Mai Phuong Restaurant Ltd — Restaurant in Regina

For the last few months, I have made a habit to visit my favourite Vietnamese restaurant 1-2 times per week, hence the reason for my title.

I've always been a buffet fan of Mai Phuong. When the dishes are fresh, you cannot go wrong. Unlike other buffet shops where staff hardly check to see if there is still food, the staff here are constantly checking and putting in fresh food. This wasn't always the case before, but there has been staff changes for the better. Sometimes I wonder why they put out more fresh piping hot food after 1pm. I know why now. A faithful following are not the 12-1 crowd, and I have noticed quite a few show up after 1 for the buffet.

The wonton soup was at least semi-edible (I choked down half coz I was hungry), but the vermicelli and fried rice were inedible. I managed about three forkfuls of the rice - hoping for improvement - but only one scoop of the vermicelli before it hit the bin. Very disappointed. I spent 40 dollars for half a serving of lousy wonton. There will not be...

Ordered from here for the first time after seeing the Regina subreddit giving it some good praise. After having not ordered Chinese in a few years, I have to say it was pretty tasteless from what I recall Chinese food being in this city. Ordered through SkipTheDishes, and it arrived fairly fast and was still quite hot (steam coming out of every container when opened), but aside from that, it was just "okay". I didn't specify no MSG, but adding some is what made it resembled the Chinese food I remembered and was craving.

Would order from again, but will be asking...
