The only good thing about this place is the service. The waitress I had was amazing. The food on the other hand... First off, half the food was straight up cold. The chicken teriyaki had great flavour, but it seemed like it was just taken out of the fridge. As someone else mentioned, the gravy skin was disgusting. The chop suey had zero flavour. The chicken wings were so poorly cooked, it was almost like they were triple fried because it was so hard and tough. The cakes were almost the texture of a dry sponge. The price vs. quality is absolute garbage.

I would not recommend this restaurant at all. To start I had a lemonade that was so watered down it had only the slightest hint of lemon. My husband had chocolate milk that was also watered down to the point that there was almost no flavour. The meat dishes were overly breaded and the meat was dry. They tasted greasy as well. The noodle dish was so bland that it was not enjoyable. The egg rolls were soggy and had a taste that I can only describe as tasting like preservatives. The only appealing dessert was the ice cream which was available in 6 flavours and was of a good quality however there was hair in the ice in the cooler which was a turn off. The bathrooms well, I won’t go I to that. We paid over $60 for this meal and it was awful. Very disappointed. Save yourself some money!

The food was hot and for the most part fresh, the salads had definitely been out for awhile. I most likely wouldn’t go back. The seats are worn and dated

June 29, 2024

We went at 6:30pm , Waitress didn’t seem the care at all brought us out a cup us ice tea that was really watered down took awhile to get her to come back and get a differnt drink she brought out a lemonade that had someone else’s food since all over the cup had to go to the front to ask for utensils, most of the food was out went to get ice cream and that was also out

I’m so sad to leave a review like this, but consider this a warning. Food was extremely oily. I am not sure if they reheat their food, but it’s definitely not made fresh and the dessert is stale, not edible. It made my family sick we had food poisoning. Definitely not worth it. Definitely would not recommend. The only good thing about this restaurant is that the staff is friendly and nice.

Fresh, hot and delicious dishes, friendly service and a spacious atmosphere with booths. Family friendly with loads of booster seats and high chairs and our 4 and 2 year old kids ate free. The fried foods were exceptional- crispy and fresh. We came during the dinner rush and the constant stream of new hot food meant we ate a perfect meal. There were not a lot of vegetable dishes. The soups were excellent and there were salad options.

Party of 8 Sat night buffet for a birthday dinner. Staff are very pleasant and courteous. The place was neat and tidy. About 1 fourth full for dinner. There was plenty of selections which I thought was about right for the size of the restaurant. Food prep was around a 6, some dry, some wet, some perfect. We left stuffed and enjoyed what we had. Best selection of the night fruit bowl. Poorest would be the dried out chicken wings. If your hungry for the price this is it 😋

Well, I took a flyer and ordered from basically the only Chinese place open on a Friday night... but Im not in Toronto, so thats to be expected. I ordered the Shanghai noodles, chicken fried rice, and egg drop soup. I figured the noodles and rice you cant screw up... the soup, I took a chance on. Shanghai noodles? Well, they were noodles, but they were starchy and stuck together, and there was almost no seasoning. so a 5/10 for that dish. The chicken fried rice? Well, I dont know how you screw that up, but they did. The rice was like a bunch of poop pellets it was so hard. And AGAIN, there was no seasoning; this time, it was inedible, it was grossly coated in oil. Egg drop soup was ok but tasted of oil. But that was me taking a chance on Belleville Chinese food. Thankfully I dont have to eat there again.

I always stop in here for lunch on my trip to Ottawa. Elisha is always very friendly, and quick with the service! The buffet is a great value! Food : 5/5

November 21, 2024

Went for dinner at 530. Lots of dishes needed replenishing, chicken balls were mainly bread and the low mein noodles were crunchy. My mother went to get dessert and there were fruit flies all over the puff balls. When we told the staff they just replied with needing to put out apple cider vinegar. So clearly this is an ongoing issue. When leaving we never even got a goodbye from the lady at the front. Guess we are spoiled from going to the mandarin. We wont be back and definitely wont recommend. For 3 adults and 1 senior, drinking only water it cost us $108.

