Fast service of drinks etc.
This place used to be good, or should I say serve good/decent quality food. Today it’s just salty, and nauseating. It tastes like warmed up food, stale food, and below bare minimum for the cost. But I guess it’s buffet so you’ll find something you like.
My fav was just plain vanilla soft serve out of the whole experience.
The staff was nice though, and the atmosphere is clean and nice.
Overall, food (stir-fry, soup, tea)tastes flat. It used to be a go to spot for all you can eat, buffet style, years ago. Price is high, not worth it due to lack of taste. There are quite a few options nowadays where all you can eat are made fresh. Plenty of parking and seats. Staff are pleasant. However, this last time we went, their ribs were actually tender, not dry but a bit too sweet for me. Sushi selection was never great but have gone downward, very very few with raw fish....read full review

The Hard Wok Buffet offers a varied dining experience, with many praising its great service, wide variety of vegetarian options, and spacious parking. The lunchtime buffet is considered quite good, with the unexpected inclusion of bacon being a highlight. The restaurant is known for its seafood, including fried shrimps, fried calamari, and ginger scallion crabs, which are often praised for their freshness and taste. The sushi bar also receives positive comments, with the rice being chewy and flavorful, and the ingredients well-prepared. Customers enjoy the chill ambiance created by the absence of background music, allowing for easy conversation with family and friends. The staff has improved over time, now consistently refilling drinks and ensuring hot and cold plates are available promptly.
The food is generally really good, though not incredible. The sushi rolls have a lot of rice, but the sushi looks fresh. The fries are battered and amazingly cooked. The buffet caters to the local neighborhood and has three buffet tables, plus one for desserts, which is a smaller selection compared to typical buffets. Some items can be a bit bland, and they limit the amount of snow crab legs they put out. Overall, the food quality and variety make it a worthwhile visit, and the attentive staff ensures a pleasant dining experience. Many visitors have been returning since the restaurant's opening in 1997, appreciating the warm greeting and the familiar feel of their favorite Chinese restaurant.
