China Ben in Red Deer

The food was delicious

Rice was very plain , white . Did not look like a fried rice , I asked for a saucy not dried . I needed it more soy sauce or the extra flavor Food

Great fast lunch. Not too many items, but its very good for what is there.

I have been going here for a long time. The food is always good and their prices are reasonable for the times we are in. Friendly staff, busy restaurant. Good food.

Their buffet is very reasonably priced. Food was hot and tasty.

Although the location may seem a little off-putting, the food was fresh, the service was great, and inside was modren and chic. Definitely will be coming back again!

A gem of a restaurant. The food is not frozen processed heated it is All made in house and you can tell in the tasty flavor. 4.5 to 4.7 rate. We attend regular for the food and have never been let down on quality, of the food. They use little MSG also they say.

Terribly disappointed. Ordered pick up on a Tuesday at about 6pm. Everything was either dried up or soggy. Pretty sure we got the left overs from the lunch buffet

Always great food Most times we order to take away, and there s always enough food left over to enjoy a second helping Food

Inside was a lot bigger and cleaner than it looked from outside. Selections are a bit smaller than some other bigger Chinese buffets in town but they had all the popular choices. All westernized fake Chinese food. It was the end of the lunch hour and the food was still fairly fresh other than some noodles that dried out a bit. I would give it a 3 star rating, if it were in downtown Toronto but its central Alberta. If you want something quick, cheap ($16 for lunch buffet) and edible, its good. Id stop by again if I have a craving for some westernized Chinese food at a decent price.

Good food

Best in Red Deer Alberta!

So goodddddddd!!!!!!!!!!

Love the food

Its great value for your dollar.. food is average at best. But if you order a dinner for 2......for $40 you can it from the food for a week....yeah....order and see..

Great meal for Mothers Day 2024. Ginger beef and China Ben Special Chop Suey were our favs

The foods great and the staff are wonderful. Dessert/salad game are a little weak but theyve got the basics of those.

We had China Ben make and deliver food for our 100+ guest wedding! It was such a great experience the whole time! We contacted them a few months before to confirm and make sure this was something they were willing to do and they agreed! They were very easy to work with and checked in with us a few times about our food options. They delivered the food on time and all went well! Everyone had seconds and even thirds and we still had so much extra food leftover! Good portions, good price! All of our guests complimented the food choice and how good it tasted! Some of the best Chinese food weve had! Thank you to all the staff at China Ben for helping us have an amazing wedding!

We visited China Ben because of my mothers request. She love it here

We had delivery. The food arrived within an hour. Fresh and warm. All dishes were very good. We were particularly impressed with the Chop Suey and Chow Mein dishes as they were loaded with fresh vegetables. We will order again

Fantastic food. Wheelchair accessibility: You can dine on the first floor With out any stairs, Washrooms are on the first floor also.

Good overall, food was tasty and their customer service was good and attentive.

Amazing food, great pricing, and fast service. Portion sizes are fantastic. Enough to feed a family of 4 and then leftovers for everyone the next day! Food

Can never go wrong with this restaurant with deep dishes of Chinese cuisine. Most price in affordable category. Staff great and clean even bathrooms. Great job.

Mmm very good

Food wasnt that good some of it was ok but the part that threw me off the most is that I found a metal shaving in my food when I took a bite of the chow mein... Glad I didnt eat that.

Best Chinese food in town . Fast friendly service and staff are awesome sit in or take out I recommend this place.

The best salt and pepper seafood. I moved to Calgary but crave this dish and drive back for this every so often. Nothing in Calgary has even come close to this salt and pepper dish. It s very tasty and you get a nice variety of shrimp, squid and scallop. Generous portion size. 10/10 would recommend.

We have been Red Deer for many times. Just knew this place! The taste was really good, the ingredients were fresh and not too salty. Highly recommended for someone who likes to try some Chinese food!

Firstly, I never leave bad reviews - but I m blown away. I ve lived in Red Deer my entire life. I ve ordered from here countless times. This was $90, this is a dinner for SIX people Divide the rice in this picture among 6 people - so I guess people get 2 tablespoons of rice now when ordering take out from China Ben s? Try dividing the beef and Broccoli among 6 people. $90 - this is crazy Note: The ginger beef is a double order. The portion size of everything has decreased substantially. This is extremely disappointing. This does not feed six people and if it does, it s very small portions with zero leftovers in comparison to what they use to give

Food is gross not what I ordered will never be back then called and asked for new food they said no. Gross never again so disappointed

Special dinner for 2 was best Ive ever had!

