Excellent buffet and good price too. Been there many times. Food is authentic and consistent, and it reminds me of my childhood in China. There is a lot of variety, definately enough to fill you up before you have to repeat dishes. There is an array of steamed buns, dim sum, soups, stir fries, marinated meats/tripe/gizzard etc (my favorite), fruits, and desserts. It is fresh and the sauces are delicious. We paid $20/person (including tip) for lunch service. Dinner is a little bit more but I can't remember how much exactly (under 30), and it provides crab legs and prime rib. It is a Chinese buffet though, so I would definately recommend the Chinese food over the other options (onion rings, fries, sushi etc). Definately worth a visit for anyone looking for an affordable, delicious and casual way to spend a meal with family and friends. read more

What can I say about this restaurant?... nothing memorable or exciting. The variety was great but the food quality and flavours were average at best. I don't think I will return unless someone else is paying (not worth the high $20s dinner price tag). read more

Funny I like Chinese food. I am from Vancouver you can imagine there are quite a few Chinese Restaurants in Vancouver and there is an easy give away whether the food is good or not. Head counts they say...how many Chinese people do you see in the restaurant before you seat to eat. Many means good very few or none means run for your life lol I have been to this Buffet place a few times and I have a good george of nice Chinese food coming from Vancouver. I will say it is ok and in Calgary not a whole lot of selections, none that I know off. I have been to the old location and I like the new one better. At the old location my boy throw up all night after our visit. We never bother to go again until the new location. My husband and I had lunch a couple of times and decided to attempt taking the kids there again. But this time I made sure my boy did not eat anything cold, Hot only, play safe. Services so so. You have to ask for drinks before it is offered. I don't know why, perhaps they think you are there for food. I decide to go there with a friend I have not seen for years, girls need to catch up on girls talk. I did not like where we were seated. I requested a corner seat because I know we will be chatting and giggling you know girls talk. The service was poor. We had to request for drink tea and juice that took a while. They waiter keep coming by with a dumb question are you done? I just ignored it because we were have such a great time chatting. Some lady walked by and made a comment. The comment suggested we should hurry up. We looked at each other and ignored it again. When you have a good company it is easy to ignore the not so nice comment. I did not think anything about the whole experience but asked my friend a few days later we both had the same feelings poor service. I have to be sure. I invited another friend for lunch. This time I was ready to give them a piece of my mind. I came prepared. We over stayed for sure. The service was better. I could not help but notice that they refused some people and allowed some. For a restaurant that is not acceptable. Even though it is close to dinner prep but still these people may have just come from work. What happened to customer first? They have good selection for sure. Dinner are the best choices. With buffet I would stay with hot food than cold just to be safe. The service depends on who is on duty at the time. read more

This is a great place with nice buffet. Stuff they provide are in the dim sum menu, 4 shrimp dumplings can cost as much as 4 dollars but in here is all you can eat. To make things better the variety of foods is good. This is the best Cantonese buffet I have experienced so far. read more

This buffet is my family's favorite buffet in the city. It is about $14 per person for lunch service, and in our opinion is the much better option than the dinner, though you don't get prime rib or sushi. You get a super large selection of dim sum and breakfast options like bacon, sausages and scrambled eggs, a wide assortment of chinese food options and even things like fries and onions, chicken nuggets and wings. In addition, you get a salad bar, soup area, sushi, and dessert (3-4 types of ice cream and small cakes). There is even soft shell crab available now! Everything tasted pretty good aside from a tray of homestyle potatoes which were undercooked. Service staff come around often to take your dirty plates so they don't clutter your table and also to refill your water. If you like chinese food buffets then you should definitely try this one out, and come early around 11 am to get all the delicious egg tarts! read more

Buffet Yangtze - Buffets Near Me - Calgary, Alberta

Decent buffet with limited selections. They had 1 whole island with just fried items, a few soup choices, stir fry, desserts, salad bar, and dessert soup. The food was just ok, not the best I've had. Great service though and the place does get packed. Food looks fresh and they refill the items fast. read more

Food was dry. There was a whole lot of nothing. Lots of trays were empty so that was really nice. Wouldn't recommend.

