When you first opened you offered a really good size container to get lot’s of food. Now all you care about is making the containers smaller and charging us more. The other day I was in and now the noodles are plain and have nothing on them, chow mein taste awful and looks it too. Lastly, chicken balls were always big size and now are smaller just a little bigger than a golf ball. Buffet to go used to be really good and now I don’t want to go back. Very disappointed.

Super fun concept. All you can fit! Food quality is what you'd expect for a buffet priced between $10-$15.

I love the food & price. It's my go-to Chinese food place nowadays. Also: the newer gentleman you have working the cash is fantastic! The guy that used to work there looked & acted like he hated his job. This new guy is amazing. He's very friendly & takes care of you. Keep up the great work!

The first time I got food from here in late 2023 the food was great, hands down some of the best Chinese cuisine I'd eaten. I got food from here recently, August 2024 and the rice was set out in the buffet was spoilt. I hadn't realised because they were also cleaning some of the cooking equipment and I was also distracted so I assumed the odd smell was from that and didn't think much else of it, but it was in fact the rice that was set out for people to eat. So, it's definitely a hit or miss. Thankfully, my stomach isn't super sensitive and we realised before really eating much of the rice, but just be mindful it could go either way at this place. The meats were still decent, beef and broccoli, sweet and sour pork, fried shrimp and mushrooms were good; the general TSO was okay. Chicken wings were great

June 1, 2024

Disgusting food, I got sick right after eating. Total bland no taste only sugar added. TSO chicken is just breading and tiny piece of chicken inside. Their cook is so rude, if you complain he would abuse you in his own language. Not recommended at all. Wish I could give negative stars. No customer service No flavours!! Waste of money.

May 6, 2024

What a disappointment. The rice and noodles were about the blandest I've ever tasted. Zero flavour and considering Chinese cuisine is about flavour they failed on every level. The chicken wings were dry as hell, everything else was just sweetened to the max. The only good thing was the chicken balls. I would avoid at all costs. If you're searching for budget value this isn't it.

Reasonably priced Canadian-Chinese food, quick service, nice dinning room, and good hours. I will be back again! This is the large size:

I'm not a big fan of Chinese food but this one is great. I prefer by far the Manchu Wok at regent mall. Soup and fried rice was fade. Noodles, veggies, general tao, shrimps and fried wonton was awesome. Service is amazing. Price are OK.

November 22, 2024

I went there fri night and got very sick a hour or so later was up all night doing both they wouldnt do a refund or ask if I was ok never again will I go back

I have had some good food here, but after uncooked chicken, clumps of unmixed seasoning in the noodles and a friend getting food poisoning from here, I won t be returning.

Ordered party platter of sweet and sour pork and chicken Chow mein. Sweet and sour was good but the chicken Chow Mein is not Chow mein noodles but rather bean sprouts, and no chicken, just chicken flavored sprouts.

First off this is not all you can eat. You buy a small medium or large plastic container and you need to be able to close the lid (no mountains) even though the three people in front of me had 3 large containers filled as a mountain. I asked to add 1 more egg roll and I was denied. Apparently some people are allowed to not be able to close the container and some aren t. End of rant. The food was actually good, everything except the rice and noodles, they were bland and had no chicken in it. So I would give 4.5 stars on the good food and 2 stars for the rice and noodles. Price is a bit expensive considering the size of the plastic containers. Cost me 20$ plus tax. Menu items are very limited.

They have a great buffet setup with plenty of options. We were in and out in minutes. The general Tao chicken did not have the heat I expected but was delicious. The food all tasted fresh tasty

December 22, 2023

They have gotten incredibly stingy at this location since covid, do yourself a favor and go to the oromocto or Northside one

Greasy, but filling and delicious. Nice people, patient customers, limited seating but most prefer takeout anyway. Divide your containers between wet and dry. Vegetarian options: Plenty of rice, noodles, veggies, rolls, and wontons. Parking: It shares parking with Dollarama and Candy Shoppe, but plenty of space. Wheelchair accessibility: Sloped sidewalk at the end from what I can remember.

