  • Figuring dim-sum would be a relatively quick, filling and cheap lunch option for my visit to Mississauga, I found Regal Palace Chinese Cuisine online and drove over to eat. My server sat me and asked if I knew how it worked. I asked for an explanation and he explained that I mark down how many of which item I wanted. Sounded simple, but to avoid overordering, I asked how big the portions were. He gestured bite-size and said "small! very small!!" Perfect, I thought. There were no prices on the first few pages of the menu, but there were some entrees at $10-18 on the last page. There was also a flyer on the table for Regal Chinese Restaurant which stated "$10.99 for lunch buffet // $16.00 for dinner buffet". All of these details pointed me to thinking that this was similar to all of the all-you-can-eat buffets I'd ever been to. I then proceeded to order about 10 items. Those items started coming. Those items were entree sized. I wouldn't have been terribly upset, except that the staff were giggling and pointing at me as more and more dishes were piling up. I tried to cancel what hadn't been brought out yet, but it was too late. At this point, my server mentioned that I could take some things home. This worried me, as most All You Can Eat places don't let you take home, or charge extra for things you fail to eat. I declined, as I found most of the dishes to be bland, greasy, slimy or worse. Onwards I ate. When I had sufficiently finished most of the food that had been laid before me, I went up to pay. While my server was printing my bill, I said "hey man, must have miscommunicated somewhere, and I ordered WAY too much. If you want to charge me for the dinner buffet instead of the lunch, I'd happily pay it" and he said "yes sir! thank you!" and hands me the bill, then quickly fucked off somewhere in the kitchen. SIXTY SEVEN DOLLARS?! HOW IN THE FUCK! Well you SEE. That flyer on the table for Regal Chinese Restaurant? That was actually for a DIFFERENT restaurant. This is Regal PALACE Chinese CUISINE. Oh, and the menu? Yeah, no prices for the dim-sum / carte items. They're actually marked S, M, L, but not in english. Those roughly translate to $3.50, $4.50, $5.50. I called for a manager and explained the confusion, and suggested that they: A) DONT PUT A FLYER FOR A DIFFERENT RESTAURANT WITH AN ALMOST EXACT SAME NAME ON THE TABLE B) Try putting PRICES on the ACTUAL menu C) Don't say things are small when they're actually a buttload of food She offered a 5% discount, and I said that wasn't good enough, so she offered a 20% discount. I accepted that.
