smorgasbord
My husband and I were visiting in Campbell River and had dinner at the Ginger Beef . We ate the best Chinese food we had in years!! Service was so friendly , we had such a nice conversation with our server! The place was well decorated and very clean , it felt comfortable just like home . We are wondering why there was only a few customers on Wednesday night , the place should be packed every night the food is that good!!! Too bad we live in Vancouver , we will definitely come more often just to eat at the Ginger Beef!!
Excellent service ,The Lady Attendant was helpful and very cheerful.Food was delicious.
Went with the family on Sunday night for dinner. The smorgasbord was awesome. The selection of food was good and was refilled every time something was low. Service is awesome, and the inside was so nice ! Very comfortable feeling that you have to experience : ) Dessert is also available with the smorgasbord. We had a very pleasant time for our family here !
Thank you so much for your wonderful service in your beautiful restaurant during my visit at 4pm Friday Oct 18. Very tasty smorgasbord, I will be returning for more!
Every time I've eaten here I have always been disappointed. The food always tastes watery and microwaved. Everything tastes like chewing on a dog toy. The service was non existent. Occasionally someone would come by to fill up my water, but that was it. Felt like I swallowed a bag of sand walking out, with a stomach ache lingering long afterwards. Save your money and just buy the stuff at Quality Foods. It's actually fresh, and won't make you regret life after eating.
Stopped in on our way home from Myra Falls, great food and service was excellent. Very nice staff here. Definitely on my top places to eat in Campbell River.
Two things to love about this place: 1) Friendly and efficient staff 2) All you can eat Chinese food that tastes delicious Two things to dislike: 1) Such a wide range of meat options at the buffet, there wasn’t enough room on my plate for vegetables. 2) It’s 4 hours drive away from my house :-(
Went for dinner buffet. Food was very fresh and delicious.
Dinner Buffet is always full of good choices and tasty treats.
Delivered.. had to be the worst Chinese weve ever had.. terrible attitude when we pointed out missing items.. sweet sour ..no sauce..told we should have asked for it..
Good always delicious when we order here ! My only complaint is the lemon chicken is shredded and fried then sauced like SS Pork .. not breaded with lemon sauce .. I liked it just different then any other lemon chicken .. Food : 5/5
Ordered dinner for my family ( through Skip the dishes) while I was out of town at a friend s funeral. They canceled the order without me noticing leaving 5 people including 2 young children without dinner. Terrible experience
Gave me food poisoning I have been barfing all night. Ill be calling for a refund today and getting a hold of the health board. As my husband saw them touching deep fried prawns with their own hands. Disgusting!
Not the same
Unexpected dinner with friends Buffet is good for the price of 25 plus tax. Ambiance is nice.
We were quite surprised at how little was there and how hard the prawns and boneless pork were, so disappointed
The worst lemon chicken I have ever had. It s in the garbage. Chop Suey and Chicken Chow Mein were good.
My chow mein was made with ramen noodles. Chicken balls were breaded, not battered.. seemed like prefab & they were soggy in a bath of S&S sauce. Doordash delivered with no notification. Do not tip driver through the app - Add note that you will Tip cash, in person that way they are forced to find your door instead of leaving your food out in the rain by your sewer hose. The food was not what I expected and doordash sealed the deal. I will never order from or recommend Ginger beef to anyone. Also, it was the first time I used doordash and I will never use it again. Just a tip for any restaurants that use doordash: DONT The spring rolls were good
The best place for Chinese in town. Wonderful staff . Very good service. Prices are excellent. The smorgasbord is fantastic. Food : 5/5
Got take out. I believe they gave us day old rice and chow mein. Called to inform them. They offered a free meal next time. We wont be going back
Excellent buffet
Tried a little bit of everything in the buffet
The staff is super friendly. The all you can eat to go is a nice touch.
