Today is my 2nd time in this place. I lived in Cali before. I don't compare NM's restaurant with Ca's restaurant but I compare NM's restaurant with NM's restaurant. Across town I have tried many different buffet restaurants like Lin's, King, HongKong, etc.. and some casino buffet like Route66, Santa Anna, Sandia. So I compare this one with those I've visited. In general I'd say it's a good buffet restaurant in ABQ. I'd rank it's second or third on the list regarding to the cost and variety of the food it servers. I'll not return to Lin or Hong Kong buffet again but I'll with this place. The taste is about right. There're crab legs, clams, crawfish, oysters, Chinese food, the kitchen with a chef will cook your fresh dish with your selected ingredients. usual dessert like fruits, cakes, icecream, etc... We had 3 people and the bill is about $44 before tip.

We were all very happy with the food, the decor, the service, and it was sparkling clean. I have lived in ABQ since July and my kids love Chinese buffets. We tried Hong Kong but it is waaaay too far from Tramway. Evergreen Buffet closed in Jan 2012 (closest to us) and Lin's is very beautiful but more than $10 per person and with 4 of us, that's over $50 to eat with drinks.

So we tried AA Buffet for the first time tonight. The sign on the corner of Juan Tabo and Lomas looks kinda seedy but the inside of the place is VERY NICE. Lots of etched glass, beautiful colored panels backlit in the ceiling with koi and asian ladies etc. Chairs are all very sturdy and well made (unlike Lins). Food is fresh, and tasty, and the variety was much more than i was expecting. They have the typical entrees, and a mongolian grill with the raw ingredients you choose, and a sushi counter. Also salads and desserts, including four flavors of premium handscooped ice cream. I liked everything I tried. There were no weird flavors. It was almost deserted on a thursday night at 8pm which is a shame. It cost $9.50 on weeknights, and Fri/Sat/Sun are only $9.99. VERY affordable. I recommend this place to anybody that likes Chinese Buffet. (The only critique I could make would be to have more variety of steamed/healthy cooked vegetables).
