440 Niagara St, Welland, ON L3C 1L5, Canada
Unassuming strip-mall standby offering familiar Chinese dishes & all-you-can-eat specials.
Since they no longer have dine in we haven't ordered from them dine in was what we liked.
Not a fan of the changes to the chicken wings. Stick with the house fried rice and egg rolls, they're still winners. They need to bring back the old recipe of the chicken wings. I also wish that they had those dried spare ribs but they don't
Always hot & fresh. The dinner specials include won ton soup.!! Best value as the portions are generous. Plenty of leftovers. I miss the dining room, but continue to support this lovely family business.
I can't really rate the atmosphere since it's only take out now. I wish they went back to being an actual buffet. 😕 The chicken rice soup is actually so good. It has peas, green beans and carrots in it. Won ton soup is amazing as well. They are so sweet when I go in with my kid to pick up, and almost always offer her some kind of candy that she likes and she's a picky eater.
This restaurant tried to scam me! I ordered general Tao chicken and they gave me balled up flour and tried to convince me it was chicken! They are trying to reduce cost by add balled up flour and frying it to make it crunchy so you’ll think it’s chicken!!! The lady was very disrespectful and it was obvious she was shocked that I noticed the difference so quickly. Do not support this business!!
Ordered through Uber eats. Delivery food was well packaged. Great portions and containers were nice and full. Lots of leftovers :)
The food is by far the best I've had in the area so far. I would love to see this place renovated, it's a bit outdated and gloomy in there. I couldn't enjoy the great food dining in, always take out for me. The fishtank in the front needed to be drained out and new water added, it's th first thing you see as you walk in, and is a total turn off! Again, like I said - the food is always delish. I would love to see them offer catering trays!
The food wasn't bad. I was a bit suprised by the price. It's advertised as $12.99 a person, but two of us (only drank water) were charged over $40. Not sure how that's possible.
Needs to bring back the buffet. The COVID hysteria is over.
Good food. Good value.
The food is great except the General Tao is not even close to general Tao. Ordered twice and thought first time was mistake second time got the same lemon pepper chicken instead of my favorite general Tao. Kimonos please read this and fix it.
We really enjoyed our takeout meal from Kimonos Chines Restaurant in Welland! Their chicken is especially good! We enjoyed the General Tao, chicken Lo Mein, two kinds of wontons (crispy & cheese) and chicken fried rice. Its all take out - the price was very modest for what we got. As far as I am concerned its the best Chinese food in Welland and I can hardly wait to go there again and try the rest of the menu. Free delivery too if you order over $65. Someone posted a review complaining there wasnt any chicken in their General Tao - that certainly wasnt our experience - they should have contacted the restaurant because I am sure they would have made it right. Why post such a negative review? I would highly recommend the Kimono Restaurant!
chow mein - soft noodles? drowning in some chicken broth? its just salty, smooshy mess. tastes as bad as it looks. this is terrible HG ribs - really tough n dry, drowning it in honey garlic sauce is not gonna save it
Currently going through some very uncomfortable food poisoning that clearly came from the beef and broccoli from this place...
Order through skip the dishes. Chicken was so dry couldn t bite through it. They forgot part of my order, meat was COVERED in black pepper. Only good thing was the fried rice and fortune cookies
Called for dine in reservation but only allowed take out or delivery so I ordered take out from a very nice & helpful Chinese woman (maybe the owner?h) Food was ready on time & piping hot & delicious, got free chicken wings on a large order YAY!!! This place is a hidden gem (JADE) & it s so very reasonably priced & great choices available too. Will order from here again for sure
Such a great wonton soup perfect amount , perfect price, love the Beef lo mein, chicken balls, their rice is classic. Love this place, only good place in Welland and the best we ve found in niagra reigion.
I dont normally write reviews, but this time, I will write one, I ordered food through Uber eats, and I got everything on time, but the quality of the food was really disappointing, meaning I order general Tao chicken it wasnt like any other one I have tried, it tasted like it was pre heat from being frozen, I ordered chicken wings, it was dry with some flavor that I didnt like so much, I ordered fried shrimp with bell peppers for this one they add too much peppers and too little shrimp, plus I didnt like it one bit, I ordered fried rice with pork and spring rolls well this last two things were ok, well in the end I been with indigestible since yesterday night because this food, I would never order again from that restaurant. Sorry for the bad review, but this is my experience with this place.
