China Buffet

We arrived right at noon and were the first of the lunch crowd. Everything was untouched still, full salmon without any taken yet. So many options and I heaped a little of everything but when I sat down I discovered nearly all of it was not hot, but room temperature. A few items were piping hot but most were not. Not only is that a disappointing experience but raises serious food safety issues. How long were they sitting around (in the back?) before being brought out. Why aren't they held at a proper temperature? When I mentioned it to the server she indicated they have a microwave to heat things up. So I think that when everything is at a proper serving temp it's all likely good but I can't give a high rating when food is potentially dangerous after sitting too long inside the danger range. That's a health code violation.

This was the most disgusting trip ever to a China Buffet. At a China Buffet you usually know the the food will be nothing great but decent to eat. This place was horrible. We went to for lunch, 1:00PM on a Wednesday, while there I counted 18 people. I figured at this time of day the food would be fresh, wow were we wrong. Lets start with the Sushi. It was so old and dry that you could not pick it up without it falling apart, I guess thankfully the selection was very poor with about 8 choices. The main dishes were lukewarm to cold. Many of the trays had very gnarly food sitting on top of whatever they just brought out. If you dug down to the bottom you could almost find food that was hot. There were plenty of choices but again, these foods should be hot. Desert. Well, it is a Chinese restaurant, they are not know for good deserts. Even the pudding had crusty old pudding on top of the new they brought out. You know how long it takes pudding to get nasty like that? It must have been from 3 days ago. Now the most disgusting thing and the reason I called the health department on this place was the food and drink that was thrown on the wall and never cleaned up. Funny thing. The folks working there did not have any trouble speaking English, until I told them about the food thrown on the wall, all at once no one could understand a word I said. My advice. Avoid this place like you avoid food poisoning, you will save yourself in multiple ways. The pictures are not the greatest but you can see the food on the wall.
