but this classic Chinese style is an interesting legacy of a historic restaurant that rounds out a destination dining experience.
