East Garden Buffet - null

We were seated too close to the door. Restaurant felt chilly Food was good

A friend and I went here today March 30 2024 immediately when we walked in my friend said the place smelled sweaty and stale but we decided to give it a shot anyway. We got our food to the table to find that it was cold. When inspecting the crayfish they had not been purged before cooking very gritty and mudvein packed full even the egg drop soup was cold. When I brought it to the staffs attention the owner told me I was wrong and that everything was supposed to be that way. When I explained that the crayfish werent purged he kept talking about how you cant devein them before survingand that the steam trays were up all the way. I tried to explain that you have to purge them before you cook and that the food was still cold people would get sick if they weren 't to wich he replied well thats how everywhere else does it, which I know is a lie! Than he started saying he knew me and I always give him a hard time, I have literally been to this location twice in my life and last time I didnt even say anything when I left because I was generally satisfied. However this time I was not impressed and wanted to notify them and was treated very poorly by someone who claimed to be the person incharge weather that be the owner or the manager it was still unacceptable. Definitely would not recommend if I could give 0 stars I would!
