A lot of selection, food was fresh and good. The service was great, very kind and cleaned up quickly. Open designed, good for large groups but also had some more intimate booth seating. At lunch it is quiet and easy to get around. At dinner it can be loud and a little overwhelmed for those not liking that busy atmosphere or hard of hearing. But over all it is set up well to access the buffet and move around the restaurant.

Food used to by way better. They took the mussels off the menu. The shrimp are now gross. More than half the menu is stuff like frozen pizza and box mashed patatoes and fries. The price is outrageous quality is mediocre. It used to be affordable and good now it's expensive and disgusting. I can't wait till they close. #makechinesefoodchineseagain

Overall it was very good experience. In Kelowna there is not many good asian places but this buffet is pretty nice. All dishes are flavorful and hot. The staffs are so kind and efficient. If you are visiting Kelowna and don’t know what to get, highly recommend to visit here.

This place is a very good buffet. Our first one at Kelowna, and the atmosphere is very welcoming, especially for family and those with children. The food tastes so good, and they have lots of variety here, including crabs, shrimp, pork, and sauce. The service was also very great, and the children loved the dessert options available including the ice cream, cakes, puddings and others.

We did the dinner buffet around 5pm. It was absolutely terrible. I tried almost 1 of everything and couldnt find anything I could eat another of. Such a waste of money, me and my family left hungry. When my wife tried to complain she was givin attitude and was handed the bill. I will not ever eat at this place ever again.

First n last time going here, the decor is 1980s n I think the food is too, nothing like the pictures, no thanks $157 for 4 of us Later on that night, I got food poisoning n then my senior parents got food poisoning as well. All the food was old n the wonton meat taste sour, crab tasted really fishy, everything else was old n dried out. I phoned n let Asian Pear know n they said no one else got sick, n would get the manager to call, still waiting for the call. A big no thanks, if ever invited there!!

I can t believe how bad it was. I remember the old Asian Pear from four -five years ago. I used to go there fairly often for the buffet and the food was decent. My friend and I had been looking forward to going. We always talked about it, but it never happened. Finally tonight was the night. Both of us agreed it was terrible. They used to have a really good Seasoned shrimp dish. Well, they had shrimp all right .This time vein still in. Not cleaned Up at all. Food was bland In general. It was basically $36 taxes in water to drink. The chow mein and lemon chicken were okay . It wasn t fantastic, but it was OK. Pretty hard to mess up chow mein. The potstickers were brutal. You can get better out of the box from Costco. How sad. We should ve refused to pay, but they would ve been crying . Never again will I go to the Asian Pear ? Save your money unless you don t care what you eat. If it s just about filling up the hole. Not even a fortune cookie at the end. Never been to a Chinese restaurant and not got a fortune cookie. Big rip off. I would say it was full of MSG by the way we reacted later on.

October 22, 2024

Poor Service and one of the staff wearing a black shirt was kinda offensive his watching us and he makes sure we settle our bills. And yet we are still eating and they started charging our bills and not even one star he doesnt deserve it. (he looks like the owner/manager) Food

Just called in ahead to ask if any of their meats are halal, simple question. The first lady didnt know what i was talking about so the second lady picked up asking what i need so i ask if any of the meats are HALAL and i spelt out the word for her H-A-L-A-L cuz she thought i was saying hello. She goes like what are u saying in the rudest tone over and then goodbye and hung up on me. Working in restaurant these days i think halal inquiries are quiet common. Even if she truly didnt know what i meant there was no need for her rudness and hanging up on my face. I was coming to dine regardless of the meats being halal or not but after that experience i redirected my party elsewhere last minute. Fix your attitude

Mediocre Asian buffet. Sushi is a nice touch and somewhat unique, otherwise selection is so-so. Not great for the price, which is on the expensive side. Facilities are clean and well-maintained.

They didn t clean their shrimp The intestines of the shrimp still in

Beef dumplings were slimy, had the vegetable tempura but it was cold, alot of the food was Luke warm even though it was sitting under the heat lamp. Most of the other dishes I had tried were bland or had a strange taste.

Nice buffet spot for family. Good selection of different foods. It s what you expect for a normal Asian buffet! Some highlights like dumplings and tempura. Fried chicken was solid. The prime rib roast was a little too salty. Enjoyed the fruit bar, jello and ice cream. The kids did for sure. Overall would recommend! If you want the buffet classic experience back in the 90 s lol

It was shockingly bad how terrible all the food was. It all had a similar fishy deep fried taste and everything was bad even the watermelon despite them being in season. Only good thing was the pineapple

September 22, 2024

This was by far the absolute worst buffet food Ive ever had. Fruits soggy. Crab legs were like rubber, dry and completely inedible. Almost everything was fried and greasy. Nothing tasted fresh. So disappointed that food like this knowingly gets served.