Its very flavourful, yummy and cooked with precision. ( vegetables were not overcooked) .. very cheap with big/large servings
Ordered Shanghai Noodles, General Tao Chicken and Kimonos Fried Rice. Was delivered through Skip the Dishes. Everything was hot and delicious, with enough to last a few meals.
Noodles ok , but rice burned on old oil and not eatable. Much worse than it used to taste.
cheap and plentiful..
Every time my wife and I order pick up the food is always delicious. Super friendly Staff as well. Always recommend to people
Food was better than expected. They give you a decent portion. Not much to say about the atmosphere as it s a takeout place. Price was cheaper than others in the area. The lady taking the order was pleasant. I d definitely go here again if in the area.
The food was hot at least. But the food wasnt that great . Veggies were mushy and overly cooked .
Ordered general Zoa chicken just for it not to be chicken it s a scam . No Chicken just floor wow I think I could sue right for misrepresentation
Food was disgusting . The Cantonese chow mein broke apart into mush because there was too much sauce . The lemon chicken was not chicken but just batter and slime. Would not recommend at all
If I could give 0 stars I would. Waited for two hours and didn t even get food, they hadn t even started mine or many other peoples order. Horrible service.
Liked the food, did not like to see those Big Fish in that Little Aquarium, they did not have enough room to turn around. aquarium, they did not have enough room to even turn around.
Worst Chinese food weve ever had. Couldnt even eat it, thru it all out $50 worth. Dont order from here!
Good quality American-Chinese food with quick delivery
Excellent food, super large portions, + gave 10% discount. Well be back!
Legit best beef and broccoli I have had in so long!! So flavourful and perfectly cooked. Sweet and sour soup great too!!
maggots in food
Recently moved to Welland and was planning on checking out this place. Just read a review on Facebook from someone who found a maggot in their food. Absolutely will not go near this place now. Very disgusting. I hope the Niagara board of health pay them a visit. Its 2022 - social media can completely ruin your business. Yall should consider that next time when you fight with your customer over YOUR error.
We ordered through Skip and Im glad we did! Our food was fresh,hot and delicious . Best beef and broccoli ever
Their food and service is nothing short of amazing! the Kimono fried rice is my recommendation. It s always freshly served, hot and the mixture of savoury flows will give your taste buds an orgasm!!
My family has ordered from this place many times before. 80% of the time the food has been great. The last two times we had problems with their fried rice; it was crispy, literal black specks of whatever was burnt in their wok. We didnt complain that time as the rest of the meal was fine. The next time we ordered, all of the rice and noodles tasted like it was drowned in salt, not to mention that their soup was just soggy rice; hence no soup at all. perhaps next time separate the broth and rice? 1/4 of their fried shrimp tasted like it was heated multiple times due to the fact the shrimp was hard and inedible. My wife called to let them know that the whole order was a disaster and the man who owns the restaurant reasons behind it was they were busy that night but to come in any time and theyd make a fresh batch. Well that time came and my wife dealt with a woman who straight up told her that if she didnt want it salty then to not ask for salt. That was not the issue when everything prepared was salty that drinking water doesnt help. The woman also told my wife that there must be something wrong with her taste buds and that over the past 20 years there has never been a complaint. Are you kidding? The audacity to argue when you have less than 5 stars? Now tell me you havent had any complaints. Dont talk to customers in a degrading way and expect not to get a review like this. Horrible service; just apologize and move on, whats the point in arguing with someone whos ordered plenty of times from your restaurant? Dont waste your time here. Go to Mandarin if you want fresh and quality food and better service.
Used to order from here monthly practically but they sent me an egg roll that tasted of rot and it didnt stay in me more than half a second be fore warned of this place its went very downhill in quality. UPDATE twice now ive been given rotten food no longer going to order here tired of throwing up after eating, im trying to fill my stomach not empty it further.
