Nothing to rave about.

I rarely ever respond to your posts (even when I agree with them) because you spend way too much time being abrasive and sarcastic. It is not even funny anymore to be honest.

If you knew the true meaning of mediocre, then perhaps you would understand my response to elnina (again, not you). I go there because it is for the mediocre (not necessary meaning bad) when I am not feeling like driving far from my house. Simply for convenience. Is that clear? I certainly hope so.

Now maybe some nice folks can show you how to use that ignore function you suggested to me in another thread if you don't like what I have to say.

Dirty, dirty, dirty!!! Top to bottom!!

And, yes, I live in Stone Oak!!

We like Chopsticks buffet. It's pretty good. And they have a lot of choices.

No. They do have some non-Chinese selections, but it's 90% typical Chinese foods (for the "entrees", that is).

In my opinion, the absolute best chinese food I have ever had is China Stix. They are located on Bulverde Rd. at Evans Rd (far north side). My wife and I usually pick up dinner from there...General Tso's Chicken with fried rice and an egg roll, and a small order of egg drop soup with those crunchy noodles, and we add an extra egg roll. It comes out to about $14 for everything, and we even have leftovers for me to take to lunch the next day. The place is very clean, and all of the employees there are very friendly. They don't offer a buffet, but if you want great chinese food here in San Antonio, my wife and I definitely recommend China Stix.

I won't be eating at Formosa Garden again; I just went there because it's the closest Chinese restaurant to where I live. The place is overrated. For $8.50, most Chinese restaurants give you enough food for two people with an appetizer included. For $10.95, Formosa Garden gives you a few huge chunks of chicken filled with fat and you have to pay an extra $1.65 for a smaller than average egg roll that's pretty underwhelming in flavor. The restaurant doesn't even have sweet and sour chicken, orange chicken, or egg foo young.
