“Good: the Asian Caesar salad, sliced ripe tomatoes with vinaigrette dressing, watercress salad, fried dumplings, sauteed green beans, leek pancakes, potato pancakes, battered zucchini slices, salmon sushi, ell sushi, vegetarian sushi (spinach and cheese) and the thick slices of fresh oranges and pineapple.

Noteworthy: baked salmon fillet with teriyaki sauce (the full fish was beautifully cooked and tasty) and the tempura vegetables (with a light, nongreasy coating).

They’re all served in a sleek, minimalist, airy environment that has the best ambience of any buffet spot I’ve seen. The aisles are wide, so it doesn’t seem crowded, and the curved interior walls complement the tall outside walls of glass. You’d never know the Westgate Theater once occupied this spot.

That, and the menu’s stronger dishes, are reasons to dine at Buffet Palace, where the pans are restocked so frequently there’s no danger of missing an item if you bypass it on your first go-through.”
