| - This has long been one of our favourite places for a quick meal in Calgary. With their recent renovations, it is much more comfortable and seems cleaner and is definitely more attractive inside. The food is pretty much the same as always; there's standard Chinese buffet fare such as ginger beef, sesame chicken, a variety of noodle and veggie dishes, some curry, wings and so on. They have an excellent selection of dim sum, which is always my first stop! If you are a dim sum fan, there's can't be beat. They also offer a selection of soups, a small selection of sushi, a basic salad bar, and an array of desserts.
Service here is iffy. Sometimes you get a very attentive server and sometimes not. On our most recent visit we had terrific service, but this is hit or miss. Sometimes your drinks are always kept refilled, empty plates are whisked away immediately, and the bill arrival is prompt. It helps if you are seated close to the buffet/wait station; the times we've felt like we were forgotten we were either seated next to the windows or in the back room area.
I will note that if you want fresher food, you need to eat at peak times - close to noon and six p.m. Late afternoon or late evening the food is often badly depleted or has that stale been-on-the-buffet-all-day taste.
