Worst place ever. Asked for manager and he is a cook so he will not come out to hear a complaint. Worst service in my life. Will never never never go back and I will spread the word that your business doesn't care!!!!!!!!!!!

Good Chinese food quick

Allen Ballach

This is absolutely the worst Asian food I have ever tried , Threw my entire $65 order in the garbage. They have trouble even making simple Jardoo Wings. There is absolutely nothing Asian about the food from this place.

Patrick Faucher

I like coming here with the kids. The food is good. Could use a few more options with veggies

Paul Webber

Had this last week for first time. General Tao had real nice flavour but just a tad too spicy and would have been almost perfect if they used chicken ball chicken. To me total white meat is need for this dish. Beef n Broccoli was very good and rice good too.

Joy Watson

Great food, good selection and fair prices! Buffet seems small but is actually great and has all of my favourites! The only place I go for Chinese in Trenton!

Stephanie Osmond

Fantastic service and delicious food! I would recommend this restaurant to anyone! The buffett is wonderful and is always full and fresh!

James Lyon

Good was excellent and service great. Bathrooms need cleaning more often. Would have been 5 stars if they were cleaner.

Danielle Clark

It's a great place to eat at one of the oldest Cantonese restaurants in town in fact the only one I believe .... Pre pandemic that have / had a fantastic buffet , oh and the service has always been top notch

Andrew Evinou

Not impressed all the food is cold and I do mean all the food , the so called chicken fried rice is the nastiest I’ve ever ate if u like paying top dollar for a non refrigerated soda I’d highly recommend order one lol

Michael Muir

Great service and great food. Love this place so much! It's my favorite part of coming home to visit!

Andrew Foster

Not a bad place to eat at. Atmosphere is nice, and food is decent. Pricing was pretty good (I think my dinner buffet ended up only costing me around $11.50, $14ish with my drink). As far as buffets go, if you are looking fornone in the trenton area, Id recommend trying here. Only complaint really is service was a little slow at times when they werent very busy yet

Christopher Labrador

If you order 1 takeout entrée, you get 1 complimentary side of steamed rice. If you order 4 takeout entrées, you only get 1 complimentary side of steamed rice. Told "that's just the way it is."

Jill Steenburg

Reasonably priced and huge selection when there is anything in them. Lots of empty bins last 3 times I was there. Most dishes very tasty when you can get any.

Wasn't terrible, wasn't great. Small compact buffet with standard Chinese buffet fare, however I found almost everything, including the desserts, rather bland, almost as if key seasonings weren't there. Dingy exterior - both myself and another person outside weren't even sure if it was open or out of business until we looked inside and saw customers. Price was right at $7.75 for lunch so it did fill me up.

Chris Frei

Food was good prior to the pandemic but the meal I brought home was horrendous. Honey garlics spare ribs were burnt severely, chicken balls and lemon chicken was so over cooked it was difficult to eat. Egg rolls were excellent. For a 50 dollar meal I feel I was robbed of the enjoyment of my first Chinese food dinner in months. I will not be returning to this restaurant.

Kevin Masterson

Good hot food had it for take out. Been going here for 7 yrs and not one problem.

Mike Vajda

We arrived 1:15pm on December 31/18. We were greeted quickly and asked if we would like drinks right away. My wife and I went to the buffet that had a lot to choose from. We filled our plates with several of the dishes and return to our table. This is were it went down hill and quickly. The food was cold, stale, greasy, hard, and I could go on. My wife went to put her fork into the chicken balls it almost shot off her plate! We are not the kind of people that are hard to please or have great expectation for low prices. I actually have never left a bad google report about a restaurant, but after the total no care attitude of this I decided to. They knew the food was not good because they didn't even ask how our food was when we went to pay. We were only in the place maybe 7 minutes before we left our full plates. When I paid the bill I decided to tell them how horrible the food was, and all I got was sorry about that. Never again.

Rebecca Kilpatrick

It's typical Canadian Chinese buffet with your favourites as well as a few extras, like lemon chicken or sesame chicken. It's good and definitely economical.

Audry Spratt

We are new to the area and thought we would try this place.......mistake!!! Small portions for the price, ingredients are not fresh, food lacks flavor. Will not be going back !!

Sara Kerr

Amazing food. Best won ton soup. Everything is tasty. Staff are friendly.

Julie Sweeney

The food we ordered was delicious!!

Donna Kelly

Loved it. The waitress remembered that we always have green tea. Food was great and fresh.. A great experience.

