The place seems to have changed hands and is now "Eastar Buffet." I stopped in at 6PM on a Friday and there was NOBODY in the dining room -- I should have taken my cue from that and gone elsewhere. The food had clearly been sitting in the warming trays a long time. Congealed sauces, lukewarm egg rolls, cheese wontons so stale and sharp I nearly cut my mouth on one. Years ago they had small but decent salt-and-pepper shrimp, but now the shrimp sit in a tray of water (soggy! aren't crisp shells part of the basic requirements for salt-and-pepper shrimp?). General Tso's chicken was stringy and coated in a sauce that was overloaded with sugar. Crab legs were sitting in a pool of water and seemed fairly tasteless. Pepper steak was weirdly pale (was it beef??) and chewy. So disappointing -- as Old China Buffet the place was mediocre but acceptable in a pinch; but this was probably the worst Chinese buffet I've had. Pros: Free parking, Uptown location Cons: Poor-quality, stale food

Quality has suffered lately. The food choices have been reduced, and they pour hot food in over old food, ruining both. It's not as clean as used to be. Their parking lot has ALWAYS been a mess in the winter. Pros: In Uptown Cons: Menu's been cut, Cleanliness, Cold/old food

The best aspect of this restaurant, besides the great food, is that they deliver in the Uptown area. The food arrives hot, and they serve generous portions. The prices are very reasonable. Nothing like fresh, delicious Chinese food delivered to your home by courteous drivers! The menu items are delicious! This restaurant also serves an all-you-can-eat buffet for lunch and supper. It is usually quiet in the evenings, so it's easy to find a quiet table in the corner. Great for spontaneous dining! Pros: Tasty food, home delivery, great prices Cons: small restaurant, menu better than buff
