China Fair is usually one of my favorite places to get Chinese food. But, today the meal was terrriibbllee!
We had the lunch buffet. The fried rice was cold, the sweet sour chicken's coating was very greasy, the honey coated shrimp seemed like it was missing the shrimp, and the hot water had been shut off on the tea machine, so they couldn't even serve tea. Everything seemed greasy and old. Besides, a slight air of grease hung over the whole place.
Maybe they were having a bad day, but I don't need poor food. I won't be heading their again for some time. Boo, China Fair.

Chinese food can be tough - sometimes it's delicious and sometimes it sucks. Better luck next time.
Monte and I went to a Chinese buffet a few weeks ago and it was "adequate," which is our polite way of saying "not very good." The worst part was that I couldn't sleep that night. After tossing and turning for hours, I turned on the computer to look up "MSG" and "insomnia." Yup, there is a connection. So now we ask if Chinese restaurants use that stuff. Last Friday night--our "date night"--we went to Kang's Asian Bistro and had a wonderful dinner and an even more wonderful dessert, Banana Tempura. Yummmmmm.
The best bet is to ignore the buffet and go for a menu item. BTW Golden Chopsticks is better.
Welcome Barbara and Monte.
