Got take out and it was terrible, very overpriced, will not order again.

February 25, 2024

I ordered a beef & broccoli, I got only 3 pieces of beef and the rest was just broccoli. All the other food I ordered was overcooked.

★★★★

Not necessarily quality, but quantity, and it's a pretty good buffet for a small town

★★★★★

Happy to find a Chinese food restaurant. The choices and quality was great. Will definitely be returning !

★★★
September 7, 2018

Food was great except for some like sushi which was a bit dry and poorly made. I was surprised to see fried frog legs there lol. Great selection of food. If only they had better and cleaner interior... Kinda old and dirty...

★★★★
August 29, 2017

Very good Buffet old style egg rolls that we used to get a Nova Scotia and frog legs are also on the buffet

★★
August 2, 2017

Portions are not at par with other restaurants with similar menu. Chicken balls were mostly breading and hard dry pressed chicken. Fried rice had no flavour and lacked everything except rice. Ribs were good. General tso was not bad. The soup was not bad. Overall not a good first impression.

★★★
September 9, 2016

This is a pretty decent Chinese buffet. There's not much of a selection for someone like me who can eat fish, but doesn't meat or poultry. They have your usual Chinese buffet standbys like rice, fried rice, egg rolls, etc. Dessert is pretty limited as well.

December 16, 2024

No buffet. You cannot eat on site. Misleading presentation?

★★★★
December 1, 2024

We were entertaining this evening and we ordered 1 number 2 for 2 and 1 number 3 for 2 and everything was very good and delivered on time. We reheated a few dishes, because some were a little warm, but otherwise, nothing negative to say, except that its a shame that we can no longer eat in the buffet!

I ordered myself a meal yesterday. Strangely Im not surprised that I spent the night being sick. Its clearly not fresh food.... (See in the photo, its supposed to be chicken) Despite the years that go by, I dont understand why its still open after several complaints of unsanitary conditions. Brief... I recommend it if you want to lose a few pounds quickly!

Despite what people say, the food was good and a nice welcome, what I think is a shame is that there is no longer a buffet and we cannot use the dining room

June 22, 2024

I really liked the food and the welcome too

May 22, 2024

I asked for some bamboo take out this week! And I have just recovered from a huge case of food indigestion and I am not the first to have this happen to this restaurant, be careful with the unsanitary conditions!

May 22, 2024

Received dishes still cold even with ice cream very disappointed he put everything in the microwave and a plus its expensive Ill never go back there again

April 22, 2024

I ordered a number 2 for 2 I had to have chicken chow main, I got chicken chop suey Instead of getting pineapple chicken, I got chicken in cherry sauce with very little sauce and no pineapple, the rice was dry, They saw me and will never see me again Very very disappointing

April 22, 2024

The prices on their website are not up to date and neither on Joliette Menus. We had a group order and 4 egg rolls for $14 before taxes, so thats $4 per egg roll. Its very surprising. I dont need to indicate the price for the rest of the order, its very expensive. We also ordered beef macaroni, but no beef in the macaroni once the order was received. The vegetables mixed with beef were not cooked, it was hard to bite into. The rice is very dry.

March 22, 2024

Its no longer like before very disappointed with my meal I was served something reheated from the day before soft egg roll soo guy tough chicken Im never going to eat at this restaurant again

Plus de salle a manger. Je demande a la seule serveuse qui sert les gens si la salle a manger va réouvrir un jour? Sa réponse; NON JAMAIS!!! hem...Aussi, le repas que jai commandé nétait malheureusement que du réchauffé de la veille on dirait. Pas vraiment délicieux. Super décevant même. $24 pour ce repas a emporter. Je ne le vous conseille pas. Merci

From one time to the next it never tastes the same. The egg rolls and the breaded chicken are really very fatty. We dont go there anymore, its really disgusting.

