A friend of mine visited Lido after hearing many rave reviews from me. He
said "I don't see what's so great about the place." Then I found out he had
the lunch buffet!

The buffet isn't bad, but it's nothing special. You'll do as well at any
other small chinese buffet restaurant in town.

To find out how awesome Lido is, take Eric's advice; avoid the buffet and
order some spring rolls and the Garlic Steak! Or the Lemon Pepper Shrimp.
