They also have some Mexican food options, which was a little unexpected but gave the buffet some additional variety. Everything we tried was good, and the restaurant itself was clean.

It is definitely worth checking out if you are looking for a good Chinese buffet in the Kansas City area.

This is THE place for us. The shrimp dishes are excellent, large, plump, and juicy shrimp/prawns! We've tried just about every shrimp dish - I cannot recommend just one. They have all been consistently good and exceed our expectations. The staff are friendly, efficient, and hard-workers!! We love this place, which is in a nondescript strip shopping mall at 127th & Mur-Len. Oh, don't forget to take a $2.50 baggie of Almond Cookies home with you. Yum.

Cafe Brazil is located inside Brazil Academy, making it a bit of a hidden gem. The bright blue and…read moreyellow décor creates a festive atmosphere, and with all the international flags hanging throughout the café, it felt like I had come to the right place. I happened to visit during the World Cup, so the flags made the atmosphere feel especially fitting. It was relatively quiet when I stopped in, making it a nice spot to relax with a coffee and pastry as well. The menu isn't huge, but it offers a nice selection of Brazilian favorites, including pão de queijo (Brazilian cheese bread), coxinha (Brazilian chicken croquettes), and Escondidinho de Carne, a Brazilian-style shepherd's pie made with yuca instead of potatoes (available with either beef or chicken). Many of these items are also sold frozen to take home, along with brigadeiros, cakes, and other desserts. They also serve coffee, smoothies, and a creative lineup of açaí bowls named after Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu belt colors. I've never had an açaí bowl before, but the belt-themed names definitely made me want to try one next time. My Order: Beef Yuca Shepherd's Pie The crust was flaky and buttery with a savory beef and yuca filling. I ordered it to go, and it was still warm by the time I got home. Honestly, I'm not sure I could tell much of a difference between yuca and potatoes, but if you're already a fan of shepherd's pie like me, this is definitely worth trying. The woman at the counter was friendly and welcoming, and the café itself was clean, bright, and comfortable. Atmosphere & Service: 5 Beef Yuca Shepherd's Pie: 5 The only reason I'm giving 4 stars overall instead of 5 is because the menu is fairly limited. I just wish they had a few more sandwiches or lunch options because I'd definitely come back to try them. I'll definitely be back to try one of the açaí bowls as well as the Beef Yuca Shepherd's Pie.

We cast our culinary lines into the waters of this Olathe staple tonight…read more It's been a decade or more since I last graced these shores, so I was eager to see if it still held onto that rustic charm. Stepping inside is like stepping straight into 1990--clean, nostalgic, and completely frozen in time. ​We kicked off with the traditional, complimentary family-style spread: ham and beans, hush puppies, and coleslaw. I'm not a big beans-and-slaw guy, but they nailed the traditional flavor profile for anyone who is. The hush puppies, however, were a total Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Dry--half of them were perfectly moist with a crisp shell, while the rest felt ready to turn to dust in the wind. ​I went non-traditional and reeled in the Hunter's Special: rotisserie duck (leg and thigh), fried quail, and a jumbo frog leg with mashed potatoes and gravy. The taters and gravy were easily the most comforting part of the meal. All the meats delivered good flavor, though It was like biting into you an oil slick. The fried quail was the standout catch of the day for me--I'm one of those people who eats the bones, so aside from the heavy grease, I was in crunch heaven. One highlight of the plate was trying the Gunslinger hot sauce, which delivered the fiery flame I was looking for. ​Service was the biggest snag of the night. My friend mentioned the staff is usually exceptionally friendly, but our server gave off pure robot energy--strictly matter-of-fact with zero charisma. The ultimate cringe moment was watching her grab our drink glasses from the top like an arcade claw machine, completely crushing my friend's straw in the process. ​The food made it to the table, but human warmth was entirely off the menu. Come for the rustic nostalgia, the crunchy quail, and the Gunslinger sauce--just hope for a server with a bit more soul.

These ribs put every BBQ rib I have had before now to shame. My tastebuds now understand what ribs should taste like. It was a magical cross between perfection and awesome. I ate until I was ready to split a seam. Absolutely incredible. If you can get yourself here, do it... the food is amazing!
