Just ate here with my kids and husband and we will not return. The servers were pleasant but the food was not. Everything kind of tasted the same, very heavy on breading and light on flavour- just sweet; when we arrived there were a few dishes running low- within 15 minutes there were nearly half of the 12 dishes missing and they were not replenished for the remaining 30 minutes of our visit. The vibe is cafeteria. The icing on the cake was the cost- $100 for two adults and two kids. Mediocre at best We really love the Port Alberni location!!

Tables do crowd you, windows on 3 sides making it a bright and cheery atmosphere. The food was hot and plenty. I'm glad I finally ate there.Wheelchair accessibility: Easy in, easy out. Plenty of room to maneuver.

Visited for lunch straight from Ferry from Vancouver it was 1230pm...nice restaurant, open concept, clean, and lunch buffet was enough. Wonton soup hit the spot from a cold Ferry ride....and noodles, delicious sweet and sour pork, fair variety for the cost! Thanks for making our lunch time good. Will visit again when next over from North Vancouver.Kid-friendliness: Yes, ample floor space and tables.Wheelchair accessibility: Open street level large entranceway.

We had the buffet and was very pleased with all that we tried. All the meat was cooked to perfection, so tender and nothing was overcooked. The veggies were cooked well andstill crunchy, the chow mein was excellent. We didn't try all the meats, we ran out of room on our plates and in bellies. Can't wait to go back!Really nice atmosphere, all the staff were friendly.

Ordered takeout and it was kind of cold. The ginger beef was all soggy and gross. Ordered from here before and lived it, not so much this time.

The food was honestly not the best. The meat in the soup dumplings was red and seemed raw. Everything else was so greasy and after eating it, I could feel the grease in my throat. But service was decent. For $20 per person, hard to recommend.
