First time there and I was not disappointed! The food was so good and our server was extremely friendly and courteous. Will definitely make this a stop on our day trips if we're in the area again.
It was very yummy, I loved it very much. One quarrel I have with the food was the questionable steak 🥩 with the vegetables 🥦, but other than that was an awesome dining experience. The service was superb we were met immediately after entering the establishment and were checked on repeatedly throughout our meal making sure our water was topped up. I will definitely be happy to come back another time 😁
I have to admit I was bitter about there not being hot and sour soup. The General Tao chicken tasted like very sweet with no spice. Vegetable dishes were very bland and the vegetables seemed undercooked. There was a fair amount of good as well. The sushi was fine although the wasabi seemed fake.
The food was absolutely delicious! Our server was Kandy and she was just as fantastic, very bubbly and bright spirited, every time I travel through moncton it is my first stop on the list! So much food to choose from, always fresh and so good! The seafood bake they had was to die for! Trust me it is worth paying a bit for!
Was the best food I’ve ever had a buffet. Food was hot and fresh and the flavour was top notch. Everyone was nice the place was clean the server was 10/10 friendly nice Always there when you needed a refit or plates clear. Even the bathroom was big and clean I had a good time I have zero complaints great great place to eat
🥡 Taste: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 👉🏻 The authenticity of the dishes truly stood out, preserving the essence of traditional Asian flavors. I appreciate the addition of sweet sauces tailored to the local taste. However, a note for fellow diners – the beverages might come across as a bit too sour, especially for those accustomed to Asian tastes. 💲 Price:⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 👉🏻 Exceptional value for money. Dining here before 3 pm on weekdays is a steal at approximately 21 Canadian dollars per person. 👨🍳 Service:⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 👉🏻 The service was top-notch. Staff members were enthusiastic about explaining the dishes and ensured a seamless dining experience with their prompt plate clearing. 🍽️ Dining Ambience: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 👉🏻 The ambiance was mostly pleasant. However, the interior lighting was slightly on the dim side, and I did notice a couple of flies near the dessert section which was a bit off-putting.
Always love a great buffet and this place never seems to be an exception to this desire. Both my lovely wife Pat and I enjoyed our latest sumptuous meals at this wonderful place. Never seem to run out of plate options here and I know I'll never have the stomach size to sample everything which is what I know keeps us both coming back. Staff are always courteous and fast at their jobs. Everytime I went up for another plate of food, my empty plate was gone when I returned. My only complaint, and fairly slight, is that not all the deserts seemed entirely fresh. During times of struggle (COVID pandemic still in place) we both realize the hardships any restaurant faces and both of us are willing to look through the owners and employees eyes. We're just thankful we have a place like this to go to during times of celebration or simply for a treat out once in a while.
First time here, I was kinda impressed. It was busy, price was on point, food looked good, and tasted great, they filled the empty dishes fast. Buffet area was very clean, presentation was nice. Main bathroom doors needs a good cleaning. Enjoyed my meal, I'll be back!
Food is always top notch, warm and fresh! Tons of options for even the pickiest of eaters. Only downside is the bathrooms could use a good clean or updating Food
Good service, good food
The food is not very diverse but it is good. Ive been coming for over 4 years and waitress Kandy is the best waitress, she is very kind, friendly and does an excellent job!
Vegetarian options: Several dishes without animal products Dietary restrictions: Gluten and dairy free
Amazing all around. Servers were extremely fast, food was great.
The food selection was not up to par compared to other buffet restaurants. The roast beef area closed a bit too early amd there was no sashimi to be found. Their saving grace for me was the service. Kudos to kandy for being so nice and entertaining. And please improve your selection
I couldnt wait to try this again as the first time was so good and tasty. This time it wasnt very hot and some of the meats I couldnt cut with a knife or even chew. There wasnt much flavor in any of the dishes. For the price you pay it is just not worth it.
Very good food and good service. I really like their varieties too.
Here with a friend. Excellent service, food was hot and ready. Will come again
Great buffet, the food was fresh staff was amazing thanks kandy!! Definitely will be back for more. Worth the stop if buffets are something you like
Everything else was great but the shrimp was not shelled or cleaned.
