Friday night the restaurant was little bit empty, with plenty of available seats. The selection of meats was great — pork, chicken, beef, lamb, and seafood. However, the marinated meats were a bit too salty and sweet, probably because they had been soaked in the sauce for too long. There were not many servers, so the grill pan was not changed promptly and even got burnt. We had to ask the staff ourselves to get it replaced.

Other than that, there wasn’t much to complain about. The restaurant doesn’t offer many side dishes, so it’s more suitable for people who only love eating meat. I hope they can improve the seasoning of the meats and change the grill pan more frequently. I'll come back:)

It has been a long time since we had been back at this restaurant. Our family of four were happy to have a late night dinner on a Monday night. We were greeted by a kind hospitality at 8:30 pm. We could see the updated additions to this long standing restaurants, clean, well lit atmosphere. Our children loved the fountain pop and the buffet style food selection was great. Lamb , Shrimp, Pork, beef chicken (especially spicy chicken) sides were also well stocked. As we were cooking on our table bbq the young waiter paid very close attention to how we were doing, checking that our heat was how we needed it and asked if we wanted our grill changed. This I really appreciate as we had pork and beef then wanted to grill some shrimp . My only regret is that I was not more hungry. The price was very reasonable. We will be back!! Thank you for your constant hospitality, it’s so nice to return to a long standing establishment.

Ordered takeout. If you have eaten at Asian wok, Eddie's and Bombay Chopsticks etc. in Mississauga, you will not like the food at Ginseng. The rice tasted as just a boiled rice as opposed to steamed. Ginger chicken had no taste and manchurian chicken tasted nothing but spicy. The stirr fried vegetables were just boiled and had no taste. Paid over $100 for ginger chicken, manchurian chicken, veg dish snd momos. Not worth at all.

I've been to this place a few times and I do recommend this place!

Had such a great time at Ginseng Restaurant with my friends! The food was so good — everything was fresh, flavorful, and came out fast. The vibe of the place was cozy but modern, perfect for catching up and enjoying a chill night out.

We also had the pleasure of meeting their amazing manager, Sang Hee. Super welcoming, attentive, and you can tell they really care about the service and experience. It honestly made our visit feel extra special. Definitely coming back again soon!

The food was fantastic! Huge buffet, large variety of meats at every spice level for grilling, and everything was super fresh. The staff was friendly and explained the process to us, and there was no pressure to leave once we'd finished eating. My sister and I both loved it and are looking forward to coming back! We particularly loved that it was buffet style so you can control portions, which isn't always the case with all you can eat. We were very happy with the price for the amount of food we ate as well. The sirloin steak was divine and worth the price on its own.

The moment you step into Ginseng on a Sunday, you're not just at a restaurant—you're crashing the best family BBQ in town. The air is thick with the delicious aroma of grilling meats and the palpable buzz of happy diners, creating an infectious, communal energy. And there's a special kind of magic in cooking your own meal right at the table, flipping the meat until it's just the way you like it—a little bit charred, perfectly juicy—and sharing it with the people you love.

The menu is where Ginseng truly shines, offering an impressive and thoughtfully curated feast. While the stars of the show are the endless varieties of beef, pork, chicken, and lamb, it's the fresh, vibrant additions that truly elevate the experience. You'll find yourself making a perfectly balanced plate, stacking your grill with classic onions, carrots, and zucchini, and artfully wrapping your sizzling protein in crisp, large lettuce leaves. Don't forget to add some delightful seafood options like shrimp, cuttlefish, and mussels—they were a definite hit in the wraps! The tangy pickled radish and a comforting cup of soup also make all the difference. Even with crowd-pleasers like veggie tempura, the possibilities for a wholesome and satisfying meal are endless.

In the end, Ginseng proves it's so much more than an all-you-can-eat spot. It's a wholesome, lively, and truly satisfying culinary experience. If you're looking for great value, fantastic variety, and a whole lot of fun, grab your crew and get ready to grill—you won't be disappointed!

Not really sanitary once staff laid it out, also tipping being mandatory when you’re cooking and serving yourself? Ridiculous

Found a hair in the food of self serve area. A mandatory 15% tip is ridiculous for a place where you pick out and cook your own food.
