Reviews of Kimono's Chinese Buffet & takeout (Restaurant)

Sam Chambers

The food tasted as if it was cooked 10 years ago when I was last there.

Ryan Dunham

fantastic food! great service, the guy who owns the place is very kind, he let me off when i was almost a dollar short, the food is great! lots of great things to pick from, and its refilled fast! they always bring you water before you run out, the sushi rolls are so good, only 10 bucks for all you can eat lunch! best restaurant in welland,

Ashtyn Plante

Ralph Moore

Best Chinese Buffet in Welland

Marc Lapointe

Went for Mothers Day and had a good experience. Food was good and portions were large, staff were super friendly as well.

Tammy Lavigne

Under new ownership but still good buffet

Connor Todd (RunFun Casual Gaming)

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.

LORI ELLIOTT

Great food

Anthony Pasto

Over 20 years in business and have a great buffet!

Ordaldo Ravine

The food was spectacularly average with very friendly staff.

Andreas Russ

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!

Lisa Letourneau

Good large buffet. Friendly staff.

Kristopher Lowes

We have tried many chinese restaurants in town. And this one is by far the best in town.

jessica rondeau

Lovely people.

Juan Rojas

Very good....????????????

Tiena Nguyen

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. i'm not too happy about the wonton soup. it tasted really bad and some of the food items in the dessert section was stale and didn't taste that great either. there weren't enough food choices for dessert but overall, the rest of the other foods tastes good. it's not excellent food quality like the Mandarin Buffet but this restaurant is just satisfactory food quality. sorry. i just had to be honest

Tayler

Service docents food meh

Andrew Dubs

This is one of my favorite Chinese place. Staff are amazing food is always 100% full flavor.. Just amazing.

Len Spurgeon

Awesome BUFFET

Joe Vegas

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.

James Fenning (ChiefFenix)

Decent looking place, chicken was tough, not a lot of a selection for desert. Decent price.

Crystal Parker

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.

Jodi Gaudaur

Not impressed wontons made like a desert Cantonese chow main made like soup chicken balls rock hard as if they has sat for days vegetables in fried rice not cooked solid hard and cold I guess the only good thing was the egg roll cold but when reheated was decent. Price was ok for dinner for 2 40 dollars but will never return!

Darryl Sourwine

Order from here monthly practically, food is good and hot, packaged real nice too.

Christin Lague

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 I'm not so sure considering everything that's unfolding. We will not be ordering here again.

Drew young

Food gross i never had bad food there but tonight gross tasted like lits ben reheated 5 times

Details Æsops Cat

Food was great.and we didnt have to wait.

Joseph-Romuald Felix

The staff are very nice. The food is good. The place looks like it needs some work. Food variety is limited as well.

Teresa Godard

Absolutely love this restaurant. The owners are fabulous and welcoming.

Ken Carter

Good Food Very reasonable pice

Zack Leduc

Amazing! Hamds down the best we have had ever!

Chris Boyer

Great buffet, excellent service.

Blair Topa

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.

Craig Sheppard

Decent Chinese-American food.

rick harcourt

Food was comparable to previous owners..food was fresh and hot

Tyson Orgar

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.

Connor Gibson

They are some times rude and arrogant and once I was trying to ask for information the manager said he could not speak English when the next night he served my parents

Devin Lunshof

Great Chinese style food and large portions for takeout. A consistent favorite for my family.

RRDube420 Dube

Never had such poor food in my life from take out.

Ofure Akanbiemu

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

Mike Chevalier

Cold food

Almost no beef in the beef and broccoli, the chicken was more batter than chicken. Won't be giving it another shot.

ROSANNE FALVO

Every time we go we have a good time and it has great food.

Kim Handspiker

Fantastic food not a bad price

Courtney Allison

Huge selection of food, great prices and staff. From what I’ve seen every complaint on here has been addressed. Will come back!

Jeff Homan

Worst Chinese food I've 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.

Torra Morrigan

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.

Lisa Lockie

Always superb.

At welland's 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

sid dithers

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.

Friendly new owners, food is fresh and tastes good

gonzozen55

Been here a few times when visiting family. This is average chinese Canadian food!

Mildot 326

Average Chinese food

Mike Sohm

We enjoy the people , the price. Very friendly. Not a big selection but enough

Andrew Fisher (AJ)

This has to be the oldest buffet in the region, that being said the food really shows its age. Nothing is flavourful, it's warm not hot, and it's old, like it's been sitting out old. Please don't waste your time or money

Pruthwin Ranganatha

Best restaurant in Welland. Delicious food at affordable price!

