There's an old Chinese proverb: "Once bitten, twice shy." This place was so awful when I was here in January '09 that it took me over 4 1/2 years to get up the nerve to try it again! I'm happy to report that things were better here this time:

SOME POSITIVES:

* Both the dining room and the men's restroom looked very clean!

* The ambiance (lighting, sound (soft Chinese music playing), room temperature and booth comfort were all good. The dining room furnishings are arranged more attractively now than they were in '09, & it was a peaceful atmosphere overall. (There were 5 other customers dining.)

* My "hot tea" was hot this time, & it's free with the Buffet!

* The Egg Flower Soup was ok & much better than last time!

* All the food temperatures were right & I liked the taste of most of it.

OK, A FEW CAVILS:

* The sign outside says $5.99 but I was charged $6.55 total. It should have been $6.49 at the current tax rate of 8.3%, so right now she's charging $6.05 plus tax.

* One of the main things I always go for at an Oriental Buffet is the fried chicken. The big legs cooked up here looked great in the tray but mine seemed oily and only marginally cooked enough on the inside.

* Limited selection of 21 items including the tea.

ALL IN ALL?

Hong Kong here holds it own now against Mike Kwan's ("infamous") Golden Coin just 2 miles away. That's another place that was 1-Star & improved. The food is good there now but they have a microscopic selection of only 8 items & the bathroom is ucky.

It IS a pleasure to see a formerly disaster case Buffet like this get BETTER rather than finally closing such as East Buffet downtown, for example. Did you ever eat there? OMG! The last time I was there I was fighting over my food with this big spider. It was like a horror movie! The whole scene there was so awful (& I ate there 2 or 3 times!). Just running back across my Reviews of the place was upsetting enough that I finally deleted them completely. (Still get goosebumps when I drive by the derelict building!) :-O

Ok, so the daily Lunch Buffet here at Hong Kong Restaurant is $6.05 :-|

Example Input: I went to Caesars Palace to eat at the Bacchanal buffet for dinner. Unfortunately it was filled to capacity, we were turned away. So we opted for Gordon Ramsey's Pub and Grill. What a mistake!

We order the fish and chips ($30). I've had better fish and chips at Long John Silvers and H Salt. The fish was dried out and crumbly. The French fries were soggy and limp. For $30 definitely not worth it.

The Mac and cheese with lobster ($28). I've had better Mac and cheese out of a box, really! The sauce was watery And the few tiny bits of lobster were not so tasty.

The steak and ale pie. Basically it's a Shepard's pie made with beef instead of lamb. The crust was soggy and the meat was so tasteless.

I'd like to invite Gordon Ramsey to go and dine on some of this cuisine that bears his name. I don't think he'd approve.

Very very pricey for less than average tasting food.

Example Input: I don't understand what the hype is with this place. Maybe it's because I'm not a hipster, but I was not impressed. I've given this restaurant three tries because the reviews are so great and I've just never been thrilled. Each time I tried a different wrap, and not one has excited me. The best thing I had was the pasta salad, which I've still had better at other places. The place is also always super crowded and takes forever to get your food. I was even forgotten once and ended up waiting 30 minutes. Always fun. Lastly, I was so excited when I saw they had hibiscus tea (yum!)...it was disgusting. So bitter and didn't even taste remotely like tea. I've had hibiscus tea at other places and it has never tasted like that. Makes me shudder to think about. Maybe it was old. Anyway, I will not be back. Enjoy, hipsters!
