Super Buffet

Super Buffet
Two Words — DON’T BOTHER
It was with a heavy heart that I found out our beloved Miyagi’s Japanese buffet had closed. Sad, but not surprising, as our last visit was less than spectacular. However, from the ashes of the old restaurant, a new buffet restaurant rose from them, like a legendary phoenix. Super Buffet!
Too bad the phoenix is made out of fecal material.
For those familiar with the old Miyagi’s layout, let me paint you a picture. All the Japanese theme art? Gone (though since it was a Chinese buffet, that was to be expected). The long sushi display? Gone. Hibachi? Gone.
In its place were four buffet stands. They could have, and should have added more stands, as the food on hand was less than expansive. Since they didn’t, there’s a huge open space near the cash register. It’s a poor layout and use of space.
But enough about that. «What about the food?» you ask. Let me tell you. I’ve been to many buffet restaurants in my time and although the quality of the food was not terrible, there were hardly ANY actual Chinese food offerings. One stand was dedicated to salads, fruits, and desserts. One stand was completely nothing but SEAFOOD. You know, the kind you can get at ANY seafood place around. One stand had your standard Chinese fare — Sweet & Sour chicken, egg rolls, and General Tso’s chicken. But that was it. The last stand had the Chinese food fighting a losing battle with French fries and CHICKEN NUGGETS. Banquet brand chicken nuggets, by the taste of them.
The reason why I’m so hard on the place was what they charged. Two adult dinner buffet and one child buffet came to $ 36.00, and that was with a 15% off coupon. $ 36.00 bucks for less Chinese food variety than a Panda Express? Sorry, I’ll pass. For that amount of money, my family can have a meal with leftovers at Cheddar’s!
