I was neither impressed or unimpressed with this buffet.
1st, i came on a Saturday night and this place is Jammed pack for dinner service. overall i found the food all tasted quite delicious... quality is good. Not your typical manchu wok items.
Here is some pros and Cons
Pro:
Quality of food
ambiance and decoration
dessert section is not too shabby (black sesame ice cream)
Cons:
-Line ups! the place is not strategically laid out. People may butt you in line and those wanting a simple tempura shrimp may fine themselves in the peking duck line waiting for 6-8 minutes.
-a lady stands by the "good stuff" limiting you. salmon sashimi and scallops... 2 tiny piece of scallops per turn. 3 pieces of big sashimi cuts.
-selection is small for the buffet section. and for the price? i expected more.
-Price of 30 dollars a person is pretty steep considering the amount of selection they have is not as big as spoonful or even the old star walk.
The seating section is very large and spacious.. but the actual buffet section is pretty tiny compared to the space they have.
I think if spoonful moves into markham. they would take over if people are really willing to spend this amount of money for a small buffet. (also, no more hot crab legs. only cold super salty ones)
