summer palace chinese restaurant

I really don’t see how this place is open, And has 4 stars at that. When we arrived we had been in the car awhile and went immediately to the bathroom. The smell of sewage hit us like a brick wall and was making my 5yr old gag non stop. then BLACK MOLD is taking over the bathroom. From then on I couldn’t help but analyze everything because if the bathroom smelled unbearable and there is mold and nastiness then what’s in the food. The food was warm but not like just cooked hot. The way soem of it looked made me think it’s being warmed over and over and put back out. but some of the food had an off taste therefore I didn’t eat any meat or seafood because I was too worried about food poisoning. The place is just really dirty. When we got home sure enough we all had messed up stomachs.

We went to the buffet on Christmas Day since it’s tradition. Some of the food was delicious, some of it wasn’t as good. I think the beef items were especially disappointing this visit. I recommend the noodles, rice, and deserts. The chicken was questionable and the beef was really tough. The service was good though. They seemed to keep the buffet moving and full. All and all if buffets are your thing it wasn’t too bad, but if you want quality I recommend going somewhere else.

I went here on a whim. I usually don't like eating at buffets because the food quality can be very hit or miss depending on the time of day among other things. I was pleasantly surprised by both the variety and the quality of the food. It was hot, and tasty! Can't ask for much more from any restaurant. The server lady who attended to me was also fantastic. I went during the lunch rush about noon or so.

It was ight.. Food (2/5): Negative - Overall Bland (some of the pork was not cooked to my liking, saw a bit too much pink) Positive - Noodles and rice were okay, enjoyable with some soy sauce. - Egg drop soup was good - Dessert was good. Hard to mess up fruit. Price (2/5): - Was a little too high for the quality and ambiance. $15.99 for adults for the experience is a bit steep. Atmosphere (3/5): - The inside did not give a clean/nice Chinese buffet feeling. Service (4/5): - Waitress was attentive for the most part, other reviews talk about feeling rushed but did not experience that. They do stare at times but I believe is take care of customers. Host was kind as well. Overall (3/5): - Food could be more fresh. The same could be said for the atmosphere. I would say good for family’s looking for a simple Chinese buffet but the price is a bit steep.

If I'd known seeing aLL the the obesity human beings shoving food down there guts before entering this establishment ,I'd dineD in style at another locale! Curious how many wash their hands handling all the utensils- Q? Where's the customers hands been before handling food items! Disgusts the kitchen from the distance did not look appealing! No point of RETURN ! UNDERSTOOD!