September 22, 2024

When I went to the restaurant, it was almost empty. There were about 3 tables that were seated close to the front. The host came to seat us and wants us to sit at the back where no one else was. I decided I was not going to the back of the restaurant. Then she came with waters with no straws, when I asked for straws she wait until we leave the table to put the straws on the table with no napkins or nothing. I felt like because I am a person of color I was treated differently in a bad way.

Do not waste ur money coming to this place the food was very questionable 11.95$ mall Chinese food is 130% better after I was done my food I felt like I almost had to go to the bathroom and finger puke the food back out that s how gross I felt afterwards the only thing that was okay was the ice cream I still went for dinner afterwards someplace else because I didn t even get to enjoy the food

September 22, 2024

This used to be one of our favourite places to eat. We understand that prices in many restaurants had to increase, but the price for Seniors rates was shocking! And the food isnt as good as it used to be. There is basically no service as its a buffet, so Im not sure why their prices are so high. And the woman behind the counter when we went to pay was extremely rude, belligerent & sarcastic. Basically, her attitude was, Pay up. We dont care. We have plenty of other customers. Its not the way customers should be treated, and it was a very disappointing experience. They wont go broke without our business, but we wont be eating there again. Also, because weve eaten there many times over the years, we never thought of reading online reviews. Ive read them since and it seems that many others have had similar experiences. I can spend my money somewhere else, where Im treated as a valued customer and spoken to with respect!

According to SNS, the store opens at 11:30, It was open from 11am. Everything in the store was clean, and the employees were always polite and helpful. The food is freshly prepared and even more delicious when the restaurant opens. The seasoning isnt too strong, so its kid-friendly. The ice cream is not a scoop type, but a mechanical soft serve ice cream (chocolate and vanilla). I am satisfied because the location is good and the price is low. I will definitely repeat it again.

We visit my mother in Kelowna often and once in awhile order Chinese food and have always had a bad experience. We discovered the Asian Pear this trip and I must say the food was very very good. Everything was fresh and so tasty. The chow mein did not have traces of chicken or shrimp pieces but instead huge shrimp, large pieces of meat that was very flavorful. I give this place a full 5 star rating. Very impressed.

Went in today, the host for me was a lady and she was really friendly and had a sense of humour, loved that. There are a lot of different types of food you can choose as well, and most of them are just great! Their fried chicken drums slap, didnt try the egg rolls and sushi today, however. I will probably come by and try it out again and write some review about it. It was very unfortunate i had to leave for other matters but i was definitely full and satified with the food today. All in all I think it was a fair price, good food and genuinely red wine merlot was not bad as well! Will definitely come again in a few weeks soon.

The food was cold the fried items were oil saturated and tasted as though the oil was very old. The calamari was extremely fishy tasting and smelling. The soft serve ice cream was granular and the grapes and pineapple were well past their prime. An incredibly disappointing meal. I expected Canadian Chinese food I just didn t expect such horrible quality!

April 22, 2024

2 big issues: 1. The selection is not very good and there is a degree of false advertising. In the photos on their website for example you can see large selections sushi and in restaurant they did not serve anything besides California rolls the entire hour we were there. No salmon, no tuna, no shrimp. Super disappointing. 2. I understand buffet food isn t top tier food but this food was not good at all. The crab legs you could tie into a pretzel, the ribs were wildly tough, fried rice was flavorless. We left and just had to laugh at the fact we spent $32 each for what we got.

We booked a table for 14 people for my 12 year old nieces birthday. I understand that large tables are usually charged a gratuity. I worked in the industry most of my career. I have absolutely no problem with paying a service charge, what I do have an issue with is not being informed as the bills were dropped at our table. When I mentioned it as I was paying my bill, the response I received was unbelievable, it s on our website, you could of looked there Had I been informed, there would of been additional gratuity added, even with the disappointment with the food, the service was pretty good. Unfortunately, after this experience, we will not be returning. Check your bills!

We discovered this place about 8 months ago and have been happily eating lunch there about once a month when we visit Kelowna. I am most happy about the veggie dishes (green beans in black bean sauce especially delicious) and that they also have sushi. The prawns are so good especially since they aren t breaded and the sesame chicken is my fave. Vegetarian options: Many veggie dishes to choose from, including vegetable tempura and the amazing green bean dish. And veggie sushi options too.