If you re living in Red Deer or just passing by, stop by and give them a chance. Their food has no msg and you can tell. Foods we ordered today were very good and big portions. Would buy from them again!

We stayed at the hotel across from Bens so decided to try the food. It was very good!! Especially the Curry Prawns House Mein House Rice Wor Wonton We are hoping the Honey Garlic Pork softens for snacking tonight. It was deep fried and was very hard to bite into. Looking forward to our late night snack. Overall tasty dinner. Hidden of a place and the ladies were very attentive and nice!

We heard really good reviews of to this ppace, but for two days straight we could not get through to anyone to request a delivery. There are three number listed on the website and we could not get through to any numbers as the phone just rang or there was a busy tone.

Great food

Ordered take out dinner for 6 was enough for everyone and lots left over. Delicious fresh food. Stopped in today for lunch buffet good selection of dishes that they kept topping up, got the bill and only $15 , highly recommend

We were told by friends to check this out now, post covid. Fresh, tons of options. Affordable. Great staff. Yum. Try the wonton. Regularly rated in the top range in central Alberta.

Best Chinese food in red deer

China Ben is the reason google needs to add a zero stars option.

We went there for lunch buffet, its a smaller menu then other locations but the food Amazing good. Best Chicken Balls in central Alberta, wings were unreal all food good or better than other buffet in Red Deer very economical also $15.00 lunch. place was packed with lunch time and understandable why it was busy

Best in Red Deer

Best Chinese food in red deer.

Restraunt caller stating delivery driver was waiting outside my residence when clearly he was not. Then as time passed I called back asking if they had wrote down the correct address!?! Restaurant employee stated oh hell be back in just a few minutes. Half an hr goes by and still no driver! Then finally when he does arrive the food is not only cold but soggy. Not exactly the most ideal meal. I wont be ordering from here again! Maybe a discount at that point would be a good way of showing customer appreciation. Just my thoughts....

Best Chinese Food in Red Deer. The dishes are generous sizes, great flavor. Great staff. Great service.

Got the Singapore noodles, had so many yummy things in it! Got take out and only took them about 10 min to cook it up for us. HUGE PORTIONS!

I finally found a good Chinese food restaurant that doesnt use msg. The food is awesome. So glad we tried this place. The ginger beef is amazing. All the dishes are delicious.

Need more variety in meal for one curry beef was a joke skimped on beef and to many vegetables and sauce runny not impressed

We dined in and found the food fresh, crisp, and delicious. I think maybe for the first time we tasted actual ginger in our ginger beef. Our dishes in a dinner for four were generously portioned, and easily left us with school/work lunches for the next day. The waitress was polite, fair, and accommodating even though we arrived at an hour - near closing- when it might almost be considered impolite. I think this is our new go to place for Chinese food in Red Deer

Food and service was very good

I got delivery. It showed up a bit earlier than they quoted and everything was great. Will order again

Lived in Red Deer area for over 20 years and didnt know about this place, its not advertised very well and is kind of hidden. But if youre looking for GOOD Chinese food in town, dont waste your time looking any further. They also have a weekday buffet.

Very expensive for a an special for 2 , hardly any food. Not worth the money. Better to go to a Chinese restaurant down near the court house. Food and service awesome. Food

Excellent food!

Always the best chinese food. Been there more than 20 years atleast because Im 20. Always huge healthy portions for a low cost.

Ordered a bunch of different dishes for our staff, everything was awesome! Keep up the good work.

Best food love it

Excellent aa usual!!!

Always yummy and a fair price! Thank you

Yum. My go to Chinese food place.

Ok food

Very tasty. Delivery is right on time. Friendly and they know the real Chinese quality. Their service is undeniably the best. They go above & beyond.

All I can say is WOW!!!!! China Bens has never disappointed on quality, consistency, taste and presentation! They have the most delicious Chinese food Ive ever had in my life!!!! If you are a foodie this is food Po#n at its finest! Amazing taste and quality EVERY SINGLE TIME!!!! I drool just thinking of their food. Hands down 6 out of 5 stars!!!

Food is ok, but some staff are very rude

Food is not the same as I rember prepandemic. No indoor seating. I miss the buffet at noon. The food is hot hot hot The cram the containers so full they are spilling ! Its mostly rice. I wont eat all this. A dinner for one has so much food it could also feed two or three.

