    a plate of food with rice and shrimp
    Kaci F.

    It may be smaller, but I think Main Tin has one of the best buffets around. The wontons are thick and full.of cheese. They are a winner in my book. All of the food is nice and fresh. The employees are kind, helpful, and talkative. Buffet and a Coke was under $14 for lunch. I highly recommend if you are in the South Chaeleston area. You won't regret it!

    Ordered delivery. Lots of it! Just like grocery shopping, don't order food when hungry, lol. Although, that is the point of ordering food. The man on the phone repeated my order back for accuracy and even asked if I wanted chow mein (what I asked for) or lo mein ( what I wanted, after he explained). Food arrived hot and fresh. Everything was as ordered. All boxes had written on them what they were, so it was easy to distribute food. They even included a box labeled FREE and it contained 10 donuts. Oh my. Deliciousness! Excellent service all around! Thanks

    We had opportunity for Overnight stay near here and yelped Chinese restaurants. We had a back up plan but choose to proceed into here as there was a medium amount of people going in. The outside of the building is in need of a bucket of water and soap along with the entranc. There are Huge Fish in a way to small fish tank. I'm saying this from being a pond owner a few years. Service was polite. It is all you can eat. Again some washing of glass dividers or air freshener to cover 'old smell' would add to better atmosphere. Choices good. Niece liked sushi.

    This place is absolutely horrendous. My first plate consisted of overcooked shrimp that looked like it sat there all morning and mushy imitation crab that was grey on the white outside. It was disastrous. The food looks like as if it's just been sitting here for hours and hours; rather than replace it, they serve it. Disgusted! Will not be back.

    Yum

    Best Chinese around. Buffett is outstanding. Pricing is fair and they deliver almost anywhere. We eat from Main Tin all the time.

    I think it is the best Chinese food in the area. Great food. I must say the take out or delivery is better than the buffet side.

    Hi everyone. Hope you are well. I've got a story to share about a local restaurant…read more I ordered pickup at Golden Wok in Nitro, WV today. I brought my youngest daughter with me into the restaurant to get the food. My daughter is non-verbal autistic and makes audible sounds on a regular basis. She was doing this in the restaurant as I was paying and getting our food. The young man taking my order stared at my daughter, which is a common thing. When I gave him my credit card, he didn't look at me. He continued to stare at my daughter. He then addressed me. "Sir; when you come to restaurant, can you not bring her in? She is making random sounds." I didn't say anything for a few seconds. Then he said the same thing again. I let him know that she won't be back, that I won't be back, and I'll do my best to make sure that l tell as many people as possible about this so that they won't get food from Golden Wok in Nitro, WV. The young man didn't say anything, then gave me my receipt to sign. I got my food and left. I'm still pretty angry. When I returned home, I called Golden Wok in Nitro, WV and asked to speak to a manager. I got a manager and let them know what happened, asked if this was a restaurant policy to not allow non-verbal autistic people who make "random sounds" into the restaurant, and, if so, would make sure to inform as many people as I can. The person I talked to on the phone said that is it not a policy to discriminate, apologized, said it would be addressed with staff, and would check with the owner if this was indeed a restaurant policy. I haven't received a call from the owner yet and it's been over an hour since my phone call. I'm don't think I'm getting that call. So if you're still reading this, im asking you to not order food from Golden Wok in Nitro, WV. I will not be ordering from them again. Have a great rest of your weekend.

The fresh Shrimp Chow Mein was so incredible that we were fighting over it, lol. The Beef broccoli was delicious and the sweet and sour shrimp was beyond yummy. But let me tell about their Fried Crab Rangoons. I almost fainted. I think I bit someone getting to the last one. THE BEST CRAB RANGOONS EVER! Seriously I'm not kidding. Call them, they deliver nomm nomm

    I was really craving a sushi roll and knew I could grab one here. I also got the 2 entree meal…read morebecause I was absolutely starving. I had to go to the mall to get an eye exam and needed a quick foodie fix. It was delicious and huge portions. Sushi roll, 2 entree meal, drink, and yum yum sauce was $21. But honestly, I got enough for multiple meals. My leftovers will be lunch tomorrow. My son loves this place. Usually, I opt for pizza. However, I'll definitely grab some food here again!

    I ate here on Wednesday afternoon when they first opened. I got sesame chicken and rice. I sat down…read moreand began eating my food while talking to my husband. Part way through I looked down and realized the chicken was discolored and gray looking. It didn't smell or taste foul. By 315a Thursday I began violently vomiting, diarrhea, headache, extreme abdominal pain, low grade fever. I have no doubt in my mind that it came from there. I'm the only one in my family who ate there and no one else has been sick in my home. I lost 7lbs in 5days. I ended up in the ER for fluids and antibiotics. My 1st red flag should have been all the drinks and crap piled up on the counters. There's no way they can properly clean and disinfect surfaces. My guess they took the leftover chicken from the night before, didn't store it probably overnight and reserved it the following day at open. I will never ever eat here again. Yes, I called the health dept to report the issue. Save yourself and stay away from this place. I'm only giving a 1 star review because it makes you. Otherwise I'd give 0 stars.

    Diners Beware--- we were at Ichiban within the last week and saw the back bar crawling with…read moreROACHES. At least 2-3 within eyesight scrambling on the bartenders receipts and the circling the heat from the music/video system all night. There's no way they weren't noticed by the staff as well. The service was okay, but the restaurant reeked of ammonia. The edamame tasted old/dry, the teriyaki salmon wasn't bad, the dumplings tasted good according to my husband but he ended up getting sick later. Not sure if it was the dumplings or just the thought of seeing cockroaches as we were trying to have dinner. The people working there were nice enough, but we won't ever come back.

When I first walked in, I thought I might be in the wrong place because it looked more like an Irish Pub than it did a Japanese restaurant. There is the first bar area and then you can go to the other side where the main dining area is. In the back they have an area for private larger group dining, as well. I decided to sit at the bar in the main dining area. The waitress was friendly and helpful in recommending some of their more popular dishes. I decided to start things off with a little seaweed salad. I was surprised with the portions. I've never had this much salad. It was fresh and delish! For my main course, I ordered the Mongolian filet and a few specialty sushi rolls my waitress recommended. Two of the rolls were good, but one was way too salty to eat. The Mongolian filet wasn't what I expected but it was ok. I was expecting the more traditional Mongolian brown sauce, but this didn't compare to any Mongolian sauce I've ever had. I eat a lot of Asian cuisine and I just felt it didn't taste that Asian to me. Having said that, the filet bites were well cooked and tender. Overall, I enjoyed my experience. I'd order the Dragon Maki roll again, but I would probably try some different items the next time I visit.
