Great buffet! Super selection, tasty and fresh. The pan fried shrimp were especially nice and spicy. What struck me most about this establishment was the cleanliness, totally spic & span. I enclosed a pic of the waitress who was friendly and superbly fashionably dressed! I will be back!

Always a hassle everytime you order out, it's like trying to pull teeth. Lady cant take an order or hold a phone, Always some new rule to ordering everytime, or they tell you they don't have drivers when they do, call back 3 times they will finally tell you they have drivers, sometimes will deliver under 30$ other times they won't, Russia Roulette if you will get your order. 3 restaurant names and can't they cant live up to even one of them.

I split a large wonton soup with another, it was plenty for two to make a whole meal of it. The waiter was very professional, and a bit fun even did a stunt toss of the fortune cookie. I'll visit again

We had Sunday lunch.The food was okay, which is sad for the price of this buffet.I enjoyed the chicken wings, the dim sum was very tired, the chow mein once replenished was good, the sweet and sour pork was not lean.The garlic prawns were good.Perhaps if the price was lower the restaurant would have more turnover.The value for money is not there!

We are traveling and staying at an inn we ordered delivery and were totally blown away!! The very best Chinese food we have ever had in a remote location. Excellent service from delivery providing plates and forks plus microwaveable container for left overs to dishes I want to order again so tasty thank you very much for an excellent experience!!

I will never go back to this Chinese buffet. There wasn’t enough food and some of the food looked like it had gone through a battle. The buffet food trays were empty when I got up there. Much of the taste of the food seemed to be overly infused with 5-Spice. Some of the dishes, for instance the duck dish had to be an experiment(I think it was duck). Traditionally duck has never been cooked in a Chinese restaurant in the manner that it was. Chinese take a lot of pride in how they cook duck. Normally the fat is properly rendered from the meat and the skin is suppose to be crispy. Such was not the case. It was rubbery and tasteless.The shoo mai (pork dumplings) looked unappetizing and like they had been sitting there for ages. They tasted awful. I tried them out of curiosity .They were dried out and lifeless. To be fair the chicken wings were good. They tasted like they were freshly prepared.The bright spot of the evening were the helpers as they were very friendly and attentive.I love the location of this restaurant.The classical Chinese decor and the layout of the restaurant was very nice.But this was a total rip off, from start to finish. I do not recommend it.

We came for Sunday lunch, visiting from Victoria. The buffet is good, better than the buffet in Victoria. Lots of shrimp, hakaw, siomai. The food is freshly cooked. The place is large, with two private rooms. Not sure why there were not a lot of people though.

Great food and friendly service! Got there at 4pm and had the buffet. The food was fresh and tasted really good! The restaurant is quite popular and easy to understand why, good value for dollar! Highly recommend!

It's been better. I felt like I was unattended to. The food grade was not like it has been in the past. I asked for a root beer and received a no name brand root beer in the can.
