Quite a solid place to be honest! We didn't expect much going in, and came out pleasantly surprised. The thing that drew us in was the all you can eat show crab, and it absolutely delivered. Cold and hot options, they were quick to refill and the cook was excellent. delicious! other food options were surprisingly good as well. black pepper beef so tasty! The decor is not much to look at and the location is not great. my main gripe would be that the dishes at the buffet table were not all clean, sometimes i had to sift through a couple for a clean one. staff and owner clearly take lots of pride in this place and we will be coming back for the excellent value! read more

Asian Buffet - Chinese Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

This was one of the worst buffet I had ever been to. Everything tasted cold and old. The chicken wings were the only good thing. I seen one of the kitchen staff fill up a cake that was already out with 3 pieces as someone took 3, kind of made me question how long the food has been out for. The outside sign says $25.99 for dinner with crab legs. I did not see any crab legs and when it was time to pay, it was $31.99. The sign has in very little writing stating its $25.99 when you pay cash. The service was good though welcoming and fast. I would not recommend read more

I came here for a large gathering and it was a solid 3 stars for me. You can tell the owners are trying to improve the space but the overall feel is still dated. A blast from the past. I'm giving their freshly fried chicken wings 5 stars! I couldn't stop eating them. Crispy and juicy. Not overly greasy. The calamari were incredibly tender. These were definitely my favourites. The pepper beef was quite good. Put that on your noodles with some broccoli and you're good to go! I was surprised they had 4 different soups. I tried the hot and sour which had the appropriate ingredients. Not too bad. There's enough variety so something for everyone. Adults and kids had heaping plates of fried rice, fried noodles, and various proteins and veggies. I missed out on the watermelon. When they ran out it was replaced with honeydew. If you see what you want, get it. It may or may not return. The flat top area could be improved. Too much stuff going on there. That's the best I can describe it. The freezer with ice creams has seen better days. Thanks for the taste of Canadian Chinese food nostalgia! read more

If you have enough money to go to Asian Buffet, you might as well take it and go spend it at literally any other Chinese food spot in the world. You're better off going to the grocery store and getting quality items you actually want and taste good. It's amazing how almost nothing tastes good. And they kept trying to refill my water so I could eat less of their food I already didn't want much of. The fact that the only thing emptier than the crab leg shells that had barely any meat was the dining room should have been my first indication on how poor the food would be as it clearly foreshadowed how the rest of the meal would progress. Would never go back unless I'm dragged kicking and screaming. 2/10. read more

GOT FOOD POISONING. Some things were okay like the noodles and wings. Otherwise did not enjoy much of the food and there were very limited options. Food sits out for way too long. They should have some sort of way to clean your hands before eating like hot towels brought to the table. All they provide is hand sanitizer. 90% sure it was either the chicken balls or spring roll that brought on the poisoning. I WOULD AVOID EATING HERE. Atmosphere is severely outdated and washrooms look like they haven't been cleaned throughly in ages. The staff is pretty nice but doesn't make up for the environment and health issues. read more

i come here with my friend at twice a month and food is good chicken wings are great calamari is good great service everyone writing these bad review are expecting way to much if you pay cash its under 19 dollars read more

This is mostly your typical Chinese buffet, with the expected quality, but there're some surprises: there was a salad bar with shrimp cocktail, there were dinner rolls, they provided both black and red vinegar for the steamed dumplings & there was even some roast beef. I suspect they'd be better off concentrating on their core value proposition though (the roast beef was ). They get 3.5 stars. The desserts didn't include any Chinese desserts but there was a pretty big selection. That said the quality was very uneven: most were ok but the pastries that were supposed to be flaky were stale. Coconut cream cake was pretty good & the ice cream was pretty decent though. The Golden chicken wings, salt & pepper shrimp (pretty fresh), fried thin noodles (vegetable lo mein) & sesame balls (with red bean inside) were actually pretty good. read more

Hey Family, Here's my honest review of my visit to Asian Buffet where I have been eating for many years . First off let me start by saying DON'T SLEEP ON THIS BUSINESS this restaurant is for those who love Mandarin but don't want to pay for the high price. This location has plenty to seat, has fresh hot food with tentative staff ready to help you with any drinks or questions you have. It's located in Rexdale surrounded by commercial units. Doesn't have much green space but looks like they maintained the interior to ensure a nice dining experience. There's plenty of free parking at the back and it's usually not too busy. They have all your favorites and more. The food selection is decent with the hotel pans always full. Soups, salads, cold dishes, and even desserts. Sometimes they play CP24 and other times they play greatmovies like HUNGER GAMES. Can't beat that entertainment!! Overall when I am craving for that Asian buffet taste, I visit my favourite sleeper location. Great food. Good service and it's consistently good every time. You need consistency with these kind of restaurants. Overall 4.9/5. Until next time! read more