Always great food.

Just a small sample of their delicious buffet! My friend says the deep fried offerings, wings, dry ribs, shrimp, and chicken balls all tender and tasty! Vegetables fresh and so good! The restaurant is nothing fancy(in a strip mall) but it s clean, tidy and all the food was very good! Oh, yes, let s not forget the lovely assortment of dessert tidbits to finish off our meal! Super affordable,as well. Gets busy at lunch time, locals know about this place! We will be back!!! Thanks for a wonderful lunch, China Ben!

Good food in a hurry

Always good and fast

Love the food.

I ordered food at 4:55 its 6:45 and its still not here,I wonder what it will taste like after driving around for an hour at least since it left China Ben

Food is amazing

Their driver doesn t wear a mask and you can t pay ahead. Order through Skip the Dishes for safe delivery. Food was ok.

Some of the best food in town.

Great food for a great price, the portions are big too

Good food and friendly staff

Great food good value

Not licensed

Cheap lunch buffet and pretty tasty.

Always good food

Excellent take out and definitely decent pricing

I went there with a few friends for dinner . I would recommended people to go try the restaurant.

It is ok!!!

Always great, best chinese food in Red Deer...eat in buffet daily priced reasonable and also take out!

Decent food. Decent service.

Buffet always fresh and tasty!

Tasty food at a good price.

Yesterday I was odder beef chop suey Ben chowmein it was very disgusting ..it like a leftover food ..wish I cloud give a zero

Super polite staff, best ginger beef, and awesome prices. I wish they still have buffet everyday. They DO offer take out buffet on the days they have it though! Can beat that!

Great food great service

I will go here every time I visit Red Deer

Open until 10pm but wont answer the phone 850pm. Horrible service

We got there at 710pm and she really didnt want to serve us because it was slow and the cook wanted to go home we ordered some thing quickly and when the egg rolls came out they were burnt badly I asked for different ones and she said that the egg rolls had to be over cooked otherwise the dough wouldnt be cooked and I said I still wanted new ones they were only slightly better and all you could here from the back was the cook hollering, we wont be back this the third time we went through this.

One of my favourite Chinese food places. Not slimy like many other places in Red Deer. Very friendly staff. Quick service!

Good food; good prices.

Fast service, tasty food

Was not very happy with the food quality again. We wont be back for awhile.

Getting slacker. Gastric distension guaranteed.

Always great food! Nice people and consistent quality...

We missed the buffet night but were happy with the menu items we ordered. Staff was friendly!

I love this place-the food is always hot, fresh, and delicious!!!! My go to for buffet or take out!

We have been going here for years when the craving for Chinese cuisine hits and they always deliver! Food is always fresh and hot and the service is top notch! Highly recommend China Ben!!

Very poor customer service.I called and ordered chicken wings for pick up and when I went there to pick it up,they say no more chicken because of huge buffet customers.

Always great food and good service

Never disappoints

Absolutely never seem to answer the phone.

Always love coming here. Made fresh to order, always delicious. Even the fried foods are never too greasy

Love this place!Great food eat in or out.Great dine in experience great service!

Pretty decent assortment of food. I prefer this buffet over the others. Good service. Great Value for the really great price.

wonderful food , fast service

Best Wor Wonton soup in town!

Order delivery from here. I took a really long time to show up. They really over do it with the batter. Its very thick and greasy (they even batter their egg rolls, this kind of ruins it for me). That being said, I brought my leftovers in to work for coworkers and didnt get any complaints. Some people say this is the best way to do Chinese food; dirty and greasy. If you agree, then this is your spot. All in all, you get a respectable amount of food for your dollar, just not my kind of food.

Scary

Delicious every time!!

Really good food

Fast and friendly service

Always get great service and very friendly staff. Great food.

I love it here. The food is SO GOOD! I have not had the buffet but I can assure you, the food off the menu is some of the best Chinese food I have ever had. My husband and I ordered the dinner for 4 with the intentions of taking half home for the kids. The meal started with wonton soup. Then they brought us an egg roll. Egg rolls never usually impress me but this one was great! I almost ate the ones I promised to bring home for the kids. Next came out chicken balls. Now I usually hate these doughy concoctions with the tiniest piece of meat in the middle that you have to take 2 bites to find. I cut one of China Bens in half and it was 95% Chicken!!! I suddenly ate more than my quarter (screw the kids). The ginger beef was tender yet had a crunch on the outside and was so delicious. You didnt bend your fork stabbing it. Lemon chicken was again, so great. But one thing they brought out was mini corn, mushrooms and beef in a sauce. It didnt look overly appetizing but I always try everything. So I dug into this dish and it was AMAZING! I dont know what they put on it but I would order it any day. In the end, we came home stuffed with more food than my teenagers could eat, and 2 picky boys tried the darn mushroom/corn/beef dish and it was the first thing gone. Go here. They dont disappoint

