Dads-saisaki-kamayan - Omaha

For a Sunday, we came in at a good time as the place had less people. It's been a while since I visited this area as we always head to the 2nd floor for Sambokojin, which is always full. It was a very peaceful tour around the smorgasbord. There were a few people, considering it was only around 8pm. I then embarked on a gastronomic journey, holding firmly on my plate as my passport, hopping from one table to the next, traveling from one cuisine to another. I again, appreciated this World Buffet. I had small portions of Paella, and had Callos. I like the taste of Callos. The tripe was very tender, it was firm but not tough. It was easy enough to eat, cooked just right. The sauce was on the sweet side, although an eyesore was a huge amount of oil has visibly separated itself from the sauce mix. There was a thick transparent pool on one side of the chaffing dish. The consistency of the stew didn't look too appealing, it tasted good though. I then got some Yang chow and Hot Salad as my trip headed to Asia from Spain. I just thought the Hot Salad was too sweet. I couldn't taste the breaded chicken anymore, the condensed milk was overpowering. I had some Thai Bagoong rice (Khao Kluk Kapi) with Green Curry and Beef Rendang. I love Thai food, it tasted good. But of course, I have to reserve a space in my stomach for the dish which for me is the holy grail of Filipino buffet... Kare Kare. There I was all confused whether I should have tripe or seafood. I went for seafood eventually, as I had Callos anyway (for tripe). The Kare Kare sauce tasted good, as the peanut taste was evident in its sauce. However, the seafood seemed to overflow with mussels, and the prawns were already missing. Looks like someone went ahead and hoarded them. I also had some Salmon Sashimi, which turned out to be my palate cleanser as everything was so flavorful. I am grateful that the sashimi was fresh and the fish creamy. The taste did not compete with the other dishes I had earlier as it was very mild. This was to prepare myself for the sweet ending I've been imagining all evening. For the grand finale, I headed for the dessert area, I had a few chocolate based desserts, then ice cream. I scooped all 4 flavors in one bowl, Chocolate, Vanilla, Strawberry, and Coffee. I placed some nuts, marshmallows, candy sprinkles, chocolate chips, and gummy bears. I drizzled melted chocolate which I collected with a spoon from the chocolate fountain which instantly solidified. I was a child again, deep in my ice cream reverie. If I may suggest though, I think they have to replace the water container for the scooper after every 30 minutes at least. It doesn't look attractive. Overall, Dads World Buffet has maintained their reputation for a good eat-all-you-can experience. I had a great time. I had to procrastinate on my diet again though, oh well.

The OG when it comes to the premiere eall all you can buffets in the Metro. Dad's ultimate buffet still is one of the best buffets even in today's super competitive buffet battleground. Their Japanese section has lost a bit of charm as they no longer have some of the secret menu like the cucumber wrapped maki with jap mayo and some uni. Saisaki steak was also missing. However, carving station was still lit as they had lamb, roast beef, turkey, ham and the filipino lechon. Of course, their tempura is good as well as the different katsu but one thing I noticed was their indian and spanish section. They have the chicken biryani and lamb curry which were really nice. There is definitley room for improvement in terms of dishes. I skipped over the chinese, korean and italian. I got some dinakdakan and bicol express from the Kamayan section (Filipino). All in all, I still had a great time at Dad's.

Very well decorated. Food displays are really nice. This was during my recent visit last week with friends. Didn't enjoy the desserts nga lang, parang kulang sa luto esp mga sapin sapin, biko at palitaw. A must try is Palabok, Kuhol, Japanese Sushis and Chinese food. We were there Dinner time so some of the food were not refilled and konti lang ang display. Napansin ko lang and it mejo affected my ratings.

Been here since forever. Renovations and umprovements have been made to compete with newcomers. At one point they had poor food and service but recrntly have been rejuvenated with proper management. I am here now for a birthday baptismal. Time to eat. Attack!

Still the original buffet place to go, food and quality is often much better than most restaurants that offer buffet with fancy hotel like ambiance. But they must improve their service and menu is some branches, price per person is still lower compared to other establishments, trust your gut instincts you can never go wrong with Dads...
