Fried Rice

Hard pass. You can tell a lot about a place by the way the food looks. They DO NOT clean and devein their shrimp. That's shrimp POOP under the fried shrimp batter. Disgusting. I've also never had yellow fried rice before. Usually soy sauce makes it brown. It was dry and flavorless. No thank you $10 to throw it away. The Diet Coke was cold though. The decor hasn't been updated since the 80s.

JUMBO Buffet is one of the best buffets I have had over my lifetime…read more It is a bastion of Mount Pleasant dining. My children and I still dream of eating there: Crab legs on special nights. Barbecue pork skewers. Withered green beans. Fluffy fried donuts. Stuffed mushrooms. We live in Phoenix, Arizona and miss you so much.

Whew! I finally made it into this place…read more Ok 4th July 2025 11:30 am prime time Pay as you enter. Holiday price just under 15 bucks. Smells good as you enter! Small buffet not what I was expecting Ok on to the food First small plate samples: White Rice and lomein noodles And sample a bit of everything Plastic plates and plastic silverware Big butterfly jumbo shrimp silver dollar size! No shrimp sauce Real good as is! The chicken pot stickers were spot on perfect! Rice was spot on jasmine rice awesome flavor! Lo mein wow outstanding! I could have made a meal out of those two things! Chicken broccoli check! And good Steak and onions with green peppers check but I only did the steak and onions as green peppers are not an out of town road food for me Really good Some cashew chicken I did not see any nuts but it was a little warm on the spice Egg drop soup well mine is better lol But a dash of soy sauce to flavor it And was ok. Second trip more of the same. Hot day so just the small sampling Drinks are serve yourself and included in the 15 dollar price Yea I would stop again if I was in the area But not a destination place for me

Some of the best Thai I've had!…read more We were in the middle of a cross country trip, looking for dinner. Review looked really good so we decided to give it a try First, this small downtown restaurant is beside the theater and easy to miss. There was no apparent sign. On entering, it's clear the owners are taking COVID restrictions seriously. Every other table has a sign not to use the table and everything is very clean. We were served promptly and our waiter anticipated and provided everything we could ask for. We shared spring rolls which were beautifully prepared and presented, fresh and delicious. My husband ordered Seafood Pad Thai and I had the Drunken Noodles. Both were excellent. The portions were such that we'll have enough to have at home tomorrow after a long trip. Be sure to give them a try if you're in the area.

We both ordered the garlic chicken. The menu described the dish with snow peas, mushrooms, water…read morechestnuts, carrot and onion. Sounds delicious, right? However, it was mainly chicken and onions with a few carrot slices. Unfortunately, there were no snow peas, mushrooms or water chestnuts. It had good flavor, however my rating is lower because I specifically ordered this dish for all the vegetables and was very disappointed. The crab wontons were good and filling. The spring rolls were good, but they contained sliced chicken which we were not expecting. They came with plain chopped peanuts instead of a peanut sauce which was also disappointing.

Summary: Not busy for Saturday night, friendly and attentive server, affordable place, cold food,…read moredip your own ice cream and slice your own meat stations, more desserts than main courses, abandoned stir fry station with raw chicken left out in open, hand dryers in bathrooms with no automated sink faucets. TLDR version: First impressions: I was nervous when we pulled up at 5:00 pm on a Saturday night and there were only four cars parked anywhere near this restaurant, which is located in a strip mall. A few other customers arrived after us, but it was not nearly as busy as I expected it to be. There was no wait, and we were seated immediately in a booth in their large dining room. I'm used to paying before eating at a buffet, but this place doesn't charge until you're ready to leave. Subtotal for 3 of us (two waters and one soda) was $49, so about $15/person. First, the good: We had a very friendly server who was very attentive with refills and clearing plates. She asked multiple times if we were doing okay or if we needed anything. We tipped well because of the excellent service. Now the bad: I walked around the buffet tables before deciding what to try. The salad bar was disappointing because it only had iceberg lettuce, not even romaine, just a chopped up head of lettuce. There was an assortment of fried chicken: sesame, orange, sweet-n-sour, etc. There was a roast in a pan with a large knife laying next to it, which you were expected to slice yourself. There was a pan of fried rice, green beans, and crab rangoon. There was no steamed rice available. A small selection of sushi was at a large station along the wall. The same station had what appeared to be ingredients for a fresh stir fry: raw chicken in a bowl, along with an assortment of raw vegetables, but the flattop grill next to it was off, and it didn't appear that anything was going to be cooked anytime soon. We were there an hour, and all of that food, including the raw chicken, just sat there. There was an enormous selection of desserts. In fact, there were more desserts than anything else. A huge table was filled with an assortment of fruits, puddings, and gelatins. Another table was filled with an assortment of cookies and petite cakes. There was also a large assortment of ice cream in a deep freezer. You were expected to dip it yourself with provided scoops, which were sitting in a tiny sink well with a trickle of water running over them. I tried some of the various chicken, most of which was cold. A couple of sweet-n-sour chicken pieces were warm, but a third piece was so fatty I could not finish eating it. I tried a couple pieces of sushi, which were just okay. I ended up eating mostly fruit: strawberry-glazed bananas, apricots, some peaches, and a few pieces of broccoli. Restrooms: The women's restroom was clean; however, they have no paper towels. They have hand dryers, but the sinks are not automated, so most people are probably using their dirty hands to turn the knobs on the faucets and then touching them again to turn them off. (I used my elbow, and I used my shirt's hem to open the door.) Overall, I would not want to go there again. I would suggest they make various improvements, and they could even raise their prices a little bit to compensate. This place has nice potential, and I feel it could do really well with some changes.