I ordered a couple months ago after moving to the area and the majority of the meal was great, but the chicken soo guy was very dry and crusty. Hoping it was a one off and wanting to give them another chance I ordered again tonight. As it s New Years Eve I imagined they would be busy and placed a time called this morning to be delivered around 4:30. When the order arrived not only was the soo guy dried out again, but it had no gravy, the pineapple chicken was actually chicken balls with canned pineapple in the sweet and sour sauce, and they didn t bother to send any chicken fried rice. When I tried to call to request the rest of my order no one answered. I submitted a complaint through Uber eats and received a partial refund as the restaurant is suspiciously unavailable but I would really like the rest of my dinner. I really wanted to like this place as they re one of the only places I ve seen that includes wonton soup in their family combos, but after tonight I won t be back.
Amazing! Hamds down the best we have had ever!
We ordered from here and it was delicious and reasonably priced, thank you very much.
Almost no beef in the beef and broccoli, the chicken was more batter than chicken. Wont be giving it another shot.
The food is delicious, the portions are huge, the prices are great! My new go to for Chinese!
They are really good! Nice genuine people very kind. Very delicious food with generous portions.
First time ordering here, sent my man in to pickup the food. He said the service was great! The food was amazing, and in very large portions. Everything was cooked wonderfully, and was delicious. Would cost a lot to eat here often, but as an occasional treat, a treat is exactly what this place is. Overall a great place. 5/5.
Very good food ,quick service price is very reasonable
Weird place when I was there. Stone cold atmosphere, food, and cleanliness. I cant imagine HOW theyre still open. Im so sorry Kimonos! but I must warn others. It was insanely disgusting food.
AMAZING food and such fast service!!!! We moved to welland from st Catherines 1 year ago and were skeptical about trying a new Chinese food place since we were used to going to mandarin. But once we tried this place we knew it would be our new favourite spot!!! The food was amazing and for a reasonable price as Chinese food tends to be expensive! The food was so fresh and the delivery is always so fast!!! Hands down best Chinese in town!
This is one of my favorite Chinese place. Staff are amazing food is always 100% full flavor.. Just amazing.
Kimonos Saves New Years Eve! Good Food and Good Neighbours. I ordered through a food delivery service which failed spectacularly and refused to deliver the food or refund my money. They did claim the driver returned it to the restaurant, but when I went to pick it up it wasnt there. Kimonos kindly took pity on me made it right even though it was 100% not their fault. Ive been going to Kimonos since they opened many years ago, Ive always enjoyed the food there. But I was nearly in tears last night because of their kindness. Thank You Kimonos and Happy New Year!
Love the food!! Clean. Friendly atmosphere.
It was amazing nothing change much so that is amazing
Everything tastes just right, and the staff is very friendly
I hear great things
Good food and clean
The food tasted as if it was cooked 10 years ago when I was last there.
Good
the food is not as good as I used to be
Great food
I Always find it a hit it miss with certain good items. I will say though that sometimes it is the customer service that will have you coming back. The women who works here with the young kids is an absaloutely amazing women. She is so kind and nice. She seen me trying to wipe my kids face and she came and gave me some baby wipes. She also went above and beyond our entire dinner. I always love a great dinner experience with my family and that is exactly what we got. Thanks again.
Lots to choose from.
Their food was awesome. Buffet had a lot to choose from. Staff, really friendly. Quiet environment with kids play corner. Perfect for family eat out
Lovely people.
We ordered through skip the dishes for dinner last night and are certainly regretting it today. My partner and I have been taking times in the toilet and have had the worst stomach pains and headache. The food seemed okay when we ate it but now Im not so sure considering everything thats unfolding. We will not be ordering here again.
Ordered from skip the dishes.. absolutely awful and I m so beyond disgusted. Ordered shrimp, didn t notice anything last night but this morning when I go to eat my left overs, I found MOLD in the shrimp. Absolutely repulsed. Will never order from here.
Food its ok. No like markham or chinatown. In Toronto. But good service and friendly staff
Great Chinese style food and large portions for takeout. A consistent favorite for my family.
Fast and delicious and friendly staff!
