Diamond Head Restaurant

Stop by this restaurant last night on my way to work. And I have to say in my opinion this is some of the worst rice I have ever had in my life. I have never had canned chicken, but this looks like canned chicken. The color is off the smell is off. The taste is off. I am well into my late 30s maybe even 40s but this is not about me. This is about the terrible tasting fried rice as they call it. The egg roll and the crab Rangoon were OK but this rice is horrible and I’m from the hood. I don’t know what this is. I’m so glad I had a couple noodles in my car for a back up one look at this one spoon of this and I knew it was not for me.

The gal at the counter to take my order was super friendly with a smile that could light up a room. Very sweet young lady. This is the second time we’ve been here for a second chance. We ordered the orange chicken and my husband pointed out why we don’t like it. Because where we lived before when we had orange chicken it had a gel type consistency sauce. This is clearly a sauce served over batter fried chicken. I can get the brand Crazy Chicken from let’s say Walmart and we’re going to get exactly what we’ve had before. Which is what we’re going to do next time. I also asked for Chow Mein. That’s like an Oriental food staple and the waitress looked at the cashier like she was crazy when she asked if they served that. I SHOULD HAVE WALKED OUT THEN, but I walked out of there with my so cal

Yesterday I learned that the Diamon Head restaurant is under new ownership. I went in for carry out and met the new owners who were running operations. They're phenomenally courteous, and helpful. They have also completely renovated the place, and it looks great. The buffet has been re-opened , and has a ton of variety. Lastly, the new owners have added a discount for seniors, military and public servants. If you haven't already, I'd highly recommend checking them out (again).

Service, and food were good but there is a terrible fly problem. And when we were there they didn’t have air conditioning. Between the flies, and sweating it was a miserable experience. I’m fairly certain there were more flies than food on the buffet.

Very friendly service, the food was quite good as well. Definitely try the fried fish, I wasn't expecting it to be my favorite item here but it was fantastic. Only nitpick was how my table had a surveillance camera pointed right at it but I understand the need for them. If they were a little more discreet that would go a long way in improving the atmosphere.
