I chose this buffet because it looked slightly cheaper than the others nearby, but the experience was disappointing from start to finish. I tried the Chicken Broccoli Mayo salad, the coleslaw, the pasta salad, the butter chicken, and the roasted chicken. The Chicken Broccoli Mayo was unbearably heavy and the chicken pieces were tough and unpleasant. Both the coleslaw and pasta salad were loaded with so much cream that they made me feel sick almost immediately. The only decent item was the butter chicken — flavourful, but not nearly enough to make up for the rest. The roasted chicken was basically all bone, which makes sense considering they charge by weight ($2.89 per 100g), so you end up paying premium prices for scraps. Even the container they give you is ridiculously heavy, so you’re being charged extra before you even add food — which feels intentional and honestly a bit shady. When I went to pay, the total came to a shocking $40, and I still left hungry. The staff member then told me she “usually” warns new customers to take less and check the price first — even though I had already asked where the buffet was and how the system works. Overall, I wouldn’t recommend this place to anyone. Poor value, mediocre food, hidden costs, and a frustrating experience from beginning to end.
