We don't usually frequent buffet's that often but pleased we tried out this restaurant. One of the members of staff let us see the buffet area before we decided to eat there.

There was an excellent range of food and what we tried was very good. I particularly enjoyed their beef stew, it was amazing, meat was so tender. I also enjoyed their BBQ Pork Buns. In fact everything was good. There was a decent selection of desserts, we particularly liked the swiss roll and Chinese Steamed Sponge.

Most of the food was presented in buffet style counters however the Dim Sum came in bamboo containers. I saw a small selection of food for those who weren't keen on Chinese food.

The Dim Sum was very popular, unfortunately people were running and pushing to get the fresh stuff when it came out and taking all they could carry (a bit greedy).

Three areas of improvement:
1) The buffet area was small and was a backlog of people at the Dim Sum area.
2) The Dim Sum area should be in a different place, this was also the staff access point to the back area of the restaurant
3) The bathrooms were very slippery and I almost fell over

Service was good, we were served tea as soon as we got to our table. I got my soda within a couple of minutes. The gave us tea refills constantly. They cleared our plates often. We got our bill within a minute of asking for it.

The restaurant looked clean, the tables and chairs were really comfortable and the decorations were nice.

$10 per person for an all you can eat buffet with food of that quality was fantastic. It is $6 to take out your lunch and $16 for dinner.

I would go back to this place but go with a more emptier stomach!

When we arrived around 11.45 the restaurant was busy and had to wait about 5 minutes, which was not that bad. It was a lively restaurant that's for sure.

We were offered something to drink and choice of tea right away. We don't often get a choice of tea.

We checked the Dim Sum we wanted on their order form but they never came to pick it up, so I went to the front and handed it to them. I wasn't happy with that.

One of the members of staff obviously knew the people at a table next to us because he spent most of his time there chatting. A couple on a close by table couldn't get anyone to bring them the bill despite this staff member standing there chatting with his friends, eventually they got up and asked for the bill and when they had signed their paperwork they took it back to the front counter.

Our food came out pretty quickly. All the Dim Sum items were kind of average tasting, none of them tasted bad, but definitely not outstanding. The Xiaolongbao was probably my favourite item I had.

The restaurant was smart enough, didn't really notice it being dirty. The floor in the bathroom was quite slippery and felt as though I would go head over heals at any moment.

We were the only people in the restaurant who got our leftovers packed for us, others were just given boxes. That member of staff was particularly friendly to us and his cheeky smile and flirty eyes made up for the sporadic service we had received earlier.

Would I recommend this place? Kind of a nice local restaurant if you don't want the trek further field.
Would I go here again? Yes I probably would, if I was in the area.

Just wanted a quick snack on our day of shopping so I decided to get a Chicken Teriyaki Sandwich from this place in the food court of the Aberdeen Shopping Centre.

It was $3.96 including taxes, very cheap and as my review title suggests you get what you pay for.

The actual bread roll was large, with two very small pieces of chicken which were unfortunately completely tasteless and fatty, two slices of tomatoes and a small piece of lettuce. I took the chicken out and ended up with just a salad roll basically.

The service was decent enough, they seemed friendly. It would have been value for money if there was anything worth eating in the sandwich. The place looked clean enough but since this was in a shopping mall I can't judge the ambiance on the restaurant itself.

I wouldn't go back here again.

Luckily we arrived at the restaurant, at 6pm, just before the multitude of crowds arrived, I guess for the live entertainment. Around 6.45 there was a large line of people outside the restaurant.

The food was very good and imaginative, quite a lot on the plate, and could only eat half of it! I had one of their veggie burgers and it was pretty good with loads of stuff on the side, the sauce was the most memorable. The amount of food did put me off a little bit.

There was certainly a lively atmosphere in the restaurant, quite noisy. I had some problem hearing the waitress. The service was good, our waitress was a little power house and fell of energy, very quick.

The one negative thing in this place was the heat, it felt very humid in there and was starting to get a headache.

The live entertainment had problems kicking off at 7pm because there was some problems with the equipment. When he finally got going 15 minutes later, 5 minutes before we left, we couldn't hear the act because it was actually too noisy in the restaurant.

I would likely go again...every now and again, not too restaurant.

This is our second visit to the restaurant. The new owners have been there since May 09 and looks better than the previous residents, we didn't go in prior to this as it looked dirty.