Hannah Patrick

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.

James Lalonde

The food is good

Elizabeth Ireland

Love the food!! Clean. Friendly atmosphere.

TGY TV Tim Gilby

Good place to eat. The owner is super nice. Lost a star for the desert selection lacking options

Ted Rietveld

Ok chineses buffet

Big Dog

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..

Tim Eichholz

Good food

Arthur Gostick

Have been eating here for years. Never a bad meal. Been to other Chinese buffet restaurants but always end up back here.

Adam David

Good food, good price.

Order Department

Just had take out delivered. It was white rice is a soup of water.

S.C.K Reptiles Educational Centre

Rude service and not the freshest chineese buffet

dianaPar1

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!

Jessica Trapani

Awesome lunch :) food was fresh and the lady that served us was extremely friendly! We Will definitely be back :)

Brln D

Terrible and dry. Food tasted bad and had bad texture.

April Morin

It was amazing nothing change much so that is amazing

Adam Clarke

Fast and delicious and friendly staff!

cath ringor

This is the last order that I will make in this restaurant..aweful..aweful..aweful

David Carr

The food selection is better than most buffets, the prices are reasonable and the owners are extremely welcoming.

Tim Winker

Best Chinese Buffet in the Niagara Region. Owners are awesome, hardworking, friendly people. :)

Daniel Yates

Mediocre at best, overly salted

Cameron Pearson

good food but you may get sick.

Derek Bennett

Love this place. Owner is such a nice guy. Best chinese food in town.

Tom Johnson

Family owned. Offers either menu or buffet service. Good food selection, generous portions, fully licenced. Very good service. Lower price point. Located in a strip mall with Dominos Pizza, LCBO, the ScotiaBank, and Service Ontario. Lots of free parking.

Manar Al Nuaimi

Everything tastes just right, and the staff is very friendly

Jennie Menagh

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$ didn't even get an actual drink because it cost to much very displeased with this place, health board should be checking on them

sethb broughton

Jr Phillip

Amazing staff, super friendly and attentive. Large selection of food. However I wouldn't say it's the best Chinese I tasted, they need to really work on the flavour. The place needed renovation. The fish tank in the front actually turned me off seeing these huge ugly fish swimming around. It was a little pricey too.

Lyn Philbrick

Great food, excellent service, reasonable prices, very friendly and helpful owners.

Kaitlynn Madden

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.

Mario Cercone

Foods awful but best toothpick around

Kelly Berdan

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

Sandi Schellenberg

Weird place when I was there. Stone cold atmosphere, food, and cleanliness. I can't imagine HOW they're still open. I'm so sorry Kimonos!???? but I must warn others. It was insanely disgusting food.

JessieLynn l

This used to be my go to place in Welland. It seems it's switched owners recently though. Nothing was fresh, my kid literally ate one chicken ball and wouldn't 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 won't be back.

dave Ball

We ordered from here and it was delicious and reasonably priced, thank you very much.

Ken Cunningham

Good food great service if I were to say anything negative it would be that they do not change the buffet it's always the same so it gets predictable

Ron paquette

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 you'll see this restaurant is full of bs never order from here unless you just want dried out chicken balls and chop Suey that's supposed to be chow mein

Harvey3 Hardy

I celebrated my nomination earlier this evening in this gorgeous place. I am glad to say that it was a pleasant evening and the venue was certainly one of the reasons for this successful event. The waiters helped in a very nice way, the cooking was great and my guests were very cheerful. We shall no dout return for more events. thanks very much.

Cindy Cooper

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

Courtney Carthew

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.

Larry Munro

I have patronized this place for several years and in my opinion, there's nothing better for the price. The service is excellent, the food is always fresh and hot, and unless you want to go "High end" like the Mandarin your value for dollar is best spent here.

Cpukare cpukare

Food it's ok. No like markham or chinatown. In Toronto. But good service and friendly staff

zacksteele128

LOVE THIS PLACE!

Daymo

Amazing food Amazing staff Super friendly and homey establishment All around 5 out of 5 stars Thanks for making my son and I feel at home !

T S

Not the same since original owner sold it

Devin Vanderlaan

One of the larger selection of Chinese buffets. With different noodles to choose from. Like any all you can eat get there when it is busy so everything is fresh. Great price.

shiqun su

It's a great place. It's just that I don't have to go home and cook. There are so many different kinds of food here that I can't finish them. I'm already full.

