6. Hunan Hibachi Buffet

The lunch buffet is only $8.00 including tax!!!!!!! The food quality ranges from only OK to quite good. The selection, however, is excellent! There is an area with several types of Japanese-style rolls (I won't call them sushi rolls, because none of them had sushi fish in them) that were reasonably tasty. This buffet, for only $8.00 including tax, even has peel and eat shrimp! There are a wide variety of probably 30 or maybe 40 items on the buffet, including a couple of beef dishes and pork dishes, along with the typical several chicken dishes. There is also a section with pizza and some other "American" type foods, but the onion rings wern't that good. Many of the chinese dishes I tried were pretty good. Obviously, the $8.00 price has to limit the quality somewhat or they would quickly go out of business, but overall it was pretty good. Again, the variety and selection is excellent!Did I mention the price is only $8.00 including tax? I will return. You should try it.

The prices are unbeatable. Something this delicious and with this large of a serving would probably cost triple in Chicago. The edamame is a must. My food came out so quickly. The raspberry lemonade is also so delicious. I would eat here every day if I could.

Easy, close to home. i love eating there. My favorite is their walnut shrimp which I have almost every time I'm there. Also - look on the receipt: if you review your visit on their website you get a third choice for free next time you come in. Have done this several times now. Nice to take a little extra food home for later.

3. SMC Pampanga Express
Reviewed By RAD00
I found this place on Google. It is located approx 5 miles from Great Lakes Naval Station, IL. It is right off the main drag. Next door is a filipino supermarket. It is run by the same family. This place is small. You can probably fit 20 people in the room. You proceed up to the counter. There are approx 10 dishes to choose from. They have somthing different each day. The also have fried fish such as Bangus, Talipia and Mackarael. If your go to www.pampangaexpress.com you can download their menu. The food is tasty and plentiful. With this being said the only negative thing that I can say about this place is the music. I previously mentioned it is small in square feet. They have a filipino band that plays there. The amps on the speakers are blasting so loud that you can not hear yourself order while they are playing. The people who work there should wear hearing protection. Bottom line good food, good price, friendly atmoshpere and way too loud music.

While the actual building is nothing to brag about, the food is. They have the best egg rolls around. I have not ever had anything bad here. The portions are very generous and we almost always have leftovers. Any of my family that has moved out of the area always makes this a "must visit" when they are back in the area.I have tried a lot of other Chinese restaurants and always come back here. I have never found anything that we like better!While they do have a small dining area, their main business is carryout!

It's in an odd location; we passed the lot entrance and the building is nondescript. Beyond that, though, you get a variety of sushi options to choose from. The atmosphere is sophisticated but casual, the service was quick, and the food was really good.We tried a variety of rolls: Playgirl, Waukegan, Spicy Salmon and one other. All were very good; we'd get them again if we're in the area for dinner. The other couple at our table enjoyed the sushi burritos.Pricing is typical of sushi restaurants.
