Hong Kong Buffet - Neenah

I used to love this place, the food there now is not the same, some bland (sushi), some stale (honey chicken). The general tso's is spicy. The chow mai fun was okay.

New owners and the food and service isn't anywhere near as good as it used to be. If you have been here before I'd skip it. It's such a shame to see a great place fall apart with new owners.

Google Maps brought us to the parking lot in back of the building where there is another entrance, but we drove around the front to enter through the street entrance instead. You'll see their sign and another sign for A Healing Place. Go through that door and it'll bring you to their door on the right. We were greeted right away and offered a couple of different booths to sit at. I can only tell you that we paid $15.25 on a Sunday, which I think might be the most expensive. The price list is at the entrance of the buffet, but I didn't take a photo since I already took so many. Drinks are extra, so we got water, but I think soda is only $1.79 and includes refills. I saw a sign that stated they offer 80+ items. I didn't count but am pretty sure it's true (see photos! . Choices range from salad, sushi, soup, and both traditional and new-to-me Chinese food! I didn't try peanut butter chicken or the steamed wontons since those weren't really standard stuff to me. I ate a lot of cocktail shrimp and a lot of standard Chinese fares like the mayo shrimp (walnut shrimp without the walnuts , chicken with broccoli (normally with beef , and chicken w/mushroom. Lo mein was kind of like our chow mean (eating Chinese food outside of the Bay Area is sometimes challenging . Initially it wasn't hot, so I'm not sure if that means their steam table isn't work. I also tried the BBQ chicken, which had a hint of hoisin sauce (not American BBQ sauce anyway . Some items like the steamed flounder was a little salty, and in general some items tasted very similar because they are made using similar ingredients, so keep this in mind. The highlights for me were the cocktail shrimp, a sushi that had multiple sauce on it, vegetarian egg role, and green beans. I think I ate 4-5 plates before going for dessert. Cantaloupe was very sweet, jello was okay, but that cooler of ice cream was a nice touch. The ladies working there were very nice.

The buffet isn't too bad a bit pricey though. DO NOT USE THIS PLACE FOR ODERING OUT THOUGH. We had swore off doing this due to weird quality issues but due to the snowstorm we went for close proximity, we paid for it. Our order of general tsao was really the worst Asian food any of us had ever had. I believe it was actually chicken at one time but it was so hard ALL the way through and crunchy that it seemed like they had microwaved is WAY to long or something so that is hardened it up to the point that it was virtually not edible. The only thing edible was the broccoli, so we paid $13 for limp broccoli. I believe now that they don't even pull the orders from the buffet food. It seems like old buffet food from a fridge the microwaved upon an order. Because there is no other way to virtually have the meat inside the breading disappear??

Ordered chicken chow mein, won ton soup spring rolls. Chow mein had no noodles, was slimy soggy pile of boiled looking chicken onions and celery. Inedible. The soup tasted like soap and canned condensed broth. Spring rolls were marginally edible, as was the fried rice that came with the chow mein, but nothing I would ever order again. Overall a big disappointment.
