    I feel like a King! This is a fancy lounge and I'm glad I had the chance to experience it…read more Probably one of the swankiest lounges I have ever seen. When I was walked in I was greeted by two lovely host that coat checked my jacket. The server then showed me to my seat before I set off for the Buffet. And boy was the food good! They had the biggest garlic butter prawns I have ever seen along with Turkey, Schnitzel, a sushi bar and the tastiest icecream I have ever had. I could not believe how good this buffet was. The bartender even told me to go after the sushi before they run out and I'm glad about that tip because it was delicious! This was pretty much a 5 star review. I'm only deducting 1 star because someone flooded the bathroom mid show (I was here for Kings of Leon) and had to go all the way to level 3 for the nearest mens washroom which was a shame. But otherwise this lounge was awesome!

    Tickets fell on my lap for a concert in the Encore suite and I didn't know anything about it…read more Great experience for any event. The food was as good as most upscale restaurants I have been to. There are so many options you must be selective or you may eat your weight in food. All the servers were attentive and friendly and it seemed they were always right there as soon as I thought about grabbing another drink. Drink prices are comparable with the regular admission but they treat you like people and give you a glass. The selection is a step up as well and cocktails are available. Sat at the bar seats at the top of the section and it was not cramped and we have a table for drinks and snacks. Again the servers were always around during the show. Would recommend this to anyone who has the chance.

    Buffets in Vancouver are usually miserable, when compared to those in Asia. So I did not have high…read moreexpectations, especially since this is found inside a casino. I was pretty surprised by the lunch buffet spread. The selection was limited but hey, it was only $15, so you could not expect roast beef or raw oysters and fancy seafood and chocolate fountains and the likes. The dessert was pretty good. Besides the smaller petit fours bite size sweets, there were proper cake slices. They also changed the types of cakes when they were gone. There were also tarts and fruit pies, soft serve ice cream (vanilla and chocolate) and mini profiteroles. For the entrees and appetizers/salads, they were not too shabby either. I was a bit impressed they cared enough to get on with the times to have pumpkin/sunflower seed, mandarins, quinoa, artichokes, etc for the salad sections. The dishes for the entrees were a mix of international stuff when I was there - adobo pork, tandoori chicken (looked scary but tasted ok), beef stew, fish (no fishy taste/smell), spring rolls, roast potatoes, grilled veggies, stir fry eggplant and tofu... Non-alcoholic drinks were included and they would be brought to your table. You could also have juices too.

    Surprisingly good deal for a buffet here. $11 lunch with Encore membership. Beautiful…read more Parking is plentiful in the parkade attached to the casino, as well as the lot beside the building. Seating seemed quite plentiful (for lunchtime at least). The staff were friendly and helpful. The lunch buffet looks really small, as everything other than dessert fits in a small room. There are 20 or so different items. The food quality is mediocre, but this can be compensated for with volume. Be sure to leave room for the ice cream at the end. The machine can do vanilla chocolate twist, for those who are feeling adventurous. Lastly, the buffet also includes (non-alcoholic) drinks, which is nice.

    Buffets in Vancouver seem few and far between and generally rather pricy so this seemed like the…read moremost reasonable option to go with kids. The third star is for the service as the servers come through and clear plates quickly and offer hot drinks when they notice you're towards the end of the meal, so they were great. But food... Considering it's $50 for an adult, you'd be better off going to a regular restaurant and ordering what you really want for a better meal. Most of the food was luke warm and the carving station was almost cold unless you catch a fresh one coming out. The sushi was probably the best items here and some of the salad bar. But how do you mess up fried rice? The rice and noodles were almost inedible and my kids couldn't eat the soft serve ice cream! And they'll eat almost anything sweet. Hmm, I didn't expect amazing food being a buffet, but I certainly expected a bit more than that. Nothing stood out as being all that great overall and at these prices... Maybe not!

    I cannot believe it is $50 now per person. I used to go here when it was around 30 something and…read moreyou get 10% off with the Encore card. Now there are no benefits. The high price is not reflected on the amount of dishes or quality of dishes. There is only 15 choices at the hot dishes section. This selection includes cheaper options wich as mashed potato, potato au gratin, store bought gyoza, roast veggies, steamed veggies, and fried noodle. Chinese roast pork was quite ok. At least the skin was still crispy. There is no raw fish at the sushi section. The prime rib was quite small. The desserts were lackluster except for the cobbler which was delicious. It also had a big bowl of devonshire cream and it was amazing. Parking is free in the parkade and there is plenty of parking. I wish they would elevate their dishes to justify the price point.

We went for lunch, there were a couple of others in there, they were not busy. On their website they have a couple of prices so we weren't sure which one we were going to pay. Food was mediocre at best. The sesame chicken was super salty and hard to chew. The porkchop was ok, the only thing I could actually digest. The rice was super bland, so was the chow mein. I ate maybe 2$ worth of food as it was just so bad. My family, who are big fans of Chinese food, barely ate anything because it lacked flavor and there were not a lot of options. The pop machine is in the dining area but you have to ask the server for refills. Overall it was an awful lunch but what really knocked it out of the park was the bill at the end...there were 5 of us, cost us $164.00!! I called to inquire why it was so expensive, turns out that my adult son who paid put zero for the tip...the server took the machine from him and added a $24.00 tip!! She accepted the amount and he didn't even see her do this. That is shady as far as I am concerned, we will never step foot in this establishment again. If you value every dollar you work for, and want good food...this is not the place for you....stay far away!!