Great food, lots of options. Everything I tried tasted good
The buffet was plentiful, a great assortment, and the food was delicious@
My kids and husband like the sushi, shrimp, and mussels. Im not a huge fan of the food, but there is a wide variety.
One of my favourite buffets! There is a lot to choose from and there is no shortage of delicious food. I recommend giving this place a try. Vegetarian options: A lot of vegetarian options Kid-friendliness: Lots of options for kids
Best buffet around. Loved it
This is a review to give credit to the best waitress in the Maritimes. Kandy has been serving us for almost a decade. She is the nicest, most competent food industry worker we have encountered. We want to thank her for her amazing service and her wonderful personality that she brings to work every time weve seen her.
The buffet was so good Kid-friendliness: Yes Wheelchair accessibility: Yes
This was a Chinese buffet.i was not happy with the food.and was very pricy at 68 dollars for 2 people will not go back
Its the best option for a buffet in the city! Its much better than any buffet in Halifax!!
Needs updating and improvements
Arrived at 6;00 and now 6:40 Everyone just hit served Terrible terrible Service. Orders mixed up so badly and even when they bought out orders they were incorrect Serving rice and chicken balls without sauce had to ask for sauce for chicken balls . Slow service. Was celebrating my mother 90th birthday with family. There was 15 of us Had to wait for them to get food orders correct before I was able to get a drink. I had to track down your waiter to get drinks as they never asked Will never come back
Nothing fancy, but the staff was amazing!
Best buffet Ive had in a VERY long time. Sushi was fantastic! Service was friendly and lots of seating. Outside, the building is very unassuming but dont let that you stop yall from going in. It is clean and spacious. Seriously, best Chinese/ Japanese/ Canadian buffet Ive ever had! Wish I had of taken photos. Just incredible. Only thing was the chicken balls were not great. Thats ok though. They only have about 100 other amazing items to choose from. A SERIOUS diamond in the rough!
Food is fresh and good taste Sushi is not good , needs more variety. Food
Nice reception and different types of foods to eat from regardless of your taste and choices
Nice buffet restaurant most of the food was good could be heated more some food was cold. The restaurant is in need of some updating as it looks a little worn. Overall its worth a visit
My son took me out for dinner here. We had the buffet with water to drink and I almost hit the floor when we received our bill ! The bill was just over $80.00 I asked the waitress why is the bill so much ? Her response was, its more money on the weekend. We were there on a Friday at 4 oclock, we definitely will not be back !
This continues to be a great spot to eat when staying in Moncton. Staff are always great.
Spet, 16, 2024, My friend went their this summer, and went to take a CLEAN PLATE, and notice there was 4 or 5 DIRTY DISHES, People dont want to eat in someone else dirty dishes. My friend and I will never be returning ther again I saw many miss comment refarding the same issues of Dirty Dishes witht the clean dishes.
2024.09 Group tour. There are three Maple Leaf Restaurants. I ate at two of them during this trip and the quality was good.
Maple offers an exceptional culinary journey through the rich and diverse flavors of Asian cuisine. With a wide variety of dishes on the menu, theres something for every palate, but the true standout here is the seafood. The mussels, in particular, are a must-try. Cooked to perfection, they are tender and bursting with flavor. The broth they are served in is a delightful blend of spices that complements the natural taste of the mussels beautifully. Each bite is a testament to the chefs expertise in seafood preparation. Beyond the mussels, the menu offers a plethora of other delicious options, from fresh sushi and sashimi to hearty noodle dishes and flavorful stir-fries. The ingredients are fresh, and the dishes are presented with an artistic flair that enhances the dining experience. The ambiance of the restaurant is inviting and elegant, making it a perfect spot for both casual dining and special occasions. The staff is friendly and attentive, ensuring that every visit is memorable. Overall, maple is a top-notch dining destination for anyone looking to enjoy high-quality Asian cuisine, with the mussels being a particular highlight. Highly recommended! Parking: Delicious food. Loke
Food was not great.beef tasted bad.soup was not good.Sushi cud have been better.dessert options was not good enough.
