Nine years ago I had a rough experience with Chinatown Kitchen that made me not want to stop ever…read moreagain. A recent lack of other options, however, forced me to give them a second chance. I ordered a pint of pork fried rice with no onion, one shrimp egg roll, and one pork egg roll. The filling in the pork egg roll slightly reminded me of what you'd find in an egg roll from a grocery store freezer, but it wasn't mushy compared to the grocery store kind. I've had better pork egg rolls, but I've also had worse. The shrimp egg roll was surprisingly good. Slightly larger than the pork egg roll, there was a definite difference in terms of quality of the filling and it had notable pieces of shrimp. I don't know if it was cinnamon I was tasting, but there was a hint of something like cinnamon in it, which I've had before in an egg roll elsewhere and makes it stand out from the pack. I would get the shrimp egg roll again. I found it funny when I took the pork fried rice out of the bag that it said "no veg" on the box, which meant onion was the only vegetable in it to begin with. As I quickly determined, if you say no onion all you're getting is fried rice and, in this case, pork. Thankfully, there was way more pork than I was expecting and it was good quality pieces. It would have been nice to have something like carrots or peas or egg in the fried rice as well just to give it another texture without the onion, but I'd still get it again even as such.

I ordered Beef with peppers. The beef was very tasty but there was way too much onion. I ate some…read morebut I still had a large pile of onion when I was finished. They are really not set up for eat in service. 5 small tables. Canned soda which was room temperature and no ice. The egg roll was very good and not overloaded with cabbage. You walk up to order at the checkout and our food was brought to the table by a young boy. This place obviously caters to their carry out business.

I've been to Harvey Moy's once before, but it was years before I started using Yelp, so they were due for a visit. I ordered two chicken egg rolls to go. The egg rolls from Harvey Moy's score big points with me for being made in house and not tasting like they're from a grocery store freezer. They're also substantially sized compared to egg rolls from most other restaurants. That said, because of their size they weren't hot in the middle, maybe only warm at best. The egg roll filling also had bit a sweetness to it and that's not something I'm necessarily looking for in egg rolls. I thought the filling could have used another vegetable or two just to break up what was primarily chicken and cabbage.

The place was clean and the staff was friendly, especially the cashier...of course knowing what they were dishing out her friendliness might have been the fake kind, like you might expect from a hospice nurse. We did not do the 'hot pot', just the buffet. Perhaps that accounts for other reviews giving more than one star. The first warning sign was all the chafing dishes at the buffet, except for the deep fried items, were nearly empty...with just a mouthful more than a single scoop in each. Of the nine items making it to my first and only plate...three were spitbacks and five were one-bite-and-dones...only the egg roll, which was almost certainly the boxed sysco frozen variety, got finished. They missed on most every basic expectation (even one already lowered for buffets). Tepid, not hot. Greasy. Obviously reheated. Overcooked. Oversalted. Change your frying oil. Every item had at least two of these fatal flaws. Every single one. My dining companion asked rhetorically, "how can you f@$k up a crab rangoon"? Well....see above. This was A PROFOUNDLY bad PTSD-inducing experience. And not cheap either. Cost cutting at the expense of the patron at every opportunity. In conclusion, it WILL make a turd, if you can keep it down. (It's nearly a turd already). A REALLY mean person might suggest that this buffet was so awful it could make a person change their opinion about American immigration policies. Act of war bad... I'm not THAT mean, but if after all my negative comments you still feel compelled to try this place, at least call ahead and ask which day they cook items fresh. Hint, it isn't on Wednesdays... The Mayor of Germantown should get a call. That bad.

