If you are driving to Tofino, this is a nice place to stop by. We have been here for buffet before and was impressed. There was no buffet today, so we ordered from the menu, and it is good for the most parts lots of fresh veggies and protein. Cantonese style. Favourite are the Cantonese chow mien and sizzling beef

This is my second time ordering and wow!! I am so impressed! Yummy!!! So hot and delicious, flavourful! The chicken fried rice is amazing! I also recommend the chicken chop suey, the Singapore rice noodle and the Chicken Chow fun! So much better than QF! Ive noticed that the QF Chinese has been tasting too greasy and expensive! Try it for yourself, you be the judge!

I brought my family here as I’ve always enjoyed in the past.

This time, I was completely disappointed and really disgusted.
We came in on a Friday afternoon at approximately 1 PM, there was literally next to no food in the buffet, so I asked the waitress and she said they were making it.
So I tried a couple shrimps, a spring roll and the wonton soup, I was definitely not impressed with the wonton soup.
My partner grabbed a couple shrimp as well and pork balls. Needless to say there was barely anything there so we didn’t have much on our plate, but we tried a few things as we were waiting for the food to come out.. we were really hungry and looking forward to this buffet.
Personally, I was waiting for the chicken wings, which was the first thing that came out, so my partner and I got up and got a nice plate of chicken wings, he literally bit into his and blood came gushing out, just as I was biting into mine same results minus the gushing, All the waitress said was “chicken is hard to cook” I had to leave the restaurant and go for a walk, it was mind-boggling that someone can serve chicken like this and think it’s OK.
They charged us $70 for a buffet that we never got to enjoy, I tried calling the owner and asking for a refund, the owner wouldn’t even talk to me on the phone. He/she ? had the waitress do it. offered me a $25 gift card & and stated that they didn’t charge us tips, so here I am leaving this review in hopes that nobody else has to go through this because it’s absolutely disgusting not worth a penny.
I’m very glad that I went back in to get my son while he was in the washroom after I left to get a picture of the chicken that you guys feel is OK to serve to your customers
We won’t be back and we will be sharing this review by mouth as well.

Delicious Chinese food! We enjoyed the buffet and would have loved a few more options. The chow mein could use a bit more flavor, but overall, everything was fantastic. The staff was incredibly friendly!

The food is excellent here & I ate every last bit of food on my plate. The atmosphere is quiet with the calming warm lights. I will be returning soon for more food 😊

Great place for a family Birthday and very reasonably priced. Service was awesome and the Fortune Cookie made me laugh.

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!
