Wan Bo Buffet

We stopped in the restaurant for a quick bite to eat before heading back to Allentown, PA and it was about closing time but they still sat us down at a table and we choose the food that we wanted. The employees were very friendly and accommodating and friendly. But the food was very cold and when I asked the employee if she could heat the food up by microwave, she said, "They do not have a microwave", with a smile and apologized. For Two (2) people, my bill was over Thirty(30) dollars. The cashier was very nice to take off eight(8) dollars and just charge me Thirty(30) dollars. I was pleased with that gesture, but I did not leave a tip and I and my friend will not eat there again.
Suggestions: If you are about to close let patrons know that the burners have been turned off and the food may be cold or cooled, then if they still want to take that chance, then it is on them.
I just feel that I was taken advantage of and I was taken. Not a good business practice at all!

The food quality was good, the staff was very friendly. It was a nice place to stop for dinner on a roadtrip. The dining area walkway was a bit small; so if kids step out of their seats it can feel crowded. Besides that, everything was pretty great.

Here on a Wednesday. And I’m stating this because perhaps it’s better on a Friday or Saturday to have such great reviews? This place has 3.9 stars so I’m curious when the food would be almost a 4⭐️ because on Wednesday nights is not that great. If Google would do 1/2 ⭐️ I’d rate the food tonight at 2.5 ⭐️. Now I did find a few items that were better than the rest and I will list those so read on
General Tao’s chicken was good but I have had better
The chicken wings were great
The tempura fried shrimp were tasty
Everything else was either over cooked and mushy or was old and dried out.
The chicken wings, ok I said I can eat these and be done until this lady in a scooter rolls up to the buffet and begins to build a scaled down version of the Egyptian pyramids. I’m guessing she stacked a good 30 wings on her plate. It was actually quite the site to see this being built and I’m estimating that she had at least 10” of chicken wing vertical height happening. Unfortunately for me they didn’t replace the wings, I guess in fear that one of the sphinx would be constructed next. I pickle around with small portions so not to be wasteful but there wasn’t any thing to be excited about and certainly nothing worthy of a 4 stars.
Second plate in the waitress brings the check and says “thank you for coming”in a loud voice like I was old with the large outside the ear hearing aids, my grandpa used to wear and then ignores me the rest of the evening. Don’t you just hate that ugh.
I don’t recommend eating here just look at the picture of the soup they had out. Again maybe on a weekend this is the place to be but I’d pass on this place during the week.
So food 👎🏼
Service 👎🏼
Price for what was offered tonight 👎🏼
Happy eating

I came here for lunch with my daughter on Memorial Day 2023. Many other restaurants in town we’re closed.

Despite all the bad reviews, I was very impressed with it. The food was refreshed consistently, not cold at all and very tasty.

There are some basic kind of rules for a place like this.

For example, don’t expect the baked clams or the sushi to be good. I skipped those and stuck to Chinese dishes.

Bonus was the diversity of items, ice cream for example. Watermelon, banana etc. Nice for kids.

I will agree that the interior is dated, but I understand renovations cost of ton of money. It did not seem overly dirty to me. The staff was nice. Would definitely come back.

Food luke-warm and insipid. Wide selection of fruits and desserts. During this short review, the buffet's offerings were changed twice, so at least the rotation is fresh. Staff friendly enough. The furnishings are somewhat run down (not dirty, just showing wear and tear). Parking out front. Overall, good value for the price paid. Vending machines selling knick-knacks for kids (stickers and candies).