First of all , Asian Buffet does not even deserve one star. Everything just looked wrong /dirty. The tongs they leave at the buffet area for each dish was disgusting. The end area of the tong had duck tape wrapped around them and they were all worn and shredding and dirty. Every Tong and spoon was sticky The dessert area was not very clean either The bathrooms looked like it hasn't been cleaned in months . The only decent washroom had no toilet paper and the door wouldn't lock. If only I could provide the few pictures I took. I think good and safety services should check it out. read more

Food is good I've been going since I was small for Celebrations but I might rethink of going I bought a chicken fried rice through Uber eat and my food came with plastic I have never experienced anything thing like this and hope helps that no one else has experience what just went through read more

Asian Buffet - a spoon in a bowl of food - Chinese Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

yuck! there was hair in all of my food even in my Son's food he ordered Jello he said it tasted very dry and was hair the Chicken was okay no hair and was pretty good and the ice cream too pretty good and I ordered some noodles since I was not that hungry and I did not find one not two not three but FOUR strands of hair inside my noodles when I was done my food I got iced tea it did not taste good I didn't even finish it. Service was pretty good the people were pretty nice good service. PLEASE SHUT THIS DOWN FOR SOME RENOVATIONS read more

The food is not that bad, but it's a small tiny place. There's only two sectional hot tables, not a lot of food to choose from.

Has a huge sign - can't miss it. Spruced up interior. Great place for lunch because of the egg foo yung and the fatty sausage. The salad greens were fresh and crispy, as were the shredded carrots and the shredded cabbage. I like their french fries, and usually don't eat fries. The pepper steak is melt in the mouth. Fresh shrimp on ice at the salad bar. Husband is vegetarian and there is enough for him to go for three tall plates. It is not haute cuisine, and if you are a fussy eater, don't go. Enough good eats to fill a working man's stomach. Try the "rat on a stick" (chicken really) at the grill. The service is excellent. They have been in business for 18 years, so they must be doing something right. read more

Cheap Chinese buffet with great value for the price. Service is good, your empty plates will be removed often and your glass of water will be kept full. A lot of the food aren't so great, but that's to be expected for a buffet this cheap within the city limits. Don't get too much of the lemon/kungpao/sweet&sour/generaltso chicken, because they're all mostly soft fried batter. The lettuce in the salad bar was not fresh, but was not obviously old. The tapioca dessert was certainly a lot thicker than I expected. Great ice cream selection. But really, everything is as expected in a cheap Chinese buffet. They do take credit card. Plenty of parking in the back lot. WiFi password was posted on the front door. read more

I was in the area and found this buffet on yelp that was so cheap my mom and I had to check it out! I'm not a huge fan of Chinese food because normally I find an excessive use of oil but I was craving some oily goodness last weekend, nonetheless. However, I found the food here below average. Everything was super oily, really fatty meat and I could tell a lot of the foods have been out for a while as they've dried out and become hard. Out of the (3) plates I ate, my favourite thing was definitely the mango sorbet and green tea sorbet, they were really nice paired together also! Everything else I found underwhelming. Service was ok, neither good nor bad. Unfortunately, we will not be returning. read more

Very reasonable prices, decent AYCE spread with fresh foods and a good selection. Hard to find online (likely owing to the super generic name) but it's worth the hunt. Steer clear of Sunday lunch though. There's a church nearby and it seems the entire congregation heads here after the Sunday service. read more

food was not so great not enough things to choose from..fill water glass to much what they don't want you to eat to much...one good thing the staff were friendly and helpful...did'nt like that they take their own tip and add it to the bill in advance i think a tip should be earned not just taken..what if i don't like the service i recieved... not all waiters are good at serving you the best service i think i will tip you at my choice not the restruants choice..shame on them for taken a tip up front..no impressed at all read more

Okay since I've been here the past few times, Asian Buffet has made some small improvements as it's a work-in-progress, and Rome wasn't built overnight. The food has improved and their selections are better. Stay tuned for updates! read more

Great food... that's enough!.. for the price Free wifi and shit too But no ATM which is pretty poopy if you dont have cash read more

