- Mongolian beefWhere's the beef? He found one piece in the whole tray. Mostly vegetables, but 'it's all right'.02:00
- SushiA 'micro amount' of cream cheese: 'That's the entire budget blown right on that one.'02:41
- Barbecue ribsLike a McRib before it becomes a McRib. Not fantastic, and it tastes like hand sanitizer.01:46

What he said
“Does the number one China Buffet deserve 2.7 stars? I, I'm gonna have to say it's. We're gonna give it a lower score. We're gonna go two stars. Nothing tasted great, and there's no fucking pizza.”
“You mean to tell me a crab gooned in this? It do taste a little funky. I am not [gooning] in this establishment.”
“This is probably one of the saddest ribs I've ever seen in my life. This is about Mcrib level.”
“Uh, where's the beef? Oh, wait, I got one. There's like One in there. Don't worry, guys, we found it.”
“I mean, there's no fortune cookie. How am I going to even continue with my day not knowing what my fortune is going to pertain to?”
“The AI art on the wall is just frying me, dude.”