Lack of food, empty trays on the buffet service and we had to ask for the empty trays to be refilled with food ,they sat there empty for quite some time before the kitchen came out to replenish and the server left out dirty dishes on the table while we were eating and the taste of the food is questionable,in other words we are never going back.

Quick service, seated very quickly. Friendly server that was not hovering over us the entire time. Good spot for children as they have foods like French fries, onion rings etc... Very basic buffet. Lacking vegetarian options. Lacking cold salads. The cold salads didnt even have a cold macaroni or potato salad. The sushi was minimal, four options to choose from and no eel sauce. Again, there was not a lot of desserts that appealed to us, we didnt end up eating any of the options. There were loads of meat options if youre meat eaters though! Empty trays. The Caesar didnt seem to have any alcohol in it either...

Was there today Oct 5 2024...rice had a burnt taste..egg rolls were very greasy and the chicken balls had so much batter. The piece of chicken Inside was the size of a dime. The jello was hard guess it was old. Our waitress was more interested in flirting with the guy at the next table to us...took 5 min to get our bill. Seniors lunch was 40 bucks. I was so sick about 30 min later, my own fault for not asking if there was MSG in the food. Will not go back

September 21, 2024

Food was absolutely disgusting and everything was old , had salad and paid way too much for it . Don t waste your time or money here

Id now give 0 star review. I ordered chicken fried rice WITHOUT peas. I am very highly allergic. I get all the way home...and realize great... its riddled with peas....I cant just pick them out... the food is cooked with peas on it and I will now get extremely ill and pass blood if I ingest this. So thanks for the lack of give a damn.. but atleast you got your tip.

There are many varieties of dishes, which are very Chinese characteristics and Chinese taste. The chef is also Chinese. He likes dumplings, fried rice, fried noodles, lotus pond stir-fry, fried bean sprouts, soy sauce beef, braised chicken nuggets, etc. very much. There are tea, fruits, etc. The landlady is very enthusiastic and kind. I went there twice with my family, it was great

Plenty of food for the money but very inconsistent in what you get I ordered lo mein and it came 90% chicken and vegetables with only a spoonful of vegetables with a horrible brown sauce instead of the usual orange coloured sauce

Likely the most flavorful Chinese food I have ever had. The wonton soup was terrific. Each dish that was out was superior in flavor and freshness to any other buffet I have been to. Great place. Kid-friendliness: Nice to see the Chinese chef come to our table of 18. Hardly spoke any English but it was a blast with him taking selfies with group members. He even freshly roasted some almonds for the crew. Yummy. Definitely need to go back even though it is 1.5hrs from home, nice trip/ journey.

I got my order off skip so I cannot speak to the service, however they paid a lot of attention to my allergy to onions and that is amazing, as i could tell they made my noodles fresh. BUT, OMG, I have to say these are the absolute BEST singapore noodles I have EVER had. And this is coming from a girl who hates pork, but I was so bummed when I had eaten the last piece haha, it is so flavorful and tender and zero fat and the balance of spices and the generous amount your given!!! Cant say enough. The spare ribs are larger than expected and plentiful with a sweet savory sauce!!! Will definitely be going back to try more! My new fav spot!! Thanks!!

Would give negative review if I could. I will never return to this rat hole. Start out with old hard dried out food then as more ppl come in they empty the trays of the garbage and then you have to wait for 15 to 20mins for them to refill them a ¼ of the way so it emptys fast now and stuck waiting more. Finally able to get some of the fresh food after making a comment about the length of wait and if its not fully cooked. Had similar experience at this dump right after everything reopened from covid so I chalked it up to that. Give it some time to sort itself out and figure lets try it again. More disgusted today then the past. Will never ever return and do not recommend to anyone. Over $100 for garbage. I could have gotten a better meal out of a dumpster downtown ffs

My family has ordered take out from this establishment for years but recently we have found the food isnt as tasty. The last 2 times we ordered there was a mixup where we didnt get what we ordered and portion size in the new containers gives far less food. Dinner for 4 is more like dinner for 3.

