Waiting for some good food
AJ S.

I've ate here previously years ago and in town decided to come. It hasn't changed on the inside at all. Oldie, but goodie! You come in get seated and to the bar you grab veggies, noodles, meats and then chose your sauces. Once it's done it's pippin hot and delicious. It's served with a side of rice if you'd like. I'm not sure, but I think the same lady is still there from back in the day. Nevertheless, she's just a friendly as she was back then. She makes sure you are happy, full and have enough to drink. It's a buffet style and seriously cheap.

We had not ate here in years but we decided to try it today, was pretty shocked to see 12 dollars plus per person for lunch and 2.30 something for a can of soda, then we saw the price for a child lunch buffe 7+ dollars for a child over 3 years.. that is absolutely ridiculous. There is better food in town for less. Edit: all 3 of us had a crappy stomach after the visit. The little one has had 3 completely soiled diapers since lunch. I would not recommend this place to anyone.

Food is good for the price not the highest of quality but that's a given for the price it's a good cheap all you can eat place.

I really want to give this place more stars, but I couldn't. Let's start with the positive. I live Mongolian. This one has a good variety of vegetables and meat. They have a price for lunch, brunch and dinner. You cannot take any leftovers (pretty standard). The negatives: The dining furniture isn't comfortable. The cooks only cook for one person at a time so it gets backed up (this isn't normal - most cook several at a time). The bathroom smelled like raw sewage. If I'd gone in their prior to my meal I would have left. The food is good. The surroundings need help.

Noodles, shrimp, beef

This place has been in Jacksonville for over 30 years. This place is not for someone who comes to a restaurant wanting beautiful and perfect surroundings. Yes, it's a little run down, but the food is phenomenal. It's a wide variety and selection of veggies and meat that you can put Into your meal surpass any other restaurant. Staff is more than accommodating and very friendly. When we were there, there was a lady that has actually been working there for 30 years. I would rather go to mom and Pop shop. That's a little rundown with amazing food, to patronize over restaurant that has frozen food prepackaged that they put out for their customers

As many reviews have stated, Mai Tai has an amazing variety, so it was probably having a bad day…read morewhen my mother and I visited. We usually go to another Chinese buffet in town, but we always go there! I recommended Mai Tai because we needed something different that day. Plus, there were rows and rows of food. I just knew we would find something even better than the other buffet. Meh. I think they had this coconut chicken or something. I don't remember the exact name, but it was deep-fried chicken pieces covered in a spicy mayonnaise-based sauce. That and the egg drop soup were the only things I enjoyed. Mom liked the corn and the string beans. Of all the food there, that's all we ate. We tried other things, but something was off about the flavor or the way they were cooked. I have no idea. Our server was nice, but obviously in a bad way. We overheard that she had been working for a month and hadn't received her first check. I would be upset, too! Thank goodness she didn't take it out on us. Even if she had, I wouldn't have blamed her. We left a nice tip. Apparently, a lot of family I have no knowledge of visit Mai Tai. A relative, whom I've never met before, walked up to me and asked me if I was so-and-so's granddaughter. I said yes and asked how they could tell. "By your walk." My w a l k. Impromptu family reunion? Blah food? We might visit again. Hopefully with better luck.

Tired, sort of run-down, with no Chinese decor except a little in the front lobby, leftover…read moreremnants of decorations from some previous occupant from years before. The food bar was long and had many choices but the meat dishes had almost no meat in them. Staple items like broccoli and beef had no meat in it that I could see. Most of the food was fired out and some of the dishes that should be hot were very cold. The only dish either of us liked was the thinly sliced BBQ pork which was kind of like jerky but it was still good. They even got my drink messed up, I asked if they had Coke ZERO, and they said yes. What they served could not even be described as a cola, more like when kids dump in a bit over everything because they think it's funny but won't drink it because it's gross, it tasted like that. Positives: The fruit was fresh and well-displayed. The sushi area was fresh and had several interesting options. The hibachi grill looked okay, I should have focused on that because at least it would have been freshly prepared.

We nearly fell asleep waiting for it to arrive. I ordered hot and sour soup, 2 orders of crab Rangoon, and a combo meal of honey chicken and of general tso chicken. I'm not a picky person when it comes to food but this over all was not good. It all arrived nearly cold except the soup which was somehow very hot. The hot and sour soup was very good. The crab rangoons tasted like they were probably better fresh but they are crab rangoons so either way they were good enough. Cold and half empty but we ate them. No major complaints there. The egg rolls were cold but alright. The general tso sauce was good but the chicken itself tasted like it had been cooked, then cooked again and again. Very tough and tasted like reheated leftovers with fresh sauce. The honey chicken was the absolute worst part of this whole order. They were over cooked, cold nuggets essentially and came with a side of the most disgusting "honey sauce" imaginable. Tasted mostly like melted margarine. Sooooo bad. That whole meal was not touched after the first bite. All and all I bet this food is more decent fresh, picked up and early in the day as we ordered around 10pm. I imagine all the soups are good. Go there for egg rolls and soup. Do not get chicken at least later in the day. Period. You will regret it. Owners need to remove that "honey chicken" from the menu altogether. Go there early in the day and pick it up yourself. This was $40 of regret.

I'm officially ruined for any other Chinese take-out place in town…read more No saccharine sweet sauces No generic long grained rice No rubbery or rock hard egg rolls No filler in the fried rice No reheated chicken I don't know what's changed in the last six months, but reviews dated prior to mine have to be due to a cook or a manager who has since been sacked. They're using fresh broccoli, making their fried rice to order (not sitting it in a double-boiler at 11am and letting it dry out). I've legitimately tried every other Chinese restaurant to have been open in Jacksonville in the last 13 years, and the quality here is better than anyone else. It might be Chinese inspired Americana, but they do it justice.

They were so mushy and soggy, and there was no brownness at all like they had been pan fried at all. They had no flavor, ordered chicken fried rice. It was OK nothing spectacular just tasted like rice with chicken. They gave me white rice, which I did not order and brown rice which I did not order very very disappointed. Everything was very bland. Kung Pal was supposed to be spicy. There was no heat and no spice at all and then not enough for the people who were here. Everything was like warm or cold. Never ordering again. Will not be ordering again blah