Anita Pellerin

Best Chinese Food in Trenton!! Great service and prices!! Awesome take-out menu too!! Great for a large gathering because they are able to accommodate a group over 20 people! This is our go-to restaurant for moat celebrations whether it's eat-in or take-out! I highly recommend eating here!

Sherry Veltman

Delicious Chinese food. Always hot and fresh. This place could use more wait staff there only ever seems to have one server on at a time and they seem to be rushed.

Caleb Johnston

Small variety, but you get everything your looking for in a buffet. Good place for a quick lunch.

Zach Reid

In my opinion the best Chinese buffet in Trenton. They have a large selection and the food is always fresh. One of my preferred places when we have company visiting or large crowds that want to go out to eat

Sommer DJ

No, no, nope, uhuh... no. The service here was fantastic, for that and that only I give 1 star.... besides that..... the drinks were high on syrup low on soda... the food was soggy and sat too long... the flavours were bland. The store is rather large, yet they didn't have many selection aisles, not many choices at all and the ones they do have are the cheaper menu selections. No sauce on the side for most item so crispy items are now mushy items.... should have listened when I was told it wasn't Belleville's finest. Won't be going back.

Alexander Wilson

The place is one of the best lunch spots in Trenton. The food is normally hot and they have a great selection of American, American Chinese and dessert foods. There chicken wings are cooked well and the servers always keep your glass full. My only problem is the price keeps increasing. When I started going is was $7.50 now it is $12.25 but that is not to bad considering I usually don't eat supper on the day's I go.

Emily LeBlanc

Went in with my boyfriend and each food selection only had enough for 1 portion, was not offered a drink. Go to an all you can eat restaurant, pay $22 and leave just as hungry as when you arrive? Pathetic. Awful service

Heidi Sweet

Great food

SA Zapman

Love the all you can eat option. It's affordable. Wife and I eat lunch there and we're full for the rest of the day. I like the taste of the meals, a little greasy but good.

Cazilicious13

They have a great variety of different items in their buffet. Food has always been hot when we go. Very nice staff. Great job everyone

Richard Hutchinson

This was our favourite Chinese restaurant for a very long time until last year. Now the food is terrible. My wife and I will not be going there again.

Jennifer Rutledge

Have been going for years, fast service and good, hot, flavorful food!

H Cc

Absolutely the worse experience I’ve ever had at the Trenton location. I’m disgusted how terrible they treat their customers! I was told 30 mins to come back for my food and guess what I ended up waiting 1 hour and 15 mins for 1 single combo platter!! I was really upset and didn’t even offer me a discount or apologize. Also to top it all off my food was cold and mushy!!!!!! Never again!! I hope you guys go out of business you guys are the worst Chinese restaurant in Ontario it’s pretty sad when my animals won’t even eat the food...

Susan Auld

Sadly, I was expecting better. We went in fairly early (just before 6) on a Friday evening recently and were quite disappointed by the buffet selection, or lack thereof. Most of the dishes were almost empty and next to nothing had been replenished when we went up to see what we might want for seconds so I can't say that it was very good value for the buffet price. I tried what turned out to be a disgustingly green & slimy on the inside egg roll, the rice and noodles were quite dried out and there was next to no beef in the beef & veg dish. Sorry to say that we are highly unlikely to return here.

Eric McStravick

The variety is limited, but the food is pretty good. Usually tasty (exceptions are rare.) It's a good value for the price.

On a busy Saturday night They do not refill leaving food sitting for hours. Saw customers go up to serve themselves and dishes had maybe five or six ribs, four onion rings, one spoon full of sweet sour chicken one spoon full, meat dishes not refilled when almost empty in the two hours there. The bean sprouts and rice only thing refilled. It seemed they were trying to save money by using up all the old food prior to closing. We arrived at 5pm and most Chinese buffets are always refilling, not this one. The rice was tasteless, the meat dishes did not taste right, our whole group felt sick later. Overheard woman telling and showing waitress that big hair in in her elderly Fathers food, no one came to their table to address and obvious not his, as he was bald. When they were leaving they told us about hair and how they were charged full price. After they brought it up to other staff only 10% was removed. Usually you would see manager speak to customer but no one came. Bathrooms filthy, feces on floor, dirty in restaurant, would never return. Unless you want food poisoning and stale leftover food would never recommend. Only good thing, waitresses polite but seemed embarrassed about conditions for customers.

