Imperial Buffet

This is the kind of buffet, the food can be decent if its busy enough,.. and there is sushi. But almost nothing is labeled, and if it is, then it is labeled wrong. The icecream is hard and the meat is terrible. If you like fish, it CAN be decent. Go somewhere else if you can. But if you are in desperate need, at least go when its busy.

I had to give them one start because they had snow crab legs, that’s what I came for. The people that work here don’t even care enough to keep things clean. They throw the food in the trays to refill them like there going to feed animals. The table was dirty and so was my utensils and when I told my waitress she just cleaned the spoon off with her finger, I asked for new ones and she did not look happy. I had to call across the room to get e refill about 4x. The buffet area had food on the counters. The only thing that kept me from walking out is the fact that my family was hungry I didn’t want to sit in the car another 5 min since we were already here.

I’ve been to many Chinese buffets. I will not be returning to this one.
There was a typical variety of food. Like many Chinese buffets, the bulk of it is fried items.
I thought a few of the items were scary. I usually head straight to the hot and sour soup. I didn’t try it. I would never have thought it hot and sour soup if it wasn’t labeled. But then again the tray with crayfish had a «white rice» sign over it.
The «seafood delight» was chunks of fish. It looked like salmon and some kind of white fish. They were hard like little pieces of wood so I returned the tongs to their place.
I arrived at 5 o’clock. There was a definite feel that everything had been sitting out all
day. Only sesame chicken and items with sauce seemed to hold any heat. Everything else I tried was cold/​room temperature. It made the «breading» on the fried items thick and chewy.
I settled on some shrimp to munch on while sampling bites of this and that.
The buffet was $ 13.95, probably cheaper at lunch. I didn’t see any prices posted.
If the steam table was working properly I think this would’ve been an entirely different review.

This place is fine – not the best food I’ve had but certainly not the worst. We were a bit skeptical just based on the appearance and that only a few other people were in the restaurant, but it turned out okay.
There were typical Chinese buffet items (sesame chicken, sweet and sour chicken, rice) and some non traditional that I couldn’t identify (some fish dishes). The food was warm, not hot, and not super fresh from the kitchen, but it all tasted okay.
Desserts were a little stale, but okay.
Service was good – very speedy at taking away plates and bringing drinks.

Best food I’ve ever had! Delicious and fresh, better than any other Chinese food places in the area! Laura sucks and is a loser!
