First time here, the service was so friendly and attentive. We had the buffet, everything was hot and fresh. The green beans with black bean sauce was my favorite.

Comfortable place, the staff are always prompt and friendly. The buffet consistently has food we enjoy with great flavour. With prices going up everywhere, this is our go to for dinner out.Parking: Lots of parking, maybe busy in the day with other businesses open, but at night there is alot.Kid-friendliness: Family friendly and high chairs available.

My daughter ordered online to have it delivered for 430. Not here at 500, she calls, they said it's on the way, gets a call 10 mins layer asking why her order is not picked up yet. Tells them it's suppose to be delivered at 430, says ok on it way. Got here at 6... and of course it's cold. $100.00 she paid. We will never order again!!!!

We like to order off of the menu. The food is always hot and perfect. The regular Chicken Chow Mein is consistently great but the Hong Kong Style Chow Mein and Chow Fun is top notch. The service is always excellent. Even if something was missed, they are quick to make it right and are very empathetic. Their dim sum is also very good! Dim Sum Extravaganza on the weekend is AWESOME!

My daughter and I go on "daddy daughter dates" to different buffets and this was the best one we've found in Nanaimo!Exactly what you're hoping for in a chinese food buffet. Food was solid, there was a really good selection. Ambience was classic "buffet" including the classic fish tank which my daughter really loved sitting next to. Service was excellent and they were constantly refilling the buffet with fresh options. Price was more than fair.

I am Chinese from Vancouver, and was looking for some Dim Sum. No issues with this place. All was good. Better than I thought really.
