"My first observation was dirty windows. Not dusty, dirty. Lots of fingerprints on doors and windows. Perhaps cleanliness is not a priority here. The dining area is okay enough, but nothing special stood out. The hostess was pleasant and returned quickly with drinks. They were not very busy here. This is a buffet only style restaurant. If I had known, I wouldn't have gone in as I am not a fan of buffets. This establishment was a reminder of why. To their credit, the buffet pans were full. The problem was that the food in them is lukewarm at best. I tried a variety of dishes and encountered the same issue with all of them. The egg roll was very unpleasant. It had a rotten cabbage taste that made my stomach turn. I actually spit it back out into my napkin. I usually love a good egg roll. This wasn't it. They have areas labeled Mongolian Grill, which is to order, and a sushi area. The grill ingredients looked like they had been there for a while, and the sushi area looked to mostly be comprised of vegetable sushi. I hate to be harsh, but I fully expect to get food poisoning from here. The food is just not being maintained at a high enough temperature to meet food safety standards. I see where others have shared that carpet and bathrooms are disgusting. Apparently, the carpeting has been replaced with laminate. We did not brave the bathrooms. We will not go back. I can not in good conscience recommend this restaurant. I try to find a positive in every restaurant experience. The hostess has a lovely smile."
