Tasty Chinese buffet and take-out restaurant.
My husband and I went here for date night and they seem understaffed. It was a busy Friday night/weekend and there was lots of people. We stood around waiting for about 10-15 minutes before being seated. We were told just to go seat ourselves at one side. We then waited again for our server before we would start the buffet. We waited about 5-10 minutes before we just went ahead to the buffet. I wouldn't blame the staff for them not being as quick as they should be because there was very few staff and so many customers. Food here was mediocre at best. It's edible, best thing I enjoyed here was the chicken fried rice. The price is a bit high for the quality of food here.
Been ordering for a few years and seems like food quality went down. The amount of vegetables (which consists of mainly sliced onions and broccoli stalks) is 3:1 to meat.
Food is flavorless & service non existent.
Went in got some open egg rolls not the best synthetic plum sauce bad after taste
Only good thing they do for delivery is breaded shrimp, chicken fried rice, chicken balls and cantonese chow mein. The honey garlic wings were stale, not fresh and no flavor, curry chicken had barely any chicken and TONS of onions and green peppers that were overcooked. Shanghai noodles were ok but not much flavor and the pork in the shanghai noodles and cantonese chow mein was pretty dry and stale too.
Place must be very popular as it was packed and a lineup out the door for takeout. But they need to hire more staff as some people waited an hour for the food. Kids would be very hungry by then. The lady who seemed to be the owner was flying to look after everyone. I found the prices a bit high for the quality of food and the atmosphere.
I don’t usually write reviews but do not eat here. We came mid service diner buffet, the trays were either empty or the food dried out. The empty trays were not caused by a swarm of people. The empty trays when we arrived were still empty when we left. There was barely any options and the food was sub standard. Spider webs were lining the walls and the restaurant was dirty. Poor service too. The ice cream spoons are around the corner and out of view from the non existent dessert bar. The mistake I made was using a spoon from the tray beside the ice cream to scoop and had the waitress angrily tell me to use the other ones. We paid 67$ for two people and barely ate. You’d be better off going to the Mandarin in Orleans.
Yummy ! A great Chinese place in Rockland. The usual Canadian-Chinese style fast-food. We had their General Tsao chicken ($14.25) - too bad it does not come with steam rice (only reason why I give it 4/5 as most other Chinese places we go to will give you rice for that price). I like that it came with a good size portion of veggies (could’ve been more however - again 4/5).Chicken seemed fresh and was crispy enough. Too much sauce thought I found. Super awesome service, fast as well for takeout orders. Busy spot in Rockland.
Got food poisoning
Always good
Good food and service, nice place to eat with a big group, especially if you like your food deep fried
My familys been ordering take-out or eating inside the restaurant for many years. Since covid, we found the food quality/quantity has dropped, but the prices keep going up. The wonton soups are overpriced at $9 for a large size, which is actually a medium soup. The egg rolls used to be our favourites, but they have an odd taste now. The chicken balls only come with a small sweet and sour sauce sauce for a full order. The buffet price has increased by quite a lot over the years as well.
Excellent service, great food
Not too fancy inside for dining in, we have only taken out. The food is awesome. Always fresh and hot. Vegetarian options: Lots of options
If i could leave a review and give 0 i would ive been waiting for my order for 2 1/2 hours ive been calling and no answer ive called 8 times and no one answers im not impressed i can honestly say worst restaurant here in town n thats just on experience i havent even been able to try the food my opinion? Dont waste your time
Very good buffet missing something Item but the staff had to run to satisfy the request the waitress who was the only one who knew how to serve us without us feeling forgotten And there were ten of us Definitely worth a try
Super friendly owner, amazing food quality and price! Highly recommend.
Went for the dinner buffet today, and honestly the food was disgusting! The staff/owners were really nice but the food was a definite no for me and my husband.
It tastes great! The amount of food was also enough. Two people ordered three dishes, could not finish at all. Highly recommended!
Great tasting chinese food.
Buffet is only Friday and Saturday nights need to change sign out front
Updade 2023: Gave it another try... Same old, same old. Missed a few things in the order, but at least did not get charged. Completely missed it. Rice is bland. Do not believe their wait time... Double it. Ok chinese food. Nothing more nothing less. If they say 25 minutes for pick up, expect 45-50. Frustrating. Time to try the other place. Im done trying.
I would give 5 stars because everything is good. FOR DELIVERY: Do not encourage tipping of $5.00 or more, delivery 5 minutes by car from my home. $4.00 the driver for delivery is already paid and we feel obligated to tip!! While the other Chinese restaurant in Rockland has free delivery!!!
My first time here found it very inviting and very clean. The waitress was very nice she greeted us when we came in with a smile . Got our drinks right away.
