    Pad Thai

    I ordered the chicken and shrimp pad Thai, and it was hands down the worst pad Thai I've ever had. There was no sauce on the noodles at all--just plain noodles, and at the bottom of the container was literal water. The chicken and shrimp were completely flavorless, as if they weren't seasoned or cooked with anything. It tasted like boiled noodles with protein tossed in at the end. I actually brought it back to the counter, which I never do. The host asked if I'd ever had pad Thai before, and I told them yes--plenty of times--but this was by far the worst. I also never leave reviews, but this experience was bad enough that I felt I had to.

    Two Season Maki... delicious!

    Gourmet Garden is a frequent choice for us for Saturday lunch... their wonton soup is excellent, different and better than their location in Beverly. I usually get salmon sashimi and it's always been very fresh and flavorful. Nice selection d sushi rolls as well and great Chinese food choices...

    I have never been to this place before. Always willing to try somewhere new. I still have yet to find really yummy Chinese food. I love sushi and will try just about anything. The spicy Salmon Naruto was fresh and tasty, and the sunset blvd sushi was also refreshing it did not need soy sauce. The lobster sauce threw me for a loop with peas and carrots, I've never had it like that before. I wouldn't get it again, to say the least. The Rangoon, those tasted like they were cooked then frozen and re heated, they were not hot at all and rather rubbery. The Spare ribs in the appetizer plate were the best part of it. The scorpion bowl, nothing special, it was a pretty standard scorpion bowl. Last but not least the highlight of the entire meal was the hot and sour soup, I can say that is probably one of the best ones I have had. I'd go back for that.

    Two days prior to writing this review, a YouTube channel by the name of "Company Man" posted his…read morevideo essay called "The Rise and Fall (...and rise again) of Golden Corral." Which prompted two things in my brain: 1.) I haven't been to a Golden Corral in years (not since living in Texas, at least); and 2.) I should look to see where the closest one is to me. Lo and behold, turns out...my original assumptions of the nearest one most likely being somewhere in northern Mass were incorrect. There is, in fact, a newly renovated GC right in our midst - in good ol' Manch Vegas! And man, have they upgraded! It would seem there is a great deal of truth in that video essay by Company Man. Because it appears over the years, the management at GC have been hard at work upgrading the ever popular buffet restaurant. Not only are both the dining area and buffet room completely contemporary by 2025 standards; the payment system is updated as well. See, in the past, I usually had to endure the "joy" of making sure to have small bills on my person so that I could aptly tip the servers. But now...GC did something I *never* expected. In addition to facilitating contactless payment options, they allow you to charge an additional dollar amount of your choosing for the specific purpose of getting cash back to tip your server. This concept is awesome on so many levels that I can't believe more places that charge dining up front don't do this. I've often pointed out in past reviews that if cash tip only restaurants made it easier for customers to tip servers (be it via credit card or cash back), we'd be more willing and able to do it. So, why aren't more places doing it this way? Don't know! ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Now, as you can see from the photos, the dining room and buffet area have been drastically updated. Or at least....since I last visited one years back. The aura is generally brighter as a whole and the tables don't seem as crammed together as before (I suspect, in part, due to the Covid years). Another thing I noticed almost immediately is how the buffet size seems slightly scaled down, whilst still offering a generously vast selection. But again, I'm comparing this to the one I used to visit frequently back in Texas so....take this with a grain of salt (no pun intended). And for those who were wondering, yes - the breakfast still slaps! I didn't notice an omelet station anywhere. Though, I honestly didn't look for one either. It's possible I could have missed it. Oh, GC evidently did away with their traditional trays, too. Just as well, considering they served no purpose in the first place. You still get your drinks immediately upon entry. But I mean, you could always just double fist it if you desire multiple beverages. Since I'm not a huge buffet person these days due to an aging metabolism, I can't say I'd come back here *too* often. But they still are the #1 place I'd visit as far as buffets are concerned. Still holding the top spot in their respective dining category, I'm giving Golden Corral in Manchester 5 generous plates of bacon and eggs out of 5.

