It was extremely comfortable and welcoming. The food was amazing as well. We had an appetizer and I ordered the buddhi bowl as well as a tuxedo cake for dessert takeaway. It's a great spot if you are looking for a unique, small and welcoming atmosphere as well as authentic Chinese food.

And as far as the buffet goes there wasn't much options. So my daughter had just 2 fortune cookies. You think they would have some Canadian options or even offer her something that was Canadian. I thought that was not right. Also it was so uncomfortable in there, and dark. The food was not that warm either. So we took our daughter to Dairy Queen. Iwe will not be returning to Kao.

One of 2 chinese buffets/restaurants in New Minas. Went there for lunch buffet because coming from…read moreToronto, had to try the chinese food in Kentville. Now for the review. The food - Their menu resembles the likes of Manchu Wok or food court chinese place. Spring rolls, chicken balls, bean sprouts quick stir fried labelled as chow mein, the usual sweet and sour pork, fried rice, beef with brocolli, etc. Nothing out of the ordinary here. They also have a little "canadian" section with burgers, chicken fingers, and fries for the children. The desserts consist of cakes, and ice cream. Again, nothing that will wow you. The layout of the land. Walking in to the restaurant, your immediately welcomed by a long bar/main desk. To the left and right are the rows of tables and booths. Behind the main desk/bar is a wall and behind the wall is the buffet tables. The way the buffet tables are laid out, does not make moving around to get your food very easy as their are directions on which way the flow should go in terms of getting your food. Overall, I feel as if the food here is catered very much to the area as some of the food lacks flavour and there is no chilli oil or sriracha available. Their "homemade hot sauce" comes at a price. No thank you.

We were so disappointed in the favourless food and small portions. We vowed never to go back. Fast forward to 2025 and Gold House is about to open up in a new location. I thought it might be worth a try again. Really bad idea. Supper long wait time for food and horrible tasting dishes with very little actual items in each dish, mostly filler such as lots of noodles or rice. I was horrified by the day glow coloured sauce on what turned out to be breaded chicken balls. It was ordered as Sweet and Sour Chicken. I had hoped that a new location might mean a new or better cook but apparently the old lady that owns Gold House is still there and it is shitty business as usual.

Our usual go-to for Chinese food is closed on Mondays so we decided to try China Village instead…read morefor take out. Finding a menu online proved to be the first challenge. After much searching we found one, but it was small and difficult to read. We noticed right away that China Village doesn't sell spring rolls, in fact there are only 3 items on the appetizer menu. We settled for egg rolls, and Bo Bo Wontons, as well as General Tao Chicken, Szechuan Beef, and Mushroom Fried Rice. We were pleased to hear it would be ready in 10-15 minutes... our usual haunt takes up to an hour! Once we got home and broke out the food it quickly became obvious why the wait time was so short. The mushrooms in the rice appeared to be canned. The Szechuan beef reminded me both in texture and taste of the boil-in-the-bag beef dinners my mother used to buy when I was little. In its defence, there was a little bit of chili heat added, but not enough to redeem the factory-made taste of the sauce. The General Tao Chicken was more like boneless buffalo wings. The sauce was heavy with something resembling Tabasco, and I don't know how you make deep fried chicken so dry! The portion sizes and prices at China Village are decent, but I'd happily pay more for less if I could have authentic flavours and freshness. There was very little about this meal that tasted Asian. Blindfolded I'm sure I'd have guessed I was eating bad pub food. If you're looking for a cheap way to fill up quickly, China Village might be your spot. If authentic dishes, flavour, and fresh ingredients are on your radar, you should probably keep going, because you're definitely not getting any of that here.
