I wished I had read the reviews here before trying out this restaurant. I am surprised that they had the gall to call this a Chinese restaurant. Food like the previous reviewers have said were drowing or I should say swimming in oil. Prices were astronomical for the miniscule portions they served. The asian man taking our order was not very friendly at all. Would it hurt to smile? They are lucky to be operating this restaurant in Whistler. This restaurant would have gone out of business in Vancouver a long long time ago.
Ambiance in this restaurant is like eating in a food court.

We were looking forward to dining here based upon the fabulous reviews of both the restaurant and the chef. Unfortunately, we did not get a chance to sample the food and left before placing our orders. When we arrived at the restaurant, some staff were gathered at the front door consummed with bickering. No one greeted us. Eventually, we were shown to our table. The atmosphere was mediocre,the lighting was bright and the music was poor. We had no waiter. Someone came by our table to offer us a glass of $90 champagne while we looked at our menus. The cheapest choice on the menu was a $98 set menu where numerous items had significant supplemental charges. While looking at the menu, a group of about 5 staff were gathered close to our table, having some kind of team meeting and consummed with what appeared to be more bickering. It was very unpleasant. It took away all desire to stay and enjoy a special meal. While the prices were expensive, we would have been willing to pay them had the rest of the experience been exemplary. In our opinion, when you charge those prices, the service needs to be in a much higher category. The fact that it was not reflects not only poor service but poor value.

It was a nice Korean style dinner which you grill at your table. The food was good quality and service friendly. No buffet when we went. My biggest complaint was the price. It was frankly, bordering on a tourist trap. A meat dish was in the mid $30's and was very small. A bowl of white rice $3. I can't recommend this restaurant unless they lower their prices.

I went to whistler for May long weekend and me and my friends were starving and we wanted somewhere for drinks and I thought earls because the Earls in Van is pretty good...so I assumed it would be good in whistler as well. So we get in and they gave us a table on the top floor in a pretty good area. We ordered drinks which were pretty good and for the main I ordered pasta. When the pasta had arrived all that was noticeable was the oil in there like there was no pasta sauce it was just oil I was really grossed out... I wish I had said something but I was well you get the drift when you have a lot of drinks.

You can get better Chinese food from Humboldt, California than from this place and this is not saying much. Ambiance was worse than McDonalds yet prices were comparable to a ritzy Chinese restaurant in Vancouver. Its funny they expected a tip when this restaurant is basically self serve. The asian lady working here better get a course in common courteosy before the world gathers here for the 2010 games. The beef we ordered was basically 80% fat and 20 % meat. I thought we ordered a beef dish and not a "fat" dish. Everything was either too oily or too salty. We were all dying of thirst after the meal which makes me wonder if they are part owners of the liquor store closed by.

The ambiance of this place was very endearing. The service was very friendly and prompt. The food was terrific - we were hoping for passable greek fare but were very pleasantly surprised. The menu was diverse and the entrees (fresh halibut) and appetizers (tuna carpaccio) were very well presented and delicious. The food was both traditional and creative. Don't skip the dessert menu. Didn't order a bottle of wine - had a pitcher of sangria. I do find the review below very difficult to reconcile with our experience!

My friends and I had the misfortune of wasting our hard earned cash on this place. The food was terrible, portions were miniscule for the price and the service was worse than the Soup Nazi on Seinfeld. We ordered the fried noodles, fried rice, sweet and sour pork and beef with vegetables and everything tasted bland and tasteless. Everything was covered with oil. I know that they are in Whistler but I don't know how they get away charging this outrageous prices. We should have walked away when we saw this restaurant was empty even during the peak dinner hour but we wanted some Chinese food so we decided to give it a try. The asian lady who took our order looked and spoke to us like she was basically doing us a favour for letting us eat at this "restaurant" which is basically like a food court. Stay Away unless you want to throw away your hard earned dough or die of a heart attack brought about a cholesterol clogged artery.

I've had a lot of bad restaurant experiences in my life, but this was by far one of the worst. The food isn't terrible, but the service, particularly from the owner himself, is deplorable.

Here's an example:
The wine list featured a 1996 Gallo Reserver Cabernet for $74.
We realized after we started drinking it, that it was, in fact, a 2005.
The wine was not what we ordered, but acceptable, so we didn't complain.
When the bill arrived, it stated a 1996 for $74.
Thanks to technology, we googled the wines and found that the retail price for the '96 is $37, so the $74 restaurant price was expected. The '05, was obviously significantly lower at $25, which would then make the restaurant price about $50.
Sure, it's only a $24 difference, but I think a 50% increase is worth mentioning.
We brought it to the attention of the server, who then spoke with the owner, who told her to tell us that the price for the two years was the same.

Sounds like a case of bait and switch to me.

He then came out in a rage and argued with us that the price of the two years was the same. Literally, he ARGUED with us in an odd, aggressive manner. Like he was outraged we had called him out on a sneaky trick he played far too often. My suspicion is he does this regularly to pad his bottom line.

Frankly, there are too many decent to excellent restaurant options in Whistler to waste your time with this place. The owner obviously has no respect for his customers and the food and service are far too mediocre to redeem it. The only way to approach this place is to play defense the entire time to avoid getting ripped off. Why bother??

Sushi Village offers excellent, fresh sushi. Period. The food here is consistently perfect, from the tempura to the sashimi, to the regular menu items. We have been going to Sushi Village for years now, and we have come to look forward to our visits to Whistler just for the sushi! The place is always crowded with returning customers, all eager to unwind with a healthy and beautiful meal. You simply cannot go wrong here.

We wanted to eat here. We tried to eat here. However, the people who work at this restaurant are incredibly slow and ignorant, or perhaps they just don't care. Either way, we walked out 3 out of 4 times because we were not greeted or because the employees just couldn't manage to multi-task. Really, it was a shame because they offer a solid menu at decent prices, right in the heart of the Village.
