City Wok Thai Buffet

As I've posted before, I really like the food Sala Thai at City Wok for lunch. I think the food is very good for a buffet, selection is very interesting and you can't beat the price. Environment of course is very lacking, but if all I'm looking for is a quick tasty lunch within walking distance, I'm with Matthew: I go there probably once every two weeks and really enjoy this escape from the office...

Decent pad thai (not as good as Simply Thai) and an excellent thai chicken salad. Definitely worth 6 bucks.

Okay, I'm a little reluctant to say this because I love it when everybody can agree. But I expressed some doubt about Sala Thai City Wok earlier in the thread, and since have been back two more times in a serious, honest effort to give it a fair chance. I also went back to Thai Taste to compare it to the only other Thai buffet I know of locally.

Yesterday's lunch at Sala Thai City Wok, though, was the last straw. It was the least appetizing Thai food I have ever had in my life. I literally couldn't eat most of it and ended up throwing most of my lunch away. I <I>never</I> do this.

Please note that I am not dissing Sala Thai's regular restaurant. It's the No. 1 Thai restaurant in town, in my opinion. But I just don't see it at the City Wok property, and I don't see myself going back there again.

I will go back to Thai Taste, although to be honest, buffet service isn't the best way to serve any Asian food. Order off the menu at Thai restaurants, that's my advice.

I think they do a fantastic job with their lunch buffet at Sari Sari. In my opinion, it is one of the top Asian buffets in the city. I also like Shalimar's lunch buffet quite a bit.

Robin you broke the first rule of all buffet eating...never go on Monday.

Loved that one.

Note, however, that this was my third try. The other test runs were on a Wednesday and a Thursday, as I recall.