The owner of ginger beef house was SO nice when my friend and I were desperately looking for any open restaurant for some warm homey food. It was already past 8:30 but their open sign was on and the lady came out and took us in and cooked us a last minute wonton soup togo. She even threw in a free box of whatever was left from their dinner buffet because she saw that we were visiting town and were really hungry. Overall the most genuine and wholesome family owned business!
always a pleasant experience whenever we re here great food and service
Good
Best Chinese food in town! Mia is a super friendly girl, always quick to greet us with a smile. Huge portions, decent prices.
Once in a lifetime dining opportunity.
Order the combo for 1 with 2 sides. Noodles, chicken and the 2 spring rolls. Insane amount of plain noodles 4 small pieces of chicken with vegetables and the 2 small spring rolls. Didnt want 4lb of noodles and small sides for 22.40....
Fantastic as always! Best Chinese food in Campbell River, Hermia does it all serves, takes phone in orders and make you feel welcome and a valued customer.
Who would think that a restaurant called Ginger Beef House would have the BEST ginger beef Ive ever had! (Some of their sauces are a little too sweet, but still are really good)
We got asked for vax card. Friend didnt have one so we ordered to go. Next ppl that came in Asian... and spoke her language 1 showed their vax card the husband did not... they got seated.
Excellent food every time we order! Best Wonton and S&Sour Pork in town! Excellent service as well. Having more tonight and can hardly wait!
Best Chinese food in Campbell River, stoked that they re open again!
My mother and I had a nice meal, glad to see this family owned business back open, they even had their young children there so if hearing young children being noisy & interuptive isnt your jam....well then you may not want to stay. Theyre even open till 8:30 every evening! Great honey garlic wings (no drums tho).
The dishes were freshly made and delicious
Super wish come again to
ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS!!!!!
Wonderful food with wonderful friendly service. Love this place.
Ordered on skip, 2 combos, foo Yung, wonton soup. Asked for 4 place settings. Got 4 forks, no plates, no napkins, no knives. Not a single piece of chicken in the chicken Chow Mein. Just noodles and an onion piece. 2 soya sauce and 2 plum sauce. We visit Campbell River quite frequently, will never order from this restaurant ever again. Oh ya, and 3 fortune cookies cookies for 4 people. How do you explain that to 2 kids?????
Good variety. Yummy noodles, pepper pork chop and calamari!
As far as Chinese food goes I normally get pretty sick and stop eating but I cant put it down it tastes like its fresh and is cooked well gold star preference
My favorite dry boneless pork
Awesome food, awesome service, will definitely be back
Always good
We used to go here all the time when my boys were younger. My kids are now teenagers and it s been years since we have come. And the lovely young lady who always greets everyone and checks in on everyone remembered my family and my kids. Such a great feeling to be remembered The food is yummy like we remember. We will definitely be coming back again Kid-friendliness: They have always been kind to my kids, when they were 6 and now as teens
Their special were all a little too sweet for my taste, but no one else minded.
A lovely owner whom wants the best food brought out. HAPPY to see them open again, and as usual perfectly cooked to perfection :)
Good food
Delicious, fresh smorgasbord. Nothing fancy, but yummy none the less.
Amazing house batter on prawns/wings. Many delicious meat dishes to choose from, incredibly tender fall off the bone honey garlic ribs in panko (my favourite), ginger beef, peppered pork chops, sweet n sour pork, beef chop suey...I highly reccomend the buffet!
Good food nice worker
Good fast buffet
Great service good food. Lovely people
Decent price for a good buffet! Would patron again! Ginger beef is to die for!
Foods always awesome and friendly staff
Its closed. Despite BIG banner on front wall saying its open.
Great customer service.. Owners were super friendly and helped us with hotel reservations and gave us a map of where to go around the area.. Good was great. Not too salty and beer was cold. Not a lot of places I go for Chinese food but this is the best in town!
Yaaaassssss! Thank the Lord for good Chinese food! I havent had a Chinese buffet in like foreverrrrrrrr thanks to no fun Vancouver for pricing them all out. Aside from the fact that I am LITERALLY ON CLOUD 9 for finding a Chinese buffet again, the food is actually good. Its not your typical bad Chinese buffet, its amazing! Every dish is giving me pleasure like nobodys business. And the staff are so sweet and attentive. Am I in the twilight zone!?? Campbell River: I envy you. Do not let this place die. I cant wait to come back. This is like every persons christmas dream. Its a christmas miracle!!!
