Regrettably everyone, this review will be totally different from the one that was written by me 3 months ago.
Since learning of this all you can eat buffet restaurant offering crablegs (my specialty) and it's other delicious food in February 2026, I have visited this location at least once a week if possible, and I think maybe one time twice. I have referred many now customers here as well as visiting myself with people.
I had never had a problem there and have always enjoyed my experiences here until recently, on Wednesday, June 24th. It was unbelievable!!
After working, I decided to drive the usual 40 miles from home to Raleigh to enjoy a dinner at my new favorite restaurant, Asian Delight Buffet. I think my arrival was around 4:45 pm. Mind you that dinner buffet with the Crablegs's began at 3:30pm on Monday-Friday. Upon arriving I was seated by the hostess in the section that I love, in the center. Being a senior citizen with knee and some heart issues, I want to walk as little as possible to get food. (smile). I also usually like to sit at a particular table whenever it is available. (Smile). On June 24th, when I arrived, an employee was sitting at the table eating that everyone knows I like. Of course, I was then asked where I wanted to sit in the area and I told her..
Okay, so now I am seated with my Dr. Pepper and it's time to eat. I, as usual look for crablegs first but there are none available at the moment which is not a problem for me. I then go to the hibachi and get some grilled shrimp only for my pasta. Then some crablegs arrive. I go to get some and keep in mind, they only bring one pan out at a time of them so unless you are in the first few people in line, you are out of luck this trip. Also, when I am getting crablegs, if there is a line, I try to be considerate of others waiting for some. Therefore; you may have to wait quite often for the crablegs to be replenished. I never have a problem with that for I am usually not in a hurry when I go here. I sometimes talk with other diners and have occasionally happen to run into customers that I have referred there.
Well, lo and behold, on this day, not an extremely busy Wednesday afternoon, the lady hostess comes up to me while I am getting some crablegs and starts fussing. She tells me that there is a 2 hour limit and that I had been there longer. She continued to say that I always come and get the big crablegs and leave the small, she mentioned that I always want to sit at the same table, that the employee was sitting at that day.. well, I never expected the employee to vacate that table for me nor would I have asked anyone to do so. She also said I come late all the time and always during the week. Please help me understand that, I come during the week to avoid the Saturday and Sunday crowds. Who is she to tell me when to come as long as I arrive during their business hours? Is that ridiculous or what? This woman followed me back to my table and we began to go back and forth at each other because now I am hurt and sick of her. She was so awful and ridiculous to the point that she was drawing the attention of some of the diners. A couple dining with a child came over to ask me if I was alright and what was going on. I was explaining to the lady but the hostess was so determined to get her point across that she rushed back over with her phone, to show us where she pulled up on the website I guess it was, the two hour limit policy.. She told them that I had been there over two hours. Please understand, I would never be there anytime for 2 hours if they were busy and needed seating. Also, I definitely can't eat continuously for 2 hours . I on this particular day was talking to others in between eating and waiting for crablegs, I was drinking hot water with my crystal light in it to stay warm as I tend to get cold easily. The hostess also said to the concerned couple that I come once a week, sometimes twice a week. The couple questioned why that would be a problem. They also let her know that crab legs aren't available all the time on the bar and should be if you have a time limit for people, noting that crab legs weren't available when they first came in. She was asked by one of the young ladies if she time every customer that comes in or if she is singling me out. Now this definitely was not the end of her unprofessional and rude behavior. Believe me,, she said more.... I asked for contact information for the owner while still there but it was refused. I even called back to the restaurant when I arrived home and left my name and phone number asking that it be given to the owner for him to call me but I have not heard back from anyone yet. Probably did not get it.
This review is to in no way have a negative impact on the food. It's still great!!!
I am hoping to get to speak with the owner soon to see what his view is on what happened in his/her restaurant to me on June 24, 2026.