NO STARS!!! But forced to give 1! North China Buffet was Belleville s best restaurant, at one time before Covid! (Last week- Dec 2022) before closing, we paid the bill and went to the restrooms - the floors were wet and I feared slipping and falling! These restrooms were dark to begin with! We came out and waited for some time for the son to come out. We were getting concerned, he was gone a long time, I finally asked if he came out sooner. The owner quickly went to turn on a switch. Moments later he came out livid saying he was sitting in darkness and no one bothered to come in to check if anyone was in the restrooms. A terrible experience. An empty apology was made. Is that how you treat your customers? What if we slipped and fell on the wet floors! Liability. Accountability. The owner and staff should know if customers are still in the building. Disgusted. (Edited today Feb. 20, 2023) PS Status changed from 1 star to no stars! Completely unsatisfied! We came to give this establishment a chance to restore their honour with us and therefore, decided to give them a try again. The food was terrible, no wait it was horrible! It was cold as if the heated lamps in the place weren t keeping the food warm. The selection didn t look appetizing at all! The food looked like garbage:watery scrambled eggs, tons of uncooked well bacon! Where s the Chinese food??? I wish I could praise this place, unfortunately the party of three were very unhappy with the food and the manager being incredibly rude, defensive, insulting, saying that she can t satisfy all her customers! If that s the case, then she is working in the wrong field! This place needs a caring manager that improves quality! She is the problem that doesn t listen, insults her customers and continues to think that an empty apology will suffice! She asked what she could do but refused to listen to valuable customers which keep from her restaurant from closing down! When a customer is dissatisfied, the establishment should do everything they can to appease the customers and satisfy them. She was and continues to be in the wrong! If she continues with the mean terrible attitude towards her customers, she won t have any left and could look for a job! One thing excellent was the wonderful waitresses that were awesome, hardworking and awesome! The washrooms are extremely cold! There is no running hot water only cold water to wash hands! ??? Wow! I don t know how residents in Belleville are satisfied with the poor quality, unappetizing food! She doesn t care at all. The food was much worse than it ever was before! The meal wasn t good enough for livestock to consume! Get a new chef that can bring new innovative dishes to a mundane small buffet! Awful! You spend more time throwing out the bad fatty food in the napkin than enjoying the meal! Even the waitress mentioned that I hardly ate! Food was tasteless, fatty, not appetizing! The roasted potatoes were stale! The fries were cold. This buffet is overpriced compared to what you are getting! There were hardly any customers, five tables served compared to its spacious interior! The manager doesn t want to listen to customer s opinion. The customer is always right! She continued to interrupt with really hearing to any sound suggestions we made! This was the worse experience yet! I ve eaten in many Chinese buffet restaurants to provide a valid perspective and critique! We re done with this place until improvements I strongly recommended are made! There could be other restaurants the customer can enjoy! This place should not be considered to spend money nor eat there! Most definitely a failing grade for her!

We went in for my husbands birthday dinner. There was 2 tables next to us, one with a dad and 3 boys, the other a dad and 4 boys. We enjoyed the many food options and each of us ate 3 heaping plates. The servers were very attentive in clearing our plates and keeping our cups filled. We went to pay and the lady told us the dad with the 3 boys paid for the dad with 4 boys. And he paid for us. We have never had that happen to us before. All the tables left were only 2 diners so we all decided on who s bill to pay. At the counter my husband to the lady about what had happened. She said it is good luck for a random act of kindness to happen to you on your birthday. It was a great night with a great surprise.