Sorry guys. I know I had low expectations for the place to begin with, but it they hovered around those expectations. Asian Buffet could not be any more generic. Just the name alone would leave you expecting disappointment. The restaurant is located on a long strip of \"not much\". Being a stand alone restaurant with nothing else surrounding it, this Chinese buffet draws people in with the price tag of $7.99 for an all you can eat Chinese buffet. The interior is dingy, but not as bad as the outside will have you believe. The food here is rather mundane, but there were some good items to go along with the many bad items. There are 3 tables of hot food with some outside stations as well. The stations include a grill that must have been vibrant in the past but was no longer active. The soup bar is decent enough as they had a selection of 5 different soups with bread and crackers that accompany it. Hot foods include Westernized Chinese foods like Sweet and Sour Chicken, General Tsos, Sesame Beef, Fried Rice, and Vermicelli. There are also a multitude of fried items that will leave the fat kid inside you (or outside) giddy with excitement. Fried Chicken wings, chicken balls, ribs, and noodles will make sure you die an early age. The food isn't actually all that bad, but temper your expectations. No one should be expecting gourmet anything here. read more

This place was so "meh". Nothing was stand-out. The best food wasn't even Chinese: it was things like fried fish (made English style), chicken skewers and mashed potatoes. Desserts were lacking in variety although ice cream was ok. Honestly the best dish here was the water (lemon slices added to the water with ice tasted very nice). It's very reasonably priced though and the staff were very nice. The ambience however was really low-class. It kind of felt like I was eating at a soup kitchen. So overall 2/5 stars from me. I honestly wouldn't come back. Mandarin and Wok of Fame are far better buffet spots. read more

A lot of people are giving this place a very low rating and I understand why. The thing is, this place, with its very affordable price tag, isn't supposed to be fancy. It's meant to fill you up so much that you'll have to pray that you dont get a sodium-induced coma after. If you're going to eat here without any expectations of grandeur, then its pretty great for lunch (maybe even dinner but I cant recall how their dinner serving was). Their selections arent half bad. They have a pretty satisfying selection for the price you're paying: baked salmon, fried rice, egg foo yung, ribs, skewers, soups, and they're one of the few buffets that I've been to that has siu mai and that makes me super happy lol. They also have those killer (literally lol) breakfast links that are sooo good and greasy. It's a guilty pleasure of mine, I admit it lol. It's nothing different from other buffets' lunch menus, but at the very least, you'll be getting it for a lower price. One thing that does irk me is how old and dingy the place looks like. But then again, for $10/per person during lunch, I can overlook that and just focus on filling my stomach up. read more

Asian Buffet is reminiscent of the Chinese restaurants in Chinatown along Spadina and Dundas. Nothing fancy in decor... kitchen style tables and chairs. If you're looking for inexpensive Chinese lunch or dinner, this may be the place for you. It's a step down from Mandarin quality and variety, but for $13 it's nothing to turn your nose up at. read more

If you've ever had Chinese buffet, you know what you are going to get: Panda Express/ManchuWok on a large table under some lamp. This place is exactly that but on the low side for quality. I know some folks here have commented that the food doesn't look too old or that food ain't so bad. I disagree. Everything I've eaten here have been disappointing and mediocre. The characteristic flavour found in all of these food is SUGAR. It's not sweetness, it's the taste of RAW sugar. There's no flavour, no spice, heck there's not even the typical saltiness. The food here is sugary mix of fried batter and meat/vegetables that makes you question your taste buds at the end. Some folks may like that, but it's definitely not my cup of tea. The worst food on the table was the chicken on a skewer. The chicken had the funk of a dried squid, and you don't want that funk in your chicken. The crispy chicken wings were not bad. I give them koodos for not messing that up, except it had like 0 flavour overall... To top off everything was the weird goop that they were calling ice cream. If you let your ice cream sit out in the sun, realize your mistake & bring it back into the freezer, and then decided to give the ice cream a second go, that's what the ice cream tasted like. Just weird mess of sugary and creamy sadness. I give them 1 extra star for the hustle of their employees and the fact that price is definitely cheap. I wasn't expecting some fancy gourmet dining experience, but I certainly wasn't expecting this level of quality either. Still, the remnants of the jumbled food mess that I couldn't eat all the way through were always promptly cleared from my table, and my glass of water to wash down everything was always full. read more

The only good thing about this place is the free tap water. The food is low quality and doesn't have much taste. The buffet is not set up to accommodate vegetarians and people that don't eat pork. You can't have a beef sauce dripping next beside a vegetable dish. You can't have sausage rolls oil pouring into the beef dish. They automatically add gratituity to the bill. It's for low class people . It's like a country club for the patrons of rexdale. Part 2. We're up to 3 stars. It's getting a little better. read more

although the food was decent the tables are to close! They don't have free WIFI so you have to use BMO's wifi which sucks. they should clean their tables after every customer from a table leaves. their food is really pricey and i found a lot of people don't feel they eat what their money spent. there were way to many flies surrounding my table which made me upset. i hope you understand this complaint. if you have any further questions feel free to email me at 1yeahno.30@gmail.com read more

