curly and i went too try a local buffet called koy wan and we liked it... flawed, like most buffets... and maybe more flaws than i'd like and i am looking away and diminishing them because other things appeared very good... like sushi, which is tough to make very good on a buffet... and ribs and other things, though the peking duck was very skimpy and fatty and some pieces dried out... maybe few people eat it... the flaws were fruit that was left out too long... and ice cream that had a sour milk smell coming from the scooper wash that definitely did not circulate and was not empties and cleaned often enough... that> is a major flaw... i looked up the place on the state inspection site and found typical violations in their last inspection in april of this year (78 violations, 14 critical), some critical (but many restaurants and other food preparing and serving establishments like hospitals, for instance, have some critical violations... the question is are they repeated and the norm and that requires repeated inspections)... the past four inspections showed a pattern of poor temperature control which would be precisely why the fruit and ice cream issues would happen and makes me wonder if the sushi is consistently safe... curly did find some off-tasting shishami... ok, so other buffets might be better...
checking the other local buffets, new peking buffet had much better results in their last inspection last month (and is cheaper)... past inspections showed improvements and a much better record than the koy wan... and the other local on, world gourmet, had good inspection in the only one it has had (it's new)... so the koy wan drops down on the list, like i might not be back...
splurging this weekend, huh?... time to stop now... shhhh, i know :)
