Asian Buffet

I did not like this place. Considering the location, I’m not shocked that it sucked. They do have a lot of food to choose from, but the quality is pretty bad. I liked the lemon chicken, breaded shrimp and spring rolls. The waffles and other desserts are good. The won ton soup sucked. They didn’t even add any of the vegetables in the soup that everywhere else does. My friend had the hot and sour soup and she didn’t like it. The vegetables, chicken curry, noodles and rice are not quite as good as you would expect. They do have a lot of mixed drinks but none of us ordered any drinks. This places charges too much money for low quality food. I will not return here and I do not recommend that you visit.

No kidding, the only reason we came here is because Rob Ford does. Some of the buffet items were not bad but most was reminiscent of the many subpar Chinese buffets we tend to see in the US. Food that’s too slowly replaced leaving dried out and stale helpings to be picked at. Given that Mandarin is 5 minutes down the road, I think my one visit to Asian Buffet will be my only one.

Cheap Chinese buffet with great value for the price. Service is good, your empty plates will be removed often and your glass of water will be kept full.
A lot of the food aren’t so great, but that’s to be expected for a buffet this cheap within the city limits. Don’t get too much of the lemon/kungpao/sweet&sour/generaltso chicken, because they’re all mostly soft fried batter. The lettuce in the salad bar was not fresh, but was not obviously old. The tapioca dessert was certainly a lot thicker than I expected. Great ice cream selection. But really, everything is as expected in a cheap Chinese buffet.
They do take credit card. Plenty of parking in the back lot. WiFi password was posted on the front door.

Service is always good here, they are friendly and attentive.
Sometimes the food is decent and fresh and sometimes it is downright nasty and old tasting.
THE REASON WHY THIS IS:
You need to understand something about this place.
They often have asian bus tours stop there for lunch /​Dinner and if you are lucky to go there on one of those days the food will be good and fresh for the price you pay.
If there is no bus tour. you are taking your chances. and will most likely not get what you are expecting.
Weekends seems to be okay, I suppose because the food turns over faster …
Maybe it is best to call ahead to see if is a Bus tour day.

The food at this buffet is not great, no quality what so ever. I know that it’s not the most expensive food and the dinner options have a good variety, but when it comes to desert options… there isn’t many. The food looks dry as if it’s been sitting awhile.

A lot of people are giving this place a very low rating and I understand why. The thing is, this place, with its very affordable price tag, isn’t supposed to be fancy. It’s meant to fill you up so much that you’ll have to pray that you dont get a sodium-​induced coma after. If you’re going to eat here without any expectations of grandeur, then its pretty great for lunch (maybe even dinner but I cant recall how their dinner serving was).
Their selections arent half bad. They have a pretty satisfying selection for the price you’re paying: baked salmon, fried rice, egg foo yung, ribs, skewers, soups, and they’re one of the few buffets that I’ve been to that has siu mai and that makes me super happy lol. They also have those killer (literally lol) breakfast links that are sooo good and greasy. It’s a guilty pleasure of mine, I admit it lol. It’s nothing different from other buffets’ lunch menus, but at the very least, you’ll be getting it for a lower price.
One thing that does irk me is how old and dingy the place looks like. But then again, for $ 10/​per person during lunch, I can overlook that and just focus on filling my stomach up.

Better value than i expected for a restaurant like this, though one did have to know what to pick, that said, its a buffet, so you can figure out what that is. I particularly liked their deep fried battered squid which was cooked well when we were there, not the rubber band material one sometimes gets. We also liked their rat-​on-​a-​stick (read chicken skewers). As a safety check, my wife set her phone to simulate various cat noises and slunk around to determine if any response would be forthcoming, nothing happened so safe there too

I really liked this place. I don’t know what people expect when they eat at places like this. You’re not getting a gourmet meal cooked by Bobby Flay; it’s a buffet, like the Mandarin, except I go home not feeling sick. Great cheap Canadian-​ized Asian food.

Asian Buffet is basically a no frills version of Mandarin. It pretty much has all the essential dishes that Mandarin carry minus the stuff most smart people know to stay away from anyways. If you go at lunch time it’s actually an even better bargain. Watch out for the servers though who refill your cup of water as soon as it reaches the half way mark so you get full and leave faster. They also charged automatic 15% gratuity which I did not appreciate. I can only assume they did that because my friend and i looked like high school students with no money or something.

Sorry guys. I know I had low expectations for the place to begin with, but it they hovered around those expectations.
Asian Buffet could not be any more generic. Just the name alone would leave you expecting disappointment. The restaurant is located on a long strip of «not much». Being a stand alone restaurant with nothing else surrounding it, this Chinese buffet draws people in with the price tag of $ 7.99 for an all you can eat Chinese buffet. The interior is dingy, but not as bad as the outside will have you believe.
The food here is rather mundane, but there were some good items to go along with the many bad items. There are 3 tables of hot food with some outside stations as well. The stations include a grill that must have been vibrant in the past but was no longer active. The soup bar is decent enough as they had a selection of 5 different soups with bread and crackers that accompany it.
Hot foods include Westernized Chinese foods like Sweet and Sour Chicken, General Tsos, Sesame Beef, Fried Rice, and Vermicelli. There are also a multitude of fried items that will leave the fat kid inside you (or outside) giddy with excitement. Fried Chicken wings, chicken balls, ribs, and noodles will make sure you die an early age.
The food isn’t actually all that bad, but temper your expectations. No one should be expecting gourmet anything here.

Asian Buffet is reminiscent of the Chinese restaurants in Chinatown along Spadina and Dundas.
Nothing fancy in décor… kitchen style tables and chairs.
If you’re looking for inexpensive Chinese lunch or dinner, this may be the place for you. It’s a step down from Mandarin quality and variety, but for $ 13 it’s nothing to turn your nose up at.

Food is awful — nothing is fresh. I am never going back to this place again.

Asian Buffet is an insult to all the other buffets out there that are constantly trying to fulfill reputation for good food. As I’ve said before Buffets make me question their quality, freshness, and overall experience. After all, you get for what you pay at Asian Buffet, so please save your money for something better. I came here years ago with a glimpse of hope that it had changed for the better. BOY! was I wrong.
Salmon overcooked, almost tasted toxic, bbq pork was so hard to chew, my cheek bones were sore after 1min of chewing.
Though the restaurant is dim, the Service is great. The cooks look like they’ve been overworked, some were on their phones, while interacting with customers, this place needs a lot of work!

It’s what you’d expect for a $ 13 buffet.
Nothing fancy or special but I found it decent enough.

The only good thing about this place is the free tap water. The food is low quality and doesn’t have much taste. The buffet is not set up to accommodate vegetarians and people that don’t eat pork. You can’t have a beef sauce dripping next beside a vegetable dish. You can’t have sausage rolls oil pouring into the beef dish. They automatically add gratituity to the bill. It’s for low class people. It’s like a country club for the patrons of rexdale.
Part 2. We’re up to 3 stars. It’s getting a little better.

Very reasonable prices, decent AYCE spread with fresh foods and a good selection. Hard to find online (likely owing to the super generic name) but it’s worth the hunt.
Steer clear of Sunday lunch though. There’s a church nearby and it seems the entire congregation heads here after the Sunday service.
