Stopped in to eat on our drive thru town. It was 3:00 & we just missed the buffet.
My husband had the black bean chicken, it was really good & chicken so tender with lots of vegetables. I had the honey chicken that was very sweet but good flavor, it did have a lot of breading on each piece. Place looks like a mom & pop place which is ok they were friendly & service was good.

We had a delicious meal at the restaurant, Schezwan chicken & wor won ton soup. The soup broth was flavourful & there was a very generous portion of won tons, bbq pork, chicken & shrimp. Also, the broccoli was perfect, not overcooked. The Schezwan chicken had a nice element of heat &, again, the veggies (broccoli, cauliflower, celery, carrot) were perfectly cooked. There was also a very reasonably priced ($18) buffet that seemed to be popular with diners. The selection of items looked varied & the dishes seemed to be replenished quite regularly. The service was friendly, welcoming & prompt. It was a really nice meal & I would recommend it to others.

Fantastic food and treated like family by Johnny. He adds a warm spirit to the space that makes me want to return again and again. Thanks for the meal!

Love this place. 😊 They scolded us for ordering 6 dishes because “we only have one wok!”… but that’s how I like my service: Grouchy and direct! Chinese-Canadian Chinese food is fresh and hot.

A Chinese buffet under $20? In this economy?! When I saw this on the maps as were deciding our first meal in our first visit to Lillooet (lots of firsts!) I thought the information must be outdated. What a pleasant surprise it was when we walked in to a fully stocked buffet and a cozy atmosphere 😋
The owners (I assume the husband and wife?) that greeted us were extremely kind and accommodating. They sat us right away and offered to take our plates away for new ones everytime we were heading back to the food station for more (we were happy to reuse our used plates to stock up!). The prices, I don’t need to speak more about it, is EXTREMELY kind and affordable. I feel like they are running the business purely out of the joy of it 😂🤭💛
The food was hot consistently and they kept refilling it throughout the night- fresh unlike the other ones we’ve been to where you can clearly see that the food has been out and stale for a long time. That’s what happens when you have a yummy, smaller selection as opposed to 20+ dishes with lower quality in other buffets.
Must visit when you’re in Lillooet, as a matter of fact, I think we might go back for dinner again tonight 😂🫣🤣💛

Only been once, but really impressed! Food was great, service was fast, and the place felt clean and welcoming. Seems like a “local favorite” — worth a visit if you’re in town.

The owner is such a great guy and the food is absolutely delicious. We came in at around 9pm and he still offered us everything on the menu. Saved our day.
