Yum yum for my tum tum…read more My husband kept asking me if I wanted to go the Chinese Buffet and of course my answer was always, "No". Well this time I'm glad I finally said "Si"! This combination buffet and Mongollian BBQ restaurant will be a hit with everyone in your party. Lots of options to choose from, plenty of fresh seafood to grill or have stir fried by the chef with your choice of sauce (soy, teriyaki or oyster sauce). My little one enjoyed picking out squid, shrimp, calamari, salmon, sushi and even a smily face like tator tot. The standout was the grilled calamari on a stick with lots of pepper and the shrimp salad. Too many favorites to name! Dessert was just a few yummy cookies nothing crazy or wasteful. It gets crowded right away so if you can make it in right before opening time do so! Service wonderful. Wine and beer served. Waiter spoke some English. 20 E pp and 10 E for kids. So it gets pricey when you have to pay for a family. The nice thing is they have a private parking lot and it's not located in the city center. It's just down the street from the bowling alley off the Autostrada. Don't miss this buffet!

A refreshing place after several days of Italian/Sicilian food. Friendly staff and fresh food…read more The fresh seafood order to cook was the best part. Love their fried rice! Very different but delicious comparing to what I usually have from SoCal! Mist visit!!

So since I have been saying "no" each time my husband asks if I want to go to the Chinese…read morerestaurant downtown, I decided I would try it out since he scored big with the Chinese buffet he recommended. We drove thru Catania on a Monday night so it was quiet since most places are closed on Monday's. If you go to eat downtown you will be parking on the street. Hone up on your parallel parking skills. You have to remember Catania was rebuilt after the earthquake and the Mt. Etna lava flow that occured in the16th century which destroyed much of the city, so the city centre is something out of of spooky storybook since some of it dates back to almost the 13th century. A castle can still be found in the middle of town from this era. The Baroque architecture, clotheslines off balconies and sadly vastly spray painted walls gives downtown Catania an eery feeling, especially after dusk. Some parts I swear look like what I would imagine Translvania would look like. Honestly, the only thing missing on this night was a vampire lurking around the corner. By now I was regretting my choice as I walked thru the dark narrow streets. Not to mention the speedy crazy drivers where even driving on the opposite side of the road means nothing. I found that the Italians are never in a hurry except when theyr're driving! So if you're brave enough to drive to Catania do so but at your own risk. The restaurant was nearly empty. Remember Americans eat between 5-8 p.m. and Italians eat between 8-10 p .m. We sat on the part of the restaurant that looked like it may have been a patio so it was a bit drafty. The "interior" portion of the restaurant was dark and had a bar so I'm assuming since we had kids we were sat in the other section which was well lit but chilly. Vast menu, lots to choose from, including fried frog! We ordered some spring rolls and they were mostly filled with cabbage. The sweet and sour sauce looked like ketchup but the flavor was just average, mildly sweet. The rolls didn't taste bad but they were nothing spectacular. We also had some corn soup and that was a hit with my little boy. He also ordered some fried fish and those were really good. The chicken curry was also not bad. I wouldn't order any noodle dishes since most of them are made from spaghetti noodles. We ordered the glass noodles and again just average. This place will satisfy you're need for good Chinese food but like I said nothing outstanding, except the service. We were greeted with a smile, service was speedy and the kids walked away with some cute toy fish magnets.

Chan Sushi Bar is pretty good and gets the job done as far as AYCE sushi! The only "problem" with…read morethis place is it's not located in a central area and there is not much else to do around it. Service was decent and the restaurant was clean. As long as the salmon nigiri is plentiful and delicious, then I'm a happy dude.
