Joy Wok Super Buffet - Overland Park

Great atmosphere and fantastic selection of tasty food. Docked a star for service because it took forever for us to get the check after we all finished. The guy on the phone said all lunch buffets were 12.99 (including the weekend, which I specifically asked about) but it was $16.99 on weekends. The price for weekend dinner is really high, probably due to the crab, so I'd recommend going for lunch or a weekday dinner. Pricey, but for sure worth it

After eating numerous times at their old location about a mile to the north I was looking forward to visiting the new location. Even waiting a few weeks after they finally opened to hopefully let the crowd thin out a bit it was still pretty busy the 3 times I ate here, twice for Friday lunch and once for Saturday lunch. Overall the service food I had were fairly good, although a couple of the dishes I enjoyed at their old location, jalapeño chicken and house special pork, are now very oily, so much so that they upset my stomach a bit. In particular I enjoyed the General's Chicken due to the sauce: not too sweet and with a very good ginger flavor and a surprising amount of heat/spice (which is great for me because I love spicy food and am usually disappointed with the relative blandness of other buffets' sauce). It is also great they have kimchi available. However one star comes off for the overly oily dishes. One more star comes off because their first post opening inspection chalked up 9 health code violations. As long as they have been in the buffet business and now in a newly remodeled space you would think this wouldn't happen, e.g., their person in charge shouldn't need multiple explanations from the inspector about time and temperature. Fortunately none of the violations directly involved the hot foods which is what I almost entirely stick to eating. I'll probably not return here for a while until there are some better inspection results as buffets are already considered high risk even with no violations. Update I have eaten here a number of times since last year's review. The food quality has stayed pretty high, although the same dishes are still pretty oily most of the time. The inspection reports are a bit better, so I'll bump up my rating to 4 stars for now.

The food was so good and so great that I didn't even get to try everything, CRAB LEGS ONLY ON WEEKENDS

Largest buffet I've been to... everything was fresh and tasty, crab legs, tri tip on a block, chicken on a stick, general tsao chicken and fried rice!!! Sushi, ice cream, cakes, everything you can imagine is here. They also have a full bar.

Great food, extensive selection kept fresh and attractively displayed with good service. What more could you want?