This place being near a mall has a decent selection for food for a place this size. Although as the picture shows I'd still be careful with what you put in your mouth since I found this in one piece of chicken. Plenty of seats available so you don't need to worry about needing to wait for a seat. I do think that the staff do need to get food out quicker and are more careful with the food for a buffet seeing the amount of seats and all. Other than that service was okay. read more

Buffet Yangtze - I'm not sure what it is but I found this in my chicken. Like it's not bone and tasted like metal! - Buffets Near Me - Calgary, Alberta

Pretty decent selection. Especially if you like seafood. Not the best buffet I have been to though. Restaurant was pretty dirty and your chairs are backed against the table behind yous chair. read more

Never, ever compare this place to Foody Goody! The Buffet Yangtze has become our favorite Chinese buffet, and we don't care about the price as it's well worth it. Friendly, courteous staff.. clean restaurant.. food kept hot and fresh. I think I've tried about every dish they've ever served and I love about 95% of them, especially the fish/seafood selections. My only complaint is that the desserts kind of suck (as they do at all Chinese restaurants,) and the ice cream station doesn't seem too sanitary; there has to be a better way to self-serve ice cream! But I'm not going to have ice cream at a Chinese joint anyway when there's a DQ right near by. read more

The Yangtze Buffet really let me down today (I've eaten there at least 20 times over the years). Buddy and I got there about 11:45 and the buffet was very cold and dim sum selection was markedly poor. I asked buffet attendant about more dim sum and all she could do was giggle and say "Maybe later." This response is offered moments before lunch rush is to begin? Honestly. Prices have also been jacked up a couple buck to $16 since I was last there a few months ago. read more

Service was the most redeeming quality of this place, the food was very salty and had so much sauce on things you couldn't taste what you were eating. read more

High-volume, low cost Chinese buffet that is targeted at the gluttonous, but has an edge with some more high end items such as crab legs and sushi. Yes, I have been know to be gluttonous on occasion. It's also the kind of place you take weird distant relatives to because you're not sure what they like to eat, but you can still find a few nice things for yourself without wasting money on the weirdos. FYI, they've been fined tens of thousands of dollars for health code violations in the past, which seems like a rite of passage for this type of restaurant. I'd take a few shots of hard liquor to disinfect when you get home, just to be sure :-) read more

I have never given a Yelp of despair before, but my daughter did warn us. She refused to go with us when we went out for dinner. She'd been the week before and pronounced the food horrible and the restaurant evidenced the decline by the number of people in the place. For over ten years we've visited the Buffet in it's vairous incarnations and eaten a truly decent array of food. And it was always busy and bustling. Last week we went to Yangtze and all three of us were not only disappointed by the food's temperature, taste and freshness, but also the fact we spent more on the buffet than we expected to for a week night. To it's credit, the restaurant now has a Teppan for fresh cooking, and the barbeque pork was fairly tasty. Not sure if we'll venture back, because if our daughter was right, the quality of food was not worth the money we paid. read more

Pretty good.....got stoned and enjoyed myself.Food was better than most greasy chinese buffets with a pretty good selection.

Too expensive for rubbery seafood, erratic service, and uncooked dumplings. My stomach got upset after sampling a few of their many dishes. I have had fresher food, better service, and it cost less. Yangtze cannot compare to any small town Smorg joint, which is disappointing. read more

Great selection. Some traditional & a lot of North America Chinese items on the buffet. The staff is very pleasant. A little pricey but worth it. read more

First of all, I like the new look from their 'new' location. Classy & clean looking. I give this restaurant 5 stars for their lunch buffet, but I would only give 3 stars for their more expensive, and lesser quality dinner buffet. Their lunch buffet includes dimsums of decent quality, while their dinner buffet lacks those dim sums, while adding meat selections that are sub-par in quality and taste. Pretty impressive quality of food with their low cost = 5 stars for me! read more

First time I've been here in 10 years the food was not bad but the dim sum was not good at all I got pop u pay 5 $ for a fountain pop medium glass no refill maybe in 10 years I'll try again read more

Honestly not bad for a buffet. Still felt like crap afterwards but I had a serious dim sum craving and left satisfied. Good selection of dim sums at the lunch buffet as well as Western food like potatoes and bacon. The Chinese dishes I tried were decent as well . I don't expect much from a buffett and was pleasently surprised by this one. read more

