This place has definitely changed owners recently!!!\r
\r
The first thing I noticed was the place was quieter and there was no hustle going on. The ""Claw"" toy vending machine is gone, and the friendly cashier was replaced by a very stressed out manager looking guy. The new crew clearly doesn't care, or never worked in food service- nobody made eye contact with us as we stood there for several minutes to be seated. One of the two waitresses was busy correcting someone's bill- probably needed a freebie. We watched one of the staff wipe the buffet and toss a piece of food BACK into the warming tray that was sitting on the counter (we should have walked out right then!).\r

Looking back, when I looked at the customers that were seated and eating, their expressions were telling me, ""Get out while you can!"" Our server barely spoke English, and I was surprised to find out they don't have crab legs to add to the buffet order. The food looks like it was reheated every day since the last guys were there. Not a lot of food in the buffet, overcooked dry instant (?) rice, and nothing looked appetizing. We left after finding only 2 things we considered eating. We put our plates in the bins of dirty plates that sat at the edge of the dining area (gross!)- is this a sign that they want diners to clear their own plates as they go?? \r

None of the people in the restaurant looked happy- I kind of felt sorry for them that they didn't have the guts to walk out like I did!!\r

The China Buffet's days are numbered. DO NOT GO THERE!