There was tons of delicious food and drinks and a wide variety to choose from. The staff there are friendly and on top of everything too.
The staff were super friendly and were on top of clearing off dirty plates and refilling drinks as well as the food stations. Kandy was such a gem that we would return just to be served by her again. The total for 2 adults on a Sunday evening was just less than $80 (taxes in but excluding a tip). The only negative was that there were flies on a lot of the fruit which could have been prevented by a plastic cover or something.
Good food. Good service.
We were there for a a birthday reservation of 18, only to find the the AC has been out for 8 years and not fixed.. Unfortunately most of the family had to go outside as it was plus 26 in the restaurant!!! The poor workers had portable fans and still sweating!!! Plates being 34$ for an adult is ridiculous... Lets eat and sweat to death.. If I was the owner Id be ashamed of letting my amazing employees suffer.. The company makes more than enough money to fix that!
Expensive but the food is great
Possibly best buffet Ive been to.. huge selection of fresh food. They were still re-stocking items 20 minutes to close. Fresh, cooked seafood and sushi options. Very friendly staff. Clean restaurant Will definitely eat here again
Great buffet.
We love the staff. They are friendly, like you have know them for years. Wheelchair accessibility: Bathroom is multipe stall. You have to back into the wheelchair stall. Food : 5/5 |
They offer a variety of food.
this place amazed me every time the bilding outside is really not what it look inside the inside is beautiful the service is really good and the quantity of food for a buffet is amazing not like here in bathurst every time i go in moncton i go there now
Excellent variety and choice. Wonderful table service.
Buffet yum yum
Regular Chinese buffet, the place is a little dirty, seems very old, but the food is good and some of the servers are perfect some are cold and. The price is very good, this is the main point. Looking for a good desert, this is not the place.
Dont be fooled by the exterior appearance, the interior is clean and very beautiful, the food is excellent and the service just as much!
The culinary offerings delight with their quality, earning praise for their taste and presentation. The buffet, while adequate, offers a moderate selection. The ambiance, while not exceptional, provides a comfortable setting. Overall, its a satisfying experience, with good food, a medium-sized buffet, and an okay ambiance.
It s not enough to eat Chinese food here
The buffet was bad, the food frozen for too long, wontong soup poor quality, bland spring roll, desert frozen. Everything is too expensive, more than $110 for 3 people. Going elsewhere for a buffet will be better.
Very nice restaurant with a buffet that offers multiple choices. The waitresses are very professional. I recommend this place. Kid-friendliness: The establishment is suitable for my children Wheelchair accessibility: Yes
Definitely will not go back primarily the cost (Senior) is more than I like. Food was good except whole shrimp could have been cooked a little longer. My waitress was very friendly and prompt cleaning my table. For those who gorge, it is a bargain. Ill stick to individual takeout Servings b/c there is more than enough to eat, plus some for a snack for another day.
The buffet is very delicious the food and great service... 5 star
Exactly what you want from a Chinese buffet. Dont let the outside fool you, its lovely inside.
Lots of choices .. food was good if you come early
Great staff and the food is delicious
Not bad resturant pricy tho
Its a all you can eat asian restaurant. I enjoyed eating there.
Its a great place to eat all sorts of a variety of food for less, especially when going with family and friends. The waitress who attended to my family was so great and the meals were good and tasty. I would recommend it. The only downside is that it does seem to get a bit over crowded sometimes with customers waiting on a line to get in, but this has only been my experience once. Most of the time, reservations are made quickly, and seats are always available.
As a first timer to visit Maple Leaf, the food has no something special as you can see the menu the same as in Manchuk , the Main dishes in particular. The desserts are good. I love the mint chocolate ice cream . For supper, they have a steak offer.
If you are craving good food, go there. There are lots of options to choose from.
Rapid service. Professional, good food. Friendly staff.
Went there with my 2 kids and were charged $33 for both of them. They were 6 and 10 years old. My 6 year old only ate watermelon and few strawberries. They never charge that much before for kids, I think that was too much. Paid more than 220$ for the entire bill.
