| - Service:
- Walked in with a group of 12 at 6pm on a Sunday night. We were told there would be a 20-30 minute wait. We were seated after 45 minutes. Expected with such a large group.
- Our server, Jacky, was great. He was friendly, bright, clear, positive, trilingual (Cantonese, Mandarin, English), and tactfully tolerating of my younger cousins' antics.
- Our busser was emotionless, appeared disgruntled, and quiet.
- Around 8:30pm the table behind us (right in the center of the dining room) started cycling restaurant staff on their dinner breaks. Really tacky. At least have them change out of their uniforms or have a designated seating area for them that is not in the center of the dining room.
Food:
- Variety was good. Wide selection of dishes from different cuisines with a focus on Asian (Chinese, Korean, Japanese) with the addition of Americana, Churrasco, French.
- Most cooked items were as expected, buffed up with fillers and under-seasoned. (i.e. "Lobster Mac & Cheese" was more onion and tiny shrimp than actual lobster.)
- Grill items were all quite good, roast beef, kalbi, grilled quail, ribs, pork belly, wings, veggies, etc.
- Salad bar was fresh, no yellowing or wilted lettuces to be seen. Good variety including real spring mix and kale salad.
- Seafood bar was not good. It was constantly raided by those solely there for the unlimited seafood. The clams, mussels, and oysters were tasteless. Crab legs and whelks were okay. Did not try the octopus and shrimp after the aforementioned tasteless items.
- Some items purely provided for the children like pogo sticks and a candy buffet. Yes literally, just candy.
- Good selection of fresh fruit, all under-ripened.
- Desserts covered more square footage of the buffet floor than entree selections.
- Self-serve soft-serve ice cream was spoiled. All three flavours, chocolate, vanilla, and strawberry, there were all sour. Tasted like they hadn't cleaned the machines properly in months. The machines also were not the right type to serve soft-serve out of. They were slushy machines thus the soft-serve came out half melted.
- Regular ice cream was also showing signs of improper storage, several of us at the table had the green tea ice cream which tasted salty and the texture was off. This probably means that it was allowed to melt partially then re-frozen in an environment with other foods that were salty.
- Mini donuts looked like they were made of tempura batter, nothing like a classic Tiny Tim cake donut or even a common yeast donut.
Conclusion:
Go to partake in cooked paleo-friendly items. Don't touch the ice cream.
