  I was here tonight with 5 of my lovely women friends.  The service was very thoughtful and timely.  Food was wonderful and fresh.  Although most people were here for the buffet, there were some who ordered off the menu.
  
  We were laughing and enjoying each other's, company and the servers kept on refilling our tea pots without asking....and even came back twice to fill our water glasses.  They really went out of their way to make us feel welcome.
  
  I was complaining because this restaurant is quite a distance from where I live and I wish it was in the west end.  If the owners read this...please open up a location in the west.  I have not found a great Chinese food restaurant yet west of 149 st.
  
  The decor is a bit dated, otherwise this would get a full 5.  For what it is, good fresh Western Chinese food, it is definitely worth a 4.

  We were driving on 97 street and saw  this restaurant advertising Szechuan food and decided to try it and therein lies the problem.
  
  First, and most importantly, there isn't a single dish offered at this buffet restaurant that is Szechuan. Not one. I was stunned. Not even chili oil, an absolute must for any Szechuan dish. This is Cantonese food and should be described as such!
  
  Second, the food choices for the buffet were few; although what was available was generally well prepared. The spicy shrimp were very good. But, at $21.00 per plate, I think the food is overpriced.
  
  If you are not bothered by issues of authenticity, then you might find this an enjoyable meal; however, if you are familiar with the different and wonderful cuisines of China, then you will be sorely disappointed and I recommend you look elsewhere for sichuan food.

  A serendipitous find...we happened in for the buffet. It was fresh, tasted great and the service was super friendly. The chicken balls had a good size of chicken in it, unlike many other places and were not over-fried. Each entree had it's own flavour rather than tasting like generic mall food and the desserts were varied and fresh. Pudding, cheesecake, cream puffs, ice cream. The manager was on hand & very friendly. Would reccomend & return!

  I'm very torn about writing this review but I am doing it by means of honest criticism so there may be room for improvement... I have been ordering takeout from this restaurant since I moved to the city in 1996. I love Chinese food and indulge myself with it at least 8times/yr. The biggest seller of this restaurant for me has always been.. in the person ordering having control over the dishes they choose and not ones that are assigned. As for customer service and delivery service I have always received a solid 10/10.
  My disappointment lies within the quality of cooking. I'm not sure if the restaurant has changed ownership and or Cooks but the Quality has went down exponentially.
  Since Xmas I have ordered takeout 3 times and have been disappointed each and every time. The rice has been stale and dry, the Szechuan beef dry with barely any sauce The chow mein noodles over cooked and  very salty Eggrolls are pure batter with no guts, deep fried shrimp old tasting... to sum up my last three experiences I would have to say that the food tasted as if it were part of the buffet from the night before that was just reheated . I am hoping by leaving this review management is able to take it to heart and make adjustments. I haven't given up on this place quite yet;)

  I was supposed to go in Pho song but I did give this restaurant buffet a chance. Buffet is $21++ smorg has lots of variety however food is not appealing. wonton soup not so tasty and as you open the wontons, its meh. Chow mein and fat noodles are like dumped in soy sauce and dry. Chao Fan, same thing its like they added soy sauce dry, even close to its original state. I wouldn't like that to feed in my body. Good points dry ribs, ginger beef honey garlic tempura(normal thick batter) and i didnt skip the dessert chocolate pudding was awesome. Lastly, iced tea... $2.95 cents over priced. Verdict: not going back to this restaurant at all. You are what you eat and this is not a good restaurant for good quality food.
