This restaurant is huge. Its in the same strip mall as Sunflower/Sprouts on Speedway and Swan. I can't remember what used to be in the building; furniture? anyway, its decorated very nicely; lovely oriental drawings on the wall and the necessary koi pond and the pillars are now columns of shimmering colors with scenes of Asian village life.
and the variety of food is amazing. Besides all the tables there is a big sushi selection and a bbq area (where you pick the vegetables and meat you want and its cooked for you on a big iron wok) and best of all real ice cream for dessert (in addition to all the other usual sweet culprits in Asian buffets; I love those tiny bright neon orange cake squares) and the ice cream is good! very creamy. they had 2 kinds of sherbet and butter pecan and mint chocolate chip and vanilla, chocolate and strawberry.
Now the food quality is just so-so of the few i tried. Bill absolutely loved his dinner as both times he got salmon which he said was the best he's ever eaten in the desert. All the chicken dishes i tried (and they must have had a dozen different preparations with chicken) were a little tough and not white breast meat. The egg rolls were worse than usual on these buffets- though i realize they are always sub-standard; however, i cannot resist taking one. The pineapple rice was tasteless and the bbq'd pork pieces were hardly chewable.
However, the green beans were great; crispy and flavored perfectly and on my second plate i had just fried rice and that was ok. Next time i'll try the noodles and just stick with the green beans and maybe try some of their shrimp dishes. and there's always the ice cream!!