December 22, 2023

Very disappointed will definitely not return

Local Guide
December 22, 2023

I would have put 0/5: Not edible! Everything that made up my meal was...disgusting! I will NEVER go back there. In addition, I have serious doubts about the freshness of the foods, some of which had a more than questionable aftertaste. I stopped eating for fear of being sick.

The general tao was really weird, the pineapple chicken was even weirder, generally I dont like to criticize restaurants negatively but this one was really not good. I gave 2 stars, one for the eggrolls and the other for the cat meat in the soup, it was the strong point of the snack

Last visit the food wasnt good

December 22, 2023

Very disappointed, yet a must before the pandemic. Now that s a big NO. Chicken so tough that its inedible, chow mein undercooked, disgusting spring rolls full of fat. I dont recommend it to anyone.

For those coming from outside, please note that since the pandemic it is no longer possible to eat on site, it is a bring-in menu only and it is quicker if you call ahead. I found the Won Ton soup tastier than before, the meal is good but yes the pineapple chicken is tough and the garlic chops some pieces are very fatty or chunky. But it eats very well, even reheated.

December 22, 2023

Bland atmosphere, It is only open for take-out orders, dining room closed, mediocre food not too fresh, very ordinary service its as if she was waiting for a tip basket of powers insisting that the customers give her $5.00 really disappointed, if you have a slight urge to go to the toilet, forgot it says that the toilet is broken

Local Guide
December 22, 2023

The food is very very disappointing, the dumplings with the peanut sauce almost burn, beef broccoli hot water broth? , the dirty shrimp in the chow mein. Honestly, I dont recommend this really sad restaurant at all.

December 22, 2023

The buffet was cool before!! They took that away and it made it very ordinary!! She realized that it was more pay-as-you-go and perhaps without employees!! Anyway she is scrapping the name!! Buffet like before you go to sleep!!! Its urgent!!

The rice tastes like cleaning products on occasion, I hope that a real Chinese restaurant will open in Lanaudière one day, one that is worthy of the name of mediocre service :(

December 22, 2022

before it was cool but now its all heating up and its not edible!

A number 2 for one person at $20. I didn t miss any and it was really good the wait time was reasonable and there is plenty of room in the parking lot. I just wish there was something in the rice, like little pieces of shallot.

★★★
December 22, 2022

Chicken too dry and overcooked. The rest was okay.

December 22, 2022

Wow! What happened with you? I think there is a lack of labor because I rarely eat something so bad that came from my favorite restaurant! I never want to call again!! A big zero!

★★★★★
December 22, 2022

December 22, 2022

Since we have been customers at this restaurant, I have never been so disappointed. Everything was really not good rice, chicken inedible, everything difficult to chew, egg rolls re reheated even the sauces were different, cant wait to retire Mr. the owner that this restaurant is closing permanently we are going to put our money elsewhere.

I ordered delivery of a number two for two with wonton soup in 30 minutes it was delivered ! The soup: the balls are thick, little garnish and the broth where was it?? No shallot #2: I had something replaced in my order it cost me $4 overall everything was good and the quantities correct but the pineapple balls are not edible the meat is very hard and difficult to eat very unpleasant tempered in the softened cherry sauce, to see again because very disgusting

December 22, 2022

Really disappointed. I used to pick these up often before the pandemic and would have given 4 stars at that time but now its less than ordinary, its disappointing. Only the rice and spareribs havent changed and the egg rolls are like the ones I buy frozen at the grocery store. And rather than chicken chow mein, we had a vegetarian chop suey (without meat).

The lady told me that there was no problem she was going to undo the order, I went back there for dinner and still smiling the waitress don I unfortunately do not have the name replaced me and she and her teammate gave me Very fast and efficient service, I take my hat off to them, very good experience...

$13.50 plus tax plus tip for 10 small shrimp with a mountain of onions, 4-5 cubes of carrots, NO RICE (!?) .in my opinion thats not what sechuan shrimp is. Plus I took this because I found the rest too expensive...never again.
