Ice cream flavors

We went here for dinner. [[HIGHLIGHT]]There was nobody there, but toward the end it got packed.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] But they only give you one hour to eat, unlike many places where you get as long as you want. There was only one nice lady working as a server, she had to walk around the whole place which took a long time if you wanted a refill on soda or water. Also if there was little food left you would have have to wait 20 minutes because nobody would refill the food. Also the hibachi worker overcooked the food, it was dry and incredibly chewy. The fried fish and lobster claws was NOT what it was supposed to taste like. The were awful. The good sides were that they had crab legs (it was a small try so it would go away fast and they would take a while) they also had free ice cream which usually would be an extra charge, it was also very quite with soft music. The amount of sushi they had was huge

Wow! Amazing food quality and taste! Sushi is by far my favorite! The Wings are fresh and banging!!!! My new spot yall!!! Servers were very nice too!! Music was very cool too!!

No...just no. This was my second time here. I make it a point to not eat at buffets but just like my first visit when I was with good friends who seem to adore this place, I was with the same set of friends this time. The first time was okay but this time was worse then okay and even my friends who are avid regular customers were not at all pleased with our visits. First of all, it was hot in there! It was around 95 degrees outside and probably around 89 degrees inside .*NO EXAGGERATION* I asked the server why was it so hot. He said 2 of the air conditioners were broke. Really?? What kind of establishment has broken air conditioners on a 95-degree day? Fortunately no one passed out. Problem #2 - it was so nice the restaurant had hand sanitizers at each food station- one in the front of each food station, one in the back and one in the middle of each food station. A total of 3 per station. What would have been even better is if they weren't empty bottles. I literally tried all of them and all of them were bone dry! Problem #3 - they had large serving spoons for customers to use at each prepared meal dish. The issue is that everyone and their buffet-eatin' mommas used that same spoon. THAT, combined with no hand sanitizer is a recipe for influenza, coronavirus or some other type of virus. Problem #4 - they asked us to leave after a certain period of time. My guests hadn't even had dessert yet and there were plenty of seats open, even if calculating proper social distance measures. So why did we have to eat and rush to leave? Yup poor service, unsanitary methods by which guests were serving themselves and a very uncomfortable "Sahara dessert type" of environment. I won't be back. K...thanks...bye.

Very good food, Very fresh, Shrimp Lomain was one of the best Iv ever had, great chicken and rice…read moresoup, very good fried dumplings. Delivery was very fast and driver was very nice, one of the best Chinese places around

Not my local place, I was passing thru and decided to order take-out. I got the Gen Tso Shrimp…read morelunch special and took it home. When I opened the round container, I noticed it was a little lacking. The places by me all load those to the sides and top. This portion did not fill out the container. Anyway, there were about 10 medium shrimp, which seems adequate. They could have added just a bit more rice to fill out the container. The shrimp were tasty, there was enough spice to justify the "spicy" designation, and the rice was tasty with two sprigs of broccoli. The only difference in flavor from local places is the rice had a pleasant flame grilled flavor. Maybe from the pork or the grill it was fried on? The wonton soup container was shorter than my local places serve, adding to the undersized portion observation. The two wontons were tasty, and the broth tasted like typical. One weird thing was the dog whimpering somewhere behind the counter. The intellectual crossroads of Chinese and dogs distracted my attention for a brief second, but it didn't deter me from ordering. Lol. If the portions were on a par with typical take-out in my area, and minus the whimpering dog behind the counter, would have been 5 stars.

Never saw wonton soup in a shorter container like this.  The lunch special portion was a bit skimpy as well. However, flavor is good!!

Very cute, small Chinese food spot on the corner of a plaza in Lodi. My family has been ordering…read morefrom them since 2003 and they've always been great! Walked down there today to get some curry chicken, and it's very flavorful as to be expected - and I love that they add snap peas and water chestnuts to their curry! The woman at the front is extremely effective for how busy it can get between both the in-person orders and over the phone, and was even able to order in Chinese with her! 多謝您們,唐人中華料理!

Believe or not, there are "levels" to Chinese fast food (aka bootleg Chinese food). And Lodi…read moreChinatown Gourmet Kitchen is, in my humble opinion, on the lower end. We decided to go out of our way and give them a try, based on some old Yelp photos of their pan fried dumplings and how good it looked in the photos. I constantly subject myself to new, lower-end establishments in hopes of finding gems here and there, but I should have known better with this one. This restaurant is very typical of any Chinese fast food restaurant and they serve most of the usuals here - I'm hoping the "usuals" of Chinese fast food need no introduction what so ever. In addition, there are your lunch specials as well, which are served daily from 11AM - 3PM. We ended up ordering the Pan Fried Pork Dumplings and a Chicken with Garlic Sauce Lunch Special with Pork Fried Rice and Wonton Soup for takeout. First, before I dive into the flavors, it was very disappointing to find out that the Pan Fried Pork Dumplings only came with 6 pieces. 6 pieces for $8!?!? What has this world come to that a bootleg pan fried pork dumpling is $1.33 each!?!? As for the food, meh. The pork dumplings were rather very average. It wasn't great, but it wasn't the worst pork dumpling I've ever had. As for the Chicken with Garlic Sauce - another meh. I've definitely had better when it comes to this type of a lunch special. The taste of it all was just a bit off and not as good as other Americanized Chinese fast food we've had at other places. It was worth a try to see if they served better pan fried dumplings than our favorite Chinese fast food restaurant, but the answer was a clear NO. As for the other food, it wasn't much better either.