We got there fairly often for the buffet. Most of the time it is very good. Awesome selection of Chinese and Canadian dishes. Chicken balls, egg rolls, spring rolls, chop suey, lemon chicken, mushrooms, various rice dishes, etc. Some spicy items which I do not try but some with tougher digestions may enjoy. Decent desserts including ice cream. One recent oddity, no more packages of plum sauce for the egg rolls. Have to ask for that. Service invariably good. Good to go with an appetite as there is lots of food to sample.

North china April 22 2023 meal sucked I was very disappointed in tonights dinner order# /check # 73292 dated 04/22/23 at 17:06. our order was $128.20 as we order for 2 nights dinner. We ordered 8 egg rolls that were so full of salt that made them Inedible, not sure if you make them in-house or have them shipped in but we will not be ordering them again. The chicken balls had very little meat in them and we ordered 2 orders, they were mostly breading and the cost was not worth it, we also ordered the soo gai with almond gravy, this dish is to use chicken breast but the amount of chicken that was in it the chickens must have been anorexic and there was maybe 1/2 cm in thickens of meat. The last time I saw a chicken breast it was at least 1.5 to 2 cm thick. The sweet and sour pork was mostly gristly fat which also made it Inedible. I understand that costs are going up but I would not expect the quality to go down as you have raised your prices to cover the cost. I am writing you before I go to social media to see if you take my complaint seriously. I have seen your reviews but since we have not had a bad meal from your establishment, we are returning customers. Please make this right and tell me this is not your new normal. We order from North China Buffet as it is normally very good and regardless of the bad reviews. I await your reply on how this will be corrected, your email address will not work and your contact us on your web page will not work as well. Thank you, Debby Burrows- Boutilier

New owners appear to backslide back to the old ways. Broccoli had a weird and off-putting taste. The chicken fried rice seemed overcooked. Even the salmon fillet had an old taste to it. We went on a Saturday night right at the dinner swap, so it should have been fresh. I will not be returning.

I ordered dinner for 1 Aug 10th, 2023. I am at work, and had been craving Chinese Food for awhile now. Had to order delivery as Im on my own. The meal was fairly warm which was nice, however, I got 3 chicken balls and entire container of rice/chow mein, the cheapest thing in the meal that cost me $15. The rice was extremely watery (probably from the chow mein), the peas in it were not cooked. The chicken in the chow mein was soggy and gross. This will be my last time ordering from this restaurant. Buyer beware!

Food was terrible. Cold and some of it really overcooked. There were flies on all of the cake deserts, the plum sauce was like water. The only thing that they have going for them is nice and friendly serving staff. Not going to be back. Really expected the food to be at least somewhat warm.

First time ordering out. We were skeptical as other reviews were on the negative side. For that matter, all the other Chinese food places had their share of criticism. We took a chance on a dinner for four and found the food quite tasty, good portions and a fair price! My only complaint is that my fortune cookie did not have a fortune in it! LOL! Parking: Lots of spots! Wheelchair accessibility: Although we did not use wheelchair access, we could see that it would be easy to get in.

11 11 2023 Been here several times, the food is always great and never had a problem, however this particular day we had a server that wasnt rude, but definitely had snide comments about the amount of iced tea my husband had, more than once she said to him you drink a lot, and when he got up to use the redtroom, she even said he drinks a lot to me. Im sorry youd think they would rather fill you up on drinks than food, nonetheless the comment was not appreciated, she was even snippy to another server. Needless to say her attitude was reflected in her tip or the lack there of

Have to agree with some other reviews, We arrived when they opened expecting fresh prepared dishes for lunch, instead, I suspect, we received re-heats from the night before on many of their buffet options! The beef vegetable dish had a sour beef taste, chicken balls were tough and dry! Other items were just okay. Large dining room, excellent, attentive server were the best qualities of this buffet! Expected more, as it was our first visit with 5 other family members. Find a small Take-out Chinese restaurant and get quality food for the $!!!!!