Dirtbikesandmullets V

We love it here. Get a dinner for two. The owner is so nice and funny. We enjoy coming here and eating great tasty Chinese food. We made a mistake of trying bamboo instead. We barely got the meal down. Sorry kimonos. We learned our lesson.

Shaylah Wiley

AMAZING food and such fast service!!!! We moved to welland from st Catherine's 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!

Gabriel

Friendly staff, food is good, though from my experience the earlier you go into the service, the better the food and it's quite cheap

Linda Orsoli

Good selection nice owner, flimsy salad bar and place needs a reno.

Bernice Raben

What a delightful place to eat. They have their buffet tables arranged perfectly & their food is delicious. And, they keep every food container well-supplied.

Angelea Mckeen

Great food n great prices

Cory Leitch

Great food very nice employees the salad bar was not good but great selection of meat.

Melissa M

My sister in law and I bring my neice and nephew here a couple of times a month, it's our favorite restaurant in the city. The food is good, but it's the people who run it that keep us coming back. They're always friendly and sweet and they talk to the kids and make them laugh. They just go that extra mile to make you smile :)

Ron Snyder

Good food good price goes atmosphere

shaunsyd

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 ????

Louise Mclean

Great!!

Peter. J. Kore

Very nice and clean place all kinds of food for the money

Susan B

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.

Pandia Lumiere

Kimono's Saves New Year's 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 wasn't there. Kimono's kindly took pity on me made it right even though it was 100% not their fault. I've been going to Kimono's since they opened many years ago, I've always enjoyed the food there. But I was nearly in tears last night because of their kindness. Thank You Kimono's and Happy New Year!

Christopher White

the food is not as good as I used to be

Welcent Feng

Yummy foods, Great service!

Adolf Klimek

Have to cook new staff

Cathy Crisp

Good food, busy place

Catharine Stoltz

Great food and good service

Tabytha Mallett

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!

Paul Nevin

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

osiris erazo

Food was decent. More of a selection than I expected for welland. The service was great!

Amanda Bell

Owner is a very nice man and food is delicious.

Ann Turner

First time there, decent food, good prices and a great atmosphere.

Mary Danylko

Has been a nice lunch... Service was friendly...

Eric Morrison

I went I'm 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 it's just disgusting.... But still good food

Allan Gillam

Food was ok and service was ok as well.

Mike Vatcher

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.

Leonard Aulbrook

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.

A Cleary

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.

Donna Crumb

Great food and great hostess

Krystal Olsen

Food is bland and dried out

Adolf Klimek

Today we wisit the Kimono's and I have to say the food is cold , ribs stone cold, pasta cold, no taste just the soup was hot but no taste.I have to say we wisiting Kimono's for over 10 years. Our last wisit was last year 2012 and whatever I put on the plate never finish(I never waste the food) If chef Ramsey come over he will shot dow this restaurant.The the décor is over 10 old the wall never painted, fake flowers hanging close to the food I don't think so enyone dusted..This was my last wisit in this establishment.Sorry if you want costumer you have to take care of them not serving cold food.

Rhonda Wiley

Good

Lisa B

Great food

Leticia Silva

I am very disappointing of the Quantity of food that was given I ordered 3 of the lobster it’s the one thing I have at this restaurant and the amount I usually get and what I got was insanely expensive I paid over 50$ for three and it was not worth it

Gail Green

Got take out. Selection is awfulI and dry it’s all chicken dishes . Overpriced!

Bob Alton

Friendly people, good food, casual dining, buffet style dining only.

Michael Landreau

Food was cooked poorly. Experience was overall terrible

Andrea Des Groseilliers

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.

Russell Mcpherson

New owners very friendly

Tim Proctor

Lots to choose from.

Gerry Letford

Very good food and service!

Paul Fluri

Been twice and was not impressed either time. Reasonably priced but food is of inferior quality. Who puts ketchup potato chips on a buffet table.

Gloria Rizzo

Good

VAL R

Food was passable but cleaning tables was very slow and staff could not understand english well. Will not eat there again.

Alyssa Hamilton

Good place. If you go for lunch its $12.99 and dinner is $16.99. I haven't 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

Jane Lafleur

Ate at Kimono's last night with our 2 grandsons. The food was fresh and hot, we enjoyed every bite. Would go back again in a heart beat.
