I've heard pretty good things about George & Sons. Those people don't know what they're talking about. A friend and I went for the buffet. A buffet that was supposed to be of a higher quality. \n\nIt isn't. It's not bad, just not better. \n\nGeorge and Sons buffet is about the same as every other Chinese buffet I've been to except it's small, really small. Not just in number of dishes (which is 12) but in how much of each dish is made. There is little of each dish put out at a time. Initially, I thought this was good. Small batches ensures food will always be fresh, right? However, I didn't try a couple of dishes because there was never any there. The staff would bring out more noodles, one to two people would take a plate, load up and then, all gone. No more noodles. The same went for the Stir-Fry Veggies and the Tempura Veggies. Bummer. \n\nOf the dishes I did try, I was most impressed by the Sesame Chicken. It wasn't syrupy like most, it was crispy and very lightly coated in a sweet sauce. It's the best Sesame Chicken I've ever had but that's not a dish I eat outside a buffet setting, traditionally. \n\nMy favorite part of the Chinese buffet (besides the tapioca pudding, of course) are Pot Stickers. George and Son's are among the worst I've had. The flavor was OK but they were soggy. The wrapper would fall apart when gripped by my chopsticks. Grilling those bad boys, postcooking, would make them much better. \n\nThe staff was super-attentive and friendly. Points for that. I noticed a bowl of Wonton chips at the bar, provided for \"thirstier\" patrons, free of cost. Nice touch. \n\nOverall, George & Son's isn't bad but it wasn't the quality buffet I was expecting. It's nothing special.
