The food is always fresh and delicious with lots of selection. Staff are helpful and attentive. We come here every year on our vacation

My Friend Paul and I went to Driftwood Restaurant on August 20,2025 for the Dinner Buffett.The food,service and over all experience was 10 out 10😎🇨🇦!!!The love and passion put into the food was Incredible!! The ginger beef,lemon honey pork blew my taste buds away!!! Amazing wonton soup made with ground fresh pork!!! Definitely will be going back at least once a month!! Living in Port Hardy the only downside is being 3 hours away from a restaurant who cares about there guests like it's family!!! The restaurant is across the street from the water so u get dinner with a view!!!! Thanks again for first time dinner at your beautiful restaurant I will never forget being treated like family as soon as we went thru the front door!! Cheers😎

I want to start off and say, the service and atmosphere is off the hook! 10/10 but the food was terrible on this occasion. It’s obvious you guys store your seafood in the same freezer as your other meats / deserts. The pork and ginger beef tasted slightly fishy so I thought “okay same fryer as calamari, fair enough” but when I got to desert the carrot cake too, had a fishy freezer taste. It’s imperative you invest in a separate freezer for seafood because I could tell… we plan to visit for a friends bday next month and hopefully you guys see this & I can edit this review and give 5 stars. Cheers.

It used to be a lot better
Buffet less choices, no spicy squid, cook couldn’t keep up with veggies. Garbage outside entrance not picked up.
Wait staff were amazing and hustling.
Don’t think I’ll be back unfortunately
We have been coming here for at least 10 years

Went for the dinner buffet. Showed up just a few minutes before 5:00. Food was not very hot and there was a limited selection (although I've heard there's dim sum at lunch).

Seemed like the meats e.g. sweet & sour pork, ginger beef, lemon chicken etc. had already been sitting in the sauce for hours - drenched and totally soggy. My advice would be to serve sauce separately to stop the breaded meat from losing its crisp. It was a sopping mess. Also, cut the amount of sugar in half. Ginger beef should taste of ginger, not just overwhelming sugar syrup.

Made-to-order off the menu is much nicer.

Wonton soup was good.

Great selection of food in their buffets. It is a family-like atmosphere. We can't visit here as often as we would like but the waitress always remembers us.
