Taste Of China Super Buffet, Sacramento, California, Chinese Restaurant Details

Food:

Wow, this place is so unbelievably bad. I wasn't expecting much for my $11.66 lunch/beverage, and they surely didn't disappoint. It will go down as the worst "chinese" meal I have ever had. Oddly, 80 percent of the food on the buffet line wasn't "chinese". It was some appalling attempt at "american comfort" food. French fries, chicken, pizza, garlic bread, chicken fingers, some sort of pasta, , etc, etc….Not one of the "american" items comes close to matching the cheapest, oldest walmart frozen food equivalent. In fact, those walmart items are so superior that it real isn't a contest. At China Super Buffet you'll be begging and pleading for them…anything to keep you from having to smell, much less eat, the pile of horse sh*t in front of you. Honestly, I don't even know what to say about the rest of this place's food. Because really, everything they had out that I tried was revolting. What I didn't try looked even more revolting. Even the fried rice was repugnant, far and away the worst I've ever had. The vegetables, soggy, overcooked, gross. The orange chicken, I could handle 1 bite (and I almost puked-not joking). The sushi, wow, you couldn't match the vile if you tried your hardest. Noodles-well they had me begging for the aforementioned fried rice. Shrimp and oysters, are you kidding…I don't have a death wish! Everything was loathsome... See what you did Taste of China Super Buffet, the thesaurus is almost out of synonyms for "revolting"! Please, people, don't go here. Really, don't encourage these people. Oh, the people. That's something else entirely. The owner (i'm assuming she's the owner) stands over you the whole time you're there with her little notepad and pen, scowling at you while you eat. While doing that she's busy yelling at staff (I wouldn't be surprised if she has a couple of immigrant "housekeepers" back at her house that she keeps locked up in the basement when they're not forced to scrub the floors with toothbrushes) Honestly, the woman comes across as that kind of monster…She is about the most unwelcoming "Maitre'd" I've encountered. And her husband, he appears when it's time to pay the check. He was obviously doing yard work before stepping in the restaurant, because he was filthy (probably hadn't washed in a couple weeks), covered in crap, sweating, possessing a nauseous smell, with some of the dirtiest hands/fingernails I've ever seen. I'm sure he doesn't bother washing said hands before putting them all over every piece of food on the buffet. The thought is still making me sick to my stomach. Oh, but he wears a rolex. So he has that going for him.

AVOID AVOID AVOID AVOID AVOID!!!! i can't say it enough.

Food:

Not too bad for the price i guess..
salmon was a huge disappointment. Over peppered and over salted.

Mashrooms are completely tastless.

Hot and sour soop tastless as well. Just bunch of spice.

Fried rice was cooked great. A bit too plain on taste, but perfectly cooked.

Clams actually surprised me. Nice texture and taste to them.

The boneless chopped ribs are too far and feel like they have been sitting there for way too long.

The different varieties of chicken i tried were all pretty much the same. Chewy and felt old. I did enjoy the orange chicken.

Fried shimp is ok when its still fresh. If it gets cold, impossible to peel.

Food:

When you arrive they welcome you as you were begging for food with a bad face and bad voice tone. The bathrooms are horrible dirty and just have 2 and both you can't even use it. Once you are inside they don't even check if plates need to be removed or need more drinks. I will not recommend you to go here. There's other places where they do appreciate their costumers. This isn't one of them.

Food:

The food is good and I really like the mongolian bbq. The cook will only say "your welcome" and enjoy :) with a smile if you thank and tip him. I gave them a 2 star because last time me and my family went maybe an hour prior to closing, they still accepted us to eat but the food wasn't fresh anymore and when we asked if the cook can make more, they said "no more food". Then while we were eating, the lady was standing by our table and she kept looking at her watch and kept looking at us eat. I felt we were being rushed to finish our food which we paid full dinner price for and they wouldn't even make anymore fresh food. I understand that we arrived an hour before they closed but I thought it was rude for her to act like that. After our second plate, we didnt even get dessert because I felt so disrespected by that lady so we ended up leaving and not tipping them. Will not be going back..I heard that Empire place down by Fair Oaks and Howe has way better customer service and the food is really good. I'll be visiting them soon when I get my chinese food cravings.

Food:

The atmosphere is nice and the selection is okay. I would warn against going there in mid-afternoon. I ordered the Mongolian BBQ is just some dude on a grill heating up a limited selection of crap.The sauces are in giant, sticky squeeze bottles labeled with Sharpie.

Some of the stuff I won't touch like the octopus, oysters and Sushi but I just don't like that kind of food. Dessert selection average for a buffet but with a generous fruit selection.

Features soft serve ice cream including ice cream cones. Go here if you want to fill up cheaply and aren't bothered by taco street vendor or roach coach sanitation.
