    a plate of rice, meat, and vegetables
    Barry B.

    I have an almost dangerous willinginess to try chinese food in random strip mall joints. I was in OC for a work event, and had some time to do nothing useful. So I hit up Yelp. Within reasonable distance, the results led me here. This Chinatown buffet, was in a perfectly run down, pass through town strip mall. Most people likely never look left and right screaming past at 70+ mph (speed limit is 50) in these kind of towns. People talk about flyover, perhaps we need to add a term like "race by". Anyway, I got a pork kung pao and wings. I was happy, I was stuffed. It was exactly what I expected, food, lots of it at a reasonable price, salty, not great, not bad- just good belly filling. I would come back.

    Lime in with clams.

    Place was huge and quiet with a great selection of dishes including hibachi. Plenty of servers who are very attentive and take care of drink refills and taking used plates off the table. Many TV's showing numerous channels. We live about 30 minutes away in Delaware and this place is definitely worth the trip.

    The food is good 'for the Price's. The waitresses should pay more attention to the patrons than their mobile devices!

    Ginger House is among our small collection of restaurants in Salisbury on our "preferred" list. It…read moreis one that we refer friends and family to for a reliable quality experience. Our most recent visit demonstrates: Meal for two included the featured "Oh My God Roll." Upon serving wifey and I spontaneously exclaimed "Oh My God!" Its presentation was beautifully artistic. The unique combination of ingredients was amazing - each part such as salmon or shrimp offering well-defined unique flavor, yet the roll combination with other ingredients resulted in a collective flavor and mouth feel that was both satisfying yet leaving us wanting more. This is a dangerous combination for those seeking to minimize caloric intake. Sigh. Well, we tucked into the OMG roll before taking a photo so images presented only show a portion. Yes, the pieces are huge! It was tempting to devour a single piece in one bite, yet that is not our style. We carry a special pocket-knife for such situations to carve and share bite-sized pieces. If you wish, the kitchen can provide a sharp knife for this purpose. Note: Rice is an overlooked major contributor to a roll's success. In the case, it was delicately sweet with optimal (to us) chew that made it worth eating alone. Yum! Also - The Ginger House is exceptionally generous with wasabi and picked ginger condiments. Wow! Half the portions offered would have been more than sufficient for us. We hated to see anything wasted, even these items, so we took a lot home, but not everything. The OMG roll alone was sufficient for a normal meal, however we enthusiastically over-ordered by adding a Sexy roll, an order of House Lo Mein, and a Chirashi with salad and hot soup. Most of these added dishes were packaged to take away! With water to drink, the total bill was $94 plus tip. This was a reasonable price for us as with leftovers two of us enjoyed three meals each (6 total)! Results for others will vary of course. Hint: If dining in, order conservatively as you can always ask for more, or make a separate order for take away. The dining area was clean and service by Collean was pleasant and professional. I especially appreciated her constant smile and willingness to laugh genuinely at our corny jokes. The atmosphere is tastefully Asian influenced. Booth seat cushions were soft yet resilient, and the glass partitions offer some sense or privacy yet they did not offer exceptional sound deadening as details of nearby conversations were detectable. The restrooms were clean and free parking was ample in the strip mall lot. Overall, this seems a reliable place for family gatherings, business meetings, or even a date. The menu is sufficiently varied to accommodate vegetarians, and based on our questions the kitchen staff are capable magicians who enjoy experimentation and accommodating special requests. We'll be back.

    Overpriced, small portions, long wait time, food and staff are mid grade at best. Asian food is my…read morefavorite to eat and cook. I have traveled my entire life and have eaten at hundreds of Asian restaurants all over the country. The prices here are higher than major city prices!!!

    Name: Flaming Grill and Buffet…read more Type of Cuisine: Asian American. Atmosphere: Oriental Subdued with a big dash of American Buffet. Service: This is a buffet so serve yourself. The Food: I would not call this Chinese but American with an oriental slant. More than half a dozen heaping tables recede into the distant middle of the space ending in a grill area where you can get made-to-order items. Items on the lunch tables when I visited included steamed shrimp, small steamed clams, baked salmon, French fries, pizza (you can see not all the food is Asian or Cantonese), hot and sour soup (excellent with matchstick vegetables and just enough bite), egg drop soup, sweet and sour chicken, Buffalo wings, Chinese string beans, macaroni c and cheese, chicken with broccoli, General Tso's chicken, stuffed mushroom caps, carefully presented colorful sushi, cakes, ice cream. The groaning board offers something for everyone. The evening version can include snow crab legs, crawfish, lobster and raw beef. I appreciate the attempt to meet American gastronomic sensibilities, but I mourn that many fine Chinese options may get crowded off the steam tables. Children: Surely a child can find something edible on a buffet that includes macaroni and cheese, pizza, fries, cakes and ice cream. Vegetarian Options: Salad bar, some sushi, a grill you can walk up to and ask for made to order. Lots of options here. Alcohol: none. Expense Account: Figure about fifteen dollar per person.

I would not and will not be returning to this place ever again. The host is like a robot. The ambiance was dirty, dingy, so you can really see the place. The bathrooms were clean. Oh forgot to mention, the food was cold, below holding especially the salmon. The soups had film on top, which means no one stirred them or refreshed them. This was a BIG HELL NO! My visit was on a Monday, not sure what it is like on the rest of the days.

Everything was great! The egg rolls were so good and the portion sizes were great! Not a lot of places in Salisbury make a good General Tso's. This place does it right and gives you A Lot! This is speaking for the dinner portions. Ordering is easy online and they let you make requests, for example I hate onions and asked for no onions and they listened! Any place that has a well thought out and put together online ordering process is a winner in my book. The food was great, flavorful and cooked just right. Again, you get a lot for a decent price. I can tell this is a family owned establishment and the mother running the counter was FANTASTIC! She was super friendly and the daughter taking phone orders was nice as well. The mother gave us a free container of mango cake which was excellent and very appreciated. I think we may have gotten it for spending over $50 or maybe just because I was friendly. Regardless of why, it's little things like this that make an impression and make me want to give this place my business more frequently. This is what AI can never replace, the human touch to customer service that makes people want to support a business. Thanks to the Dragon family for making a simple evening dinner a great experience! We will be back!
