Hibachi Grill & Supreme Buffet

If I were able I'd rate it 3.5.  It's not in the same league as Teppanyaki in Muncie or 8 China Buffet on 82nd St, but it's on the upper edge of "decent."

This is the location of the former China Buffet, recently remodeled to shiny newness.  The first stall in the ladies' room has a "PUSH--American Express welcome here."  O.o

Today was their grand opening, so on one hand they may need a bit to really find their feet, or this might be as good as it will be.  There's a fair selection of sushi, though kind of middle-of-the-road--face it, Anderson doesn't have the same audience for sushi that Indy or even Muncie has.  The rest of the food was pretty standard for a mid-grade buffet, kept fresh and attractive.

Items of note include the fried zucchini, which was especially good (and I'm not a fan of zucchini!), with a firm, crispy outer coating and a creamy center.  The golden fingers had a nice batter layer, and the barbeque ribs had an interesting sauce.

I have to subtract points because the only hot mustard was the kind in packets, and even the duck sauce was in packets--at least have a bin of commercial duck sauce with the hot oil on the salad bar.  The spring roll filling was tasteless, mushy, and colourless.  The fried potatoes were a little over-oily.

They did have palmiers on the dessert table--there's nothing worse than a buffet without them!
