When I saw the commercial for this place on TV proudly stating their vast array of vegetarian options, I decided it was worth the trip up North to check out. This was the worst dining experience I've had in YEARS.
#1 -- It's expensive. My boyfriend and I paid 28 dollars for two buffets. And you must pay before entering, which if I'd seen their abysmal selection, I *NEVER* would have done.
#2 -- The waitstaff is surly beyond belief. The girl who rang me up had a MAJOR attitude, but it didn't stop there. The busboys hung out by our table the whole time, just standing around and leaning on their brooms. The waitress never once refilled my drink, and in fact never appeared again the entire time I was there.
#3 -- The place is a nightmare. It was so crowded, I could barely move. There are WAY too many tables and bodies crammed together, and even if you could get past the fact that the whole restaurant is warm and moist, the ungodly NOISE of the place makes dining extremely stressful and unpleasant.
#4 -- The food is ****TERRRRRRIBLE****. I've had bad Chinese/Asian buffet food before, but this really takes the cake. Their "vegetarian" selection is a freaking JOKE. They didn't even offer a vegetable stir fry option. The *ONLY* Chinese dish they had was a tofu stew, which I was HORRIFIED TO DISCOVER contained gobs of meat. Of course, I only discovered this after it was already in my mouth, but at this point I was so hungry and frustrated, I just wanted to cry. I spit it out on my plate. There is a small (pitiful) salad bar available, but if you are expecting Asian cuisine of *ANY KIND*, my vegetarian friends, DO NOT COME HERE.
I felt so violated and angry after leaving this place, I immediately had to come and leave a WARNING for other people. This is a horrible, horrible restaurant. I am so disgusted, I am going to try and reverse the charges on my credit card. Nobody should have to pay this much money to be treated this badly and fed so poorly.
