Smilie's Place (North & West)

I went here tonight with a friend and we were really impressed! We didn't know what to expect and I will definitely be going back. It's a great price for AYCE and the premium meats are included in the price. I got the original spicy beef broth and it was really flavorful and quite spicy. I didn't even get up to get any extra sauces, etc to add to the broth for flavour since it was that tasty. The conveyor belt concept adds a fun spin to hotpot. It's in the basement of a building but it's decorated nicely and there's plenty of bright light so it doesn't feel like a basement restaurant.

Very good

10 outta 10, would recommend. I loved the conveyor belt style ☺️

Smileys, I have been attending your buffet for over thirty years. It’s now gone along with a piece of my heart. This was food I used to recommend to anyone looking for really good authentic cuisine, I will not do that again. All of my favourites have been changed. Nothing is good now. We sat there in the empty restaurant wondering what happened to our favourite spot? Why did you change everything? It was great before, it’s horrible now.
Smileys you claim you have the same chef for 40 years? Why did they change? Don’t mess with success. Smileys, it was a great 30 years. Thanks for the memories. I won’t be back

Used to love their food, but ordered for the first time since they did the renovations and I didn’t like it. I was so disappointed. Not sure if it’s a new owners or new cooks. I don’t think I will ever order again. The food is not the same as what it was before the taste has changed.

Very disappointing, probably the least appetizing Chinese food I’ve ever had.

Every person isn't just a customer with the staff there. They actually factually make you feel important and you can tell they for really realz appreciate your time and business. The staff are very knowledgeable about hours, menu items, specials, events etc. the bathrooms are clean as well as the rest of the place. Nice and open and they have pool tables as well.

Always have great food when delivered to my home! Decent prices… our favourite

Just an FYI all, they are open for take-out now, (April 6, 2024) Their renovations still have the dining room closed.

Not the same anymore...

If you like seafood this is a great buffet for that

Very yummy food with a great price. Only complaints would be sweet and sour sauce was thin/runny but still tasty and I like having some lemon with my dry ribs. Delivery arrived in no time. We ordered the gourmet special and an order of chicken balls, only 56$ including Delivery ( before tip.. always tip! friendly quick delivery). We're very full and have enough left to share with coworkers tomorrow at lunch. The containers are very durable and spillproof too!

Great food and service

wicked staff friendly environment
