Most buffets as far as I am concerned are semi warm garbage, unless you are paying top dollar. I especially find Chinese buffets disgusting, the food is seldom hot and seldom delicious. I think most people who go to buffets go for quanity not quality, as always they are thinking with their stomach, just look at the people who eat at buffets and I am not trying to be rude, but some of them can hardly fit in their chairs, big stomachs and big rear ends. Buffet areas are not very well kept up, food scattered around the serving area. Not for me, no thanks, unless it is a very upscale restaurant or hotel, I will stay away and if I choose to eat at a buffet I only choose foods that I would not or could not prepare at home, and certainly would not eat more than I normally would.
If the buffet price is less than the price of a decent steak from the grocery store, then lookout!
