The last remaining Chinese buffet in Victoria. This place does not disappoint with lots of hot and fresh food options. Many protein options including pepper beef, chicken drumsticks, S&S pork, chicken chop suey, pork potstickers, honey garlic ribs, won tons, pork lettuce wraps, chicken balls and possibly other I've missed. Some of the recent negative reviews on this place are pretty out there. I've been eating at this place for 10 years and I've never experienced what these people are claiming.

Bad all around. No service - they didn't take us to the table, pointed from a distance and said "go in the corner". No heat. It was so cold I had to put my jacket on. When we left and said it was cold he response was "I'm Fine". Buffet had just a few pieces in, rice noodles and others were dried. Shrimp was good when they had some. Chicken balls dough was not cooked and greasy. Some veggies ok. Never going back. Waste of money.

I have been going here for years, the buffet is always very good for a fair price with a large variety of foods :). Update: I went here the other day and unfortunately it's definitely gone downhill :( hopefully things get better at some point Wheelchair accessibility: Unfortunately not wheelchair accessible as you need to walk down stairs to enter :(.

For the buffet they serve a couple of different meat dishes but they are mostly all pork. The food is in poor condition and it's a small aisle of choices for example their desserts consist of store bought white and chocolate cake and rice crispy treats and there was only 1 server/cashier working the whole room. My husband and I only had one plate and felt ripped off as they charge $25.99 before tax. And they charge extra if you leave any food on the plates. We won't be returning

No sauce on anything. How does one order BBQ and receive just plain pork. Actually disappointing I could have done better with my eyes closed.

The service was "0" Food? 0 No napkins if you are a regular. Buffet is without a doubt, the worst anywhere. We've had delivery and it's cold & VERY GREASY We ALL were so sick the last time. Veggies were going pink and spoiling. Don't go, find another place like we are, better yet, go on Facebook for a recipe! If you have a jug of oil, and veggies, you won't be as sick as we were. Sadly said. They used to be good, years ago.
