Teacher: You are given a review about a place. You need to provide a rating from "1 star" to "5 stars" for this place.
Teacher: Now, understand the problem? If you are still confused, see the following example:
Although I did enjoy the food here, I was completely unimpressed (and slightly annoyed) by the overpriced margaritas. I ordered a platinum which contained "fresh" juice. It tasted like it had sprite in it, so I thought surely she gave me the wrong one. It turns out that "fresh juice" is really margarita mix on tap from the same gun as the sprite. I asked for something fresh to replace the horrible margarita and received a rocks glass with just muddled lime and a salted rim. I'm not sure it contained any tequila. Horrible! It's not that hard to make a fresh margarita!
Solution: 2 stars
Reason: The writer has been annoyed in this place and has enjoyed the food. So, "2 stars" sounds reasonable for it.

Now, solve this instance: = = = = = DAILY LUNCH & DINNER BUFFET = = = = =

Stopped in here today for a first visit to a Genghis Grill, joined by Scott W. Here you are seated by a server, and restaurant was a bit brown & dark inside, except for bright sunlight glaring in from the south facing windows with no blinds.

Over at the serving area you choose between tiny, small or medium small bowls, priced at $8, $10 or $13 & start dishing yourself up whatever you like from the meat & veggie trays.

At the end of the serving line a staff member gives you a scoop of sauce from one of a number of selections, premixed. After tasting a couple of sauces with tiny plastic spoons they give you, I went with a Honey + something Sauce.

Then you go to the grill area, where you choose the starch items separately. They offer white rice, brown rice, fried rice, plus rice noodles, wheat noodles and more. With the $8 bowl you get one starch portion, with the $10 you can have 2 and with the $13 bowl you can have three. The all-you-can-eat version is $5 on top of whichever bowl you start with, so it's $13, since it makes sense to start with the $8 bowl. In any case, all go-backs are with the smallest bowl.

The good:

* There were a good number of meat selections including two seafood (not shrimp) choices.

* They bring your bowl over to your table when it's done. You don't have to stand & wait for it to be cooked, which is kind of nice unless you particularly want to watch Chef Mongol wag it around on the grill with sticks & style. :-)

* The food was delecious, & cooked just right. (That's one thing, isn't it?) :-))

The not-as-good:

I didn't care anywhere near as much for this place as YC's in Tempe which I just went to a few days ago. The dining room over there was more appealing to start with. Also, at YC's you just paid & then you were on your own, with everything help-yourself, including beverages, & no one hovering over your table. Their drinks were included in the price, so this place tends to be more expensive. Also, YC's gives you the largest (& larger than here) bowl for your first go-through on the all-you-can-eat plan, & for your seconds too. Also, there were soups & other goodies such as whole nuts over there that Genghis here didn't offer here.

Meh... that's it for this place. I WILL try the other Genghis' around the Valley & see if they can make a better impression, but these guys here didn't quite cut it for this style of Buffet. :-|
