    I had a review on here but it disappeared...... Average tasting food heavily msgd, but did I tell you they have stuffed crabs--all you can eat. It's an average Chinese buffet and some of the chicken dishes like General Tso's are Heavily sauced and look soggy, and I probably wouldn't come back if it weren't for those stuffed crabs. They taste almost as good and crabby just like Pappadeaux's. I don't even care if they have imitation crab in them they taste like crab. GET THE CRABS.............and maybe a little average sushi. If you are a dessert lover, the best dessert bakery place is in Castroville, the alsation bakery--gabes or something like that...to die for...

    The Jade buffet in hondo has always had fresh food. The service is always prompt with filling my drinks. Great place to stop for lunch.

    Fairly typical Asian Buffet. Reasonably priced, clean, good service and delicious crab Rangoon. I would return.

    Had a girlfriends weekday luncheon here and had an enjoyable lunch. I ordered the all you can eat…read moresoup and salad bar, perfect on a fall day. The chicken tortilla soup was fresh, with good amount of chicken and veggies. Cheese and chips were plated on the side. The salad bar had a good variety of veggies, pasta, dressings, and fruit. Honestly I was full after one bowl of soup and salad ! lol wasn't able to take advantage of all you can eat. Service was friendly. They had a great outdoor patio, awesome weekend entertainment. I'll have to check out sometime in the future.

    Came here to celebrate a birthday in the family. Called ahead to reserve a table for five and got…read moreadded to the list without a hitch. I showed up early, of course. If you know Matt Simmons, you know I like to arrive ahead of schedule. Gives me time to soak in the vibe of the place and, more importantly, work on a proper buzz. Got seated immediately, but I'll admit, it took a good 8 to 10 minutes before anyone checked on me. I was sitting there parched and looking like a forgotten extra in a cowboy movie. Once they spotted me though, things turned around fast. Service kicked in, drinks flowed, and all was forgiven. Still would've liked to sneak in a beer or two before I had to start fielding questions about my week at work. Normally I'm a Bud Light guy, but for whatever reason, this felt like a Miller Lite kind of night. You know you made the right choice when each one tastes like it's opening the door to the next. Menus were a bit of a letdown. Flimsy, faded, and borderline sticky. I went searching for fried mushrooms, but the print was so rough it looked like it said "Fred shrooms." A place with this kind of rep should fix that simple detail. Food-wise, I ordered the large pepper steak and took a trip to the salad bar. Gotta give props to the young gentleman working that station. It was spotless, organized, and clearly taken care of by someone who gives a damn. That salad bar had more hustle than some kitchens I've seen. The pepper steak, ordered "hot," packed a solid kick that had me nodding in approval. Not just spice for show, but real flavor that lingers in the best way. Final thoughts: clean place, friendly staff, no surprises on the prices. It's what you expect from a solid steakhouse experience. Not mind-blowing, but dependable, and sometimes that's exactly what you need. Four stars. One for each Miller Lite I wish I had before the table filled up.

    First, it says Kin's on the outside. Maybe it's changed recently? Let's get straight to it. Let's…read moreget the negatives out of the way. The price. It's a little expensive, even for a weekend. You would expect more and better choices for the prices we paid. About $80 for two adults and a midget. They had your typical fare. The least favs-ribs(tough/dry and no flavor), steak(tough and under seasoned), steam buns(the filling just no), bourbon chicken(dry chicken and not enough sauce), and the consensus least fav were all the desserts. There was flying bugs, and everything was super dry and tasted old. I get it, what do expect for a Chinese buffet in San Antonio? Well I expect no flying insects in the desserts for the price I paid. Also, 75 % of the fruit we got was as tough as the steak. Oh, and the cold shrimp, either overcooked or thawed the wrong way. The shell was practically glued on. The positives-all the rice and noodle dishes were good to ok. The hot and sour soup was really good! The teriyaki chicken was actually good. The bigger sauced rib was good. The kimchi was some of the better we've had recently. The spring rolls with peanut were good. The two fish dishes we had(fried and not fried) were actually quite nice. All the breads were good. The waitress was very nice and attentive. Almost forgot, the bathrooms were kinda gross. They need to be kept clean. Will not come back again.

    I love coming here for the crawfish :) you can definitely get your money's worth from just that…read morealone. The buffet options are good, but their general tso's chicken is not the best (and I judge how good overall Chinese buffets on this lol). A surprise hit is the sautéed green beans, which are perfectly cooked and garlicky--just like how you'd find it traditionally cooked in Chinese cuisine. I also think they're deep fried (salt and pepper?) shrimp (next to the crawfish) is very delicious. Plates are cleared pretty quickly and the buffet space is kept orderly and decently clean.
