text: Whenever I am home for the holidays I can always look forward to my reacquaintance with Tin Tin I typically go on a weekday for lunch when the price tag at is much more palatable than the roughly doubled dinner price All in all Tin Tin is a great rendition of the ubiquitous chinese buffet nnAs a big fan of sushi my goto chinese buffet has to have a respectable offering If you are a sushi snob you are not going to be overwhelmed but you will usually do a lot worse elsewhere At the very least you can count on a good selection beyond the boring staples of california and philadelphia rolls with about different nigiri presentations including eel snapper and salmon another halfdozen rolled forms with many of the same fish and a bonus offering of spicy salmon sashimi and eel hand rolls usually although offerings may vary daytoday nnMy favorite hot item is probably the thick rice noodles pad kee mao type which may not satisfy a thai craving but is yummy nonetheless My biggest complaint is that this is one of the few items Tin Tin seems to rotate out usually for singaporean noodles which I find to be incredibly meh That and the fact that the dessert leaves a lot to be desired are the reasons I took off a starnnOtherwise I also enjoy the butter shrimp with a salty fried exterior the thai chicken with a yummy mix of sweet and spiciness pork dumplings and cream cheese puffs The sesame chicken will kick you in the teeth with an almost cloying amount of sweetness but I generally mix in a couple pieces to complement a milder accompaniment like fried rice or lo mein Try a piece of everything and find something you like because Tin Tin does not lack for selection If you have never been a fan of the chinese buffet this place will probably not make you a convert but otherwise I recommend giving it a go during lunch time and hoping they have got those rice noodles