I went back to this buffet back in 2015 and the food tasted pretty stale and I really did not enjoy my meal some of this food tasted either reheated or it's been out for hours! If you want to go to a buffet that serves fresh food go to the Mandarin it's worth the money for sure! Also this place is in need of a major renovation the place looks like a still stuck in the 1980s-1990s it doesn't look modern at all it looks really depressing read more

Sorry guys, I'd skip this spot if I were you. I used to like this place but that was almost 5 years ago..the food tastes old and as if it's all fried or made in the same pot it just taste the same it's so weird, my friend from highschool actually told me he seen a roach near the hot table all rexdale really needs is a good Chinese spot to dine at, it's not that hard. Mandarin is down the street but they're prices are way too much if your on a budget. Try this place if you like.. read more

Wouldn't recommend this restaurant filthy really poor customer service walked in and they didn't let their eyes off of us was extremely creepy. The employees cannot speak english they walk up behind stare down at your plate and dont say a word. Food was really bad rice was hard. Chicken was decent. Plates were dirty desserts and ice cream were disgusting. Half the price of mandarin but still wouldn't recommend. read more

Abosoluty loves this!!!! First went to Shanghai. They were opened and opened 20 mins late with no food so we left came here. They were open early too. It amazing ! Food was amazing. So many options ! I loved it ! Lunch is 9.99 per person ! Amazing loved It. Def will come back ! read more

Good for what it is. Cheap and good selection. What I had tasted good. Lunch buffet on Sunday was $10.99. Bear in mind no refills on drinks and they didn't mention this, so got charged for two diet cokes. read more

Food is good, portions are more then fair for takeout and the staff are pretty polite. My friends and I love eating here whenever we can.

Service is always good here, they are friendly and attentive. Sometimes the food is decent and fresh and sometimes it is downright nasty and old tasting. THE REASON WHY THIS IS: You need to understand something about this place.. They often have asian bus tours stop there for lunch / Dinner and if you are lucky to go there on one of those days the food will be good and fresh for the price you pay.. If there is no bus tour.. you are taking your chances.. and will most likely not get what you are expecting.. Weekends seems to be okay, I suppose because the food turns over faster ... Maybe it is best to call ahead to see if is a Bus tour day. read more

Went to Asian buffet cuz I was in the area. The foods are good and the price are better. 16.99 for dinner can't go wrong read more

This was a really bad idea. Terrible food - overly greasy, not fresh at all, overcooked vegetables, stale jello which was actually the most appetizing thing on the dessert table. The place was very worn and dirty looking. The restaurant is large but the table was too crowded for our group of 5. My daughter found 3 hairs in her food. This cost us $14 each - good price but it seemed like a ripoff because the food was so bad. Never again. read more

Not recommended. Poor services,slow clearing dirty plates. forgett about asking for some ice water they come every half hour . Rude . they stare at you constantly. Food isn't the greatest. Seems stale often . read more

No kidding, the only reason we came here is because Rob Ford does. Some of the buffet items were not bad but most was reminiscent of the many subpar Chinese buffets we tend to see in the US. Food that's too slowly replaced leaving dried out and stale helpings to be picked at. Given that Mandarin is 5 minutes down the road, I think my one visit to Asian Buffet will be my only one. read more

Hi there. So here goes. I am a big fan of Asian Buffet and will generally deal with some food that is not that great due to the selection. I have to say that the selection was not bad, however a lot of the food was cold. The chicken on a skewer was not warm at all. The meatballs in pasta sauce were frozen meatballs that were warmed and they tasted freezer burnt. As for service, we were sitting right beside the bussing station and even with many servers in and out, not a single one approached us for drinking. Really weird. That's where they make all of their money. There's more...I don't want to spend a lot of time...I have spent more than I wanted already. Last, but not least, as we went to pay, there is a little yellow note stating that "a 10% tip will be added to all payments" We usually tip according to service. In this case there was none. We probably would have given something and I wouldn't be upset if I knew going into it but after terrible service and then I HAVE to leave a tip, I was feeling pretty ripped off. My thoughts are that if you work customer service and don't have a built in tip...you may try harder. I know I always have. So for us...this was our first and last visit. Spend a couple $$$ extra and just go to the Mandarin...Always good food. read more

Not great, not bad. Basically, you get what you pay for. Decent variety but fewer choices than Mandarin. The quality is a notch below that of Mandarin but actually, not bad. Some items like the wonton soup, and ribs were even better. Considerably less expensive than the Mandarin. Service was prompt. Lots of free parking. read more
