Empress Palace Restaurant

They are still adding GST to the bill even though the government declared it a GST holiday. Their food was meh. Makes sense why it’s mostly empty

We love coming here for the buffet on Sunday.... when they decide to have it open. The website says buffet every weekend, we will make the drive and almost every other weekend the buffet is closed for some reason.

Just gross, the black bean chicken was inedible, beef and broccoli pretty close too, ginger beef was debatable it was beef and flavourless.
Dumplings were barely ok...
Fried Rice was good

Barely at much of the delivery and threw it out (except the fried rice)

The writing is on the wall. The place was empty for a reason. Did take out. Confirmed was getting dinner for two and the 6 dollar special squid for spending over 35.00. yet getting there the bill was over 60.00. didnt honor the squid pricing. So I asked why they wouldnt then offer the free item with a purchase over 50.00. Nope unless you ask for it. Shitty but ok. So what about the 5% off for takeout. Nope, unless you ask for that too.

No wonder they are empty. The food was mediocre at best. We do take out at least twice a week. Well never at this joint... Ever again.

The lunch buffet is such a wonderful way to try out a bunch of different delicious food. I highly recommend their wonton soup as it is my favorite. They add water chestnut to the filling which gives it a refreshing little crunch.

This place is solid. For the last 4 or 5 years, it's been my go-to for Chinese in the NW. Quality is extremely consistent.

My fav dishes from here are: beef in black bean sauce, mushroom fried rice, chicken corn soup, hot and sour soup, and Cantonese style chow mein.

While takeout always beats delivery, this food travels quite well, so you don't need to stress over slower delivery services. Also holds quite well the next day.

So delicious! The lunch buffet is wonderfully prepared by very lovely staff. The cost is very reasonable for a delicious traditional meal. Cannot recommend enough. Come for the steamed pork dumplings, return for the lovely experience.
