We went for an early lunch on Hacienda Vallarta and were pleasantly surprised…read more The buffet was very diverse and had something for everyone. The food was delish and I especially enjoyed the Barbacoa and the house made Tortias. Service was very good and the servers were eager to please and kept our drinks filled - so I could definitely dispell the reviews reporting bad service. All in all it was good and plentiful food joint with good service and a super affordable price. We'd definitely be back.

I recently visited this Mexican buffet in San Antonio and found the overall experience to be just…read moreokay. The food was decent, and there were a variety of options to choose from, which I appreciated. However, I was disappointed with the cheese enchiladas--they were cold, and the cheese inside wasn't even melted, which was surprising and took away from the experience. While it's not a bad place and might be worth trying once, it didn't leave a strong enough impression for me to return.

The dim sum bar was my favorite especially the honeycomb tripe. I loved it so much that I got some to-go. There was an abundance of ceab legs and seafood boil. Another favorite is the jalapeño chicken which was crispy. There was a chocolate fountain that seemed to be kept clean. There are no complaints here, this may be my new go to buffet.

2nd location & it bites (in a good way!)…read more Compared to the first one, this place is so much CLEANER without the murky old-fashioned smell. One other main difference between this location and the one on Bandera is that you don't pre-pay for your buffet here. As for the food, 8/10. We went on a Friday night, so definitely a bit more seafood was present BUT no steamed crab legs :( Actually, outside of salt and pepper soft shell crabs, no crab was found. This was a dull moment -- and in retrospect, it would have been smart to call King and ask. Will do next time! Our server was very attentive and unlike the other location -- they were pleasant. Our soft drinks were always topped off or a new one was brought.

I have traveled to this restaurant plenty of times. I first encountered this place when they were…read morein their old location, when they were down the street from where they are now. First I feel I should explain that I live in the total opposite area and outside the city so this place is quite a long voyage. Nonetheless, I feel as if I have to say, I love this restaurant. This new building location is way better than the last. No more random pot holes everywhere and no more worry of your entire car getting stuck in the parking lot because you happen to drive over a hole that's somehow three feet wide. I am such a big fan of this place infact when they closed to relocate I got depressed knowing I couldn't have their food for the time being. Now for the actual review. Walking into this restaurant you wouldn't expect much from it. A small buffet stand and a normal seating arrangement. They sat me down quite hastily and the waitress came immediately to pour water for you to quench any thirst you may have had before entering. Before I got my food I took a sip of the water she just poured and instantly the veil of the tandoor palace was lifted and it revealed its true nature. This place is a sanctuary run by the divines, the waitress a goddess. The water was the most refreshing water man could ever have. I felt like I was drinking tears that a god had cried over its subjects that just so happen to also land in the fountain of youth and this waitress is the only inhabitant in the mortal realm that has access to the said fountain. and she blessed you with this holy water by pouring it inside a piece of the holy grail. After experiencing pure ecstasy from the divine hostess I finally walked up to the small buffet to grab the same thing I have always gotten. Rice, with their chicken tiki masala. Shaking from the previous experiences I've had with this divine food I could hardly hold my excitement. Sitting down to finally have a bite, I felt a calling from heaven and the need to pray to god for blessing me with a sanctuary and meal such as this. With the first bite I am instantly face to face with the vision of this chicken I have swirling in my mouth. I've never seen such a chicken. He tells me that even though he has died, he is happy to have ended up in the hands of a chef that personally cooks for the gods on his free time and that the chef treated him such care he didn't even notice himself pass over to the afterlife and to be added to such an exquisite dish such as this and that he is happy to have brought someone like me such a feeling of immense joy. Hearing this from the sacred chicken I begin to cry tears of happiness. Pulses of oxytocin, dopamine, endorphins, and serotonin surge through my body and with every bite I experience pure heaven. I can't explain to you enough how I feel about this food more than what I am typing right now at this very moment. Then finally the Naan shows up, maybe a little late but just in time for me to experience a new joy of just having the chicken tikimasala and rice alone. Placing my fork down, I grab the piping hot naan and notice the slight glisten of butter over the surface of the Naan like a bar of pure gold, with pieces of what seems to be garlic and maybe cilantro and parsley. I continue to use its garlic buttery goodness to scoop the food on my plate and proceed to shove it into my mouth. I full heartedly believe an old man would say, "My stomach is jealous of my mouth for being able to have its way with it first." Plate after plate you would want to devour even if you would taint this holy sanctuary with the sin of gluttony, maybe try to hide your sin under the napkin they provide to you like the French do for ortolan bunting. Slowly I became full and still had some food on my plate. One shouldn't waste food here or more like who would want to. You'd rather sit there for an extra couple minutes so your stomach could settle and let the food get cold because you'd still wish to eat it. At this restaurant if one should find a hair in their food (not saying you will or i did im exaggerating!) you'd take it as a blessing from the divine in the kitchen and still continue to eat it. (Around it of course.) Meat balls were also pretty good.

We have been chasing authentic Indian cuisine ever since we stepped foot in India back in 2016…read more Tandoor Palace was next on our list to try. Dinner prices are very reasonable, which explains the small buffet entree choices. Chicken Masala, Tandoori Chicken and Nan should be the staple dishes, so they must stand out, which unfortunately they did not. I prefer a stronger spice level than what was served. And judging by the customers dining in, the food was probably closer to what you would find in the British quarters in India, a bit bland and toned down. The inside is small, but a larger place is probably not needed as it was not busy on a Friday night. My recommendation is this is more of a quick lunch restaurant rather than a date night type of restaurant.

I don't know if they have a magic wand they put around their vegetables, but their vegetables are the best I've ever had. It may be a little hard to find because even though it's in a strip shopping center off of Hurbnar you really have to look to find it. The old saying says if you have Chinese food you're hungry about an hour later. This is not true about their food. I go home after stuffed and usually take a nap after. And the stereotype I'm trying to share with my friends is that it's not all curry. There's a variety of dishes with all kinds of spices from very mild to spicy. There desserts are more unusual in a great way.

I walked into a dimly lit…read moreroom with a nice bar as well as couches and plenty of seats (don't let the outside fool you). I sat at the bar and checked out the menu. It looks like there are all types of options from unique burgers to ramen to salads and bowls. I ended up going with the tuna salad which is made with white tuna, thankfully. I don't do well with the texture of the raw pink type in sushi rolls. The bartender recommended using the ginger soy they make and a vinaigrette on top and woooweeee....consider my socks blown off! You have the option to do rice or rice noodles in their soy sauce. I went noodles and I am addicted now. I will definitely come back for more of those as well as to try their Mongolian burger next time around. The atmosphere was welcoming and relaxed. Parking can be tricky as it looks like this place stays packed during lunch. But well worth the hike. This was such a great experience that I may have to make this a regular spot.

The shrimp were tender and the vegetables were crisp and fresh, all coated in a light, savory sauce. The Mongolian beef was another highlight--super tender beef with a rich, slightly sweet sauce that had just the right amount of flavor. Every dish tasted fresh and well prepared, and the variety made the meal really enjoyable.
