  Last week I was on a trip up through Georgia, heading towards Clemson, and it came around to lunch time.
  
  I rode my motorcycle through town, taking note of the different places in town, and eventually settled on the Ming Wah Buffet. I knew I still had a couple more hours of riding ahead of me before I got to Clemson, so I  didn't want to eat too much, but the price was right and all of the other options were either chains or places whose food just seemed too heavy for me to deal with. There were also a good number of vehicles in the parking lot for a Monday lunchtime, so I felt like it was a good bet.
  
  Inside I found the typical layout of a Chinese buffet restaurant, and I was guided to a table and asked for my drink order, then let loose on the buffet. I found on the buffet that the usual items were available... a number of different meat dishes, a couple of rice dishes, some items that were probably aimed at kids who are picky eaters, etc. Oddly, there was no General Tso's Chicken, which I felt was strange, but didn't really have a problem with it being ommitted.
  
  I ate my fill, paid my bill, and left without any issues. Really, there wasn't anything special about this restaurant, nor was there anything heinous about it. If you are in the mood for some Chinese buffet food, it will do the job for you.

  I tried 1-2 bites of all their chicken and beef entrees on the buffet, I arrived at 12:05 pm, only the freshly served black pepper chicken was worth eating. I eat Chinese food regularly and I don't expect to enjoy every recipe by everyone but, this wasn't worth the time. Not impressed by staff or cleanliness. When I asked if they served hot tea, waitress was clueless.......it's chinese  I feel bad for the locals that think this is good......

  Stopped here on my way back from a state park. The food wasn't the greatest. What disgusted me was the stuffed mushrooms, which tasted exactly how dog food smells. I'm not saying it was dog food, but it was a perfect imitation of what it would taste like. Also, bathrooms pretty dirty.

  Nope! Nope!
  
  I refuse. There's a better Asian restaurant about a mile away closer to the city limits. Eat there. Seriously.
  However.. if you want more bang for your buck, and you don't wanna move further away from the hotel conveniently placed right behind the building, this is the place... I guess.
  Ignore how the outside scenery looks like it's been crumbled by time and weather. Nevermind the discoloring of the paint. And, no, I don't know what that thing is next to the double doors is... I think it was supposed be a tree sculpture... but you came for some good food! .... Yes, it's just as run down inside too. So picky....
  
  The buffet is the general grab-a-plate-and-eat style. The selection is a little limited but, compared to other small-time Asian eateries, it's different. Sushi is surprisingly served here. Of course it's just California rolls, but it's nice. Sweet and Sour chicken/pork tastes like it's drenched in duck sauce. And the orange chicken tastes like sweet and sour chicken. You'll get the feeling the food is low in quality, which it might be. The dessert bar is decent. Fruit is fresh. And.... yeah, guess that's all.
  
  If you wanna get full for cheap, there's no place better. The workers there are nice and approachable which made the stay there relaxing. Just try not to look at where you are. Focus on the 2 widescreens playing CNN the entire time.