We have always Oder from this restaurant and today was the last time! Hard to believe that the holiday my husband and I went into the establishment to place an order that came to 47.71 and waited approx 10 min for it and drive home. Now we don t even live 5 min away, only to get home and realize one of the 6 dishes we had order was wrong that s fine we had wanted Plai. fried rice ( which we had asked if they had and the women said yes) only to get home and it was vegetable Fried rice. Let s look pass that cause we did. Now all sauces were ICE cold ok we can heat them up in the microwave - again looking pass these things! Now let s get to the 5 other dishes all not hot, not even warm Cold!!! Really??? Almost 50 bucks and we are going to eat cold food??? Call them women doesn t say a thing, sorry please come back nothing!!!! I decided to pack everything up and drive it back!!! Why do I want all this food?? Took it back and got not even a sorry!!!! Total B.S. not going to order from this place again! And every site I can post I will
Have to cook new staff
Worst Chinese food Ive ever had. The meat all had small bone fragments in it. Not a single clean soup bowl. Spend the extra money and go to the Mandarin.
Fantastic food not a bad price
The worst buffet I ever had! Food quality is the worst thing! We went to dinner which is $16.99 there was a little food at 6:30pm in the trays and they did not bring more! People try to eat but not enough food! We are for sure not going back anymore!
A lot of trays were missing food, what was there was cold and under cooked. Food and sauce had almost no taste to it or a burnt taste. I remember this place being Good, not sure what happened but will not be back at 17.99 per person when fast food would taste better and be cheaper.
Best restaurant in Welland. Delicious food at affordable price!
Great buffet. Great prices
Friendly new owners, food is fresh and tastes good
Good food good price goes atmosphere
Friendly staff... food was ok
Very good....
Food was cooked poorly. Experience was overall terrible
A larger selection would be great but what there is , is quality product . They make use of their limited space well ans the food is great
Best Chinese Buffet in Welland
Let s go. It s so delicious. It tastes bad again. It s so delicious. It s so delicious.
This is the last order that I will make in this restaurant..aweful..aweful..aweful
Good place to go for inexpensive buffet Chinese style food.
At wellands best buffet, the price is affordable, the food is diverse, ice cream is not available to buy in other places, there are many desserts, especially the salad, very delicious, fresh and clean every day
Ordered for take out never again chow mein noodles not cooked hard as rock, chicken balls were like rubber ,cold wonton soup with stale noodles never ever will I order again .62.00 in the garbage
Great food and great hostess
Had a great night there with family. Lots of selections and the food was great.
Food was passable but cleaning tables was very slow and staff could not understand english well. Will not eat there again.
Was good.
I wish I knew before going that they only had two buffet tables for their food, no fruit for dessert, no good selection of salads or ice cream. My girlfriend and I had two plates of food that we barely even touched because it didn t taste good at all. $40 for two people is a good price but not at this restaurant. Very disappointing. Knew I should have went to the Mandarin instead. By the way, those poor three huge fish in one tiny tank..
Staff doesnt even ask you for a drink of pop or anything. Pretty lucky if they come around and give you 1 cup of water. Also buffet is slowly stocked and they should be ontop of it.
The price is reasonable, good food
This used to be my go to place in Welland. It seems its switched owners recently though. Nothing was fresh, my kid literally ate one chicken ball and wouldnt touch anything else, I barely ate... The rice tasted off and by the time we got home (about 2 kms) I was throwing up and my kid had horrible stomach cramps. It was $60 for 3 people and I never got my drink but was charged. We wont be back.
Huge selection of food, great prices and staff. From what I ve seen every complaint on here has been addressed. Will come back!
Mediocre at best, overly salted
Has been a nice lunch... Service was friendly...
Went for Mothers Day and had a good experience. Food was good and portions were large, staff were super friendly as well.
Just had take out delivered. It was white rice is a soup of water.
We enjoy the people , the price. Very friendly. Not a big selection but enough
Terrible now since the change in ownership. Food is barely warm. Staff looks like you are inconveniencing them by being there. I am not sure what they are using in the food now (msg?) But the after math is awful!
Its a great place. Its just that I dont have to go home and cook. There are so many different kinds of food here that I cant finish them. Im already full.
Good food, good price.
Food is bland and dried out
There are many kinds of food that can be eaten in small towns.
The menu is wrong chow mein is a fried noodles with proteins and vegetables wontons have a filling but they insist that they are right .... Just Google what chow mein and lo mein are and what a wonton is youll see this restaurant is full of bs never order from here unless you just want dried out chicken balls and chop Suey thats supposed to be chow mein
Good food
Great food, great hostess, my kids and I like to lick here [strong][strong][strong] Great food, great hostess, the kids and I love it here [ ].
