New Hibachi Buffet

I ate here and I thought the food was really bad. The selection wasn’t that bad but the quality of food was the problem. The staff was nice, and the ambiance was all right, but the food was no good…

«Fear Factor Buffet» would be a more appropriate name for this restaurant. We decided to stop here for dinner after running some errands and were not only disappointed, but also disgusted. We walk in and were greeted by a hostess wearing dirty, worn-​out sweatpants and a t shirt with a pink skull on it. We were shown to a booth where the seat had tears and was broken. We go to get some food, and it was clear that the majority of it had been sitting out all day. The different «chicken» dishes were tough, dried out pieces of breading marinated in whatever sauces they found in the back, and the rice was so dry you could barely scrape any off of what was dried onto the pan. If anything, I guess they get some creativity points for frying a rolled up wonton wrap and calling it a Dragon Tail.

This chinese buffet serves very ‘americanized’ entrees. So much so, that my youngest daughter (the buffet instigator) asks to dine elsewhere from now on because the selection is too bland for her. During a recent visit for dinner (our last) the buffet lacked all Asian buffet favorites like sesame chicken, governor’s chicken, egg fu yung, spring rolls, etc. Soups were cold and gelatinous. Items were heavily breaded and bland. They provide a tame selection of sushi rolls. The takeout sushi rolls at Copps grocery store are better. The sashimi I plated had an unnatural ‘slime’. Best avoided. More food went back to the kitchen than was eaten. The basic buffet is 1-​star.
The best feature of the buffet is the Hibachi offering that allows you to put together your own stir fry combo. However, there are better Hibachi locations in Stevens Point. Price for dinner is $ 10 per seat, with drink. It seems affordable until you discover how disappointing buffet entrees are.

Really shitty Chinese food careening down an oil-​slicked pink Slip N’ Slide – this is what I imagined was happening inside my body during and after I ate here. Super oily, not yummy, probably wouldn’t go here again. I mean, I should have guessed, but there is always the possibility that one might find a GOOD Chinese buffet, right? RIGHT?
Too expensive for what it tasted like, and there wasn’t a ton of variety compared to others I’ve been to. Some of the dishes looked downright nasty. And – of course – I didn’t even go near the sushi. That’s just asking for food poisoning, amirite? Go to a sushi restaurant for sushi, not a cheap, crappy Chinese buffet. I don’t recommend this place. There’s gotta be somewhere better around.
