Shanghai Buffet

1pm. Cold, smelly food. Took one bite paid and left to eat elsewhere. I sincerely hope nobody gets sick from eating here. If I knew the routes I would have called the food inspecter on them.

Sadly the fried rice didn’t seem fried, the sesame chicken tasted a bit off and the crab angels (rangoon) was not good either. I do not like giving poor reviews but I will not order again. Service was unremarkable so my score does not represent that since it was take out! Two stars is being nice!

This is far-​and-​away the worst restaurant I’ve had the misfortune of visiting in Billings.
My girlfriend and I had a craving for chinese food, and stopped here on our way back from the heights. It should have set off an internal alarm that we were the only people in the restaurant when we walked in, but we were both hungry enough that we didn’t pay this fact any mind.
After being seated by our courteous host, the experience quickly began its slide into culinary hell. I get that a buffet, by it’s nature, forces a patron to make his/​her own judgment calls as to what’s fresh, and what’s been under a lamp for an hour. The former category was not at all represented at SB’s buffet tables. Coconut shrimp that resembled sweaty dog vomit, languished alongside shriveled dry nuggets that were labeled as orange chicken, which sat kitty-​corner from mussels that can only be described as a severe case of dysentery waiting to happen.
I figured there was no way they could f**k up sweet and sour chicken with fried rice, so I decided to give that combination a chance on my first plate, along with a pair of appetizing-​looking chicken skewers.
Big freakin mistake.
The sauce was so sugary it should have been topping a sundae, the chicken was dry, and the rice was cold and crunchy. As for the chicken skewers, one bite was all it took me to realize that I would not be finishing them. Imagine biting into warm plywood…
After picking at a few other semi-​edible-​looking items (including the worst excuse for Mongolian beef I’ve ever tasted), I gave up. I wanted nothing to do with the gas-​station-​grade sushi I saw in the cold table, but I did make the mistake of trying the dessert. One bite was enough for me to realize that my fortune cookie would be the highlight of my meal.
I’ve had better Chinese food from Safeway grocery stores for half the price, but that’s not even the worst part. The capper to this thoroughly-​nauseating $ 12 experience was the 24 hours of severe indigestion that followed it. When I told my co-​workers about my experience the next day, they informed me that the place had been shut down at least once for health-​code violations. This was thoroughly unsurprising.
If you value your digestive health, and wish to avoid eating crap that no decent person would feed to their dog, stay the f**k away. Even giving this place a star feels wrong…

I finally found a place here in MT that severed decent Chinese food, FTW.
This place, as all the others, shows the extreme lack of a market here for Chinese food in Billings. I think over the hour that I was there only about three other families can in. If you’re looking for a nice place to eat that isn’t crowded this is the place for you.
The food is pretty good, I admit growing up in Hawaii I have certainly had better, but not bad Billings, not bad at all. The hot items were very good, four star worthy but they serve a sad excuse for a crab wonton which made me very sad. They advertised that they also served Sushi and being the Sushi lover that I am I was disappointed in both the amount (lack of) and the quality. So dont attend this place looking for Sushi.
