It's been 2 years, so I made it back down to this Buffet today (and longer than that over to the awesome real Hong Kong!). Ok, so I was joined this time by Jackie R. and Mike C. Comparing it to yesterday's Buffet at Shanghai up in the north part of town, the selection was about the same size, with the food here a little bit fancier. I enjoyed some Sweet & Sour Pork, for instance, which we don't usually see, the Coconut Chicken had some Walnut halves sprinkled in, and there was a noodle dish with a dab of duck. Also, there's Mongolian BBQ here, the dining room is a little nicer, and they have a full bar, unusual for a Chinese Buffet (but lost on me).\n\nThe table service was good, but I still don't care for the unique \"feature\" of having to ask for Sushi here, and this is the Valley's second most expensive Asian Buffet, after Jasmine Tokyo, a place that's really something. Also, many items were either not identified or mislabeled today, and they didn't have all the food out at opening time.\n\nI'm going to have to go with a high 3 Stars for Hong Kong Gourmet this time, where the Lunch Buffet prices were $9.49/$8.54 Sr. on this weekday. :-)
