I've discovered Santa Maria's freshest, best tasting, Chinese food buffet! Tucked in a small shopping mall you might miss it, but it's well worth finding! First of all, the food just looks plain good. Colorful, fresh looking and steaming hot in smaller bowls that are refilled every few minutes. The servers were busy bringing food in and out of the busy kitchen. First things I dove into was super bright, salt and peppered green beans. These by themselves were so delicious I could have eaten a plate pile high with just these. Secondly, I piled a plate of sauteed, baby mushrooms. Finally, I had a crispy side of fresh sauteed cabbage with slivered carrots and bamboo shoots. For the meat, there was great looking and tasting beef and broccoli (the beef was plump, tender, and juicy)! The I had very good Kung Pao chicken and some crispy breaded orange beef. There are numerous seafood dishes including very fresh tasting shrimp prepared in various ways including sauteed with vegetables, fried, and tempura battered. There was a bowl of good looking snow crab legs that I saw several people partake in. I enjoyed the butterflied tempura shrimp! I also had a good serving of the chow mein and found it was light and fresh. There is a table of Chinese soups and rice dishes and a pretty unmolested looking salad bar also. There is a small, but nice looking desert bar with very good Chinese style fruit and coffee flavored Spong cake. It was so light and mildly sweet, I had to have 4 pieces! .there is also a soft serve machine and melted chocolate fountain that was fun to look at watch kids go up check out. The servers were nice and came by to see if I liked the food and told me to get more! Overall, so surprising to stumble upon such good tasting Chinese food! It's my new favorite place for Chinese food!
We can tell the old owners don't work there anymore. The place went down the hill now. We picked ming dynasty to be able to eat a little of everything. The buffet was empty and when we got there everything was old and crusty. I asked if they were going to bring more food? The employee answered "yes its cooking" twenty minutes went by and nothing . I honestly didn't eat anything and she still charge me. NEVER NEVER WILL I EVER GO BACK. I GIVE THEM A BIG ZERO.
Excellent dining experience with friendly staff. Food was delicious and plentiful.
Great food and good service. Been a family favorite for 20 years.
I go here for the food but more for the Hot and Sour Soup! A Must try. Thank you for your grub.
Best I've had in a long timeIt's number 1 in my book
