We went about a month ago in January for lunch on a Monday and it was fantastic. Not super crowded, every tray was full and staff were constantly monitoring and tidying up the buffet. Lots of interesting dishes, given that it's vegetarian. They had an especially nice broccoli and “chicken” and everything was fresh. So needless to say we were excited to go again. We did notice the negative reviews, but we decided to give them another try anyway. Unfortunately the negative reviews were right. We went on Monday the 20th, at 1pm. It seems it was a special day in buddhism so it was crowded but we had reservations so seating was no problem. Sadly, lots of empty trays and limited variety, and no more chicken and broccoli, no more jelly desserts. It was such a major disappointment. We really hoped this place would succeed and of course I hope the owners see this and take note. Not sure if there's a system or a plan they use, but when we were leaving at about 2, they started refilling again really fast, but too late for us. But, still less variety. So to be fair, for the price, it was a fantastic value the first time. The second time I'd say your getting about what you pay for, and given how crowded and pushy some of the elderly customers were, you might want to give it a pass, unless they improve. There is another good, non buffet vegetarian restaurant just around the corner so that might suit you better. Dear owners, please bring back the variety and quick refills!