This is a Fantastic Place for Delicious Tasty Food and great service! THE ONLY REASON WHY I TOOK THE 2 VACCINES AGAINST COVID IS SO I COULD CONTINUE TO EAT AT THIS NON COMPARABLE RESTAURANT! UP TILL NOW I NEVER CAUGHT COVID!! I NEVER BOTHERED TO WEAR A MASK UNLESS FORCED BY LAW IN CERTAIN PLACES! THANK GOD!! March 1, 2024
We arrived just minutes before the deadline before the supper buffet and still had full choices. It was still hot and very appetizing. We get family gift cards for xmas gifts, then meet up here a few months later to gather again for dinner and a movie. Its a great place to please anybody with many variety of choices. See you again soon! Delicious and worth the $25 +tax
But if a wait but still awesome overall
Great deal,great food,lots of choice. Desserts need work...
Great service food is hot and good selection clean place . Vegetarian options: Lots of different veggie dishes. Food : 4/5 |
Good food and excellent customer service! Lots of room and selection. Will return soon!
This is our go to place for Chinese buffet whenever we visit Moncton. There are lots of food choices and the staff are friendly. Food : 5/5
This is the greatest Chinese food restaurant in Moncton. I go often.
The Best buffets ever
We were there today, Jan. 31st at around 3:30pm. Food s awesome but it was Tommy the server that made me leave a review! Great service!
2 people for a Sunday night buffet costs us $72 and a total of $80 with tips. Casino buffet in NB is much cheaper and only $23 per person. Of course, Maple Leaf offers more food selection but the quality of food at Casino is much much much better. If you are looking for greased chicken wings, salty noodles. Go to Maple Leaf
I love this place!!!
Awesome
Great waitress, good food
Great selection. Make sure you bring a big appetite.
Food is good, a little pricey, but still worth it, good selection
Best Chinese in the east. Great selection great food
Not a bad place for a tour buffet lunch.
Stopped by this buffet for lunch with our tour bus, big variety of food, liked the veggies and sushi. Great service
Best buffet Ive been to in a long time, food was fresh, sushi was fresh and everything was delicious!! Highly recommend this place !
Very delicious food and excellent service every time I go! This restaurant offers great value for money and is not to be missed!
Great place ,great food,great people Love this place Food
What a great place!!! Try the sushi it is really good. All of the staff are so friendly and clever! Thanks for a wounderful dinner
Very delicious food and delicious desserts. Vegetarian options: Various options. Kid-friendliness: Yes and adequate food for them.
As usual its been a while since weve been. The prices are ridiculous. But I have to admit the food was fresh and hot this time. Thank you
A lovely time location for the family. I was particularly impressed with the fact that there is unique price for seniors.
Its great, a little pricey, but a really good selection of foods
Little pricey for a buffet, but had plenty of choices. Service was excellent and friendly.
Food tasted old. Other than that it was ok
You absolutely have to meet Ms. Melanie, the good humor alone is worth the detour. For the restaurant, you should not be fooled by the exterior appearance. Everything is beautiful inside and the sushi is fresh made in front of you.
Hot and sour soup is delicious
Buffet restaurant. Excellent.
I love this place and I love the food
The makis were delicious. The place is clean and pleasant
Beyond expectations. I will ask for Paula over and over again.
Buffet Style I enjoyed it
Nice Chinese buffet
We have been weekly customers since they opened. We go with my young grandson who doesnt eat any of the food there. For years we discreetly bring in popcorn chicken from KFC and put it on a plate for him to eat while we eat. Have been told by staff its OK. Today they informed us we can no longer sneek him in food. We have have to buy his food there. Told to abide by this rule or dont bother coming back. Needless to say we wont be back!
High quality Chinese food!
Good meals are served in this restaurant .
We always eat here everytime we visit moncton the food are so good
Really goood!!!
Worst case of food poisoning ever. Everything about the buffet was bad. Food tasted like it came out of the microwave, pop was terrible absolutely terrible experience . And its came to $80 2 buffet and 1 pop
The server Benson was very rude and disappointed with us.. with no smile and he also judge us !!! I will never go there again because of him and will not recommand it anymore
Good food and lots of it.
