text: Mark this as another chapter in \"What were you thinking???!!!!\"   This was our third time to the Golden Corral.   The last time was in Hanover, Maryland.  As tourist in Maryland, we were full of crab cakes before we ate at the Golden Corral.  So this time should've been different.   Wrong again!   The coworkers took me to Seoul Garden in Tustin for my birthday lunch.  Seoul Garden is a buffet.  The coworkers and I ate so much, that I was still full from lunch at dinnertime.  But, the wife and daughter needed to celebrate my birthday.  I was thinking Osaka Seafood Buffet, but, with me being so full, I thought Golden Corral was a better and cheaper choice.  I am not sure if it was a good choice.  \n\nThe Good:   The Cashier.  I told her that I wasn't hungry and that she should give me the Senior discount.   She did.  The fried chicken was good.  \n\nThe Bad:  The steak.  I asked for rare, and got medium.   I tried again, and got it raw.  Also bad was going there when you are not hungry and wasting $11.  The waiter forgot to bring us water.   I had to ask him twice.   \n\nThe Ugly:   The disabled lady that my wife saw take two bites out of a biscuit while waiting in line, and decided she didn't like it, and puts it back with all the other biscuits.    It is weird to see that I am one of the skinniest people in the Golden Corral (and I am not skinny).  Even though this place is owned by an Asian, as evidenced by the incense that they burn outside in the front planter, and the plants with red ribbons given as a gift for their grand opening, they really should'nt be following the Golden Corral's recipes for Chinese food.   You can't serve imitation Chinese food with so many Chinese restaurants in the vicinity.\n\nThe last two visits to the Golden Corral have been a waste of time and money.   I may have to give them another chance.  \n\nIf you come on a weekday before 6PM, there is no wait.\n\n2 1/2 stars!