The good is excellent, both times I have had sandwich which were good but also tried others food and especially love the beef stew with noodle soup!! I always have their Vietnamese coffee as well, always delicious.

The service is quick and friendly, very attentive and ensure we are happy. Everything is served fairly quickly.

This isn't The Ritz but its very clean and welcoming, certainly above average for the price range they charge for the food.

This is local to us and would come back on a regular basis.

I will start off with ambiance, generally it was OK apart from some guy putting up shelves when we had just started our meal. The sound of drilling drowned out our voices. Apart from that it was acceptable.

Service was good, probably asked too many times if we were OK but generally quite attentive and the person had a smile.

Food was alright, but nothing really outstanding. We had Chicken Korma, Chicken Tandori, Garlic Naan and Mango Laasi. Certainly enough portions were decent but taste was average, nothing to write home about. I have probably been spoilt but the above average Indian food in London UK.

For an "average" tasting meal the price seemed to be a little expensive.

The big question, would I go here again. Probably if I fancied Indian and if I was in the area but wouldn't go out of my way.

We had a range of dim sum here and the only item I really thought was outstanding was the regular dumplings. We also had BBQ Pork Puffs, Shanghai Dumplings and so on which were less than or about average.

The service was good, even though the restaurant was very busy we got seen to straight away, no hanging around, food came out quickly and got our bill quickly too.

The prices seemed quite reasonable by Vancouver standards. Ambiance - well, it was ok, a little dirty, a refresh of paint wouldn't go amis!

So the big question is...would I come back here again? Probably would but wouldn't go out of my way.

We came to this restaurant on a Friday evening when it was quite busy.

The service was quick and friendly throughout the time we were there. The ambiance was good, seemed quite clean and the decor made it have an atmosphere, I suppose they were aiming for British pub style.

Before I review the food I have to say that I am British. The food was nothing similar to what I have had in the UK homecooked, in pub's or restaurants. One of us had Fish and Chips, the fish looked like it came out of a box from the frozen section of Safeway. The Chips were actually quite good but more Canadian style than British. We also had the fillet of salmon, potatoes and vegetables. The salmon wasn't too bad at all. The potatoes looked as though they had a ton of butter in them and beaten to death, and pretty tasteless.

We were looking at what other people were being served. We noticed that the Cornish Pasties were quite small by British standards. The Shepherds Pie's actually looked quite good but served with salad (WTF??) which I have never seen before. The Yorkshire Puddings looks a very interesting shape!! Well, if you really like traditional homecooked British food don't go here!

They had a few items that weren't British like Burgers and they actually looked better than anything else!!

So, I may return here for say a drink because the atmosphere was good but I think I am better off making the British stuff at home - and my cooking ain't really that good but I can do better than that!!

Sorry Cheshire Cheese!

Just popped in here to have a quick bite to eat. This placed can be considered a little cafe rather than a restaurant. Decent menu for light snacks.

The Vietnamese were generous and cheap, they tasted very good too. I had a Vietnamese Iced Coffee which was brilliant here.

The ambiance was really non-existant. It was quite a poor maintained cafe, hadn't been decorated in a while, was a little dirty and had boxes of stuff in the main restaurant area. With a little bit of effort this could be improved.

Service was good but I didn't expect any given the size of the place.

We were recommended this place and can see why.

We were pleased we made a reservation for this place as it was quite crowded. All the waiting staff were amazingly friendly, everyone said hello to us and was very polite. Our waitress was very polite and friendly too giving us great advice, everything came out very quickly.

The food was amazing too, one of the best Xiaolongbao we've had in Canada to date. My other favorite was the pork sesame pockets, we haven't seen these in so many years and this restaurant did them perfectly - the meat was lovely and moist. Other people were ordering them in the restaurant so they might have been a specialty or favorite.

Loved the design of the restaurant, very modern, colors were very relaxing. It was also very clean and loved how you could watch the cooks make the bao's and other food. The waiting staff looked calm and relaxed, unlike many other restaurants in Richmond, so this made me feel unstressed being there. This restaurant looked as though it was for professionals or business people, a great place to bring a client too.

From the looks of the restaurant I was expecting a high price for what we had but it was actually very reasonable indeed.

I would recommend people try this place out at their earliest opportunity.
