Yami Buffet

So we came here for lunch to celebrate my honey’s birthday. We love a good Chinese restaurant. With that being said as you can see in the picture my daughter didn’t even touch her food and he didn’t eat either. So no we are not impressed. This was our first time here and we will not be coming again.

Smaller sized buffet compared with other buffets but cozy atmosphere. Very clean too. Each dish is delicious. Food is uniquely flavorful: Roasted Chicken, BBQ ribs, chicken sticks, and shrimp served 4 ways (fried, coconut, salt and pepper, and spicy garlic) were fantastic and my personal favorites. The ribs melt in your mouth. Go for the dinner time menu to get all the shrimp! Live out of town but always make it a point to eat here.

I used to go here regularly and quite enjoyed it. Over the past few months I have noticed a marked decline in the food quality. Given inflation I attributed it to the cost of supplies and gave them several more opportunities to improve. Unfortunately the decline has gained momentum and now the staff seem disgruntled and down right rude as well. My final experience was when my family went out for dinner on a Friday evening around 7pm. The buffet appeared picked over and many items appeared dried out as if they had been sitting out far too long. The items that were salvageable enough to attempt to eat were so over salted or drenched in other seasoning as to make it inedible. We’re they using this as an attempt to mask lesser quality cuts of meat or perhaps foods that are at or beyond the use by dates? I can not say. About 24 -36 hours after eating here each person from our party began suffering from severe stomach issues while the balance of our family that did not dine with us remained the picture of health. Not sure if this is mere coincidence or not but I don’t intend to give it a second chance. I’m very disappointed in seeing a once good restaurant sink so low.

My kids and I had a good experience eating here. The food was delicious! Lots of seafood options, chicken, fried foods. Some vegetable options as well, although I wish there were more vegetable dishes available. The sushi was very, very good! And my kids loved that there is ice cream for dessert. The restaurant appeared clean, and the staff was very nice.
