We were in town for the day and my husband was in the mood for Chinese. Despite the bad reviews, we…read moredecided to give this place a try anyway. One, because Chinese buffets always get worse ratings than they should (in my opinion) and second, because the food in the photos looked promising. We came in on a Saturday afternoon for lunch. It was not busy at all, and pretty quiet. Right away, I noticed how clean and updated the atmosphere was. There were plenty of food and hot! I was looking forward to the seafood options but we came in during lunch, so I assumed it was why we had the small selection to choose from. Even with the little variety that was put out, I didn't have a hard time finding something to eat. The food had flavor and tasted fresh. My kids thoroughly enjoyed their plates (each of my older two, ages 9 and 3, ate about 2.5 plates before jumping onto the mandarin oranges and jello). It's hard to keep my 1 year old happy but the fried rice, chicken on a stick and lo mein kept him pretty satisfied the entire time we were dining in. No screaming or crying, and it was a great family meal. This was one of the few times I wasn't stressing over my kids being too loud etc. My husband thought the food overall was okay, primarily because of the selections. We both have had Chinese food from a lot of buffets all over and this one to me is decent. As long as the food has flavor, isn't over-the-top greasy, and can keep my kids full and happy, it's definitely a win in this mama's book. Our waitress was amazing. She kept our drinks constantly filled and was quick to clear our plates when we finished eating. We did not feel forgotten and were checked on often but not too much, and I felt she did such a great job. I'd love to check out the dinner selection next time for sure.

It is getting harder to find true Chinese buffets. We do not eat at buffets of any type very…read moreoften--my belt line would not like that, lol! However, this location in Morehead City, NC has been a favorite stop-by location for us for over a decade, whenever we are in town! Usually, several of my kids and I are just coming back from 2-3 days of primitive tent camping on Shackleford Banks, where we have to carry in all our own gear, water, and food, and then carry out all our own trash. As hardcore as that may sound, it is addictive in its own way--an experience one pretty much cannot get any other way. That said, by the time our feet hit the mainland, this restaurant is always the first thought in our minds, as we voraciously zoom towards it. We are usually ravenously hungry by that point, and this buffet becomes almost magical to us, as we dive into its extensive variety of hot, fresh foods (when only hours before our only options for days had been mere tuna packs, protein bars, and various jerky)! Over the years, we have never been disappointed with this buffet. While the building (both exterior and interior) is older, not that well maintained structurally, and thus nothing to rave about; yet the establishment overall is sufficiently clean, and the quality and taste of the food is always the star of the show anyway--and consistently so. Granted, full disclosure, after what we do on that island, probably even a cardboard pizza would likely be an improvement and surprisingly appreciated, lol! Still, I do not believe that our judgment is at all impaired when I state that we always look deeply forward to this place and enjoy it greatly, on our way out of town! It is often sort of a reward for toughing it out on the island with meager subsistence supplies for multiple days before. As such, I am grateful this restaurant is here, hope it stays a long time, and truly wish it well. It is always a nice finish-line for us, particularly after a grueling (yet delightful) hardcore island camping adventure!

I have brought this up with management over and over again, reminding them that it's all getting captured in their cc cameras, yet each time they refuse to take any appropriate action about it. Today was by far the worst case; they actually victim-blamed me to colleagues AS IF IT WAS MY FAULT and they also made up baseless excuses as to why I was unfairly mistreated. I will find out the contact info of the owner(s) and pass it on to my legal team very soon.

This place has the best Chinese food in town, my husband and I tried them all. Our favorites are…read moresesame chicken and orange chicken. The egg rolls and shrimp rolls (basically an egg roll with a shrimp at either end) are great too. We usually eat the crab rangoons as a pseudo dessert because they're quite sweet. (For savory crab rangoons try Canton Chinese Restaurant. It was the only thing we liked there.) We've also had and enjoyed the Hunan chicken, Szechuan chicken, and shrimp with mixed veggies. The fried rice is also good. The only dishes we didn't like were the soups as they seemed to lack flavor. It's also fun, if you order in person or get there before your order is ready, to watch them cook the food since you can see into the kitchen from the counter. Everything is cooked fresh unlike the Chinese buffets in town where it sits out for an hour or more before it gets to you. You can taste the difference especially with the breaded chicken dishes: smothered in sauce but still with that perfect amount of crispiness. The family who runs Taste of China is always very nice to us. The couple's son is there doing his homework in the evenings and occasionally helps with translation but we've had no trouble communicating with the owners. Their accent is thick but that is what you would expect at a family owned and operated Chinese restaurant.

