Very rude, snooty staff! So tired of servers who are clearly Asian, speak broken English if any English, but have name tags like "Samantha" "Joan" etc... These buffets need investigated!

A Two Star Review posted:

Food was decent for buffet. Sadly, the food was overshadowed by the Communistic treatment! We had to ask for refills on pop...no one was going to offer, this was I'm sure to save a few cents on any wasted pop leftover in the glasses. They have a policy plastered on their entrance...if you leave too much food on your plate, they charge you 20%!!!!! Um, the customer will decide what they can or cannot eat or want to eat!!!! Another customer next to us that had been there several times confirmed that they do indeed do this! Some at our table became paranoid about how much was left on their plates. This really dampened the mood. We felt judged every time a worker came around. On top of it, our server did not smile or come across as pleasant one time. Also, two of the workers were sitting at a table wrapping silverware in napkins. I witnessed the girls picking up silverware that had dropped on the floor and wrapping them into the napkins!

One of the Last Reviews Before It Shut Down posted:

Steak at this place is hit or miss. Sometimes you get a good piece, sometimes they will butterfly your steak to cook it faster. Do these people even know anything about cooking steak?? That totally kills any chance of a juicy steak.!!! You might as well grind it up for sloppy joes! Man!... anyhoo, mashed potatoes are amazing, pot roast,and meatloaf are really good too.. but they consistently let things sit on their buffet too long.. you have to ask if they will replace it... so on aspect, they need a person to be in charge of quality control.. if they do that they will get more people in the door... they can save on steak costs if they offer hamburger sliders all day.. it's not rocket science.. especially on Tuesday when they offer 2.99 kids meals.. you want a kid to eat a half eaten slider then hit the chocolate fountain or a half eaten steak?? Also the place needs to hire more help.. always short staffed!! And the bathrooms are consistently horrendous!! You have to expect on a all you can eat buffet that the bathrooms are going to see a lot of action... they need to be checked every half hour by the manager.. there is a manager that has short brown hair and is a slender build that bent over backwards for a special request one time I visited, these are the stories people will tell over and over... you have to say that about the bad aspects of my review.., I've been in food service for 20+ years, I really know the ins and outs of the business... this restaurant can do better , and when they do , the profits will reflect that.. also, be more kid friendly, offer hot dogs and grilled cheese sandwiches every night , baked beans and apple pie too, you will be surprised how far that will go... a special discount for senior citizens that is above and beyond like a 50% discount.. seniors will be talking about it to everyone!! And make sure you accommodate them when they come... maybe offer a fresh newspaper to the men, and be very friendly and refill their coffee..

local diner review posted:

December 8th around 10 am my wife and I had breakfast here. We were greeted by a young girl in her 20's brown hair lots of it pulled up to top of her head. She also waited on us. Rear of restaurant near fireplace area booth. Now I had ordered eggs over real easy, home fries cooked well. Now I asked them not to deep fry them. My breakfast comes, I have hash browns. eggs fried almost hard, Toast with a splash of butter on it. I'm assuming they have margarine completely melted to a liquid in a container with a brush in it. Now I have asked the manager to rectify this. If I wanted to butter my own toast by asking for more butter when the waitress came back i would have done it at home. Now if you read your slip back before bringing it to the table, wouldn't you see it isn't right?? So I tell the waitress what the issue is, she then brings back potatoes that were deep fried. This is twice now!! So she finally brings back my potatoes correct and I'm stuck just eating potatoes now instead of eating them with the rest of my breakfast which at different times of my meal were at different temperatures because they keep the restaurant brisk.the only saving Grace was a Pot of Coffee that sat on my table that stayed hot. And my wife looks at me with these Doe eyes and asks if I'm really going to give her a bad tip around Christmas? Jeesh can I get a break! I guess I'm a sucker. I've gotten good service here before, and I was hoping for a good experience this time. Mind you , I've had 20 years in food service in all aspects of the restaurant both front and rear of the house, so I'm pretty sure the waitress was to blame because she didn't bring to the table what was ordered, and it is her responsibility to take the information down correctly at the tables and double check that is what is on the plate before bringing it to the customers. She didn't look frazzled, nervous or look like she was having a bad day. She was cordial to the other tables she waited on, and didn't looked rushed at all. Now I'm not trying to be a hard a*s, but how is the server or management going to fix something if they are not aware of it.?

a pizza place posted:

I order their pizza because their crust is thick enough that the taste is good and it reheats well. I called and talked with the Manager "Linda" and explained why I was calling, and asked if they had someone New in the kitchen as my crust was thin. I told her why I order their pizza and had no issues with their flavor. She said " we weigh all of our crusts " which having over 20 years of culinary experience, I find hard to believe all crusts weigh exactly the same. You just don't have the time to stand there with a scale and add and subtract weight. It's eyeball at best , and since the delivery time was 1 hr and a half living 4 miles away, I know they were quite busy. When I called I got the automated message from Verizon when all incoming lines are busy, tells me they were hammered. Then the delivery driver also said they were so busy! So I wasn't calling to get compensated for the pie, I just know how valuable feedback is from working in a kitchen for so many years. Olive Garden being the last kitchen I worked in. Instead I Got a snooty Response from management! Like they were above making any mistakes like rolling out their dough too thin in haste because they were busy. She asked if I wanted them to come back and get the pie if it was uneaten, i said it was dinner time, of course I'm going to eat some of it. Now I offered to take a picture of the pie and it's thickness and send it to her, but she wanted no part of this. I'm sure most businesses have a email address.

I ordered my food from this place, I ordered it for take out... I usually order from Szechuan garden in greensburg, but as it is near the Westmoreland mall, and the Black Friday madness, I chose to go to Youngwood Asian star... I'm not a big vegetable fan, so I always order my food without. I ordered sesame chicken... the man taking my order repeated it back to me . So, my wife picked the order up, the sesame chicken arrived at my home with broccoli! So I politely called the Restaurant back and told them of the mistake. They said sorry, it is just a few pieces of broccoli, just a garnish, it was not!! Half the meal was broccoli. She said " well what do you want me to do about it?" I said" well what would you do if you paid for something you didn't order?" She said " I give you 2 dollar off" I said "if I sat Down at your restaurant, ate my meal and paid for it in half Canadian money would that be all right?" I told her my family works hard for their money, I'm sure your family does also. I cannot afford to pay for food that I will not eat. Just a principle thing.

Food was on the line raw. Made us lose appetite. Since I had already eaten, but it was packed and my son hadn't been able to get anything but sides. Asked manager Ashley for a refund for him. He lost his appetite after cutting into raw food. Wad quickly told we had "eaten enough and she wouldn't comp him." She refused to give her name and it's only through another employee I learned it. She said because she gets "stalked on facebook". I think she wanted to avoid any future confrontation, she wasn't wearing a name tag. When our "server" a great guy named DJ informed her of raw food she yelled at him, then finally had it removed. This has soured my opinion as a whole ok. This restaurant. My son ate nothing but a few sides and left hungry because they couldn't keep food on the line. Don't eat here. You may die and they won't care.

I had to look up more reviews from that guy. He has a ton of reviews, mostly all bad and most complaining about the price of food, the portions, or the waitstaff. His reviews are more like little stories about his day, what he was doing, what people were wearing, how he was feeling. Here's a couple little stories I found funny, since I can 100% picture how all of these tales actually went down.
