On The Fly

Decent place for pick ups. Pay per pound and bargain after 2 pm. Comfort food style. I am vegetarian and usually have one option of stir fried, either chowmein or rice. I usually end up adding a Spring roll to my plate. Really like the tea boiled eggs. These are very tasty and cooked well. I would come here again just for this. Otherwise dishes are quite okay.

This is an okay non-typical Chinese buffet place with menu options. The buffet, priced at a bit shy of $7/lb as of the time of this review, is kinda cheap compared with most other SLU food places. I went in at around 1:30pm so the food didn't look attractive anymore, but still tasted fine. For reasons I don't know, the floor was sticky. That disappointed me a little. Guess I just found myself another once-a-week kind of lunch place.

This small walk-in around the corner from Flying Fish is a place you can grab a quick lunch to go. The food quality is ok and it is buffet style. I have yet to get a chicken dish from here that is not dried out, even with sauces on it. If you go early (11am to 11:30am) the line is not as long and I have seen it going out the door before. The food is sold by the pound and if you pile on the chow mein, it's will end up costing the same as eating at Whole Foods. Minimal seating is available - after 11:30am you should plan on taking it back to your office to eat.

Fast, cheap, and low quality. It's a good and quick lunch option but nothing else. When you arrive, grab an empty box, put the food you like, and pay by the weight. Save some space in your lunch box because with luck, there will be some sushi left at the end of the line. They also have some bubble teas worth trying. There is a loyalty punch card which they stamp every time you buy $7 or more. You will get a free drink after ten stamps. Not much but you might ask for one if you go there a lot.
