What a pleasant surprise this was! I was coming to buy Girl Scout Cookies as they were being sold…read morethere yesterday (Friday) and I am a sucker for Girl Scouts as my nana spoiled me growing up and bought me boxes of Thin Mints whenever Girl Scout Cookie Season came around. Luckily, i was able to snag the last box of Thin Mints and a box of Trefoils, so I am not complaining. Since I was already at the location, I thought why not try the restaurant. I did not know what to expect and honestly I did not factor in that it was a buffet. Coming from Miami originally (though currently living in Saint Albans), I was lucky (no pun intended ^_^) to have had some really great buffets to experience in Miami, FL (ie. Kyojin in South Miami, Canton in Coral Gables, POC in Coral Gables) but I was craving Chinese food as I had not had any in so long. Lucky Buffet did not disappoint. They had sit down dining service as well as to go service. I am not sure if they deliver. If they did that would be amazing! But it was pretty busy which is always a good sign for a restaurant because it means they are doing good business and there is a demand for it. I ended up eating with my eyes and then my stomach because i filled 2 to go containers with a variety/assortment of foods like General Tso's chicken (my favorite), chicken & broccoli, crunchy and flavorful snap peas, crispy wonton noodles, very breaded/fluffy battered chicken tenders, and some vegetable fried rice that i doused in the General Tsao's sauce). I also got some of these Buttered scalloped potatoes which O-M-G were so darn good. They also had sliced onion mixed into the batch and no complaints there. It came out to a total of $38. There was a sign that said it was like $7.95 for pound of food and I figured I would splurge since I am not sure when I would be back there. I walk everywhere and in the cold, frigid temps, it's a bit cumbersome (and dangerous) to walk with food like that over icy sidewalks and slushy-muddy snow. I can't speak to what dining in would be like, but it seemed pretty decent. There was a steady flow of customers coming in and out which is always good to see. I also liked how they had fortune cookies sitting on display in the middle of the place for guests to take. I took about six lol I can't resist a good old fashioned fortune cookie:) If I ever happen to be walking by again, I would consider it again, but it is a lot of food. So you have to go on an empty stomach and also try not to over indulge or else you will have tummy issues. Chinese food is notorious for having MSG, but I am not sure if they use that there. I will say that they had a pretty decent dessert bar and ice cream selection. The people of Saint Albans are "lucky" to have this restaurant in their midsts. Also parking is pretty ample for those that have vehicles and the restaurant itself seemed pretty clean and well organized. If buffet items got low, they immediately would replenish them. The food was hot and ready to go. A plus was the little keychains being sold at the front at the counter. I had to get a Stitch one because I love the Stitch character. He's so cute ^_^ They also had a Spiderman one and Hello Kitty one so any fans of those characters would be pleasantly surprises and amused to see them being sold there once you check out and pay. Highly recommend this place.

When we hit the food court, it was alarming to see there were even fewer spots than the last time we were in, and Bangkok Grill was the only establishment that we recognized. Some of the food isn't that great. It's greasy, over sweetened Chinese fare with little kick. The samples we were offered, not sure what it was supposed to be, but it tasted like a chicken finger that had been dipped in corn syrup. I know know everyone likes spice, but if I order something like Kimchi, I expect to feel a bit of a burn, and while there was a mild hint of spice, it didn't burn my tongue and throat as I was expecting. My husband opted for the Pick 2/Pick 2 special they had, but I wanted something I figured they had to make on the spot and went with a hibachi meal. My meal was the superior of the two. It was fresh, hot, and well flavored. My husband was a little disappointed by the amount he was charged. It was explained to him that for the $4.95 (great deal) you picked two meats and two sides. He did so and was told since he picked four items, there was an additional charge of $1. The board said 2 meats and 2 sides, so we don't know what's up with that. In the end, I really miss having a sit down restaurant in the mall, and I certainly miss the Greek place that used to be in the food court when I was younger.

Ordered dinner last night. Took over 20 minutes for two combination dinners. Food was awful. Stay away from this dump. Filthy dirty. Staff was very rude. While waiting for my order, overheard the man/owner on the phone with what sounded like someone who did not pickup an order. I can't believe what was said. Used the F word and called the person the N word. read more

We did order one Thai iced tea and it was delicious, especially since it was topped with Cabot whipped cream. We ordered the vegetable gyoza to start, and the five piece order was very good. For entrees, we split the Yellow Curry with Chicken, Pad Thai with tofu, and Pineapple Fried Rice. Oh my goodness, everything was excellent! I really didn't have a favorite, they were all so good, and the portion size was definitely adequate - we had some leftovers to take with us. One member of our party also ordered the Wonton Soup, which included some vegetables in addition to the wontons. We really enjoyed all of our food, the only thing that could have been a little better was the timing. The food was brought out little by little, with the soup arriving last. It would have been nice to receive the soup before the entrees, and to have had the entrees arrive all together. Not a big problem though, and the deliciousness of the food made up for the timing. We will be back!

I work in a restaurant and that sort of stuff really bothers me, because it's a huge no-no at my restaurant. It's rude and one of the fastest ways to upset a guest. A manager noticed I was sitting at my table looking grumpy and came over to ask if everything was ok. I told him I'd been waiting for my bill for a while and he went over and got it for me within 30 seconds. He comped my tofu which was nice, but still, I've never been to a ramen restaurant where the veggie ramen didn't come with tofu.

There was 1 staffer in the front of the house and she did the hostessing and waitressing. She was pretty cold but I don't need the fake smile stuff to have a good time so not really a big deal. First thing we noticed is about 1/3 of the menu isn't available. On the dirty menus there was black "x-outs" over many dishes and on several others the server just said "we are out" when we tried to order them. We ordered some pork soup dumplings, pork buns and spring rolls with the winner of the best dish going to the spring rolls. They very surprisingly crispy and fresh. The dumplings were perfectly sized and had a juicy center but the flavor was fairly bland and without the actual soup (they were out of the pork soup) they gave you no sauce to dunk them. The buns were 95% sticky dough and 5% filling which lead to them also being bland as the ratio of dough to filling was off. If it was based off the food alone it might have been 3-3.5 but the dirty atmosphere, mediocre service and abysmal cleanliness left a lot to be desired (bathroom was worse than the one in city hall park). This place has some potential with a great location right outside Church St market but it needs some TLC to become a gem.
