I don't run my own Chinese Buffet but I work at one, and I am the Hostess/server. The owners just moved here and we just opened May 1st. I take a lot of pride in the buffet but business is slow and though I know it's impossible to please everyone, I still feel like we could improve and get less complaints.
The restaurant itself is small and we only have about 22 tables, the tables seat 2, 4 and 6/7, no booths. There are 2 Steam Tables and a salad/dessert bar. In one Steam Table we have all the 'wet' food like mixed veggies, meat, chop suey, soup ect. In the other we have all deep fried things, like egg rolls, battered fish, shrimp ect. I believe there are at least 14 dishes per steam table, plus the salad bar for dinner. We also serve fresh crab legs on the weekends.
The chefs are chinese, and began cooking in china. They have been cooking for 25 and 15 years, and I see them make everything freshly by hand so sometimes the food varies (not drastically but in a nice way). The takeout food is awesome because it's fresh, but takeout is very slow.
We charge $9.95 for an adult for the weekdays and $10.95 for the weekend. There's a 10% senior's discount, and kids 10 and under eat for $4.99.
I know it's a pretty vague description of a restaurant, but what do you think? Would you eat there?
The buffet is run like a self serve style, people go up and dish out what they like and someone is hired to monitor what food pans must be changed and stuff.
We have a dessert table that offers a huge variety of cakes, squares and the classic almond cookie. The ice cream is actually interesting too, currently I think we have peanut butter cup, brownie, tropical breeze, mint chocolate, and the classic variety.
We also have a full bar
The owner used to manage a Mandarin Buffet restaurant but now she runs it on her own.
I've never been to a Mandarin but I'm assuming she runs it a lot like that