Tried their Buffet with my friends and it was good and tasty! So many varieties to pick for food lovers. Only concern was the cleanliness of the surroundings, not sure if thats because of busy dinner hours, but I noticed the floor / buffet area could be better. Food
I go here everytime we go to Moncton. Great food lovely people. They just treat you right
Better then any other Chinese regular restaurants because of the price you spend on the food. They got lots of plates to choose from and lots of desert. They might get more customers if they add or randomly change some of their dishes because they always have those dishes and its been forever as far as I know. But overall, this is a one good buffet in Moncton.
The food was delicious! Our waitress was very prompt and sweet. The overall atmosphere was very upbeat.
Amazing and friendly staff, efficient service and going above and beyond for customers. Awesome selection of mouth watering food, my father had 5 plates
We come here EVERY Time we are in moncton BEST buffet
The food was delicious!!!
Had an amazing dinner with family, celebrated my daughters birthday there. Amazing staff, fast friendly. Its an amazing all you can eat diner. Little bit of everything for everyone to enjoy.
Just have to take a moment to commend Kandy who was our server for tonight. She is the SWEETEST person and stuck out above all the servers I ve ever had, anywhere! She made a little girls night and has just a beaming and positive personality! She had us laughing and we enjoyed her presence so much!
Nice
Not the best food..everything is drowned in soy sauce. The potatoes tasted old but the dessert is good. The service was awesome thank you Paula but I think we not coming back..
Was good .. lots to pick from.
Amazing buffet and our server was fantastic!
There are many options available ,however very sweet and salty dishes that make you feel full and bloated after eating even a small portion!!!
Amazing, friendly service. Clean restaurant. Food was good for a buffet. Most other buffets have dried out, cold food, but Maples dishes were fresh and tasty. The beef and broccoli was fantastic! Both the egg rolls and spring rolls were not. Was told by a friend that the food is even better when you order online. I dont usually like buffets, but THIS one I will return to.
The seafood had very little taste, but the rest of the food was great. Very nice and clean restaurant. The staff were very friendly.
Food is actually delicious. Being an American, I was extremely happy that the food was like what I have ever known. I should have paid attention better to her name, but our waitress was amazing. Such a bubbly attitude that was really welcoming. The only thing I did not like was the price, but it is what it is. Will be back either way.
Delicious food. So much to choose from
It s enough for me I think! Today I am sooooo hungry. definitely come again
Candy was fantastic service
The food was really good with a great selection. This is will be my new go to for Chinese. Staff were very friendly and helpful.
Great food for a buffet
Good viriaty tasty food good service
For the most part it was a great experience. Our server gets a 10/10. The food was hot and fresh. Just a little bland. It is the price that loses a star. $33 a person is a bit too rich for my blood but dont let that deter others.
Good food, lots of options on the buffet.
This is our third time going to this restaurant, and I am still confused as to how it gets such high reviews. The plate that I posted was a sample of a few different things. Out of the shrimp on the plate shown, there was one that I could actually chew. The chicken wings looked good. However, when you went to bite into them or pulled the chicken off, it was completely overcooked. There was nothing on that plate that you could eat all of it without part of it being either Cold or unable to be chewed. The only thing that was good, and the entire meal was the dessert and the fried shrimp, according to the waitress, neither of those were prepared on site. All the desserts that we like, including the ice cream or things that they buy already made by the company they get them from, and the shrimp were things that they just fried, and we re already breaded. My daughter enjoyed her drink, which was a frozen virgin daiquiri. I paid 2.99 for a pot of tea that leaked all over the table and was not very good. After three tries I think we will definitely find other places. my daughter had a virgin daiquiri that was $3.99, I had a pot of tea that was $2.99 and we both had the buffet and the bill was $73 and change before we even left the tip. Save your money and go someplace else.
Great buffet! Lots of variety! Staff are very attentive. Food
After reading all the bad reviews we were a little cautious but were glad we decided to try it. The food was decent and the bill was reasonable. The service was excellent!
Ordered for home delivery. Lemon chicken was like eating rubber. Definitely not cooked fresh. Food : 1/5
Great food selection and great service
While the food was tasty, it was not hot enough in my opinion.
