Best fried chicken, ice cream, and the best music selection (unwritten by Natasha Bedingfield)

Not sure why the mediocre reviews, but the food here is excellent, because I go here at least once a week or whenever I want to save time from cooking myself. They always have more than 20 dishes to choose from, with at least 5 meat dishes. Always 2 soups, 5 fountain pops, and also ice cream available. The other buffets in town are too pricey and they don't necessarily offer better, not to mention I live in south Burnaby as well.

This place has gone downhill so much the only edible item is their fried chicken, for the price they charge its just not worth it

Place is clean and spacious, price is very fair. You don’t have to expect too much for just paying a little but for me, it’s more than I should get considering the food they serve.

I don't set my expectations high when it comes to buffet-style restaurants, quantity over quality for the food.
Overall, it is so-so.

TLDR: don't get the cuttlefish.. it's a deadly taste trap...
We came here for the nostalgia, and unfortunately, the roast beef was not as good as it once was. It was super chewy, which activated some gag reflexes.... The fried chicken and gravy were really good though. If you're here for the awesome soft served ice cream, that has not changed and is still a banger.

Being from out of town, we thought we would try this place, I must say I was a little more than disappointed. The decore was nice and clean but not much of a choice for food, and what there was to choose from left much to be desired. Food was bland and / or very stale. Food did NOT sit well at all. Guess there's a good reason why at dinner time, out of the entire restaurant, only 5 tables were taken up

We went here and loved it. For Vancouver area the price was very reasonable $28.40 with tax for each adult (Friday, dinner). Some things weren't as tasty which is always the case with any cheap buffet. The place was clean and well appointed. My husband really loved the all you can eat soft serve and pop as a bonus. Roasted beef was top notch and so was the fried chicken. Roasted veggies, sweet and sour chicken and chow mein were my fav. Overall would absolutely come back to check out their lunch.

Went for the sunday brunch which is outrageously expensive now - 24.39, more expensive than richmond sushi ayce.
They had the spread of all the cheap foods. 3 pans were just different ways of making eggs - boiled, scrambled, quiche (with very little toppings). Lasagna barely had anything in it. The roast was 100% well done. The only thing that was good was their fried chicken - super crunchy super juicy. I think I'll just try their take out chicken special next time.
Small parking lot near it. If full then you'll just have to park in the mall underground and walk here

Very diverse selection of food. From Indian to Chinese to American, you're bound to find something that you like to eat. Saw a server taking pictures for a group and the person collecting our plates was super nice. service is very good. Everything is good value for money, definitely recommend.
