I have not been here for years - but when I lived in France, being from Los Angeles and before…read morethat, Chicago, I missed Asian food more than any other fundamental cuisine. Now, as we all know, the French can cook: it is in their blood -YES - we know that. But authentic Asian cuisine, especially Chinese and Southeast Asian cuisine, is not as much about "good" cooking techniques as it is about authentic homegrown ingredients: original ingredients - from "the Land". This is where the "New Buffet" differs from the many dozens of other faux-Asian buffets in France. This place has the REAL INGREDIENTS. For one, IT'S BIG. This gives it a tremendous power to directly Import food, sauces, and condiments. For two, it has direct access to both the sea and to local farms, which allows it to include the very best local seafood, meat, and produce. And finally, it uses Asian chefs, who know what the F..ck they're doing.
This is an astonishing Asian Buffet.
