text: Pushing the boundary of the Chinese buffetnnGenerally I will visit an establishment at least three times prior to writing a review A second or third visit to Mike Kwans Gold Coin would be of surprise to me CASH ONLY with tax included paid for my admission to this buffetstyle meal Kids under the age of four eat for It was surprisingly busynnThe buffet in its entiretynWonTon CrispsnFried RicenChow MeinnMixed VegetablesnFrench FriesnEgg Roll HalvesnFried ChickennHot WingsnSweet Sour PorknnHere in lay my greatest criticism Yes technically there is more than one Chinese item among the food set out in large trays for an individual to return to as many times as they like In no other way does the Gold Coin overlap with common consumer expectation of a Chinese Buffet So why was it so busy Because for a tick north of five bucks a person could gluttonously stuff themselves with the above items it is better thought of as an economical familystyle meal If it was advertised as such I bet Mikes would get better reviews as people would not feel mislead when they walked in and the balance of Chinese to American to Italian to Mexican to whatever cultural dishes would be freed up as well It has its redeeming qualities which is why it did not get the single start rating it is clean inexpensive and seemed like a friendly casual atmosphere