Food gross i never had bad food there but tonight gross tasted like lits ben reheated 5 times
Very good and very nice waitress
Decent looking place, chicken was tough, not a lot of a selection for desert. Decent price.
Not the same since original owner sold it
Not impressed with this place.
I went Im actually still here and my son found a spider in his food and they are doing nothing about it just told him to go back up... Also the noodles I get all the time are hard and its just disgusting.... But still good food
Great food n great prices
The food was spectacularly average with very friendly staff.
Just went for the first time since the new owners took over. Food was very good and plenty of selection. About the same as before. Nice new paint job and very clean and bright inside. We will definitely go back a couple of times a month from now on.
Good place. If you go for lunch its $12.99 and dinner is $16.99. I havent gone to dinner yet so I dont know if there is different options. For lunch its a great price.. it has all the basics, soups, salads, noodles, meats and desserts. It no mandarin but its good for quick Chinese
Great lunch buffet. This was my first time but my aunts and father were here in numerous occasions when they visited my aunt in Welland.
ALWAYS VERY FRIENDLY SERVICE AND GREAT FOOD WASHROOM NEEDS TO BE UPDATED BUT THEY TRY TO KEEP IT CLEAN
Under new ownership but still good buffet
Foods awful but best toothpick around
Good
New owners very friendly
Food was ok and service was ok as well.
Food was decent. More of a selection than I expected for welland. The service was great!
The food selection is better than most buffets, the prices are reasonable and the owners are extremely welcoming.
Good food, busy place
I like this place, mainly because the owner is so enthusiastic and friendly. He is always wearing a suit and tie and greets us personally every visit. Food is fine...good selection.
I have been there several times - regular hang out. The food is reasonably priced. Good choices, simple and tastes very good. Owners are there all the time serving and talking to customers.
First time there, decent food, good prices and a great atmosphere.
food was satisfactory. friendly staff. there needs to be a more variety of foods if this restaurant is increasing the price which they already did. im not too happy about the wonton soup. it tasted really bad and some of the food items in the dessert section was stale and didnt taste that great either. there werent enough food choices for dessert but overall, the rest of the other foods tastes good. its not excellent food quality like the Mandarin Buffet but this restaurant is just satisfactory food quality. sorry. i just had to be honest
My sister in law and I bring my neice and nephew here a couple of times a month, its our favorite restaurant in the city. The food is good, but its the people who run it that keep us coming back. Theyre always friendly and sweet and they talk to the kids and make them laugh. They just go that extra mile to make you smile :)
Rude service and not the freshest chineese buffet
Cold food
Very nice and clean place all kinds of food for the money
Best Chinese Buffet in the Niagara Region. Owners are awesome, hardworking, friendly people. :)
Always like going here. Ever since I was a kid
New owners. The food was dry. The containers were empty and i noticed that the new owner worked at the one in dunnville. It sucked. I used to love it. I will never go back
good food but you may get sick.
This has to be the oldest buffet in the region, that being said the food really shows its age. Nothing is flavourful, its warm not hot, and its old, like its been sitting out old. Please dont waste your time or money
New owners and the food is not the same. Very dry and not very tasty. Will not be back. The previous owners were the best and the food was a lot better.
The saying you pay for what you get really applys here! Awful service, awful food, stale and tasted like it was made a day ago.
Love this restaurant great place to eat
Over 20 years in business and have a great buffet!
Been here a few times when visiting family. This is average chinese Canadian food!
Got take out. Selection is awfulI and dry it s all chicken dishes . Overpriced!
Very good food and service!
Great food and service
Food was comparable to previous owners..food was fresh and hot
Very unhappy with the food; chicken balls, potatoes, pretty much everything was cold and hard I chipped a tooth trying to eat my potatoes... my fiance watched the one lady bring out a tray of fried rice and it had ice on it and she tried mixing it in... not at all worth nearly 40$ didnt even get an actual drink because it cost to much very displeased with this place, health board should be checking on them
Most trays were empty and other food colded.... was never asked if we wanted something to drink
Great food and good service
Friendly people, good food, casual dining, buffet style dining only.
Awesome BUFFET
Awesome lunch :) food was fresh and the lady that served us was extremely friendly! We Will definitely be back :)
The staff are very nice. The food is good. The place looks like it needs some work. Food variety is limited as well.