Owners are awesome and remember us
Ginger Beef House is a family run operation that has exceptionally good food and outstanding service. They have a buffet that has a variety of choices for both lunch and dinner. In addition, there is a regular menu and they deliver to the local area including the hotels. Recommended.
So I havent tried the buffet and cant speak on it but the take out I had was terrible. I was hoping to find decent Chinese food in Campbell River but havent really found anything exceptional. Ill keep trying.
Good smorg. Slightly limited smorg but the food is good and good price.
The chowmein was amazing. Amazing prices as well. Best Chinese food I have ever had!!!!!!!!!!
Based on the super friendliness of the staff. Food was nothing to write home about. No big selection on the buffet and nanaimo bars were cut so thin they fell apart touching them. Only one soup won ton no hot and sour soup.
We often go here....have for years...its always good food, good servìce and CLEAN!
The food was amazing, and the staff were super friendly

Great food friendly staff!
Great service, great food
Great service, such nice folks running this place. The food is good, I do both take out and buffet often.
Very nice place to dine
Buffet has a good variety of food and all of these foods taste good
Its entirely possible I caught them on an off night, but given the good reviews I was disappointed. We had the buffet and, though the kalamari was spiced nicely, most of the items were extremely bland. I took a big scoop of dry ribs thinking they have never been bad anywhere Ive been, but they had no detectable amount of salt or garlic or anything on them. Just tasted like bland batter, I ended up getting sick of them before I finished my plate. I had similar feelings about the noodle dishes and chicken wings. Just bland and completely barren of any seasoning. Service was great though, I will happily give them that
Called 4x says open fridays 11-9 like do you guys just like to loose customers? You Dont pick up and just say hey were bust right now can I put you on hold?
Very good and straightforward smorgasbord. We drove and did takeout. Great spring rolls, nice spicy ginger beef. Excellent wor won ton soup. The portion were excellent, without lousy extra vegetable filling. Plus they open on holidays.
Plain old Western Chinese food, boring and not very tasty
The service was great. We stopped in for lunch being new in town, we are exploring. It was not what I was hoping for... Inexpensive none the less and it was my turn to buy...Lol
Love the food and owners are amazing people...
I love this little place. Great place to go with kids, especially when theyre hungry because the foods ready! The staff make you feel at home and are very helpful.
Extremely friendly staff and a fairly wide buffet selection. Definetly recommend!
Very good food and nice staff
Good food. Resonably priced. Friendly and professional staff.
Amusing smog
Lunch and dinner smorg every day of the week.
Buffet is always awesome! Been here multiple times and cant wait to come back.
Food is decent, but the restaurant is really dirty. Cobwebs everywhere. Probably wouldnt go back because of all the dust and webs everywhere.
Very friendly staff.
Amazing buffet and it was very friendly. Also it was my first time there
Amazing pricing along with big portions and great food! Fantastic combo deals too!!

I love it here. The waiter always remembers us <3
Smorgasbord with about 14 different items for dinner. Won ton soup, dessert table also. Great deal for a person with a bigger appetite. All you can eat for under $17.
very friendly staff, and great food! would recommend.
Excellent Chinese food
My niece treated me, my daughter & my daughters friend to dinner tonight. It was delicious & our service was outstanding! Thank you so much Mia, well definitely be back!
This place is great! The only thing that I can say bad about the place is that the selection could be a bit bigger for the buffet, but it is still good. The food was great and there was always fresh stuff coming out of the kitchen. The staff were very polite and friendly. They were constantly filling out glasses and making sure that the food was good. I would HIGHLY recommend this place to anyone.

Stopped in on a whim when a camping meal failed. Really happy we did. Good tasting food and friendly service. Cant really ask for more at your local Chinese buffet
The hospitality is great and the food even better. We loved it and will come back
