"Not Western buffet as touted, subpar food"

Food was very cold when it arrived (was late by 25 mins). Luckily we had our own food warmers to warm the food. This mini buffet was marketed as a “Western buffet”, however none of the food tasted western style. The fried rice was bland and very ... More dry and tasted like normal Chinese fried rice rather than “Butter Fried Rice”. Worst of all was the fried stuff were all very soggy and wet so reheating did nothing to help.

Fish was just like the normal catering deep fried battered fish with sauce rather than “Pacific Dory Fillet with Sauce” (we were expecting a Western style grilled/pan fried fish - nowhere did it mention it was deep fried and battered). Honey Pork Ribs was nice, but again more towards a Chinese style. Mexican wings was probably the best of them all that tasted nice and somewhat Western.

Overall, food was edible but we were very disappointed that it did not taste like Western food at all - we purposely chose a mid priced buffet because we wanted something different than the usual catered food. Alas, it tasted just like what we wanted to avoid. Even though it was not exactly very expensive, we could have gotten the same or better food from other caterers for the same price.
