Asian Buffet
Arlington, TX

Chaotic and magical: tamales, horchata, soup dumplings and a roast beef that slaps. The goons were close enough and good, but the ribs were TV-dinner grade. He jumps it from Yelp's 3.4 to 4.3: 'who has tamales.'
$20.56/person · above his typical cost ($4.61 more than the $15.95 median)
- Rangoons Goonin'
- Pizza YesHe manhandles the slice getting it out ('I'm sorry') and it's too hot to pick up. Later: almost a DiGiorno, a poorly cooked one.
- Desserts Chocolate banana on a stick, Fortune cookie
