First time coming to this restaurant and actually first time eating at any restaurant in Brampton…read more Came here as a big group of 42 and they gave us a closed off section right by the entrance to the right just behind the soft drinks section. Upon entering the restaurant I was greeted to a very clean and modern ambience that reminded me kind of like some of the big buffets in Las Vegas. Very cool setup where they have 3 self serve fountain drinks which is included in your buffet price. In the middle they have a grilling area where they are grilling Basa fish, salmon, chicken, sirloin steak. The steak was amazing they put this butter, garlic garnish on top that makes it so delicious. I had 8 of these steaks this evening! They also had a stir fry, soup noodle where you can choose your own ingredients, different vegetables and protein and carbs for them to either turn into a stir fry or soup noodle. They had plenty of ice cream to choose from as well as a soft serve ice cream machine. The service provided by the employees were top notch, so friendly, and helpful. Very pleased with my experience and just to note my visit was on a Friday night so your good selections may be different depending on a weekday or weekend.

I was really looking forward to celebrating my birthday here, but unfortunately it was a…read moredisappointing experience from start to finish. The sushi rice was overcooked, and the sushi kept falling apart every time I tried to pick it up. The food prepared at the live cooking station was very watery, and the salmon was dry and lacked flavor. The customer service also did not meet my expectations, which made the overall experience even more disappointing. The chef's cooking felt rushed and, in my opinion, lacked the care and attention I usually hope for when dining out. Even the dessert was a letdown. My 9-year-old commented that the ice cream toppings were disappointing, which was surprising considering how simple that part of the meal should be. To make things even more heartbreaking, this was my birthday. I wasn't expecting a big celebration or for the staff to sing to me, but I had hoped for a small gesture, a simple slice of cake with a candle or even just a sincere "Happy Birthday" from the waitress or a manager. I understand restaurants aren't obligated to do this, but a little hospitality on a special occasion can leave a lasting positive impression. Instead, I left feeling disappointed. I traveled all the way from Scarborough to celebrate here, and unfortunately, it will be my last visit. Positive: Unlimited lemonade Great ice machine. Pizza was "all right"

We had come here on a Saturday evening at around 5:00 pm for dinner. When we walked-in, we had to…read moreprovide our name and the number of guests to the hostess, whom then asked us to step-aside while they provided a table for us. After a few moments, we were greeted by a kind younger lady, whom brought us to our table, while giving us some instructions on our dining room number and how long we were able to dine for. After being seated, we were then introduced to our server, whom asked if we wanted any drinks. We decided on a water each, then preceded to the buffet where we began with the meat carving station. We were impressed with how many food items were available, and how delicious they all tasted. I loved how all of the items were hot (temperature-wise), with items being replaced quickly once the trays were emptied. Once we had finished our meal, we had asked for the bill however, it did take some time to arrive, as it was quite busy in the restaurant. We were also given a calander for the next calander year, which we thought was a nice touch. All in all, we enjoyed our experience here, as the food was delicious, and the atmosphere was inviting. The price was a tad high however, considering the amount of food that we received, it was well worth it!

The food is worth the price in terms of quantity of options available, including an extensive number of options for desserts. Quality-wise, definitely above average. I'd recommend making a reservation during peak hours which you can check online, including for Friday lunch when it gets filled fast from the corporate crowd from neighboring offices. Will definitely be back!

Don't have high expectations with regard to the desert selection but then again it is a buffet. Very relaxed atmosphere. We've been here for a few birthdays with large groups and never feel rushed. Remember to register your birthday on their website as you will get to dine in free if you bring in 3 other guests with you on or around your birthday! Unlike other restaurants, I don't recall ever being told "last call" which has been nice. Never really too busy or crowded so haven't experienced having to wait in line too long. The line up at the buffet station has usually been pretty fluid. The different sections (such as the salad and sushi bar and grill) being separate from the main buffet help to break the line up I guess.

This review is mainly because over the years sadly this location has gone down in service and food…read morequality. Don't get me wrong there are still some dishes that are tasty but it's hit and miss now. The portions are not as consistent as before and some of the managerial staff are less than helpful when it comes to customer service. On a Friday night in summer this place should be full!!! Like the surrounding restaurants and in the past I'd say it would have been but now, it was empty during peak time. Which is so sad because this used to be one of our favourite spots. The mushroom soup was watery and tasteless. Some dishes have more veggies than meat ratio. The curry peanut chicken was also watery not as thick as I'm used to seeing a Thai peanut curry. Coconut rice didn't have much coconut flavour almost felt like it was just coconut cream instead of water but nothing else. Just overall sad to see. I hope things change cause I'd hate to see this place continue to decline but the proof is in the pudding something isn't working for them to be empty in the middle of summer rush dinner time. Hope this helps. The main problem here is the food is not consistent. And the service from management is a little snarky. Side note though their crispy fish still is amazing so if you only go for that totally worth it!

The first thing I noticed about the space is that the interior is quite beautiful. It boasts dark…read morewalls, light seats on the booth and beautifully ornate gold treasure-like pieces along the wall and glass shelves. It is reminiscent of a museum that pays homage to thai culture in a very classy way. Our server was extremely friendly as she listened to our spice requests and emphasized that our food will be cooked to the way that WE desired. My partner and I ordered the Green Curry with Beef (with a side of rice) and the Chicken Ayam Curry (Malaysian style). In addition, we settled for a vegetarian spring roll appetizer with the sweet and spicy sauce. Due to a promotion, that spring roll was actually complimentary which was a pleasant surprise! The vegetable spring rolls were large but cut in half to resemble four mini rolls. It tasted good with the sweet and spicy sauce, but the inner veggie filling was piping hot (be careful, almost burned my tongue!). The curry portions were quite generous - especially the Green Curry which came in a bowl that was the size of a medium salad bowl! It was creamy and flavourful. The Ayam Curry was extremely savoury and the chicken was so soft. Instead of the creamy viscosity of the Green Curry, it harboured a thick, sauce-like consistency. It paired so wonderfully with the lightly toasted and buttered roti. It was so delicious that I ordered another! If I had to choose one to recommend, it would be the Ayam Curry. Savoury, delicious, flavourful and unique! Note: the only parking nearby is street parking along Avenue rd which may be paid (I commuted to the location).
