one of the best Chinese buffets around. yes, it suffers from the same pitfalls of other buffets: sometimes you might choose something that isn't perfectly hot or fresh. this is just the \"nature of the beast\" when it comes to buffets. truth is, they are at a disadvantage to a regular restaurant. if you are at a non-buffet restaurant and are served food that is luke-warm, you have a legitimate complaint. but lets be honest, it comes with the territory at buffets, and there is no easy answer. some say they should just put out smaller amounts. well, ok, but they can't really make the replacement serving until that one is gone, so then the complaint will be that the food keeps running out. if your food is actually cold, let them know so they can do something about it. otherwise, if you expect everything you eat to perfectly fresh and hot, you really should stay away from buffets. I took that much time on that issue because I feel some people have completely unreasonable expectations at buffets. it's the same as if I went to a regular restaurant and complained that I didn't get a huge selection of food and could eat all I wanted for one low price!\nnow, to get specific about Journey....to be honest, I would say the quality is the same as other buffets that I have ranked highly, but where they really shine is selection. an entire row of sushi, with 2 guys right behind the buffet making it fresh. this is one area I would say the quality is above other buffets. for buffet sushi, this stuff is really, really good. fresh, lots of flavor, huge variety to choose from. they have a better than average Mongolian grill available, usually at least 4 different kinds of soup, a salad bar, nice assortment of fruits, soft serve ice cream you can put in either a cone or a bowl, pre-packaged containers of vanilla, chocolate or strawberry ice cream, the usual assortment of cakes and cookies, and even on the lunch buffet you can get fried scallops (imitation, i'm guessing, but still good), fried shrimp, salmon that was much more flavorful than usual, and the usual selection of Chinese dishes along with many choices you never see at other buffets. as I said, the selection is great at this place. i'm really surprised they can offer the lunch buffet for only $8.45. personally, I've never had anything here that was cold, tasted like it had been sitting for a while or lacked in flavor. the place is also very clean, plenty of seating available and has a much more upscale look than other buffets. and the service has always been really good as well. if you enjoy Chinese buffets and know what to expect in terms of quality, you have to give this place a try.
