My hometown Chinese place is still around but the family that ran it left for NYC after their daughter graduated in my class. The different owners just aren't the same and neither is the food. They had some of the best rangoons, Mongolian beef, and General Tso's. They even had the lil fried sesame balls filled with red bean for a dessert. Could be worse OP. I'd rather it be gone than be a shell of what it once was. Miss it all the time desu

Sorry. That was me stuffing the rice down the cracks of the booth. Since they won't put out just sashimi or use less rice in the rolls, I gotta do something with it.

I'm sorry to hear that Anon. I'll remember your plight next time I go to my own local Chinese buffet.
Broader discussion topic: what's the strangest dish that your local buffet has on the regular? Mine does chicken katsu with a peanut butter sauce. It's surprisingly good.

My nearest closed but the other two are just a mile farther down. One of them expanded in September, buying an abandoned store next door. Somehow, they stayed in business while renos were being done.

lmao
The two I just mentioned are in the same shopping plaza, across the lot from each other and there's a huge cat colony behind said plaza. Like HUGE huge. White bitches that ain't got shut going on in their lives go back there and build little houses and shit and feed the cats.

At least it didn't have a shift in quality that was tangible immediately when it happened, and you thought it was a fluke, but when you got raw chicken the second time, it was confirmed by reviews to have completely changed into a shitty ass restaurant, rather than the best chinese food you ever had.

Shame. Where else can you get this exact kind of pizza? It seems specific to Chinese buffets. No other shitty pizza is quite like it.

Same thing happened to ours. It was well lit, hot and fresh food and it was clean. Fastfoward 8 years and new owners. Place got dim, food didn't seem as fresh and was clearly food company processed and the staff were rude as fuck. Funny thing about those bean balls, had a Cambodiain coworker eat 54 of those bastards on top of his three plates. Asian ladies were all pissed off.

Mine's still running, but the quality went down after the father of the family running it retired. From 1991 until 2016, I had access to the finest pork fried rice ever created. So, I guess this is growing up.

I'll never understand the economics of buffets. All it takes to bankrupt them is for one fat person, even a compeitor eating maliciously, to buy a ticket, sit down and start eating to seriously damage their razor thin margins

Here you sit down, order a drink, then go to the buffet and pick what you want. The waiter comes periodically asking if you want a refill or are you finished and they give you the bill.

Could be worse, a new chinese buffet opened nearby a week before covid. I heard they were amazing having bao buns and all kinds of cool stuff most places don't have. But I didn't get a chance to go right away and then shtf and by the time I got to go later on they were a hollow shell and worse than the already established buffets. I'll forever seethe about what I missed out on.

Buffet near me is $30 on weekdays for lunch and $50 on saturdays just for the buffet. I can go through 4 overflowing plates but that's at most $15 worth of food. Plus when I get $4 bottomless coke it's not more than 25 cents worth of syrup.

There's only a couple chain ones left near me. It's sad, all the classic Chinese restaurants are dying because their kids don't want to continue the business. Even the factory that made the almond cookies all the places used closed. Now we only have authentic Chinese restaurants opening instead of the comfy version

It's a law of numbers thing it's yes you're gonna have maybe one fat ass that will double the cost of the food but you're also going to have tons of normal people that you can charge the shit out of. Basically casino economics

The chinese place I went to in high school all the time shut down. I used to think I had a special relationship with the owners and it was our little secret. They'd give me free shit for no reason. Then I talked to my dad about the closure and he literally started crying manly tears. Apparently it wasn't just me. Real family run chinese restaurants are one of the best things in life.

In central business districts, there are numerous buffets that do by weight only (a very, very small number do AYCE, but they're not as common). By plate? Never seen that but by weight is extremely common.
I took a friend to one back in 2019 or so because I told him how it was the best, most varied buffet ever. He conceded the point after getting japchae, Jamaican jerk pork, corn batter fried shrimp, collards with smoked turkey and some other shit all on the same plate. I told him to get the crab meat egg rolls and he lost his fucking mind at how good they are. If you get there in the morning to grab a quick muffin or something since it's a deli/bodega that just happens to have a buffet, you can see the grandma sitting in the back near the self service water thingy stuffing the egg rolls herself using canned crab meat.
