My first impression of the place was, “hey! this place looks boring.” Being too used to places with themes and decos, Yuen looks pretty boring to me.
4 walls. Tables and chairs and a cashier counter. With more than a dozen stools outside, I think we can safely assume that the line will be pretty long come dinner time.
We attacked the buffet line as soon as we were seated. First on the menu was of course the famous…..
Teriyaki Sauce Chicken
IMHO, its nothing to shout about. Deep fried some chicken wings, pour tons of teriyaki sauce on it. Done!
Service was pretty good. Prompt and proactive, we rarely need to offer the world a whiff of our underarms.
Food variety was great! Fishballs of various kinds, my favourite razor clams and whatever other shell fish you can name as well as the usual seafood. One thing I have to say, Yuen is not stingy on the expensive items.
Except for the chicken wings, everything was was reloaded promptly.
As usual, I judge a restaurant by the state its toilets are. Glad to say, I didn’t feel icky when I visited it. Well lit and tons of water. Good air flow too. Not bad.
I’ve been told the other steamboat restaurants in the area serves tastier meal but people still go to Yuen due to its vast variety and price. We can’t verify that until we’ve tried it all. Maybe the other owners would like to invite us to do a review on them. As for now, Yuen is a good place for camaradie and a huge big bang for your buck.
