    Seriously the best restaurant in Portales - and I'm not just saying that because I miss Chinese…read morefood (okay, maybe just a tiny bit). But honestly, the food that is served here is pretty high quality and definitely tops the Chinese buffets back in LA both pricewise and tastewise. Because there aren't any stores that sell Asian produce, I went a few weeks without legit Chinese food before finding Hong Kong Super Buffet. The lunch buffet is only about $7 and the dinner buffet cost is a dollar or two more - and this includes soda! You're also able to get to-go where you can stuff a to-go box filled with as much food as you want. While the customers primarily eat from the AYCE buffet, they do have a menu where you can order more traditional Chinese dishes (fried rice, noodles, etc.) but very rarely did I see customers do that. The buffet includes dishes such as salmon, fried chicken with peanut butter, sushi, kimchi, broccoli and beef, shrimp, meatballs, fried chicken, squid, picked vegetables - an assortment of items from Korean, Japanese, Chinese, and American cuisines. Something for everybody pretty much. They also have Blue Bunny self-scoop ice cream (the legitimate ice cream instead of the soft serve that Souplantation and all the other buffets have nowadays). Along with cookies, pudding, jello, fried donuts ... you're going to leave feeling happy and full. My favorite items - squid, imitation crab meat and vegetables, garlic bread, mushrooms (so good!), and the honey chicken. So much better than Panda Express - the sauce and the coating on the chicken are cooked perfectly, and when you bite into the chicken, you still get enough white meat to know that you're eating real chicken. The hot and sour soup was also a favorite of mine. The owners and workers here are all super friendly and really, really nice. Since Portales isn't that big of a city, everybody really does recognize you after one or two visits. When they were out of honey chicken, the owner automatically went to the kitchen to get some more! Lots of tables available and this place is definitely always busy with customers coming and going. tl;dr - Who knew that the best Chinese AYCE buffet is located in Portales? Better than the ones in LA for sure! Highly recommend giving it a try if you're craving Chinese food or you don't know what to eat. Prices are affordable, service is super friendly, and assortment of food is pretty widespread.

    First time and last time. Food was amazing ! Service from the server was good. The lady charging…read morewanted to charge me for my 10 year old daughter and niece as adults. If they were both over 10, I would've paid and call it a day. Height doesn't define the age of a kid. And birth certificates shouldn't be asked for to confirm the age, that's ridiculous. Who carries birth certificates to go eat.

    Yes, sushi in West Texas can be a little scary for obvious reasons BUT this place completely…read moresurprised me! The sushi was fresh, delicious, and actually exceeded my expectations. Everything was flavorful, beautifully presented, and you could tell they take pride in what they're serving. The only thing I will say is that my dad is in a wheelchair, and the entrance could definitely be more accessible. It was difficult getting him in and out, so I'd love to see them make that area easier for wheelchair access. Other than that, great food and a great experience! Definitely one of those places that makes you forget you're eating sushi in West Texas. Highly recommend!

    We placed a pickup order through Toast at 5:54 PM with a promised pickup time of 6:30 PM…read more We arrived at 6:35 PM and were told the order wasn't ready. When I asked when it would be ready, the hostess said she didn't know and asked us to wait in the lobby or in our car. We waited with our young children until about 7:05 PM before asking for another update. Instead of providing an estimated wait time or apologizing, the hostess immediately told me that there were a lot of orders ahead of ours and that I needed to understand they were busy. I had approached politely and was simply trying to find out when we could expect our food. When I became frustrated, she said she was "just the hostess" and that she and the server were only trying to help by asking what was in our order. I completely understand that restaurants get busy and delays happen. What was unacceptable was the lack of communication and the dismissive customer service. No one could tell us whether our food would be ready in five minutes or another hour. Because we were traveling and had young children with us, we couldn't continue waiting indefinitely. We ultimately requested a refund and left without our food after waiting more than 30 minutes past the scheduled pickup time. Delays are understandable. Poor communication and treating customers as though they're unreasonable for asking for an update are not. I hope the restaurant improves both its pickup process and how it communicates with customers when orders are running behind.
