I have to agree with others that it's going downhill.... The soup is now just plain chicken broth. No scallions or mushrooms... And it NEVER tastes the same as the last time. Last night I was going to get double salad and I should've. I know it may sound minor but it's the start to your meal. Last month we ordered take out hibachi chicken (first time for take out there) and they forgot the sauce. The food was almost inedible without the sauce....we did not each much. Quality is getting bad. :(

If you're hungry on a Friday afternoon during lunch time, you don't know where to eat, and only have $7.55 cents to your name, this is the place to go. For that price, you can get a lot of food and drink in your stomach. It's not the best buffet, but it's definitely a great price. By the time I was done, I was so satisfied. My belly was about to explode. Sad part is that on the way there, I kept telling myself "You are not going to over eat, you are not going to over eat, you are not going to over eat!" But, what happened? Geez, this is why I don't do buffets. But, it was cheap though, so I shouldn't complain. :)

Yeah, it's a great concept, as there are more and more people becoming vegan. They also have an extensive selection of herbs and such. The place is clean. But the 3 most important things to me in a restaurant are: the quality of the food, the value for the price, and the service. Chakra failed on all 3 counts. The service: awful. I waited and waited at the counter, and I was ignored, even by the woman at the register who's evidently doing some kind of accounting. Fine, I can understand the need for business processes, but she could at least have LOOKED UP and smiled and told me she'd be with me in a moment. I had to be standing there for over 5 minutes, more like 10 - and ignoring me for that long was beyond rude. Or one of the staff could have checked on me. Nope. I actually felt like I was bothering them for being there. The food: also awful. Granted, I only went there once (but once was enough for me). I forget exactly which one I ordered, it was some sort of wrap or burrito. It sounded really good on the menu - a delicious mix chock-full of greens and various crunchy veggies. Well, I got to my car and took a few bites and gave up. It was almost entirely some sort of greens with very paltry portions of other vegetables (a couple of string-like shreds of celery) - I actually opened it up in my car to look for them. What made it even worse was that the greens were wet, and the whole thing was water-logged and the tortilla got soaked through. And there was absolutely ZERO seasoning! Appalling. Disgusting and unacceptable. I threw it out. The value: I cannot believe I paid $13 for this piece of garbage. Not only that, it was supposed to come with a side of salsa, and wouldn't you know it, it did not. It's rare for me to get so angry about an establishment, and I would have returned it had I not been on the go & headed to an appointment.
