Jackie's Cafe

This place had been on my mind for a while since I saw their posts on Facebook so when I was in town, I had to definitely make the trip out.
It sits in a small and short strip alongside a laundromat and parking is a little limited.
We went on a Saturday dinner trip and found some parking. Once we entered, it was kind of awkward.
No one said hi and we just stood around wondering if we sat ourselves or if we had to wait on someone.
After a couple of minutes, a nice older woman came and got us seated and got our drink orders.
We went to the buffet and I was ecstatic! I got some fried rice, fried noodle and their curry noodle soup.
They have a limited variety of food but I was more for quality then quantity.
They also had Hmong sausage, pork belly and other Hmong food items.
There are also other items such as pho and steam rolls that you have to order off the buffet and it is included in the buffet price, so don't miss out on that! Fried rice: It has become hard and stale from sitting out too long and it was an overwhelming taste of soy sauce.
I didn't like it. Fried noodles: My word, it was delicious.
Definitely one of my favorite food items from the buffet. Curry Noodle Soup: It was good, I liked it. Tri-color dessert: It was a little watered down but I enjoyed it. Pho: It came in a small bowl, I was grateful for that, the broth wasn't bland but didn't have too much spices either, it was okay. I liked this place, don't know if it's enough to bring me back in or not but I wouldn't mind coming back.
For 4 people, it was $60, definitely a good price.
I liked my time here.

I was so excited to satisfy my Hmong food cravings and even drive out 25min just for this specific place, but I was disappointed by the service and food. I ordered through the phone and the lady who took our order kept talking over us saying that we were "ordering wrong" ?? Their lo mein was bland and the papaya salad was too sweet and soggy.
The only thing that tasted okay (that we ordered) was the fried chicken.

Price is decent! For an all you can eat for, four adults and two kids our total came to $89.06 and the food was amazing.
I never saw my kid ate so much!! The place is small and does look rundown, but don't judge.
The food was worth the drive.
Left the young man a good tip.
He looked shocked!
