For a party of two at $16.50 with a half hour wait for a table as it did not take me to merry, merriment land. Excessively overcrowded on a Sunday night at very moderate price for buffet meal where a family of four's hunger pangs can be fulfilled without question which included unlimited soda. Money bears a great impact on lifestyle played into everyday life as the ailing economy affects dinning out, but Merry Land enables all mouths to be happily feed.
Quality of food is ICK as it caters to the American palette and not authentic Chinese, do not expect Chinatown Manhattan food quality or style. They offer the standard Chinese American entrees: chicken with broccoli, sweet and sour pork, spring rolls, Lo Mein, white rice. With a friend who was not himself, after we sat for ten minutes we immediately left without finishing our meal. In hopes of doggie bag our meal, Merry Land staff coldly stated that it costs $5.50 per takeout when unfinished amid paying $16.50 upfront before attaining a table. Why?? Staff are money grubbers. Customer service is nonexistent without any welcome greeting or smile. ICK! Merry Land takeout menu readily are available as substitute for business cards.
Atmospheric conditions are very dingy and dilapidated where seating is tightly packed as patrons are bumping elbow to elbow. Family oriented setting where children are running amok in a Chinese version of a shoddy McDonald's. Facilities are disgusting as it equate to a dive bar for the walls are scrawled with graffiti writing of permanent marker.
Notes: Cash only as there is a sign tact on the buffet bar visible adjacent the long queue by the entrance. Actual address is 325 East 149th Street on the Grand Concourse in the Bronx.
Ok this place is super cheap ($8.50 all you can eat including dinner or $3.75-$5.75 takeout) okay its a good value. There is a suprisingly wide variety of typical Chinese buffet options here including lo mein, general tsos chicken, chicken and broccoli, shrimp etc. and some off beat choices including mac and cheese and lasanga. Don't expect the generic buffet ice cream machine here but they do have fresh melons, oranges and Chinese donuts. The food is super salty and greasy (MSG?…) but hey you get what you paid for- if I in this neighborhood with a bunch of my friends I would probably but the bullet and come back here honestly.
