Asian Buffet

Awful.  I hate these places and only go to indulge my husband's penchant for cheap American-ized Asian food.  They do get a bonus half star because the hot and sour soup was pretty tasty, but that's the only nice thing I can say about this buffet.  Ew.

Don't do it.  

There are good dive-y Asian buffets and there are bad dive-y Asian buffets.  This unfortunately falls into the latter category.  It's cheap, but you get what you pay for.  Our lunch buffet was $7 - all you can eat and featured all of the usual suspects - sesame chicken, sweet & sour chicken, egg drop soup, hot & sour soup, egg rolls, chicken wings, sushi rolls (if you're feelin' risky) salad bar section, mussels and soft serve ice cream.

If I'm going to calorie-load on an Asian buffet I want it to be good, hot and fresh.  The food was warmish and everything fried had that slighly soggy - I've been sitting in this warming bin for a while - taste.  No wonder the food was cold, it was freezing in this Denney's turned Asian Buffet - the wall thermostat said 62F.  

Maybe they do it right when the food is made-to-order, but I don't think I'll be going back to find out.

We stopped on the way home from the airport last night.  When we arrived at about 545 (sorry, but Yelp doesn't allow colons in their reviews.  Ohfer!), there were not many diners but I saw a couple of them tieing into crab legs.  Interesting.  

They have sushi, which I did not taste.  (shrug)  They have many offerings, several of which are fish or seafood (mussels, clams, crab legs, coconut shrimps, salt & pepper shrimps, crayfish).  Of all those, I most enjoyed the crab legs and the coconut shrimp - fried shrimps in a creamy coconut sauce.  (shrugs).  There were lots of other selections, too, and two soups.  The hot and sour soup was hot but not sour; my egg roll was barely warm (could be my fault for not eating it immediately)  They have desserts, which I did not have.  My companion had some canned mandarin oranges and another cakey-desserty thing.  (shrug)   My companion pigged out on stuff; my take is to take maybe only one or two bites worth of any given dish, then I can decide if I want to go back for more.  The salt & pepper shrimps were a bit tough.

And for all that, I'll go back again -- the staff was accommodating when I asked for vinegar to sour up my soup; they were friendly and eager to please.  I wish them success in their venture.

By the time we left at 635, several more cars and customers had arrived; rather a lot of Asian folks, I thought.  

Give them a go.
