Stopped in Friday June 14, '24 about 1PM for lunch. Buffet looked ok, so we went with that.
One other table of 4 in restaurant that were finishing up, grabbed their flowers from the fridge and left.
I was facing the kitchen door, next to the door was the dish tub for dirty dishes. The, I'll assume owner, came out and cleared the table of 4, put the dish in the tub.
Just as I was finishing my plate, his wife comes out with a bowl and takes food, chicken balls, from the tub of dirty plates, puts them in the bowl, walks to the buffet and tossed them in!!!!
Told my wife what I saw, she spit out her food.
Get to the till, he said 'go have more' To which I replied what I had witnessed and how discussing it was, " That's OK, we've been here long time'
Probably happens in some restaurants, but never in front of the public, and not so casually as in we do this all the time.
Also, cash only, no signs to say that.

So if your in Carlyle Sk, stay away from the Canada Cafe.

Smorg contained: Dried out tough drumsticks, mostly flour chicken balls, mostly grey colored veggies very hard to only pick out the nice coloured ones, egg rolls good tasting which was surprising, fried wontons mostly wrapper with little filling, white rice mixed with a bit of egg and soya sauce, and pork in red sweet and sour sauce. That was all the choices 7 items. Oh and only cash but no sign anywhere that says so.

We visit Carlyle a couple of times a year since my mom moved there. We like to try different places to eat. My husband wanted to try their chicken balls so we ordered a combo plate. Reminded us of the Uptown in Moose Jaw. The decor was straight out of the 60s. What was different was the way the locals connected with Jimmy and his wife here. Sometimes that is all that matters.
Worst Chinese food I have ever had ever !I almost puked in my
