What he said
“Does the China Buffet deserve 2.5 stars? Yeah. I mean, it's about as average as I would imagine a 2.5 star buffet would be.”
“Biting into some crab rangoons and it tastes like sour cream and onion chips. I'm most certainly not gooning in this establishment.”
“This is a small and shady Chinese buffet if I've ever seen one.”
“Every buffet out here is literally named Fucking Great Wall or China Buffet.”
“It's literally just an old McDonald's chicken nugget.”
“This paper looks like it hasn't been removed in months. This has to be an everyday special.”
What he didn't love
- Food on the line: One item looked like it had been sitting a while, and it was kind of greasy. 02:30
- Restroom: The stall was so short his toes poked out under it. Not cool, he says. 02:01
- Crowd: They were the only customers during peak hours, which he found a little concerning. 00:47
