I usually dine at the Thomas Rd. location, where everything is great.  This time, I decided to give this one a try, expecting a similar experience, but here's some of what I found up here:\n\n*  It's quite similar inside to the Thomas Road location, but the dining area isn't furnished as well.\n\n*  Went for soup first, as usual, but there were no soup spoons out, or available.  (Have I eaten at 100 other buffets here in the Valley without ever having run into this?)  An employee told me they let themselves run completely out of them to save money.  (I thought to myself, \"They could save even MORE money by closing this location... and maybe they should!)\n\n*  Went for a chicken wing, which is what I eat!  The only way you could get one here, was firmly attached to more of the chicken!  The whole thing was heavily breaded & cooked with the skin on, so there was no hope of pulling it apart at the serving tray.  It was either take it the way you don't want it, or don't have it at all.  Please someone, teach the preps here how to cut up a chicken!!  (Was I 8, or 9, when I learned how to do it?)  That's enough of an example of how the whole visit went here.  You get the idea.\n\nOverall, the food was about the same as Thomas (good), but the serving area setup here is also not as attractive or convenient as the one on Thomas, so for me the place plummeted all the way down to 3-Stars from the 5 I had expected it to earn.\n\nOn the way home, I sang \"Could've Been\" by Tiffany.
