Lucky Buffet

Worse place ever. Wish I could give it zero stars. Now I realize why their parking lot is empty whenever we drive by even on Friday nights. This place use to be good when they opened up about 5 years ago.  It's always had bad service and they have treated their customers completely rude. I was craving crab legs so we stopped in. Well, it's an additional $5 if you wanted to add crablegs. That's a change! It use to be included in the buffet. Everything was dry on the buffet and the food quality has taken a total nosedive to pretty much rock bottom. They had no seafood out and very pathetic looking sushi, almost borderline 'eat it and you'll be guaranteed to get sick' kinda look. I really just came for the crablegs and my husand was just taking me here as it was the closest restaurant that had AYCE crab, so I looked passed all of that. So we asked the owner and she said yeah how many plates do you eat? is a couple enough? And I replied it should be but I don't know. She said "well, some customers ask for 10 and that's a lot." She said they'll make a couple for me. The crab came out, a disappointment but edible. After my second plate I asked for another and the waitress said manager said no there is a 2plate limit. She said she doesn't want to lose her job so she can't bring me one.  We were really confused because the signs everywhere said all you can eat. Well we got up to pay as nothing else on the buffet looked appetizing, and my husband confronted the cashier that their signs were false advertising, and there were at least 5 signs about it around us. She continued to ring us up at full price 8.99 and 13.99 respectively since he didn't have any crab yet at this point. As he gave her the stare down she started yelling for the manager and our waitress came out and started yelling something in chinese to the manager. After about 3 minutes straight of people yelling between the sushi area and the cash register, She came out and said "was everything okay? Was it good?" Really..!!??!  He proceeded to tell her that all the signs said all you can eat yet she instructed the waitress to give us 2 max. She said yeah, before you sat down we agreed on a couple, which means  1 or 2.  He said look at all the signs that say AYCE, and we never agreed on a limit nor "a couple" meaning 1 or 2 plates. She said if you want i'll bring you one more plate, don't get so mad. Really?!? we were already heading out the door and so annoyed at this point we just wanted to pay the bill and get out. So he gave her a coupon from <a href="/redir?url=http%3A%2F%2Fcoupons4indy.com&s=2b42714faf0eda76e0b1a5a750476f4aabe796b73acba432829bc9a0b20d57fa" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://coupons4indy.com</a> that said $1 off each meal.  She said they take them but conveniently forgot to take the coupons off.  He was tired of fighting at this point so he just signed the receipt and left.  Weird how before tip the total for our meals that was suppose to now be 7.99 and 12.99 was $29.00 for a rip off of a meal.  They will NEVER be getting our business again even if I was starving and the meal was free and no other restaurant was open within a 100 mile radius.  Yah, that's how bad I felt after leaving.

Do NOT go here, This is the worst chinese restaurant in Indiana! This was one of the worst dining experiences ive had in a long time. My wife was craving crab legs and we had not been here in a few months so we gave it a try. The service is usually pretty bad, but we usually look past it because they have cheap all you can eat crab legs and pretty good chinese food.

Well something has drastically changed, I am pretty certain this place will be out of business within 6 months. When we first sat down, we didnt see the crab legs so I asked about it. She said its extra now. She said you still want it, I said ya just my wife wants it. She said ok how many you want. We just looked at her, how many plates you want she said. My wife said you can bring a couple I guess, kind of confused.

Well I was craving some hibachi, which used to be pretty good. It was very dark in that area next to the sketchy sushi rolls. The meat, I think it was meat, was very discolored and nothing was on ice or anything. There was no one back there at all to help with this anyways. Needless to say I passed on the hibachi and the sushi. I was not really in the mood for violent vomitting and diarrhea.

So I got some of the average chinese food that you see at all chinese buffets. After we each finished a plate, we flagged down the waitress that was speeding past our table to ask about the crab legs. She leaned over the table to grab my plate and yelled across the restaurant right in my ear. When they finally came out a little later, there were probably about 6 or 7 measly crab legs. After eating those, she wanted some more even though they were not that great. Finally we got a waitress to bring some more.

Everything on the buffet was pretty bland, cold, and borderline health code failing. It's not like we went at like closing time either. Anyways, after contemplating eating more mediocre crab legs, my wife wanted some more. So we asked the waitress to bring more. She said no I cant, you had two plates already, we said what, I thought it was all you can eat. She said no its two plate limit. She said it says on sign only 2 plates. Now we were really confused. I know I saw a sign that said all you can eat.

So I got up to look and sure enough, every other step there are signs that say all you can eat crab legs and oysters 13.99. So we went up to the front to pay because we were just ready to get out of there. We waited at the front to pay, finally someone came over and I asked why we were limited to two plates when clearly signs everywhere even right on the desk where I was standing said all you can eat. She yells something in Chinese to the "manager" who was over making sushi rolls.

When she came over she said was everything good, I said no not really. I asked why we were limited to only 2 plates of crab legs. She said because I asked you at the beginning how many you want. I just stared at her in confusion. I said but its all you can eat. She said but you said you only wanted 2 plates. No, you asked how many plates meaning how many do you want us to bring out first. It says all you can eat, so why is not all you can eat. She said ok you can have 1 more plate, are you serious? We just wanted to get out of there so I handed her our coupons for a dollar off.

She didnt apologize or anything and acted like we were the crazy ones.
So she takes my card and swipes it and gives me the receipt for $29.51. My meal was $7.99 and my wife's was 13.99 and we had a dollar off each. I have no idea how she got to that total. I said how is that did you even use the coupons i just handed you. She said oh i forgot, I give you cash back, and hands me $2. Not wanting to cause a scene in front of the other 7 customers, we just left very annoyed and disappointed.

Please Do NOT go here. The food is not good, the service is really really bad, and they make up rules and prices. This is definitely the WORST chinese buffet in Indiana!

This place is where I had sushi for the first time. It was pretty good. They have quite a selection of food on their buffet, including some American food. All of the food is just ok. The staff is just ok. They like to come to your table a lot to check up on things. The prices are ok, pretty much the same as any other buffet.
