Q: Food was OK, but the reason for the low rating was the service. My waiter was obviously overworked. It took 15 minutes for him to even come over to greet me, then another 10 just to get a salad. He never came over during the meal to check on me, then dropped off the check. I filled out one of those online surveys and put my contact info, but here i am two weeks later and no one has contacted me.

Q: An update -- I have always been a big supporter and a fan of Pacific Seafood Buffet. But me thinks not anymore. Went there for dinner last night, which was Tuesday night. The menu was basically the same and most things were still pretty consistent and good. But they had a few items that were not-so-good. Their Korean kalbi short ribs were very tough and overcooked. Their fish dishes were using poorer quality fish so they were not as tasty, their mapo tofu is getting less and less tasty. But the kicker that pushed me over the edge to now say that I am no longer a fan is that they have been advertising on their home mailer flyers coupons for $1.00 off for lunch and $2.00 off for dinner. These flyers have "cut out" coupons on them that automatically tells you that you need to bring the coupons with you. But on the top of the flyer is says seniors (60+) get 20% off all the time. When we had dinner last night, they would not give me and my wife our senior citizen's prices since we did not bring the flyer with us. I explained that the flyer says nothing about bringing the flyer and in fact, it says 20% off for seniors everyday now. Still they would not give me our discounts. So I paid full price. I know someone who works at PSB and asked them about this and I was told (I know this is a rumor) that this has been discussed with the management and owners, along with the fact that the website pricing is wrong too, and the staff have been told that these "strategies" help the establishment bring in more customers and get more revenue from customers. WTH??? So is there is a conscious effort in-place to falsely advertise prices and mislead potential customers? Assuming that what I was told is true, this seems like economic suicide to me and is also illegal. So Yelpers, just beware and cautious. The food is still OK, but deteriorating slightly, but this new information is very troubling to me.

Q: Stopped in here for lunch today, joined by Robyn N. I went with one of the Lunch Combos, consisting of a bowl of Chicken Enchilada Soup, a California Club Toasted Sandwich, & Homestyle Fries. THE GREAT: Nice restaurant, comfortable booth seating, all the food was delicious and the table service just right! THE UNGREAT: The "Sandwich" isn't pictured on the menu, & arrived as a HALF sandwich! All in all? Well, this half sandwich WAS piled high with lots of tasty goodies, and after subtracting a Star these guys still earned four. It was really quite a nice lunch, a good value, & I'm very likely to return to a Chili's before long! :-)) California Club Toasted Sandwich Combo: $8.
