It has been a few years since I have enjoyedChina Super Buffet. Before it was hot no AC, but food…read morewas good. It has improved quite a bit now that they finally have air conditioning. Before, it could be tough to eat there on a hot day, but the dining experience is much more comfortable now. The selection is pretty good, and the food is a great value for the price point. The sushi is fresh, the made-to-order food is good, and there are enough choices to satisfy most buffet cravings. It is not a high-end seafood buffet--crab legs and a few other seafood favorites would really help elevate it--but for what you pay, it is an excellent deal overall.

Went for dinner around 5pm and it was already fairly busy. I somehow managed to make my way through…read moreabout 3-4 plates (or at least attempted to lol), so I got to try a pretty good variety. I started with the sushi, which honestly isn't bad for a Chinese buffet. Obviously you're not coming here expecting sushi-restaurant quality, but there's a decent selection, it always looks clean and nicely presented, and they have plenty of sauces available--soy sauce, wasabi, spicy mayo, etc. Most of the rolls I tried were decent and it's usually a good way to start. Next I had some egg drop soup with wonton strips. Unfortunately, the soup was pretty bland this time and definitely needed some salt. My next plate was mostly fried items--salt & pepper wings, cream cheese wonton, egg roll, gyoza, fried squid, some battered pork, plus one of the baked green mussels. This was probably the biggest disappointment of the visit because almost everything was barely warm. I was surprised considering it was dinner time, the restaurant was fairly busy, and the trays didn't look empty. The baked green mussels were easily one of the better things I tried, and the fried squid was probably next. Both actually had good flavor. Most of the other fried items were lacking seasonings, and having them barely warm definitely didn't help. I ended up leaving quite a bit of that plate behind. Since that plate was kind of a bust, I went back for some chow mein, broccoli beef and orange chicken, along with more squid and mussels since those had been the winners so far. The broccoli beef was okay. The brown sauce was just missing a little something, but mixed with the chow mein it worked. The orange chicken was another letdown--it was missing that sweet, tangy flavor you normally expect from orange chicken. Service was about what I'd expect from a buffet. They kept an eye on drinks and were generally pretty quick about clearing used plates, which I appreciated. I still haven't tried the Mongolian grill, which might actually be the better way to go here since you pick your ingredients and have everything cooked fresh. If I come back, that's probably what I'll try next. They also have ice cream and your typical Chinese buffet-style desserts. I didn't really get into those this time because, surprisingly, I was DONE by that point. I did notice the ice cream cone area seemed pretty picked over/empty. As far as the restaurant itself, it's nothing fancy and it's been around for quite a while. It was also pretty warm inside during this visit, which definitely isn't ideal when it's already hot outside. I didn't use the restroom, so I can't speak to that. Overall, there were really only a couple of things I found genuinely tasty enough that I'd specifically want again--the baked green mussels and fried squid were the standouts, and the sushi was decent for what it is. Otherwise, too much of what I tried was either lacking in flavor or barely warm, which was disappointing during a busy dinner hour. It's probably somewhere I'd consider again in a pinch, especially on a hot day when nobody wants to cook and you just want a lot of different options without spending a ton. But based on this visit alone, there are other buffets in the surrounding area where I've had better overall quality. I may come back at some point to finally give the Mongolian grill a try, and if the food is fresher/hotter and the experience is better, I'd definitely update my review.

Heard about this place from Gareth Eats and Marvelous Muncher, they did not lead me astray! My wife and kid can be pretty picky. For the amount of food we ordered, we would usually have leftover, but we finished the whole thing! * 2 lbs of chicken - so juicy, great taste, especially with that BBQ sauce. My wife usually complains that BBQ is so salty, or too vinegary, not this time. She loved it! * Mac and cheese - Creamy! Cheesy! Good! * Coleslaw - fresh, I think there's a light vinaigrette. I usually like mayo on mine, but I can see how this pairs better with the rest of the food. * Potato Salad - solid, not too salty as well. Just right! * Beans and Rice - I think I should've gone large on this one. So good! * Peach Cobbler - legit. Warm. Peachy. Cobblery. * Sweet Potato Pie - I was surprised, because I usually am not a fan of sweet potato. Tasty, not too sweet! Mr. Coop checked in with us once in a while to make sure we're all good, stopped by and gave me a sample of the bacon. Sweet, real tasty! I'm excited to come back and try the ribs and brisket! Smelled so good coming in!

