[@BarbaraRoberts-oe9hc]

Thank you Tim so much I get to enjoy universal eating through your videos

[@TimLeeLetsGo]

It was quite a lot of food and really grateful to get to explore and connecting with everyone here😀

[@humdumdiggdy]

Tim is the most polite but wittiest guy. I do so enjoy a new Tim vid

😄

[@lynnchurchill3887]

You eat so politely, in the nicest possible way. I would be dunking the lobster in the butter with my fingers. Food & dessert looks delicious. The price is great too! I look forward to your Sunday videos, and yet again, you rocked it! Thanks, Tim!

[@TimLeeLetsGo]

You’re very kind 🙂. Eating off camera is another story 😉

[@weezieolivia]

100 minutes of eating fabulousness.

[@TimLeeLetsGo]

Plenty of time for a great meal… I had 5 minutes to spare😉

[@evonlawrence1097]

Hello Tim. I am so happy that you are not pretentious when eating. You really enjoy your food. I see so many people in restaurants trying to eat some foods with a fork or spoon when they should use their hands. It turns out to be an unsatisfied mess. Keep on keeping it REAL!

[@TimLeeLetsGo]

Thank you… Definitely not an issue using my hands. A big complaint I get from the camera store when taking the camera in for cleaning is about how greasy it is😉

[@wrabetpoo]

You totally cracked me up with that "dirty trick" durian line😂😂😂

[@TimLeeLetsGo]

Thank you so much 🙏. The durian was a bit of a surprise…I would strongly advise for a warning label on the buffet line 😉

Hey, thank you so much🙏

[@yolandawooten-mitchell1404]

Thank you for an awesome video. I love food and travel videos. Buffets are the best places to enjoy different kinds of dishes under one roof.😊

[@TimLeeLetsGo]

That’s so true! I really love the variety and especially when there’s a new cuisine you haven’t tried, it’s the perfect venue to do it

😁 Really enjoying San Diego and was very happy to have found the 100s buffet. They really do a great job there.

[@reywhitney5449]

That place is used to be Todai restaurant, and I used to eat there everyday for lunch, since I work at San Diego Union Tribune at Fashion Valley. Back then, the lunch is only $14.00 with a lot of seafood. But lobster is only served for dinner, which cost about $25.00. For $55.00, I would only eat all the seafood, especially lobster and oyster to make my $55 worth it.

[@winniethepoohandeeyore2]

Another great video Tim! Looked deelish!

Thanks you🙏. I hope you get a chance to visit

I love you videos, watch all of them. The lobsters they present are spiney lobsters which i detest, only a Maine lobster, or Northern Atlantic on, i tried a spiney and never again. I loved your Viet Nam buffet, very impressive.

[@wesrxnumber]

At last you found something you did not like. Your face was priceless. I thought it was ironic that you wore a Coca Cola shirt while drinking diet Pepsi. I just got back from a vacation in White Horse Yukon territory. Our cabin had a refrigerator so I bought a two liter bottle of Coca Cola. Real can sugar in Canada in Coca Cola. I drank a glass before going to the dining room for lunch and dinner for three days. My favorite souvenir on my vacation. I thoroughly enjoyed your video of the food options at the buffet. I would eat there without lobster. The Four Season's buffet in Cerritos is one third the price and only 4 miles from where I live. Can't wait to see where you dine next. Thank you Tim Lee.

[@TimLeeLetsGo]

Thank you much for reaching out! I've managed to visit Alaska but not the Yukon. Would be amazing to go. I definitely need to check that buffet and just taking a look.. it's not the Four Seasons hotel is it? The asian Four Seasons buffet looks great.

I believe there is a natural “wax” or substance from that particular fish itself.. too much of it and it … well, makes you go to the restroom 😉. My friend Albert learnt that first hand😁