The food is good, but its just so overpriced. Ive been to similar buffets for $25 a head and this was $31. Dinner for 5 was $200 after tip. Not worth that amount. You may as well go to a restaurant and order some dishes and share, and then you can take home leftovers. Only go here if you have a massive stomach and can make it worth it.

Its possible we caught the host on an off day. She was not the most happiest person we have been greated by. The food was less then luke warm (the food inspectors) would have a feild day in there. The icecream in the dispenser was extremely gritty EEWW. it terms of service, McDonalds would have been better. Good luck getting to the bathroom, stock all over the place but more importantly I felt like I was in a pre school class. The toilet were extremely low to the ground. 0/10 for us :(

The food is very good with lots of variety. Crab legs could use a sauce. Best sweet and sour pork and seseme chicken. Decent spring rolls and rice/noodles. For a buffet there is a massive selection! Do not eat the pizza. Condensation makes it super wet and throws the texture and flavor off. Cake could use a touch up as its very dry and pretty solid. The staff is very friendly and it is a buffet so they dont need to try super hard but still very friendly and good service. The atmosphere is very welcoming for family or date nights and they do their best to get you a seat away from others to give you as much privacy as possible. Parking: Too many to count. Lots of parking to match the many seats available inside Wheelchair accessibility: Wheelchair friendly location. Small curb ramp to enable entry.

Went here this evening with a large group of seniors. We all ordered the buffet. Food was good, and the fried chicken was really meaty. The ribs were really good too. However, the entire experience was ruined by MANDATORY TIPPING. Needless to say, no one on our party will be returning. Why not just raise the price of the food? BTW, it is illegal in BC to force customers to tip!

I have never ever been so disappointed in the owner amanda. I have ordered from here at least three times a year the service has been great until today christmas eve 2023.

We went on Christmas for their buffet. My mom wanted Turkey and mashed potatoes. Which they had, along with stuffing and gravy. Unfortunately, it was not good. The gravy tasted awful, the stuffing tasted nothing like stuffing and my mom did not like the Turkey as it didnt have good flavour. It was quite disappointing. The prime rib on the other hand had good flavour and if you could find a nice pink piece, it was enjoyable. I was surprised they didnt have more options for food. They did have seafood like crab, but we dont eat seafood so I am sure others were happy with that. It just limited more of what we could have. I found their noodles okay, enjoyed their beef and veggies. There was enough that was okay. But most things didnt have enough flavour. I can only compare it to the Grand 88 buffet and the Asian Pear lacked in comparison. I do hope they bring it back. The service is fine and the restaurant is nice, with enough space between tables to be comfortable. My family and I wont be back. Mainly because of lack of flavour and lack of items we enjoyed. But I am sure it may be different for other people. It is worth a try and then you can decide. It cost us $65 (plus tip) for 2 adults at lunch time.

The food is getting progressively worse each time we visit. No more quality control. Everything tastes the same and flavorless. So disappointed in this place. Rubys use to be the best in town until the owners retired. This food is just as bad as food court Chinese.

I actually feel like we ve been scammed. $67 for me and my boyfriend. This is the worst place you could ever go, don t be fooled by the reviews. All food was dry, chewy and bland, hoping the desserts would taste better, but the one we ate tasted like soap. We both feel sick from eating here.

December 22, 2023

Decided to go here as the reveiws didnt seem too terrible, well this was not only the worst chinese food Ive ever had, but the worst restraunt Ive ever been too. Over 60$ for all you can eat rubber flavorless mush. Dinner was a sham, maybe the dessert was better. No. It was in fact worse than dinner. I couldnt leave this place fast enough.

Do not eat here The prime rib tasted like soap and was damp. The chow mein was raw and crunchy. I got a headache as soon as i started eating. It was also 100$ for the worst food I have ever tasted. There was no option for no tip so I had to tip. Once again, do not eat here

My visit to Asian Pear Buffet was a good time. The staff there were really friendly, which made the whole experience nice and welcoming. The food was tasty and you could tell they put effort into making it. The desserts, in particular, were a big hit. They had an ice cream machine, which was a fun twist compared to the usual scooping method. But, heres the thing - there werent many choices for the main dishes. I thought a buffet would have more variety, so that was a bit disappointing. In short, Asian Pear Buffet is a friendly place with good food and awesome desserts. Its just that they could add more options for the dishes to make it even better.

My pickup order was wrong so the next time I was in the neighbourhood I asked to have it replaced and showed a picture (I had specified vegetarian and received seafood and meat). I was treated as though lying, grilled on why I hadnt reported it the same day, asked to show the details of the picture and my banking. All for a $15 noodle dish.

