17.99 lunch buffet with a 2.25 canned pop. The location was at a strip mall and looked tinier inside. The food was mediocre as the buffet didn't have many items. Flies were constantly landing on me and the appearance of the place would use some renovations. The place looks kind of old and not well kept. If there were other Chinese places to eat, there'd be no competition.
The fried rice was kid of plain, the ginger beef, szechuan beef, lemon chicken were all soggy and plain as it was just sugar with the sauce. The chow mein noodles were plain and greasy. The dumpling wasn't cooked long enough so the texture was soft and the meat was a bit cold. The glass noodles were just okay, just enough seasoning and taste.
The bean sprouts looked pretty dried and dead, the fried shrimp was nicely fried, but there was barely any shrimp inside as it was 90% dough.
The hot and sour soup was not spicy not sour, the wonton soup didn't have much taste and the broth was pretty oily. The meat in the wonton could've been seasoned better.
There was only one kind of sushi and it was poor. The rice was mushy and the avocado overpowered everything, skip the one selection of sushi.
Cheesy deep fried wonton: Skip this as you don't taste any wonton at all. You just taste dough and cheese similar to baby bell cheese.
Spring rolls: had a odd frozen aftertaste after every bite, it was just okay.
Chicken ball: The batter was too thick and hte shell was too hard. The chicken was dry and flavorless
Chicken wing: It was good as it was crispy, but it was too salty and oily that 2 was enough.
If I could give 0 stars I would as this place was horrible. The food was subpar, the atmosphere was unattractive, and there was no customer service. Only reason I gave a star was for trying to have a Chinese buffet with actual Chinese owners. There are other buffet places such as Red Deer for example that aren't in the city, but still deliver good food with a...
Read moreFood was excellent, fresh and plentiful. Lots breaded items which unfortunately for me couldn't be selected. High carb options were also avoided. I was able to enjoy the veggies, wonton soup, and a few other items when breading was removed. Would have fully enjoyed our experience IF the child of the staff in the back booth wasn't swearing "f bombs" whilst playing his game w a friend online...obvious to the customers in a nearby booth. We addressed the concern w the staff who identified the child as their son and immediately spoke to him. Not sure why the child was not placed elsewhere in the facility given that it's a public space. His activity and language wouldn't have been an issue if he was elsewhere. No apology given by the child nor staff. It soured our experience. We would visit again but perhaps only...
