San Diego Reader

Although I had eaten here several times years ago, I was drawn back because of the Reader ads for lobster on the Sundays. In Asian buffets, a place is either good, okay, or horrible. It was an "Okay+." I wasn't disappointed, but it wasn't great (no buffet can ever be "great, its a buffet, serving mass quantities of food in warming trays.) The lobster was chopped up, but still in the shell. Good if you can find a piece of the tail with meat in it. Most of the pieces are the claws, and usually were picked over by other dinners. Frog legs were a treat, don't see those often. Plenty of yummy choices for anyone. It did seem that the kitchen was a little slow restocking some of the popular items, like crab legs or oysters, but we were eating at 1:30 on a Sunday, a little after the Sunday brunch/lunch rush. I would go again, best in the Convey area that I've tried so far, but there are better buffets around town. Also like most buffets, I don't understand why they give you the thinnest, one use napkins on the world. Does it really pay to have your customers go through a whole pile of napkins because they are so thin?