The 3.5 star theory is proven true…read more Let me explain. When you're dealing with Asian restaurants-- be it buffet or otherwise, you ALWAYS go for the 3.5 star rated ones. Why? It's because you know the food's going to be good. You don't go there for service. You don't go there for a wine and dine 5-star experience. You go there for all you can eat food. That's the primary goal. If I rated this based on the 3.5 star theory scale, it would be a 5 star. And guess what I'm gonna do next time I go? I'm going to post a 3 star review so mine averages to 3.5 stars. I literally went to this place purely because it was 3.4 star rated when I checked. This was my first experience. Why is 4-star too high? Because it usually means it's fancier, has higher prices, better service... REMEMBER -- if a buffet is 4 or 5 star rated... it's going to have 4 or 5 star pricing!! That's why you go for the 3.5 star. Not 3, that's too low. Chances of food poisoning start getting out of the comfort zone. When I went here, the staff didn't really bother being nice or smiling. They weren't rude, just not really accommodating. You know what I thought about that? One word. "Perfect." Because I knew it meant the food was about to be good as hell, especially for all you can eat. They only had styrofoam cups and plates, as well as plastic silverware. Yet again, I thought "perfect." Because unlike some other reviews, I remind myself I'm literally in a strip mall Asian buffet in Wisconsin. I'm not at a Michelin star restaurant. I am here to stuff myself all you can eat. And you know what? The food was delicious. Even better, this restaurant does not put butter in their rice or noodles. Typically, Asian buffets will put a LOT of butter in the fried rice and/or noodles because it makes you fuller even faster. This restaurant does not do that. They don't cheat their way to having you eat less. The food is what you come here for. Not amazing service. Not presentation. Not to be wined and dined. You come here to stuff yourself. This is why the 3.5 star theory is the way to go ladies and gentlemen. And, of course, with 3.5 star rating, I got 3-star pricing. $30 for my wife and I to eat here. No food poisoning. No out of budget dinner date. If you don't believe the 3.5 star theory, I challenge you to try it. Compare the 3-stars with the 4-stars next time you go out. I promise you the 4-stars are on the pricier end. Sure it's "nicer" in theory but the 3-stars carry too much risk. With 3.5 you get the pricing of a 3 without the risk. Sure the service isn't the 4-star level but again, you're not going here for service! You're going here to have all you can eat and pig out!

Where we sat at the bar, we were able to see the kitchen and our food (and others) begin prepared which was fun to see (and also nice from a transparency standpoint). Let me tell you--they are hustling in that kitchen! I began with a berry smash whiskey cocktail which was refreshing and fantastic. For my dinner, I got the bbq salmon which came with a salad to start and rice and asparagus on the side. Everything was fresh and flavorful. The only small note I had was I would have loved more asparagus but honestly, I could probably ask for a side of that next time to amp up the veggies. The service was lovely and the prices were reasonable. Get to it!

We've done…read morequite a few of these at this point, and we're starting to realize that everyone really seems to love what's convenient, familiar, and what they grew up eating because the range between everyone's favorites hasn't been all that different. Royal Wok has been recommended to us a number of times, but we always have trouble making it there because they're only open 4-8 PM, Tuesday through Saturday. We finally made it happen! We like ordering combos so we can try a little bit of everything, so we started with the General Tso's Chicken and Pepper Steak. Both were okay, but neither really stood out to us. We also got a combo with Shrimp Fried Rice and Sweet & Sour Chicken. They put the sweet & sour sauce on the side, so without it, the chicken is basically Chinese fried chicken. The shrimp fried rice was good, and the chicken pieces were SUPER big, but the chicken itself didn't have much flavor. Once we added the sauce, it definitely helped. The sweet & sour sauce is very ketchup-forward. Not bad, but definitely not our favorite. We also had to try the Royal Appetizer Platter, which came with a cream cheese wonton, Chinese fried chicken, shrimp, pork and veggie egg rolls. The cream cheese wonton was STUFFED, and the shrimp & pork egg roll was super big and packed with flavor. That was probably one of our favorite bites of the meal. We also tried the Szechuan Chicken, which was recommended to us since we don't usually order it. Unfortunately, this one didn't really taste like much either. Overall, everything was SUPER fresh and the portions were generous. We didn't have anything that was bad, but for us, there just wasn't enough flavor or anything that really made us say, "Damn, that's slappin!" Maybe we're spoiled by some of the other Chinese takeout spots we've tried, but Royal Wok just wasn't one we'd make a special trip back for. Have you tried Royal Wok? What did we order wrong?!