This is the best Buffet my husband and I have ever had! The biggest selection of Chinese food we have ever seen in a buffet! So many choices that we will have to go back many times just to try everything they offer! I have a handicap and the Host went to seat us, and upon seeing my difficulty walking, changed his mind about where he was going to seat us, for a table really close to the Buffet - very thoughtful! The place was packed on the weekend with a continuous change over of people who were finished and leaving with the new people waiting for a table. The place is so big, that you only wait 5 min for a table!! This place is amazing - worth every penny! read more

This place has great food and many many different choices from breakfast to dinner. Dinner time has the best selection from steaks to Japanese to Chinese food. Also have a lot of dessert for the kids and many types of fruits. read more

Went here for lunch and kept coming back to my table with an empty plate cuz the food looked so bad. Everything I did try was cold. The wonton soup looked like dirty dish water and Bukakke. The sweet and sour soup was so funky no one at are table ate it. I can't say I've ever left a Buffett still Hungary until now. I wound not recommend this place to anyone ever and would never ever eat there again. There was no option to give no stars so I had to give it one. read more

Love the food grate people grate price the mangers and all staff are awsome they help out when you need it they take all type of payments witch help most people out so if you want a fun time out with your family or kids come to buffet yangtez read more

While this buffet has a selection not offered by most others in town, I don't find it worth the high price. It's often too busy to and therefore hard to even get to the items you want. Service is acceptable at best. read more

The good: lots of varieties to choose from in Chinese and Western. The bad: the serving dishes were greasy (don't they use soap when washing them?) and the food temperature was mostly lukewarm to cool (why don't they keep the warmers hot enough?) - both are risks to food poisoning, let alone being unappetizing. And, too much salt and oil is used in their cooking. read more

the best chinese buffet in calgary. great food selection, great service.

We went there last night, first time since re-opening. Very disappointing! Waited half an hour even though everyone was given a number when we got there. We were number 10. However, there were people coming after us who seemed to know the guy calling the numbers for seating, and after a brief conversation with him, got in right away. Food was mediocre, bland and some tasted downright weird. Many of the plates were not clean, in fact everything in general did not seem clean. read more

This is my family's go-to place for buffet dining, we especially enjoy the lunch for the dim sum. The diners are always racing for the pork shumai and egg tarts, which are popular. We've been regulars for years and commend the restaurant for the food quality and great service. My daughter always looks forward to getting a lollipop (or 2) from the friendly staff. read more

My husband and I had gone regularly to the previous location in the mall. However, the quality and selection of the food offered has now declined, and we would not return to this restaurant. At lunch on Saturday, most of the food was fried and not refresh. There was very limited seafood selection, and the sushi and dim sum (which was the specialty items) were stale and not being replenished. Unfortunately, the buffet exhibited all the weaknesses of many Chinese buffets. I am certain that they are losing regular customers, and not likely to get many new customers, given current practises. read more

Terrible!! The food was gross, uncooked and not tasteful. Me and my husband were excited to try it out looking at all the reviews and it was sad that it had to turn out like this. The food is cheap and definitely not to our satisfaction. If the food is cheap, you should at least make it taste good. We couldn't finish the food on our plate because of how awful it was, when we were ready to pay and leave our server was giving us shit saying that he was going to charge us more for not eating the food? Okay, it costed us 30$ each for the buffet I'm sure that's more than enough for your cheap ass food. Sorry but very pathetic. read more

not worth for what i paid for. was disappointed with the foods. i didn't find any good stuff at all! the plates, bowls and spoons were so dirty! read more

I'm not sure how long ago they increased their price but we went for supper on Saturday night and paid over $19.00 per adult. This does NOT include beverages!!! The food isn't not good at all. It's dried out and over cooked. A lot of the 'clean' dishes still had food on them. Not the quality of food you expect to get when you're paying over $19.00 a plate!!! We won't be back!!!!!!!! read more

The food is OK here. Not authentic Asian food of course, they are more like American-Asian food to please the non-Asians. The steak and sashimi are well-tasted. Please be aware that this is a very busy restaurant. If you prefer to chat with friends during the meal, don't choose here. This place is only for eating when you are really very very hungry. read more