This place is sooo good! The lunch rush is definitely a…read morerush but it's a given as to why, this place is delicious. A bit noisy as there's sooo many tables just back to back all around each other, so you can hear everybody around. Large room with servers that go around in carts with all the dumpling menu options and all you do is say yes to all the ones you need and it's served right then and there, how convenient! Unlike most AYCE dumpling places, their portions here are fairly large and definitely shareable. So pick responsibly, but then again, you are able to take home leftovers. Leftovers are the best though, right? This was my first time with a large group of friends and let our main host choose all she thought was good as most of us were first timers and she's been there several times and every choice was definitely not a disappointment. I'll definitely come back to share an updated review on more food in specifics! I hardly took enough photos as we were having a great time and just went all in on the food!

If you are looking for an authentic Cantonese restaurant : be warned: don't come here. The best so…read morefar has been the Nobel Chef and a close second would be the Imperial Dynasty. If you don't know what Cantonese cuisine is then stop reading now. The waitress was nice but you can't fix "stupid". We wanted to order a combination meat dish half bbq pork and half steam chicken. This is a common offering at all Cantonese restaurants . But instead of getting what we ordered.. we got a whole big plate of steamed chicken a a big plate of bbq pork. I made them take back the pork and not to charge us for it. The next thing we ordered was pan fried seafood noodles, standard Cantonese fried noodle dish with Chinese broccoli, chunks of fish, shrimp and squid. Well there were only 3 pieces of shrimp 2 pieces of squid and the rest was a lot of chunks of fish. The fried noodle underneath the seafood should be drenched in a delicious sauce, but it was not so the noodle was very dry. Makes you wonder where they got the cook from. The last dish we ordered was stir fried water spinach. The spoilage itself but the poured way too much salt on it. And lastly... the bill... $90. I really don't mind paying $80 to $120 for a dinner for two. But this place does not have the server or the guy in the kitchen justify the price. Very disappointed. I don't know how long they've been in business.. but I guess you can get away with a lot these days. We're always looking for authentic Cantonese restaurants if you know of any more please let me know. Meanwhile... we'll just stick with Nobel Chef, Imperial Dunasty, and the occasional dim sum at Golden Island.""

It was great BBQ. This is a local shop who knows what they're doing. Tried their ribs, brisket and…read moretri tip. The highlight of the meal is definitely their brisket, nice amount of BBQ sauce, tender yet crispy bark and very juicy. Their ribs are also great and the fall of the bone type, better than something like Phil's BBQ honestly. And their tri tip is also good, but the brisket outshines it. Food is definitely not cheap, but a good BBQ place is usually not on the cheap side anyway. It's on par with other BBQ place but done really well. Server is also very kind and attentive, but place does looks a bit old, the table is a bit worn, but doesn't change how good the food tastes so I'll give it a pass. A nice place to watch games too if you're into it. Looking forward to go back to this place again one day

It was good BBQ! The…read moremenu is simple and straight forward which is always appreciated. We asked if the combo plates were large enough to share (2 people) and were told it was. The #3 combo was great. Rib tips with our additional meat choice being the half rack of pork ribs. Meat was nice and tender. Not dry at all. The side of beer battered onion ring were a little over done but very addicting none the less. Cornbread and slaw were subpar but not a deal breaker for this place. The beans were also not overly sweet and very good with the meat. Staff was friendly and helpful and coming to watch the football game was nice. Not overly crowded and everyone there seemed to be enjoying themselves. We will surely be back!

