After perusing various reviews of Super Buffet, I felt compelled to experience it firsthand, as I typically refrain from forming opinions solely based on online feedback. Full disclosure: I frequented Super Buffet as a child (now 31) with my family and cherished those memories.
Upon my arrival during the lunch hour, the sight of a steady stream of patrons entering the establishment appeared promising. However, I was met with initial disappointment when I entered. Regrettably, I received no immediate acknowledgment, and the aroma in the primary dining area emitted a fishy odor, suggestive of lingering seafood. The employee behind the counter seemed preoccupied with a phone call, eventually indicating the card reader for payment before permitting access to the buffet.
Navigating to the plate station, I noticed an employee replenishing fresh fried rice, and an extensive array of dishes awaited. There was a diverse selection, encompassing meat and vegetable offerings, soups, deep-fried appetizers, fish entrees, Americanized dishes, sushi, desserts, and a noodle station for customizable entrees. The overall layout and offerings seemed reminiscent of my childhood visits.
My selections on this occasion included:
P
1. Chow Mein: Lacking in discernible flavor, this dish felt safest among the options.
2. Fried Rice: Unfortunately, it lacked flavor and presented as small, clumped portions, prompting me not to finish it.
3. Cheese Wontons: Some pieces were passable, while others fell short of expectations, leading me not to finish them.
4. Wonton Soup: Regrettably bland, with an absence of flavor. The broth seemed to have been prepared with unfiltered tap water. The wontons available on the side were acceptable, but I refrained from consuming the broth.
5. Sushi (3 different varieties): Only one variety was palatable, as one of the others exhibited an unsettling chemical-like taste. I declined to consume it further.
6. Raspberry Ice Tea: On a positive note, the cup of Raspberry Ice Tea was delightful.
The overall cleanliness of the dining areas left room for improvement, including the condition of the floors throughout the establishment. Unfortunately, I did not venture into the restrooms, so I cannot comment on their hygiene.
In summation, my experience leads me to assign a rating of zero to this establishment. I will not be returning for future meals and cannot recommend it to friends, family, or acquaintances. read more
