Been coming here for years, good service, until tonight.I shared a meal with my father, my brother asked if I wanted to try something that he got from the smorgasbord, I put it on my plate... Then they charged me for a smorgasbord purchase!

Save your money and eat somewhere else. There is nothing good to say about this place. Thank goodness they’re closing permanently soon! With so many amazing restaurants in Penticton I have no idea how they’ve managed to stay open as long as they did.

Never again! Ginger beef was 90% breading, almond chicken was like leather (with no almonds), no pineapple in the pineapple sweet n sour pork. Got sick at 4am and again at 7. What a waste of $100

27$ a plate for the smallest buffet with extremely low quality food. No name ranch in a bottle on the salad bar, powdered watery mash potato, and sesame chicken that is harder than rocks are just a few examples. The only positive part of the meal was that we didn’t get food poisoning after.

My husband and I stopped last nite. Ordered off the menu. It was so awful I didn't leave a tip. It was disgusting. No flavor to be had. Plain plain. Minimal service. Will never go back.

Horrible not much on buffet told us they would bring more and fresh only brought 1 item old and dry no taste very disappointing. Children are charged as adults. Definitely won't be back.

Worst buffet i ve ever went, all the sauce where like water ..so everything that was fried was actually smoochy …i wont talk about the desert … make no sense … Chinese palace have no buffet but the portions are huge and the quality is insane… dont waste your money here

Very disappointed. Wonton was good. Everything else was questionable. Also performed the cardinal nono. Mixing fresh batch of food to the old product in the buns.

Only very few items out. told us they would put out fresh food and only put out one item. Another 2 people came in and they told them the same thing. Food was old charged me 26$ for my 11 yr old.
Overpriced for mediocre food. Chinese food is a hit-and-miss. No buffet as advertising shows so to have what you like you have to buy several plates that cost $$$$

I can’t express how bad this buffet is. The food was absolutely terrible. I couldn’t eat anything but the soup. It gave me and my family food poisoning afterwards aswell. It had a horrible selection of food, and horrible service. I’ve never seen a buffet this expensive and this bad. If you are thinking of coming here with your family I’d recommend not to. The waitress came to our table once for water and we had to look for her to get more. Once we were done she was badgering me for a bigger tip. She kept telling me a % and tried to do it herself. Overall worst experience at a buffet/ restaurant in the Okanagan.

Was so looking forward to a tasty chinese meal! Ordered a take out here based on super good 9.8 score reviews on Skip the Dishes. Maybe they were having a bad day idk. Portions were great actually, but you could snort the spring roll and still wonder if you got any. OK exaggerating a bit, but they were so disgracefully tiny! The ample portion chicken/pineapple fried rice was utterly tasteless. I've had boiled rice with more taste. The very dry sweet & sour pork was also awful. Also ample portions but really, why bother. The meal felt recycled and barely warm! One plastic fork mouthful and the rest gone to composting. Our first & last time here!

Very rude behaviour by the lady working there. Went there to pick up an order and was treated poorly. I wish the lady had learned some basic etiquettes on how to deal with a customer. Would not recommend them at all.