Im honestly not one to leave poor reviews, but this place honestly felt like a waste of $67.50. Myself and my partner decided to treat ourselves to a buffet and, reading the 5 star reviews first, picked Asian Pear Buffet. Walking in, the front of house employee complimented our outfits and greeted us with a smile. We were quickly seated in a clean booth. Thats where the positives stopped. All of the food was lukewarm at best. Almost everything was room temperature by the time we made the short walk to our table. Most of the Veggie dishes were over seasoned with either lemon juice or lemon seasoning. The crab legs were actually cold, and not served with any butter or seasoning. The one saving grace was the desserts, but even the ice cream was grainy. Generally I would talk to the staff at first opening, but not one of them asked when picking up empty plates or while we paid for our meal how anything was, service or food. I feel like this restaurant has potential, a clean environment and a large variety of food, if only it was served hot, and the staff checked in with patrons.

I love Chinese food but. this is way over priced for what it is. This is not good food food. It is mediocre at best. Too much salt but not really any other flavor. Everything is greasy. and flavorless. I think the positive reviews must be fake because this place is awful. $70. for two Seniors plus a coffee and a tea and a small tip. Not worth the price.Oh, and their ladies room smelled bad and it was a mess. Gross. I so miss Buffet 88. I wish they would come back.

DO NOT EAT HERE!! The absolute most disgusting food in Kelowna, I m convinced eating at 7/11 food would be better. Spent 167$ and we all barely ate, the ice cream is disgusting powder and I asked the waitress when the machine got cleaned and she said two days ago with an insane amount of attitude witch is absolutely disgusting. Poor customer service and absolutely disgusting food. This place needs to be shut down, the meat was raw, and all the other food was warm not hot, this place is a joke to the food industry learn how to run a business. Disgusting behaviour. As someone who works in the food industry for 3 years now, I don t think this place follows any kind of food safe AT ALL! my whole family feels sick, I didn t eat much bc as soon as I walked it I was bombarded by the disgusting smell of the food and immediately chose to only eat the food I know wouldn t get me sick. I fear for peoples health after eating here. SHUT THIS PLACE DOWN!

Went for dinner tonight to the buffet and I almost felt sick leaving. Some items are too chewy and tough, some are way too saucy and sweet, some too dry, some too oily, some too cold. Just overall it did not taste fresh at all and like it was sitting under a heat lamp for 2 days. Had take-out once from here and it was quite good - I would give that a 4 star which brings this up to a 2 star. I would likely order take-out again, knowing it s freshly made (or I hope so), but I would definitely not go back for the buffet. You can get so much better food spending $30+ almost anywhere else. My girlfriend s opinion is essentially the same as well.

Unfortunately an incredibly poor dining experience. Staff are really nice and we got seated right away and the server that came by to take our drink order was super nice. The pleasant experience ended there tho. We visited on a Tuesday evening around 7:30. Not a great selection to begin with and what little there was had clearly not been refreshed in a while. Looked like scraps that had been sitting under the heat lamps for hours. Ribs were chewy and tough, prawns were not cleaned or deveined, most sauces had a skin formed on them, desserts were super stale, and the fruit was mushy and not fresh. Noodles and sesame chicken were the only edible options. Overall it was $69 down the drain. Ouch. Not one person asked us how things were while we were eating or when we were paying. I see similar comments in other reviews. Unfortunate to see that the feedback is not taken seriously and implemented. Super disappointing experience :( we will not be back.

December 22, 2023

Food looked & tasted stale like its been on there for hours! Limited options with literally only 2-3 meat options & all of them cooked way too long ago (unchewable)! Wished i read the most recent reviews! Definitely NOT worth $35!

The food all tasted the same, ribs were dried up, rice was kind of burnt. It was $73 for the two of us & we both ended up on the toilet right after leaving. Will never come back to this place. Most of the reviews say this but we figured we would give it a shot .. the reviews are right. Stay away, not worth .73 let alone $73.

For the price, the food wasnt the greatest. Was greasy. Not very eager to go back.

Waited 10 mins for our drinks to arrive. The waiter didn t even ask us how our meal were, just took our dirty plate. My 3 years old ordered a glass of milk, but only drank 1/4 of glass, I asked for a to go cup for the milk which we paid for it (not free refill) the waiter said no, because it s Buffett I couldn t take the drink with me. I talked to the manager, she said they didn t have to go cup, only for the customer order the take out. What is the different that I ordered a glass of milk and paid in the restaurant than I walked in and ordered a take out milk? Never go back again!
