City Buffet – Chinese Buffet

October 5, 2009

I’ve eaten at a lot of buffet-style places with Chinese food, like Soho Cafe in the National Press Building, but this was the first all-you-can-eat buffet I’ve been to so far, and it was much cheaper than any of those other places that weren’t all-you-can-eat. And the food was really good. Unlike Soho Cafe, however, the selection here wasn’t that great. There was the standard Chinese take-out fare: Sweet and sour chicken, General Tso’s chicken, noodles, fried rice, you get the idea. But it was all cooked very well. The restaurant itself is very spacious and clean. Maybe even a little too clean. An elderly lady sitting behind me started complaining loudly about how her food and her plate tasted like bleach. She went on to accuse the staff of not rinsing off the plates well enough. I didn’t have any complaints, this is a very good place to eat if you want to avoid crowds and stuff your face with as much Chinese takeout food you can handle.
