What he said
“I'm gonna say no. I'm gonna say we're gonna bump it up to four stars.”
“These are actually really good. It's like McDonald's chicken nuggets, but, like, probably a lot better.”
“this is probably the soggiest crab Rangoon I've ever picked up in my life.”
“But no pizza would have been five. Would have been five.”
“This is one of the biggest Chinese buffets I've been to. It even includes a whole hot pot buffet.”
“I mean, I wish they would have asked us if we wanted hot pot.”
What he didn't love
- Service: Staff seated them for the Chinese buffet without offering the hot pot side. He was fine with it, but kept saying he wished they'd asked. 01:08