Sorry, but the rice was way to salty, couldn t eat The beef mushroom & baby corn was horrible. The only good to eat was the chicken balls

Absolutely amazing food! Arrived steaming hot and great serving sizes. Definitely making this our go to Chinese food place.

WORSE FOOD EVER would rate them a minus 5 if we could. Ordered 6 dishes and not one was tasty. Left most of it...Place was filthy. Only one other couple was there when we arrived. That should have been our first clue as it was 6pm. Don t think they have heard of seasonings. Deep fried, greasy, YUCK!!!! Our advise, DON T BOTHER!!!

Kind of in a weird side of town and the shrimp tasted fake but other than that it was good

Best smorga in red deer

Good food...

Great place to dine in or take-out ,plus delivery, for Chinese food.

My favorite buffet in town

Loved the food. It was very fresh. Special chow mein was fantastic. Very very good food. Will definitely eat at China Ben again. Excellent food

Excellent food and service. Buffet wasnt as big as some, but still a nice variety.

I really like their lunch buffet!

Nice staff, good food

The buffet was decent, plenty of variety. Good food, but not the best. The waitress was always there with refills and polite. I had a good experience.

Amazing food but horrid service

Been over ten years since Ive had a meal China Ben , big thumbs up to them .Glad I had a chance to eat here once again.

The only place I will go for Chinese food. The staff are super friendly, and the food is delicious!

Good food. Good service. A+

This was my favorite place to order from. However as of lately the food has changed and I am terribly dissatisfied and do not enjoy it any more. Looking for a new favorite place.

Best Chinese food in red deer

Have been coming for years...always great food and service

Large plates, nice staff, but the quality has gone down in the past year, dont recommend as they need to work on the food served

The food was bland or just horrifyingly bad. The ginger beef had no ginger the sweet and sour sauce was not sweet or sour. The pie made me not want to eat pie for a long time it was that bad and at 11.49......$10 to much.

Remember to check if buffet is being offered

Great food, clean and quiet, good parking free

Dont even know where to begin....egg rolls were 3/4 dough stuffed with cheap frozen vegetables. Sweet and sour pork was more like sweet and sour deep fried breaded bones, fried rice had pork bone shards in it. Little to no chicken in the chicken balls. I also requested to call on arrival as I had my 1 year old down for a nap, thy showed up, rang the doorbell and woke him up, I was definitely not impressed. Will never order from again....

Ive had alot of Chinese food. And Ive had Chinese food in small towns that I thought was pretty bad. But going to China Bens was the worst Chinese food experience Ive ever had. The ginger beef if you want to call it that was soggy and flavorless, the rice was terrible, everything was horrible, I thought I would at least full up on desert and it was even terrible. And on top of all that my girlfriend was sick all night. Dont go save your money.

Wish I could give a zero. I have eaten food from China Bens for many, many years(like 15+ years) but I will never order from there again. Sent us rice with shrimp in it. I have never ordered this type of rice....ever. I am allergic to fish so ya, Im pretty sure as to what I ordered. But instead of making things right you want to argue with my wife saying that is what we ordered and offered up no resolve. Pathetic service. And to think I tipped the driver 8 bucks because he was such a nice guy. I hope he, and only he gets the tip. Lost a customer for life over 10 bucks worth of rice. I would of settled for a credit or even an apology.

Its amazing food its my favourite Chinese restaurant in Red Deer

I ordered pickup, and the person who took my order was polite and easy to understand. When I got there to pickup my Ford I had to wait at the front counter for 10 minutes before dinner came to see me. When I got home I was disappointed by the food quality. I have eaten at China Bens before and there food used to be better. The sweet and sour pork, was more grizzle than pork, the ginger beef was mostly just a sweet beef, no ginger to be found. The beef and broccoli was a lot smaller portion then normal and there fried rice, very bland. Then, instead of fortune cookies, we got buns, very odd. I think I will be eating at a different Chinese restaurant from now on.

worst food ever

Fresh good Chinese food -Very nice people
