China Buffet on Telegraph Rd. in Monroe
« on: July 08, 2008, 12:37:00 PM »

I've eaten there twice.  The first time was ok.  The second time we went, the food wasn't all very warm.  I noticed that some items that should be on ice or refrigerated (example: Shredded Cheese & Salad dressings) were just sitting on the counter.  Would like to see more than just lettuce to make a salad (No tomatoes, carrots, .....nothing)  Could have done without them pulling their smelly vacumn cleaner out while we were dinning. There was no soap in the restroom.   I thought it was rather expensive too....$22.00 for one adult and a child.  I don't think we'll be heading back there anytime soon.  It's just not worth it.

China buffet is just plain gross!!!!  I went once and that was enough for me.  China Wok by Foodtown is a dive but has awesome Chinnese food!

I have never went there for dinner, but I have went there for lunch. Lunch for 2 people is around $15, including drinks.

I can't say anything about their salad bar, as I don't go to eat salad at a Chinese Buffet restaurant.

I only have a few items that I like, and their sweet and sour chicken is not one of them.

Their food is okay, but nothing to rave about.

China Wok is a dive, but their food is much better tasting, I don't care for their sweet and sour either though. The General Tso's chicken is really good

Magic Wok has good eggrolls, and good sweet and sour sauce. That's about it.

Duffs was gross, but then again I'm not a big fan of buffets to begin with.  The only one I liked was O'Nami's in San Diego.  $22 for all you can eat sushi and other good food stuffs.  They had crab legs, green tea ice cream, shrimp, chocolate covered strawberries....yum

Duffs!  OMG!  My grandfather used to take us there when we were kids. All I can remember is they had good friend chicken and dressing.

I think eating at White Castles would be punishment enough.

The after effects are just a reminder of just how good the food really was... it is the reason they call them "Sliders" after all.
