"This is actually the only Chinese buffet I will go to that I trust in SA. First the bad. Most of the menu items are rather well bland. The salad bar needs work, as in they need to dry their produce. No one wants wet lettuce on their salad. The Mongolian grill's sauces need help as well. The ingredients are fine, but the spices and sauces for it are lacking what it needs to make something good. Bottled garlic is horrible and I would rather have them used granulated garlic instead. I have mentioned these issues whenever I go upfront to pay, but of course they haven't done diddly about it yet.<br/ <br/ Now for the good stuff; They actually have pretty good hot and sour soup. Its always hot and it actually has fresh mushrooms and tofu. The pan fried dumplings are tasty. The sushi is just well meh. Nothing to brag about, but they do have sea weed salad when paired that with some fresh cucumber, crab, and mackerel; that makes it something worth getting if you like seafood. Now that being said, the real reason I come here are those times I have a real craving for crab legs. They have them on weekend evenings and they are actually pretty fresh (well fresh enough for inland Texas). I have never understood the need to drown crab meat in butter, but you are in a chinese joint so what I do recommend is that you ask your server for some vinegar, add a little sriracha or hot oil. Then add some ginger from the sushi bar and dip your crab in that instead. Oh one more thing, the crawfish here is usually ok, but if you encounter the mushy kind when you peel em, then just stop. Just don't do that to yourself."
