It was decent, buffet food tastes better... especially for the price $19 for a plate of beef broccoli and a drink. Their fried rice is too sticky and is probably made from brown rice. Their beef and broccoli was sub par and lacked any actual flavoring, the broccoli was the best part of the meal. The good news is they don't keep bothering you like they would at American food places
PLEASE BEWARE IF YOU HAVE A SHRIMP ALLERGY! I have a severe allergy to shrimp and no sign disclosed the fried rice contained shrimp. I ordered several items and when I got home, I noticed the rice had shrimp. I called to see if there was anything that could be done since all of my order had been touching the fried rice with the shrimp in it! Unfortunately, I spoke with Cesar who claimed to be an owner and was told there was nothing that could be done! I would have to order it without shrimp and that was a special order! He would not exchange the rice and told me it was my job to disclose that I had an allergy! No where does it state that the rice contains seafood. According to Cesar there was a picture showing shrimp! I did not see the picture showing shrimp! Cesar was very rude, very unprofessional and refused to help correct this issue! Basically, he said it was my own fault and refused to help! This was my first and last time ever going to this place. Cesar was very unprofessional and extremely rude!
The wait was not short but I guess 12 minutes is about okay for a lunch order even though it was after 1:00.I ordered the lunch special number nine which is garlic shrimp with fried rice and an egg roll. It was about 12 bucks but the portion was so huge that I couldn't even finish half and I'm a good eater.This is real, traditional Chinese. The shrimp was fried with the shells on and even some whole shrimp with heads. Not a big shrimp head eater and I really don't like chewing shells but it wasn't that bad.The fried rice was awesome, especially after I added some sriracha sauce.I'm going to try ordering ahead next time.
Favorite Chinese place in the area. Portions are large and affordable. Quality has been consistently good throughout the years. They used to be a buffet with a takeout option but Covid has made them change their whole business style. I'm happy they survived the uncertainty of the pandemic and have continued to provide quality food
Very very delicious and tasty food, the portions are generous. Also prices are fair. Very recommended.
It hurts to say that after over a decade of being a customer, it is time to find another place. The drive there isn't worth it anymore. I bought take out many times and from experience it seems the prices were increased to about 50% more from the previous take-out prices. One would think that doing take-out only would save on costs since people were not longer stuffing themselves with the "premium" dishes in the buffet. But instead, they decided to not have the buffet anymore AND increase the prices. So I would not longer consider this restaurant a 1 "$" rating type of place which is given to the cheapest places. Plus they do not longer "overstuff" the plate as they used to. The food is hit or miss, sometimes it is unbelievably delicious and other times is it mediocre at best. Out of the most recent 5 times I have purchased take-out, I have been satisfied with the quality twice.
If I could zero stars I would. Initially the girl in the from said, “ wait time 10-15mins” okay fair enough. 40 mins pass and nothing they had the food ready and took them 35mins to make a boba. Told them I wanted my money back and they’re saying no because the drink was made, I was like you barely made it after 35 mins. Like come on sealant it’s not rocket science make the boba and put it in the cooler where they have their ice cream. Or better yet put up a sign that says “No Refunda on bobas when it’s made” common sense. The girl in the register looked out of it like she didn’t know what to do, “someone is asking for their money back, what do I do?” So next time don’t give false timing to customers.
The food is good, service is awful. The owners daughter thinks she can talk to you however she pleases. Doesn’t let you talk. Has an attitude. She’s just rude. No customer service skills, whatsoever. They tell you the food will be ready within a certain amount of minutes and you get there on time yet you will still be waiting for your food. We’ve been going there for years…but after the last experience I would rather pay more at Royal Mandarin, better food anyway.
I felt bad for going to other places just because this place is no longer a buffet. I honestly expected the food to be better because its not a buffet anymore. But it was super horrible. Don't know how it tastes worse then when it was buffet, but it did. To be honest the food was never 5 stars. But a few items would always shine, like the salt N pepper chicken wings, and knowing you can get as much as you want kind of made it "worth it". Now this place is just a joke. Nothing tasted good, my noodles were greasy and the rice taste old and musty. The salt and pepper wings that i used to love tasted, tough,dry, and stringy. Honestly the weirdest texture of any chicken ive ever ate. Don't waste your money, covid changed this place for the worse
