I've always enjoyed Ginger on Clark just north of Fullerton.  I don't think they have it every day, though...you'd probably want to check.  -Great- <artificial> crab rangoon.  Or at least as great as fake crab can be   <grin>.
 And although I've never seen them on the buffet, their veggie dumplings are well worth ordering off the menu!

Monday thru Friday you can eat a nice buffet at Mekong, on the corner of Broadway and Argyle.  $4.95, all you can eat, 12 items.  Hours: noonish until about 2pm.

Like most of the Argyle spots, nothing fancy, but the food is good.

I'll have to try that-

The "World Buffet" (Golf and Milwaukee, diagonally across from Golf Mill) is at best "moderate", probably the worst Korean BBQ buffet I've been to.

My opinion:

EXCELLENT: Sunday Brunch at P.S. Bangkok (Thai) at 3345 N. Clark in Chgo $12.95? GOOD:       Sunday Brunch at Thai Little Home Cafe at 4747 N. Kedzie " " $7.95? LOTS OF FOOD: Ginger(Chinese), Every night on Clark Street n. of Fullerton$7.95? and $5.95 or something like that at lunch

The brunch at P.S. Bangkok is a treat.  I recommend it...they put small portions of the hot food out and are very quick to replenish it.  There are several "stations" with hot food, cold food, salads, appetizers, soups, and a dessert table.  (I'm not fond of the sweets, but you won't want any...trust me.)

The Bangkok on N. Halsted has an amazing Sunday brunch for about $15.
