People are very divided about certain types of food and this is one of them. I really enjoyed it. It is a place that I have been passing by for my entire life, well the parts that I can remember, but never once gave it a shot. Recently I had the chance.
It is in a neighbourhood strip mall, with more than sufficient parking. The entry way is traditionally themed. There is a very large Buddha which I very much enjoy. It was a Wednesday night so it was no wait. There were other people there, many that came and went fairly efficiently. The service started off a little rocky, but it was still good service. It did improve in efficiency as the evening played out.
I went there thinking I would be eating a buffet, but the dinner buffet is saved for Friday to Sunday, or their lunch buffet Monday to Friday. However, the food is served family style, so you get your own personalized buffet. Who could complain about that? The food was generously portioned and made to order. Our party was 5 people, so we ordered the "Dinner for Four" plus 1 which was more than sufficient. There were much leftovers to enjoy later!
The food was delicious. I wish the ginger beef was more gingery. The crispy garlic chicken was probably my favourite of the entree dishes. I cannot wait to go back again. -

As much as I love consuming Asian foods like Japanese, Taiwanese, Korean, Vietnamese and East Indian, Chinese has always been a bit of a hit and miss for me personally.
I find Chinese food to be a little to heavy for me most of the time - my intestines and really oily food aren't the best of friends....
But there are a few tasty exceptions amongst the buffet spread available here, such as fried rice (can't go wrong there), wonton soup (tasty as always), and little jello-thing desserts
The exterior is a little worse for wear, but I found the interior decor to be quiet stunning, with their intricate decorative wall panels and artistic centrepieces. It looked much nicer inside than out, which was a pleasant surprise.
The staff were also really good with removing our finished plates and topping up our drinks frequently, as well as keeping the buffet area clean. -

This was the nastiest buffet I have ever had the misfortune to try. Everything was loaded with so much MSG it was like eating a pile of oily salt. The vegetables were horribly overcooked and the meat was little better than dog food.
The staff was rude and uncaring, ignoring whe we asked for more water. -

I have read a lot of bad reviews on this place and a few so so... And only a couple good reviews. I decided to support my local Chinese restaurant anyhow.... Probably not going to go back. We ordered the lemon chicken, the beef and pea pods and the spring rolls...... $32 to get dry, barely breaded, lukewarm chicken... Barely any beef with more than enough pea pods... And the spring rolls were unfortunately soft and bland... Quite disappointed... The servings sizes were minuscule for what the prices and to be honest it's the first time I have ever been disappointed with lemon chicken... We were given a bitter orange sauce with it instead.... Sorry to say... This place won't be on my bookmark list.

I haven't eaten here, but I live a few blocks away and they're my go-to for takeout.
The people who answer the phone are clear and efficient and have never gotten my order wrong.
Pick up times are very quick (15-20 minutes)
Prices are fair for the portions you get. My personal favorite is the Hot and Sour soup.