Great food, great service and staff. clean amd normally.barlwy anyone eating in.. Food is always on time n fresh. Def my go to
My husband and i havent been to the resraurant in a while. We decided to eat out . and came to Maison de Xin . We made an excellent choice the buffet was excellent and the atmosphere verry nice and happy people eating great food. And excellent service with a verry freindly Staff.
Dinner for 1 about 20 $,
Clean and tidy. Went on a weekday for lunch. Nobody except another couple of people. Saw only one guy running around taking orders, manning the desk (many take away orders) and also serving. Food was good. Adequate portions and smiling good service, albeit a bit slow given that a single person was managing. Well done.
Good table service. Good quality of food and good variety. Maleureuseman the counter service at the aceul was well suited for a first experience of this place.
Order to take away, the cook had just finished cleaning the plate. It must have taken 25 minutes. But the lady who took our order warned us before and it was perfect to complete the 2-3 missing purchases. Parking: Parking directly in front of the entrance!
A plane Jane Chinese food restaurant, it was good nonetheless. Waitress was great.
I feel that this Chinese food has the best quality food and service and prices
This is my fist review of Maison De Xi as I recently moved to Rockland. My review will be realistic due to the fact that we are in a pandemic and that my order was on New Years eve (most busy time) The online ordering is flawless. The given time of delivery was 90 minutes and it was exactly that. I was well greeted at the door. The food: Pros: Great portions and the containers are above standard. Neatly placed in the bag with no spillage. Egg rolls are average and quite delicious. The Chicken Balls were well battered and contained a fair sized chunk of chicken. The General Tso was simply amazing! The best choice of my order. Wow! So good! The Fried Rice was not over cooked and kept its flakiness. No clumps. The Almond Chicken Guy Ding Was disappointing but the portion was good. Cons: The Egg rolls had a taste of old fried oil and the texture was pasty and dry. Still good tasting. The chicken balls were a tad dry. Nothing major to announce here. The Fried Rice was pale in color. I had to add more soya sauce as well as chopped scallions. There wasnt enough of that as well as chicken. I could barely find pieces of chicken in the dish. The Almond Guy Dings sauce had a darker color that Im not used to but still tasted ok but the vegetables needed to be cooked more. They were too raw. Would I order there again? Absolutely. Given the time of year and how busy they were, Maison De Xin needs another chance. My overall rating on this order: 7 out of 10
Great service food is amazing
Favorite Chinese place in Rockland. Missing the buffet though. I hope covid doesnt take this gem from us with all these shut downs!
Well, paying $68 for food, only to have to wait two-hours for lukewarm food isn t my idea of service. It s sad too since their food is awesome! I will find another place next time.
We always order from this restaurant. This time the rice was hard and they mixed up my order. Usually 5 Very accommodating though. My fav in town.
Cant even say it got here on time. Placed a large order for 8 adults, had leftovers for a week that I had to dress up, no-one had more then a sampling of each item.
I cannot suggest this restaurant enough! We order from here every few weeks, and they are always excellent! They give a very generous amount of food as well. Every time I order a meal for 3 it ends up feeding 4, sometimes with leftovers! It is also very fairly priced. I love the orange chicken and the wonton soup the most. But cant go wrong with anything.
Ive been ordering from them for over 20 years....Since the new owner took over its not been the same !!!! I just did a 75 $ order and was charged 4.50 delivery fee.
Dont order from there it took us 3hour to get r food order at 5:30 and didnt get till 8h00-9h00pm, it and made us pay for the entire thing so bad service.
Ok place to eat
Very good
Good fresh food Staff are very friendly and can offer 1/2 portions Buffet on Saturday and Sunday Vegetarian options: Some vegetable dishes Parking: Ok
Excellent Chinese food
Friendly , customer oriented staff!
Price of buffet increased tremendously from pre-pandemic pricing. For 3 dollars more per person go to Mandarin. So many plates were still dirty as they seemed like they didnt get well washed. Several diners complained about this. Food was ok but honestly it was way better the times I ordered take out when dining in wasnt an option.
We have been difficulties trying to dine in as there sign are confusing for the buffet times & its availability. Finally decided to order take out. The vegetable fried rice was nice, the beef with mixed vegetables was ok but had more vegetables than beef, the closed end egg rolls were good but smaller in size than other places Ive tried. Hopefully we get to try the buffet before COVID protocols are emplamented again.
Thanks for the great birthday delivery dinner! Hot, fresh and appreciated the extra treat you included. Thanks so much.
Very good food .
Egg rolls tasted awful, meat was off putting and we garbaged them. Rice, almond guy ding and bean sprouts noodles were all lacking in flavor, tasteless and bland. Sadly a waste of 80.00 dollars, never going back Disappointed.
Only used takeout so far, but service was quick and food delicious with good sized portions. Would recommend.
