Hibachi Grill & Supreme Buffet Indianapolis

One of the better quality Chinese buffets in town. It always seems busy so the food reflectively remains fresh.

Pleasantly Surprised. I pretty much hate the whole China Buff genre. But sometimes they are too convenient to pass up, healthier than spending the same 10 dollar bill at a fast food, and a must-have for pleasing diverse family groups and their tastes.
We went on a Saturday early evening and the place was bustling. Nice salad bar with some constructed (pasta, cole slaw etc) salads as well as a good array of make your own salad ingredients. A B+ salad bar.
I have an unusual buffet style - I compose a meal rather than trying a dab of everything, which is my husband's job. I had egg drop soup and added a few pieces of celery, a wonton and fresh jalapeno slices. It was quite good, & I had seconds, with a rangoon. Some roast beef and fish. The fish was hot and crisp. I was the first to cut the beef, and unsure of where to carve on the large, oddly shaped roast, but it was flavorful, if a bit dry and stringy. (The huge, sharp,unattended slice-your-own-meat knives are fully 2 feet long, well honed and gave me a momentary pause for odd thoughts about possible mishaps and recent public craziness...) A spaghetti with seafood cream sauce was quite good, especially surprising in an asian place. I actually ate the eggroll instead of conducting an autopsy on it, highly unusual for me. A unique item was an egg custard tart, lightly sweet, in a baked eggroll type very thin skin. Paired with the fried plantains...heaven. I didn't even need to look at the dessert bar.
The Hubs tried many things and praised the chicken on a stick, the marinated wings, the coconut shrimp. He didn't care for the salt and pepper shrimp - in their shells is OK, but he prefers them to be beheaded. These were not and he said they tasted muddy, although the shelled shrimp he had were fine. He liked the ice cream selection - so much better than soft serve. We didn't make it to the hibachi this trip, Sushi is also available.
We don't do the China Buffets that often, but we like this one. It seems a nice restaurant with good, workmanlike cooking, where we are unlikely to be embarrassed when we bring guests. What more can we ask? More bananas and custard!
