New to this restaurant. Atmosphere was very nice. Food was delicious and the portions large. One combo for one would feed 2 ppl. I also liked how the one person gave a lot of options. Service was quick and very friendly. We will be going back.
I have eaten at 2 locations, Campbell River and Nanaimo.
Great food, very good prices and wonderful staff.
Would highly recommend.

Would highly recommend.
Drove from Duncan area just to try the buffet. We were not disappointed. Food was fresh, nothing tasted the same as the other. Service was great, the kid cleaning the tables is one of the hardest workers I've seen in years and made a point of telling the head of staff. Little pricey but considering the options, how good it was, a generous amount of seafood options (not just battered prawns) we will definitely be back!

Driftwood Great Chinese Buffet offers a traditional Chinese buffet experience, similar to the early 2000s, with a variety of typical options. The food quality is generally good, with some dishes standing out, such as the wonton, which was delicious, and the fried chicken wings that were crispy and tasty. The prawns are fresh and tender, and the fluffy steam buns with different fillings are a highlight. The sesame sticky rice ball (麻球) is well made, crispy outside and chewy inside. Veggie and fish options are plentiful, though veggies tend to be softer than desired, but still taste good. Desserts are standard, including jello, nanaimo bars, carrot cake bars, and ice cream. The restaurant is spacious and clean, with plenty of parking nearby, making it convenient for visitors. Staff are friendly and attentive, quickly replenishing food trays and providing good service. A fun feature is the cat robot that can be sent to tables upon request, adding a kid-friendly and accessible touch. The atmosphere is cozy and welcoming, making it a suitable place for family dinners or gatherings with friends. Prices are around $35 per person, which some may find a bit high considering the food quantity, but the quality makes it worthwhile. Overall, Driftwood provides a warm environment with tasty food and good service.