Ordered at 510pm. Was told it would be ready at 540/545pm. I arrive at 540pm. I had to wait till 610pm for the order. Busy or not, I find this slightly unacceptable. Finally we get home to find they gave us the wrong order number. It was a simple matter of sweet and sour chicken balls given rather than the garlic spare ribs. We do not eat battered chicken. I call them in hopes for a easy resolution. Instead I get called a liar and that they will do nothing. They said this is the order number you gave us and we repeated the numbers at the end. However I told them exactly what I wanted in the orders not knowing the numbers so once they repeated the numbers at the end, I had no idea and assumed it would be as asked for. We were wrong. Ill gladly drive to Orleans for my Chinese food and better customer service. All they had to do was simply tell us yes, were sorry. If you dont mind come back and we will have half a side order of garlic spare ribs.
Some of the best Chinese food in town!
Go-to place in Rockland for Chinese food. Super consistent quality, fresh and delicious every time. Great reception.
Love their wonton soup! I have loved everything I have tried from there. Nice portions too.
Good as usual. Can always count on their food tasting good.
If I could put 0 stars I would, this place always gave me and my parents food poisoning unless we have shrimp tempura or chicken fried rice
Great food fast service great staff
Having lived in Montreals chinatown I have tried just about everything. The maison de xin has food that is just as good.
Super good
Great food good prices good service.
The food is good but when ordering for delivery theres always something missing or not sending what I ordered.
The food was really good, the portions sizes are great too.
Great food at good prices.
Service excellent but if you want a 80% fried food buffet it s the place. Very disappointed use to come here back in the days and I feel they just gave up. No variety of salads either. Won t be coming back unfortunately. Overpriced for what it is.
Lovely place to spend with family and very relaxing.
Awsome thanks for you experience it is always perfect
Great food lots of choices. Great family restaurant.
Came here last night for the first time for dinner around 5:30pm - grabbed a seat and headed right for the buffet, there was very limited selection and most bins were empty or about to be. There were maybe 15 people in total in the restaurant ... we grabbed what we could of Chinese food (most of their selection consisted of deep fried fries, zucchini and a very sad looking pizza that hadn t been touched) . We went up for seconds after a while as our first plate was very limited and we hoped that they had started the restocking, at this point there was even less food and nothing had been replenished. There were a total of 16 bins of food and half of which were empty. The waitress was nice so we were sure to tip her well. All in all, not worth the 47$ before tip when you can spend an extra 15$ at mandarin for 10x the amount of FRESH selection.
Always delicious.
Food is fresh great service cost not bad but for the price it could have more buffet options but I would go again
Not the best place but our town doesnt have good asian food place... do not order take out when its a holiday. Took us approx. 1 hr to get our food once we got there at the specified PU time!!!!!
Food was fresh and tasty. Full pieces of white chicken breast.
Quick service. Staff were friend. Food lacked flavour and was dry. The rice was dry and the general Tao chicken lacked flavour
Fresh, hot and delicious food. I had the chowmein with an eggroll and both were great. The chowmein is huge, Ive got enough for 2-3 meals. It would be good if there was more sauce in the chowmein though, as some noodles were dry. Otherwise, I enjoyed it! Theyre not afraid of giving you veggies which is awesome, and the eggroll is one of the best Ive had.
Was going through Rockland on my way home and decided to grab some Chinese food. Picked up an order of chicken in black bean sauce, chicken balls and hunan dumplings. We were blown away the chicken was fantastic and the dumplings were a perfect blend of peanut butter and spice. If your looking for Chinese and are in the Rockland area try this place. *note: we ordered online and my husband was the one that went in so I didn t see the what the interior was like or how the staff handled customers.*
Its super good I love it and excellent service
Best restaurant of its kind in my area. Used to go to blackburn hamlet but this a place to be mentioned. Fast and very friendly service everytime.
Delivery driver showed up with soup spilled all over our order. And still tried to give it to me.
Take out was very good quality and delicious. Combination plates had generous portions.
Best food
Been ordering here for 3 years , this past year is a nightmare almost 2 hour wait or need to call back cause they forgot my order , place is complete trash....
Awesome Chinese food! Very fresh and tasty!
Excellent tasting food, we order ahead of time to have them cook without msg. Very pleased and will definitely do take out again
Best chinese food!!!
I went there for the buffet around quarter to 7 at night everything was empty the food was old and it wasnt very good I wasnt impressed
Food quality really depends on the cook. Food was very bland and tasteless. Very disappointing for the 1st day of the new year.
Love it!
Very good service and friendly staff
Food was very good.
Spring rolls are excellent.
Good service good meal
Good food but often empty dish
For a small town Buffet, they keep with simplicity and quality. I love the atmosphere. The staff is always friendly. That place is an institution in Rockland. I love it.