The food from the buffet was cool to cold for almost all dishes. All three of us stopped eating less than halfway through our meals because we felt unwell. Most of our food went in the garbage. The food was literally sickening, and I strongly recommend not eating here. I will certainly never go back.

we just witnesses a woman leave the store when her bag broke open as we were heading inside the store for dinner. A minute later we watched her come back into the store proceed to ask them to replace the meal that fell onto the ground. After some back and forth we watched the older gentleman start to yell at her and tell her it was her fault. I am sorry but no customer that just actually brought you business should be treated like that. we watched them scoop the food back into the containers and we left right away. No thanks. We have eaten her many times before but that is just bad practice and bad way to treat people. I think they need a visit from the health inspector.

December 22, 2022

this place is horrible! Do NOT EAT HERE. After spending $40 on two large plates for our family night out we proceeded to walk out the door, well the bag ripped causing both large plates to fall on the ground right outside the door. 1 pate was ok but the other was all over the concrete. After proceeding to scoop all the food back into the container i went right back into the store to explain what had happened. After trying to explain what happened due to no real fault of ours they said i would have to buy a whole new plate at full price. i then proceeded to explain how they packaged the meals and all i did was walk with 2 kids to my car when their bag ripped. What kind of place makes a customer pay full price after a accident that was no fault of mine. They then proceeded to yell at me to watch my kids better and it was my fault. I left the food on the counter and watched them then start to empty my food back into the food bins they serve other people out of. AVOID THIS PLACE AT ALL COSTS. Horrible treatment of people in general and not to mention replacing food that was on the ground in a parking lot back into the bins they serve the next customers out of. Way to go Buffet To Go!!!!!

Visited yesterday for dinner. Everything was hot and delicious!! Fresh chicken wings were ready just as the other batch was finished (and even that old batch was hot and yummy). The woman who put together my bowl was so warm, friendly and generous with the portions. This will become a regular spot for my family. Good price, nice people, and great food! Thank you from 4 VERY happy, new customers.

They have changed the size of there containers recently. Instead of a small and large, they now have a small, medium, and large, however the large is now a narrow and long container which seems smaller than the old large and the medium seems smaller than the previous small. The attendant was not overly accommodating either. I dont go here often anymore, the atmosphere has become uncomfortable and somewhat hostile I find. I find Manchu Wok to be better quality but it is less convenient to go to the mall for sudo-chinese food.

I love buffet to go, recently their prices went up, which Is understandable. Today was my last visit, the portion sizes are now smaller with the price staying at $14 and there was no flavour. The food is not worth the money anymore and i will be looking for a new place for my cravings

Do not go to this buffet. Go to the one in Ormocoto. They let you pick your food and you can fill up the take out bowl as much as you want. The good is much fresher and tastier there. The one in Fredricton is dry and the workers aren t friendly. You also don t get what you pay for by far ! Take my word. Ormocto everyone. You get your moneys worth.

Pre-covid this place was exceptionally great! During Covid, the staff serve you and some were excellent but for the past 4 months it appears all staff are family and the quantities have intentionally diminished drastically. In fact, if you pay attention you can see how crafty staff has become in maximizing air space.

Quick. Easy. Not the greatest food but for the amount of food vs price and speed super worth it for a quick meal.

December 22, 2020

Its very deceptive. I personally associate a buffet as an all you can eat sort of thing, but this is NOT like that. If youve got 10 bucks and want chinese, its ok. But honestly compared to something like the Jubilee has the same stuff and more, and that you can just order out there or come in for their full all you can eat buffet for like 4-5$ more, im surprised the stores still up even rn. What a shame

Fast, cheap, tasty. Measures up to any of the other takeout places Ive gone to around town, including buffet express, mandarin palace, and jubilee. This is even cheaper and you literally just pick whatever you want and they cram it in a big bowl. I usually get 2 meals out of one $13 container.

BBQ vegetables, sweat and sour chicken, general Tao chicken and the only vegetables that didnt have a sweet sauce on them was chow mein and brocolli beef. Dont out BBQ sauce on the BBQ vegetables and have all the items full and it would have been a 5. Its a great price and fast for lunch
