Written
from
an
American
point
of
view.
For
the
Germans,
this
place
is
an
amazing,
unique
experience.
I
have
to
admit,
the
size
is
impressive:
the
largest
Asian
buffet
I
have
yet
seen.
This
is
a
description
of
a
Friday
evening
experience.
Situated
in
a
strip-mall,
restaurant
parking
is
adequate.
Germans
are
not
used
to
paying
on
entry,
but
Americans
are.
Tables
have
numbers,
and
little
clothespins
you
clamp
to
your
plate
for
the
Mongolian
buffet
with
that
number
on
it.
You
collect
your
items,
take
the
plate
to
the
grill,
and
then
a
server
brings
it
to
the
table.
Comments
about
the
wait
time
are
correct:
we
were
waiting
up
to
20
minutes
for
the
grill
food
to
be
cooked
&
brought.
Service
staff
appears
mildly
interested,
and
used
plates
were
cleared
within
10
minutes.
Comments
about
servers’
attitudes
seem
correct.
I
had
asked
at
the
outset
about
additives,
and
never
got
a
response
from
that
server.
I
asked
again
later,
&
learned
that
each
offering
had
numbers
to
provide
information
about
additives:
helpful,
because
with
some
health
issues,
I
have
to
avoid
MSG:
it
was
in
nearly
every
product,
so
I
stuck
with
the
grill
and
a
few
non-MSG
products.
The
beverages
are
included,
except
for
alcohol,
which
is
where
I
suspect
they
make
a
large
profit.
Signs
prohibit
taking
drinks
out
of
the
restaurant:
I
learned
they
had
problems
with
families
smuggling
a
supply
out
when
they
left….
Being
a
Friday,
several
large
groups
were
there
celebrating
their
Sabbath,
and
that’s
what
led
to
my
conversation
with
the
manager:
absolutely
no
control
or
supervision
of
the
children
in
those
groups.
Kids
screaming,
running
around,
and
one
toddler
in
a
diaper
(that’s
it)
crawling
around
and
handling
the
plates
at
the
buffet:
the
adults
were
too
busy
on
their
phones….
Manager
said
best
nights
to
come
are
Tuesday
to
Thursday:
we’ll
be
back
to
try
one
of
those
days,
because
the
children
loved
the
variety
and
the
chance
to
try
new
foods
like
Kangaroo.
With
fewer
people,
it’s
likely
the
serving
staff
and
grill
cooks
will
have
less
pressure,
and
the
buffet
will
present
a
cleaner
appearance.
I
would
recommend
this
for
Americans,
too,
as
at
least
50%
of
the
serving
staff
spoke
English
(not
the
same
50%
that
were
heavily
tattooed)
For
the
variety
and
the
ability
to
choose
your
adventure,
the
price
is
good,
even
$30
for
one
adult.