Had take out. Speedy and always delicious
Disappointed about their General Tao chicken
Worse place ever. Everyone i know that went there got extremly sick. Dont go.
Our first visit. Very enjoyable dinner and nice atmosphere. Will definitely be going back again.
Very good food and good service
Food always good and new online order is very easy to use
Food is good but I find the buffet a little expensive especially for children
Can use a good scrubbing but food is delish
Excellent place, excellent service
amazing service. wish they had more veggie options without meat
Not much variety in regards to the buffet but the food tastes great. The staff is helpful and full of smiles.
Food and service was good. Overall a good experience.
Food was ok. Dining room was dirty.
Tonight not so good
So busy on Mothers Day. Good food.
Found myself in Rockland and was tempted to try this restaurant while driving by Quantity is huge, but lacks in taste and flavour Got the shrimp Singapore noodle dish
Very nice employees, good food and nice arrangements.
Good Chinese food. Buffet was reasonably priced. Service was decent
Any time I order from them they call me back with a problem.. either they can t fulfill my selection, or they have to cancel because the order I ve already placed and waited ten minutes for can t be delivered since their driver left for the day . Horrible experiences with zero apologies for inconvenience. Over them! I ordered at 9:20, they called me back at 9:40 saying they couldn t fulfill which they should have known at 9:20. Aren t you open until 10? I called their competitor at what would NOW be considered pretty last minute, but they happily took my order, and brought it to be promptly, because they appreciate business and people s time. This owners response is ridiculous and they took zero accountability on the phone, nor cared about the inconvenience in wasting my time. I ll never choose them again, because this isn t the only issue, rather the final straw.
If I could give 0 I would 6 pm buffe has no food in it only dried up food paid 80 for 2 kids and 2 adults very dissapointed dessert had terrible old tasting cake We wont return at all Ruby is the best fresh food buffe always full
Friendly staff, good food, nice variety.
Staff is nice, friendly and the food is always fresh.
If I could give a 0 star I would.The worst food I have ever had in a restaurant..NOTHING on the buffet selection was flavourful or tasty..some of it was utterly disgusting..Too much fried stuff..hardly anything healthy.. Desert was horrible too.. Complete waste of money..Never going back there again.
Ok so did the online order for home delivery. Just scroll for your items was easy to use. This location always has good service and fresh items best Chinese food for Rockland
Good food, great personal. Been going many years & still our family favorite. Recommend to try. Enjoy.
Amazing food. Great service. Price is perfect for the buffet
Happy To see us. Very good buffet. Polite, clean restaurant.
Slow
Good food & gorgeous buffet !!!
Fairly wide selection on dishes
Great food
Great atmosphere and food
Nothing special. One thing to note is the amount of salt used. My god I feel my arteries tightening has I eat this. Buffet expensive for what it is.
The food was extremely soggy, the desserts tasted like soap and when my dining partner made a bad joke about dine and dash the owner made sure to be 5 steps within our table the whole night it made the meal awkward and uncomfortable.
Nice Canadian-Chinese food place. New owners as of Nov 19 so I hope it works out for them.
Food was quite tasty. Good selection. Not terribly overpriced. Giant dining room, no reseevation required. My only complaint is the egg rolls had some sort of meat puree filling, as opposed to the bean sprout style I prefer. Other than that we will return.
Good food good waitress
Good food at a fair price
Decent food at a reasonable price. Staff very friendly. Go early to ensure freshness.
Very good but no crab legs
Good variety of standard Chinese buffet dishes..good wonton and egg rolls. Dishes were kept full but not really hot. Dessert slices were a bit on the dry side but also jello and ice cream variety. No salad bar but romaine. Pricey for just a small eater.
Very good!
very nice place and good buffet not to expensive
Great Chinese buffet
Always good at the buffet
Food was stale and old. While we were there No one even took the time to see if the food needed to be refreshed or was empty So for almost $70 for 3 people Maison DeXin should really step up. But they do not
We love the egg rolls!!
Good variety and the food is pretty decent.
Enjoyable.. Great buffet
Always enjoy my lunch at Maison de Xin. The owner and her husband, who prepares the food, always remember their clientele. They were very helpful when our house was flooded in the spring 2017 Ottawa River flood.
Good buffet, good selection, lots of people and good food turnover.
A lot of dishes empty
Always fresh and hot. Great service.
Buffet always fresh and restocked. Great service and prices.
Not impressed
My favorite spot for Chinese food! Its can get pretty busy, but thats a good sign I always say. Its nice that they do delivery with night off delivery.
The food was sooo good
Good
Fast, courteous service! Excellent food every time!
Love this place
Not great but not bad, recommended.
