Ok, so we were in Shallotte, we were hungry, and we were not looking for fast food. Yelp to the…read morerescue-we were near Zeng's, hidden in an unassuming building behind the Zaxby's, and decided to check it out. They didn't have the buffet going on a quiet Sunday afternoon (we got there between lunch and dinner, around 4), so we ordered off the menu. While they had the usual American Chinese options, we were tempted by the family platter-lo mein, fried rice, and your choice of two chicken options. We went for General Tso's and chicken wings, because, well, how can you go wrong with fried chicken two ways? The platter was huge! A whole casserole pan full, in fact! It was a great deal for under $35-definitely enough food for a family of four (or more, if you're less piggy than we are) The quantity was impressive but honestly the quality was surprisingly good-the general tso's was lightly breaded and perfectly crispy as were the wings. I don't usually go for either fried rice or lo mein but they were both pretty tasty too. Atmosphere was not fancy, but it was clean, and nice and quiet and cool on a hot day with old school decor. The folks running the place were super nice as well. Is it Michelin star material? No. But for a straightforward Chinese American spot in the middle of southern coastal NC, it was an amazing deal and quite a delicious and enjoyable experience. If we ever find ourselves in Shallotte, we'll be heading back here for sure.

Very disappointing experience. After church on a Sunday is normally a busy time for restaurants…read more For a buffet, this normally means that the food is being emptied and replenished continuously. Not so with this buffet. I saw only two items refilled during the complete time I was there. Entrees were down to peppers and onions without the meats. The wonton soup had no wontons, only broth. It didn't matter, though, as there were no soup bowls available either. I will not be returning. The Shallotte Hibachi is further down on the right and has a much larger selection of food items and is well maintained.

First off the BBQ SPARE ribs are deep fried for reheating opposed to how they should be done under the salamander. But what really pulled on my last nerve was I ordered the happy family which I've had many times before here a great dish. Lobster, shrimp, chicken, beef and pork with Chinese vegetables. $19 and change with tax ( that's not my complaint I get this economy). Ok no lobster they use Langston lobster which is crawfish not lobster and imitation crab meat which has never been in this dish. Called after about 10 minutes said dive back for refund( explained it's a 30 minute round trip in this rural area asked him to look up my number that's on file to verify that I've been a good loyal customer. Wouldn't do anything else, said ok so you'll loose a very good customer exact words that's okay. Very shady representing things that are not what is being paid for
