More like a 4.5, but good enough to round up to 5. I was recommended this buffet by a friend and was not disappointed. The place is trendy and upcale, and one of the nicest place in the buffet is the washroom, no joke. 12 foot high stalls, waterfall faucets, basin sinks, automated soap dispensers, dyson blades, WOW!
I guess I should talk about the food. This place boasts seafood on their website and they don't lie. Over half of their food items are seafood, from fresh crab legs, mussels, shrimp, octopus, conch, to a wide variety of baked/grilled and prepared seafood.
How about Smooth and creamy Lobster Bisque soup? Lobster tart? Escargot Deluxe?? If that doesn't get you going, don't know what will. They still have freshly prepared "real" meat for all you barbeque lovers, maple maple ribs, chicken robataka chicken skewer, beef skewer, grilled cucumber/zucchini and more. In case you are into the typical buffet food like fried rings, fries, fried wings, yes they still have all that, plus additional goodies like fried calamari. And of course, they have the usual chinese food dishes as well.
Desert selection includes a wide variety of cakes, baked goods, ice cream, fruits, and as you probably know, they have a fondue fountain. Not much of a dessert guy, but some of the stuff was a hit and some was a miss. The berry brulee was garbage, but there was some other egg pudding thing that actually tasted like creme brulee and that was pretty good. Something rare is they also have some interesting candies.
Service was okay, I don't expect much from buffets and they did their job. Overall, this place loses 0.5 points for:
-a couple (literally only one or two plates) that resembled very close to what I had bought at costco not too long ago.
-fruit could be more ripe
-toddler under 5 costs $2. Seems almost cruel?

I would add pictures to this review, but I was too busy eating.
