Wow! I pay less than $10 in any of the restaurants here (Michigan).

Where the hell is the $25 dollar per person buffets? When I go around here it's 8.99 or so a person.

lol all you people who say the food sucks are going to the wrong places. a place I went to in Tempe had some of the best food I've every had, included suschi and mongolian fry in the price for 11 bucks for dinner. or for lunch for 799 without suchi and mongolian fry.

in michigan pickings are a bit slimer but I know of a couple good ones for under 10 bucks a head that are very good

Go to Old Szechuan restaurant in Chinatown or Bellevue near Sears.
That hot pot buffet is mad fine.

Chinese Buffets >>>>>>>>>>>>> Hometown Buffet.

Hometown is great the first few times, but you can only go there like once every 6 months or else you get sick of it. Fresh Chocie is not that great either. Only salad and soup are good. FVCK the pizza.

Chinese Buffet on the other hand..

WHo here is from the Bay Area? Crazy Buffet? Super Buffet? $8 lunch and get like 500 dishes available to you? HAHAHAHA I love this place. I always eat about 6 full plates of stuff, and I have to get dragged out by my friends.

Yup, American buffets made me sick too (Old Country/Golden Corral) so I try to avoid them altogether.

They got your money sucker!

And it only makes you sick when you get so greedy that you attempt to eat more than the price you pay. Which is just stupid.
