Food is great, service too, price OK if you make sure you're going there hungry. There's one problem, huge problem, there are TVs everywhere broadcasting TVA nouvelles... As if I wanted to eat with my family watching a triple murder news or anything regarding American politics. I ask the waitress to turn it off (my kids were hypnotized by it) and she was scared of her of boss's reaction. 100$ to eat in front of TV news, no thanks.

It was out first time to eat here since some people are going and saying it was good,we took a diner with my family (3 of us) and very excited since from what they been told was delicious, however it was the opposite, wasn't good at all with alot of selection i can only point like 3 dishes were quite okay...now we just got home,me and my wife are having bad stomach because of what we ate and we are very much sure that it was the Mussels... ---Never again---

It was good. So much food to choose from. Would definitely love to go back! I of course stuck to the Chinese food part of the restaurant, yum yum . There's food for all kinds of appetites

I was disappointed with this restaurant. Despite being told it is a Chinese buffet with international options, there were no such dishes, and the food tasted strange and cheap. The restaurant wasn’t very clean, and they didn’t list ingredients, which is essential for people with dietary restrictions. While the decor was nice and the waitress friendly, I won’t be returning or recommending it.

Ordered food, kids were hungry and excited for food. Chicken with cashew had ZERO chicken in it! Literally zero. Chicken soup had two tiny pieces of chicken and the taste wasn't good at all. Paid $60 and everyone is still hungry and super upset. I would like my money for the chicken and cashew back..

When I visit difference places. I usually google all you can eat because I want to try one in every city. So here we are at Tomas Tam. Not quite the buffet I expected in Quebec. This the 3rd worst buffet I have ever eaten. The food looks like its been sitting in the back all day. Counter were a mess. And the main reason why Im giving a two star is because most of pans were empty. I even waited about 30 minutes for them to refill but nope..still empty Edited: Fast forward to December..Came back here because most restaurants are close for the holidays..and still very disappointing about the food. Never again.

Piece of raw fish broken down and refusal to compensate because I didnt show it on site. Sorry for having supper with my eyes in water given a situation in my life and not having the head to speak to a manager. Last time. Plus I got a super quick response on the messenger.

Super good service. The diversity of the buffet was good, the quality of the food was good but nothing to impress us. The restaurant is clean, but the decoration seems the same to me as when my parents took me there as a child 25 or 30 years ago. We went there for the Sunday evening buffet.

Excellent Asian Buffet style restaurant. The food is good and there is a very wide choice of Chinese dishes, fish and other dishes. Cleanliness is OK but the utensils for serving at the buffet are sticky and would benefit from being cleaned more frequently. The staff is courteous and polite. Prices are competitive. Plenty of parking and easy to access.

In my opinion its like eating in Cuba. So if you are not a fan of Cuba dont go to this place. A mouse in the dining room was pretty ordinary too. the price is very high...for the quality of the food.

October 22, 2024

This is no longer the Tomas Tam I knew. The buffet (strictly Chinese), the food is just ORDINARY, tasteless. The quality of the products is certainly not first class. Basic service, nothing more. Then there is the comfort of the bench seats which is completely missing, the furnishings need to be redone. Regular customers my wife and I, its now over! Then what a surprise when you received the bill, almost $70 for 2 buffets (evening) simply unacceptable!!!

Very good service! As soon as my glass was empty, my waitress came to refill it for me. My empty plates were cleared away as soon as I was finished with them. I loved the good service I got. You dont see that everywhere! The food was tasty, freshly cooked when I went to help myself. I saw the staff bring a lot of fresh food, its very pleasant as a customer. I was happy to pay, because it was worth it. I recommend it to fans of all-you-can-eat buffets. The best in Quebec!

It used to be good. It is now dilapidated. Unclean (especially the toilets). It seems that there is a lack of investment in the premises... The menu is adequate but expensive. The crowd there is typical of a buffet. But really, its starting to get tough... Especially at the asking price... Its aging badly...

Choice of raw, large shrimp and good breaded fish plus Chinese vegetables to my taste and excellent Won Tom soup! Egg rolls and other excellent choices! In my case I paid $25.00 plus taxes but profitable for me because I ate several large shrimp which were of premium, non-sticky quality! Excellent place for different menus Vegetarian options: It is written Dietary restrictions: They put reviews on several dishes Parking: 100 easy places Kid-friendliness: Yes varied dishes for children and special prices for young children Wheelchair accessibility: Automatic doors therefore easy for people with reduced mobility

The pineapple chicken was tough, and the general tao chicken was also tough, not chewy, even the breading was tough.

In short, very disappointed with our meal.