He was very quick with the drinks, and brought little side tables to hold the food which was super helpful. We had the butter chicken, the shrimp tikka masala, and the beef biryani. They were all delicious. We asked for medium spice, which was perfect for us. The mint chutney was so good, and surprisingly spicy and the mango chutney was delicious. The poori bread was very tasty but a little greasy and the rosemary naan was great. Definitely recommend.

just really excellent Filipino food in an unexpected place like Jacksonville, North Carolina at…read moreslightly unreasonable value (great for the customer, but makes one question if the business can sustain it when charging so little for so much food). It was the first of three Filipino restaurants we visited on my wife's/my Carolina week long visit, and was the best out of all of them, even though by far it was the least expensive. Driving from Durham NC to Myrtle Beach, my wife and I took a longer route so we could eat at this 'Point-Point' steam table restaurant deep in the South. Steam table means everything is pre-cooked and sitting at a buffet station. The food can suffer in the same way that a buffet can: the food gets old fast and it definitely tastes different if you can get a fresh(er) batch vs one that has been sitting out for a while. We got there about 45 minutes before opening (opens at noon on a Sunday). It's in an isolated strip mall (seemingly in the middle of nowhere), with plenty of parking. As we waited in the car, we saw many prospective customers trying to get in. The doors opened promptly at 12 pm, and we were the 3rd party in line. The order taking process is intentionally slowed to allow the serving of the food to take place not long after it has been ordered and (pre)paid. This did mean that the line went out the door for our entire dine-in visit, and we got to see the make up of the regulars. Everyone was patient: it was very clear that it was mostly locals, coming not because they wanted Filipino food, but because they wanted good tasting food at a good price. It's a small dining area, but the vast majority of people were doing carry-out so there was always some seating available. They use Clover as the POS, and identify themselves as 'Filipino Cuisine'. We got the 3 choice combo plate ($16.99), served with white rice along with a can of coke ($1.99...no soda machine here) and a side of Ukoy ($2.50). There is a 4% surcharge for credit card use. Each choice was the size of a small a la carte portion, and one would have been enough for the two of us for lunch. The food was delivered to your table, and they will bus (or one can self-bus since a garbage can is available and everything is served in disposable containers). Ukoy - shrimp and vegetable fritter - really big piece and made that morning, so was still crispy. I really like vegetable fritters and this version was OK, a bit dry but that's what the accompanying vinegar dipping sauce was for. Pork Adobo - very tender meat, not too much fat, with added onions (what you would expect in a biftek). The amount of saltiness went perfectly with the white rice. Biftek - this had the sabaw of biftek, but the cut was cubed, meaning closer to caldereta. The beef cuts were just excellent (little gristle), very tender. This amount of beef would easily be $20 in a 'nice' Filipino restaurant. Pork Sinigang - really good, just the way I like it. Wasn't overly sour, with plenty of vegetables and generous amount of pork. The broth had definitely been skimmed of grease, resulting in a dish that was more homemade (where time is taken to do the skimming) than other turo-turo places I've been. Looking over the menu can tell you about the competition in the area, and it looks like Vietnamese Pho is pretty rare in Jacksonville. Turo Turo has Pho on their menu, and even modified their name to highlight it. I've found that many Filipinos like their dishes with all the extracted fat remaining, which makes much of their soup inedible for me (in that context, it's grease, not flavor-enhancing fat). But as noted, their sinigang was good, with most of the pork fat skimmed off the broth...so thinking their Pho is probably pretty good too. We've eaten at many, many Turo-Turo places (so many around where we live), and this place has to be near the top in terms of value and taste. Funny that it's in a place that we wouldn't expect, serving locals that one would expect in the area. Both of us really liked this restaurant, and the plentiful leftovers became our dinner that night with no regrets.
