“Had an incredible experience at this local neighborhood eatery that doubles as the perfect date night spot. Upscale look, very friendly vibes and most importantly, great food. The squash toast was exceptional, as were the beats, and the steak was the best, most flavorful steak I’ve had in a long time. Bar selection was good and my fiancé had a great mocktail for all you NAers. To top it all off, the dessert selection was fantastic. We can’t wait to go back and love having these kind and friendly owners, head chef and staff as a part of our neighborhood.”

“This is one of the most interesting buffets I’ve been to since moving up to Maine. They have your typical stir-fry dishes, like beef & broccoli, green beans, chicken & bell peppers, button mushrooms in oyster sauce, etc. They also have the usual things you’d see at a Chinese buffet: peel & eat shrimp, mussels on the half shell, boiled cajun crawfish, fried sesame balls, chicken on a skewer, lots of cut fruit, some cake slices/cake rolls, salad, random “American” foods like pizza, fries, and mac & cheese, and assortment of ice cream. I admittedly didn’t try the sushi because I’m rarely a fan of buffet sushi, but everything looked good and nicely plated. But it gets interesting where they throw in a lot of traditional Chinese items on the buffet, leaning toward Hunan and Sichuan styles of cooking and flavors: dry-fried and hotpot style braised pork belly (similar to Hong Shao Rou), and chili fried shrimp, spicy cabbage stir-fried in chili oil with chili peppers and sliced pork belly. And back near the sushi bar, in between the pickled ginger tray and edamame, is a row of traditional Chinese cold meat dishes: Sichuan poached chicken in chili sauce (Ko Shui Ji, for those interested), sliced roast beef (similar to Fu Qi Fei Pian), spicy wood ear mushroom salad, and even cold spicy chicken feet. (FYI: For folks who’ve never had that style of food before, it’s not meant to be gobbled down quickly so that you can grab the next plate. It will absolutely taste bland if you don’t plan to taste your food!) It’s not drenched in sauce like how a lot of Americanized Cantonese foods are, because it’s meant to be savored to taste the complex flavors brought out from dry-frying the aromatics (normally, I eat this kind of food with a bowl of rice, or with bar snacks/appetizers and a beer). I think it’s a very unusual menu decision by this restaurant to serve this kind of food, in a culture that often consumes quickly and moves along quickly onto the next plate. I think a lot of folks will end up missing out on the more subtle flavors in some of these dishes and the experience of a traditional Chinese family-style buffet meal where you linger over food with friends and family. I’m not sure how long this current approach will last, but as someone who doesn’t have much community or any family in the area, I really appreciate it! Other note: The people here have been really nice and quick to refill our drinks, and the general manager even came by to ask what we thought of the food items! They were very friendly to the senior folks sitting behind us too, and overall seemed very welcoming (kind of a nice change from the previous buffet that was in this location). We came during lunch ($18 buffet, +drinks +tip&taxes), so no idea what it’ll be like for dinner, but hoping to find out soon!”

“I live part time in San Diego & this is the most authentic SoCal taste you will find in Maine. They definitely don’t skimp on meat! Tacos burritos quesadillas, all awesome! Happy to see this local business growing!”

“Ate here today and the food is wonderful! The dark meat (yes!) chicken was moist and succulent. The collard greens were spiced just right (not too overwhelming) and the mac and cheese was out of this world! Was mildly disappointed about the lack of chitterlings (yeah, I'm the dude who was asking about them). Completely understood his reasoning for not offering them. Soul food is hard to come by in Maine. What a wonderful addition to the MM food court!”

“Ordering and delivery from SoPo Seafood was so easy! The whole transaction was simple and easy. The only recommendation that I'd request were that they let you know a general time of delivery before the actual date so that you can plan around it. The oysters I received also hadn't been rinsed but that's part of the bargain when it's fresh. :)”

“I used to live nearby and my boyfriend and I were both offered credit if it was close to payday and we were short on cash for cigarettes, soda, or what have you. Never asked for it, but when the owner saw us counting change one day said he's write up an IOU and I could come back after I got paid the next day. Continued to do this for us the whole time we lived in the neighborhood.”

“Wow... That chicken poutine was really good! Curds were all melty. The gravy was not a thick mess, more like an au jous. Very tasty! Building is nice and clean. It is my understanding that it is new construction but it doesn't have a sterile modern feel to it, has lots of character. Very comfortable space. Had never been to South Portland before, turns out it is quite different from regular Portland. Had a small town feel to it almost. And easy parking right on the street. (yup, way different than regular Portland, lol!) Lots of live music there.”