    Golden Corral has reopened for business on Thursday April 10, 2025. When they closed back in…read moreSeptember 2024, all of the equipment and furnishings remained in the space, which was a promising sign. There was a change in management at this location. There was a very long line outside of Golden Corral before the grand reopening and ribbon cutting and live DJ outside. The first 100 guests to purchase an adult buffet would receive free buffets for a year, one adult buffet per month, per household, a booklet with 12 free adult buffet certificates, tracked. The layout of the restaurant with the buffet stations and seating areas are still the same. The front area has changed a bit with the drink station crammed near the front entrance, get your drinks first, then pay. This model works at larger Golden Corral with a larger front queuing area, but it is very crowded with the self serve drink station near the front at this location. They also have a dedicated check out line for takeout orders to right. A couple months ago, I was surprised to see the Golden Corral in Manchester was reopening and thrilled that I would not have to trek to Queensbury NY or Springfield MA for Golden Corral. I stopped by Golden Corral in Manchester for the weekday lunch buffet, which was $12.99 plus tax for the adult buffet, got ice water. The buffet has salad stations, hot foods stations, dessert stations, soft serve ice cream machine, Icee machine, but I did not see the chocolate fountain (yet?). I limited myself to three plates and desserts. I enjoyed Spaghetti Pie, Pork Tamales, Fried Chicken, Cheeseburger Slider, Fried Okra, Onion Rings, Meatloaf, Pot Roast, Chicken & Dumplins, Baked Whitefish, Fried Whitefish, Fried Shrimp, Mac & Cheese, Rice Pilaf, Baked Beans, Collard Greens, Zucchini, Green Beans, Mashed Potatoes & Gravy, Seasoned Potatoes, Corn On The Cob, Macaroni Salad, Potato Salad, Seafood Salad, Cole Slaw, Green Salad, Hot Roll, Cornbread, Clam Chowder, Choc Chip Cookie, Cheesecake, Banana Pudding, Bread Pudding, Mini Churros, Peach Cobbler, and Chocolate/Vanilla Soft Serve. While the food is not fancy and this place gets a bad rap on social media sites, the food actually tasted pretty good on this relaunch visit and the multiple staff was on top of clearing my table. The place looked very clean too.

    Flaming Grill & Buffet is a spectacular spot in its price category. In a world where fast food's…read morecost is often double-digit, a weekday lunch at an AYCE spot for $14 is beyond incredible. While food quality on its own is 'meh,' I can confidently say you get more than you pay for! When it comes to food quality, this is mediocre. The General Tso's chicken was great, though that is to be expected with an item heavy on salt, sugar, and fat; almost everything else is instantly forgettable. The sushi, for example, was on the low-tier of supermarket. At the same time, I do want to call out that there was nothing I tried so awful I spat it out. However, in a high volume, ultra-low cost spot, all non-catastrophic quality issues are immediately forgivable. Now, while Flaming Grill doesn't have everything under the sun, the variety is excellent! There are Asian, American, and Japanese dishes, as well as a salad and dessert bar, plus hibachi. While you will not find any oysters on the half-shell, I can confidently say there is something for everyone. Even with my voracious appetite and taking a small amount of what looked interesting to me, I was unable to try everything. When it comes to the service, considering the buffet nature, it was just fine. I absolutely want to award some credit as it was attentive enough that when I moved on to dessert, they knew to bring the check. As for outside my table, food items were kept refilled, as I saw nothing nearly empty. Everything was also kept clean, and no cleanliness issues were noticed. Final verdict: Unfortunately, my taste run a little more fancy than Flaming Grill & Buffet, but that is not an issue with the eatery, but a fact of my becoming bougie? I think? That said, when I find myself in MA, and waiting for the Rental Tesla to charge across the street before returning it, you can bet your serving spoon I will be coming back.

Service was very fast paced, per usual in these types of settings, which is typical for buffets like this. They didn't even let us fully sit down before asking for drink orders, it's actually funny. I asked for a Pepsi but was brought a Sprite-type soda instead, no big deal. Staff came around often to clear plates, so attentiveness was there, but overall the service was fine, not memorable. The food selection had good variety, which was appreciated. Plenty to choose from, making it easy for everyone to find something they liked, and serve themselves, multiple times. Overall, it was a solid buffet experience, nothing out of this world, nothing bad. The holiday pricing, low crowd, and variety made it a decent choice for a casual birthday lunch as requested by the twins.

The tables are adorned with beautiful artwork which was a nice touch and staff was friendly. The biggest negative was a majority of the food being closer to cold than hot and warm. This was disappointing due to us being there at what seemed like a busy time. Also along the lines of the food nothing we had really wowed us either. I would best describe it all as average hence the three stars. The prices were reasonable with the pina colada being under 10, that was a surprise.