Mhisty Robinson

Use to love going to this restaurant but just wasted over $45 on disgusting food. They shoved it all into the container covered the chicken balls in sauce more breading then chicken made the food very soggy. Chow Mein had full cloves of uncooked garlic.

Blue Bugayong

Great tasting foods! Wish they could switch up the variety at least 3 times a week. Service is good.

Dan Serson

good food best on busy nights on slow nights they leave the food a little long befor refreshing

Sandra McLean

Food was good, buffet was decent. A lot of the dishes were empty but getting refilled as we were there. A couple things were a little overcooked, and chicken balls were 90% batter.

Denis Dodge

Good food

Pamela Warren

Excellent food and service too. Best I've had in years. Literally.

Deborah Viau

We got delivery 2 weeks ago and I have to say the food has gone down hill. Our rice had no taste to it, the chicken balls were dry and hard and the pork slices were dry. We use to love this place needless to say we won't be eating from here again. Very disappointed

Cary Lauzon

Great food great little atmosphere. Great selection of food and prices are decent.

Cody Morgan

Went a few weeks ago food wasn't even ready was an hour after buffet opened food was greasy and not worth the price

Callum Winsor

While the selection on offer is great, you'll be lucky to get a few of the items as all 3 times we have been here they have been out of at least 2 for the entirety of our meal. The staff are abrupt and unfriendly and if you need beverages, don't bother waiting for them, just go up to the counter to order them. This is on top of an atmosphere that is mediocre at best. The furniture is all very worn down and uncomfortable. I am confident the chair I sat on was older than I am. It was torn and wobbly. The only reason it gets 3 stars is because the food for take out is fantastic. Except the chicken balls which are more bread than chicken.

Charles Patrick

We've been going to this restaurant since before the kids were born. It's always fresh and I always tasty. Best deal in the Chinese buffet business anywhere.

George D'Alimonte

First time customer, ordered 4 of single dinners. Excellent take out food. Not greasy and great taste plenty of food for one person.

Deb Pye

They buffet is amazing. The food is always fresh. The only thing I found disappointing is the cutlery needs to be wiped off and there dishes weren't the cleanest.

Nicky Steacy

I'm pretty picky with my chinese food - I tried it for the first time, id definitely order here again !

Daniel Dufoe

We used to love this place. Unfortunately the quality has really gone down hill. People, whom I assume were staff walked around the restaurant, no uniform or even a name tag. Food was not tastey. Really had a bad experience.

tammy flieler

Very well priced. Food was exceptional. A lot of choices and desserts are plentiful Not just ice cream here.

Brittany Canning

Saw on the menu that offer chow mein (bean sprouts). I got excited because I love chow mein and bean sprouts. So I ordered the shrimp chow mein thinking it was chow mein with a side of bean sprout. I was very disappointed to find out that they're referring to the bean sprouts themselves as chow mein. Even though they are two completely different things. So I ended up with a plate full of bean sprout and 7 small shrimp. Will NEVER order from hear again because clearly you don't know what you're getting. If you're serving a plate full of bean sprouts, don't label it chow mein (bean sprouts), just put bean sprouts. Update: My husband ordered the dinner for one and couldn't finish it because he didn't like it. Couldn't even eat the egg roll and he loves egg rolls.

steven walsh

I order my food and got it home they gave me 2 orders of children balls and for the shimp I got 2 and the rest was vegetables 12 dollars 2 shrimp and the portions very small and to saltiy its all bagged up so u don't know till u get home never going there again

madonna thurston

Love eating here. Food is always good. Good selection.

Taylor McHugh

My husband and I love this place. Their beef noodle is my FAVOURITE dish and to die for. Great food, it's never been old or stale, always freshly replenished. We love going for lunch!

Glenn Mann

Tara Lenart Down

Food is bland and has no flavor. Hardly any meat not worth the price.

Tracey Loveless

Good food..good service...decent prices

ryan eldridge

only red flag was no kitchen staff wearing masks threw out food ????????

James Scalf

The food was good and plentiful. They did however mix up our order... I asked for a double order of their fried chicken wings and instead wound up with 1 order of wings and one order of chicken balls. Didn't realize it until we got home however and we live an hour away so did not go back. Overall we were quite happy with this restaurant.

Jessica Rutter

Spare ribs were dry and tough, chicken balls were soggy inside and the vermicelli was bad. My son was in the bathroom all night because of it and I'm feeling sick to my stomach today. We will never eat there again!!

Natalia A
