REVIEWS:
This is CRAZY! Yes, there are no typos here. For this specific period you pay $16.99 AYCE Hot Pot, Sushi and AYCD beer! My Mom told me about this and I think there’s no way I can skip this even though I know I am gonna gain like 10 pounds here. So I drag our guest Sadie from San Fran and our new neighbors Cam and Elaine, hop on the Chinatown chicken bus ($2.50 each way) and face our new cheap ass challenge. So here’s the highlight on what they have for AYCE: Fresh shuck Oysters and Clams, Canadian Dungeness Crabs, Different type of Fresh Fish Fillets, Prawns, Conch, Freshly sliced Shabu Shabu Beef, decent Sushi includes Tuna (taste whatever), Hamachi, Yellowtail, Ikura and all sort of Rolls. Plus all the fishballs, innards, veggies, wonton…etc. Most of the ingredients are quite fresh, well worth the price! The AYCD beer is some random beer from China that nobody have heard of before. Cam spots the small words on the bottle saying “Chinese Government Banquet Beer!” Yes I definitely feel like a Cheap Ass diplomat. All these sound too good to be true? Yes there are always rules to prevent you from busting your belly! For $16.99 you have ONE AND A HALF HOUR to eat. If you go OVERTIME THEY WILL CHARGE YOU AN EXTRA 50%.
RANTS & RAVES:
Some Tips: - The best way to go to Flushing is to take the Manhattan Chinatown “Chicken Bus”. Hop on the bus at Division & Bowery next to the Confucius building. Each way costs $2.50 and takes apprx 20-30 mins to get there. - When you go up the stairs there are two entrances, one left and one right. The right one is the $16.99 the left door is AYCE above plus cooked food. It has a different price. - We don’t know when this promotion ends but call them ahead (718) 353-6333 for the price and conditions - If you want the big Canadian Dungeness Crabs you better wait around the buffet booth. They take it out from time to time and people have no shame taking the entire plate. - You can also order an extra lobster for $7.99 - They automatically add 15% service charges to the bill later (just in case when you get super drunk and get totally hammered and pay double tips) - Again! For $16.99 you have ONE AND A HALF HOUR to eat. If you go OVERTIME THEY WILL CHARGE YOU AN EXTRA 50%.