I finally made it over to try what they are calling Filipino fusion and I walked away so impressed…read more My hubby and I ordered their Güd Burger, Kare Kare bowl and churro to share. This might honestly be my favorite meal. Even if it's quite a drive from San Diego, it was well worth it in my opinion. The Güd Burger completely lived up to the hype. The double Wagyu patties were juicy and full of flavor, the cheese was perfectly melty, and the sweet chili aioli brought everything together. I wasn't sure what to expect from the ube brioche bun, but it added just a hint of sweetness that somehow made the whole burger even better. Nothing overpowered anything else. It all just worked together. The Kare Kare bowl was generous in the Kare Kare, which I appreciated. The physical bowl felt too small compared to the amount they gave us! I'm glad I was sharing this with someone else because I was already full halfway through the bowl. We had to order the ube churros as well...don't skip this! The dipping sauce it came with was so good. I kept dipping my churro into it too because it was that good. The churro was crunchy without being dry. This whole meal was one of those meals where you don't want it to end. It was my first time here and we waited 45 minutes for our food to be ready because of how busy it was. Some people ordered ahead of time so they skipped the wait altogether. The restaurant itself is quite small but we were lucky enough to snag a seat after rush hour. There are less than 10 tables for eating in. Restaurants like this are worth supporting because you know it's a small business and the food tastes like it's made out of love! Already planning my next visit.

Ok, so this is an updated review. I gave them a 1 star on my 1st review because the 1st time I went…read morethey weren't open during their listed hours and the 2nd time I went almost their entire menu was unavailable. I rolled the dice and went there for a third time at around 11:15am because I happened to be in the area. And...they were open and their menu had pretty much all the items available. What a great start!! I ordered pork lumpia and their Gud Burger. The pork lumpia was standard fare - freshly fried and delicious like most lumpias. The Star of the show was the Gud Burger and boy did it shine brightly! 2 Smashed American Wagyu Patties, Sweet Chill Crisp Aioli, Butter Pickles, Pickled Red Onions, White American Cheese, in an Ube bun. Plain and simple, all the flavors came together for burger perfection. The patties were perfectly fried, the aioli flavor was on point, the fried garlic was a chef's kiss. I loved it! Because of the 2 previous visits I could only give Tambayan 4 stars in good conscience, otherwise, it would definitely have been 5 stars. I will definitely be back for more and hopefully it's a repeat of this last visit.

Honestly, I don't know what changed, but whoever was the opening kitchen shift today (August 13th), you need to know that it was the BEST meal we've received from Y&Y. So much so that I actually had to come to Yelp and leave a review, it was that good. Usually our dishes would come with so much oil that we would have to drain off the excess; not today. Today's dishes were not only cooked beautifully with spices in it that I had never even tasted in the dish before, but there was no layer of oil that our food would have been swimming in. It was wonderful I usually get the vegan chana masala and sometimes in the past it would taste like there may have been some sort of butter in it (or perhaps ghee) and maybe whoever was cooking it didn't know not to use it, but this time around it didn't give me that taste and actually tasted dairy-free, which put my mind at ease. All-in-all, we will be coming back and hoping we get this cook again because it was just so so good

My husband got the chicken tikka masala, with garlic naan and a mango lassi. The mutter paneer tasted under seasoned with no distinct flavor, the paneer felt like didn't absorb any seasonings at all.

Both were heavy (butter/heavy cream based). The mango lassi was surprisingly the most balanced I ever had. They are usually over sweet but this one was just right. If I return I would order something different.

The ox tail wasn't tough but I thought could be much softer, id have braised it for another 45 minutes or so. It came with some veggies that it was braised with. The beef ribs I believe were oven baked. They were Smokey and the BBQ sauce on the sweet side. I wish it was more tender. Maybe roast them covered first? The collard greens you can order them cooked in chicken, pork or vegan (no protein) I got them with pork, it was tender and flavorful. I'd try the vegan version next time. I also got a fried chicken wing which was tender and freshly fried. But the batter wasn't too crispy. It was a whole wing, flat, brunette and tip. Most of the food is all in heating trays, cafeteria style. I think if you order fried fish it's made to order. There are a few tables and a TV inside. You can look at the food behind the counter but you need to order at the register first. When the order goes in that's how the other person knows what to plate up. Be aware there's a 3% service fee if you use a credit card. So bring cash if you can.

We did three rounds and the staff brought everything out quickly without 'forgetting' items to slow us down. It's in a strip mall on El Cajon Blvd so parking can be a little tight during peak dinner hours, but for the price and quality, it definitely hits the spot. Will definitely be back.
