Wow this Buffet is so similar to the restaurant at the coast: "The Buffet at Grand Villa". Well it…read moreis ran by the same people. Yes menu items are very similar too. They have identical restaurant layout, design, trays and plating. But this one is definitely way better than the one on the Coast. Food quality was better but selections are somewhat smaller. Pretty much everything was the same, except the desserts. The desserts that they had the night we showed up was all festive desserts. I mean nothing wrong with that. We were hoping there would be fancier desserts. Like the nutella cake they have down at the coast or jello and etc. We came on a Saturday night and they had the Prime Rib night. Best of all from now till end of December 30, its 2 for 1 (ok, I know what you are thinking. On the coast it's always 2 for 1 as well. Yes, same promo.) So, it worked out the buffet to be around $11 per person. The slow braised roast ribs were delicious. It was definitely my favorite. B's favorite was the pop machine. Yes his favorite the unlimited flavor pop machine. It was the same identical they have at the other buffet. Guess what they also have the soft serve ice cream machine but this one was very clean. The server was super friendly. Wow she works really hard. She is a one woman team. She rings people in, get people seated and also the person who clears the plates and takes the plates to the back. Wow that was impressive. Best of all she still has a big smile on her face. The buffet area is somewhat smaller than the one at the coast. But even at 6 or 7 pm, it was still not a full house. I highly recommend trying this Buffet. I am surprised that I will be the first to Yelp about it again. I guess this Buffet went unnoticed for a long time.

But we did appreciate that the wine prices were very good. Since it's grown in our own back yards, and often restaurants are way over charging for a glass of wine. Making me forgo it altogether, til I get home. Big thumbs up there too! And also, he was slow to remove the dirty plates. Seemed to spend a lot of time in the back. And doesn't seem to be bringing anything out etc. And there was only two other tables of two people each. So he wasn't running off his feet, or anything to make up for his absents. Anyways over all it was great. And if the waiter was a more attentive then I would have been completely satisfied. But he was polite and eager to help when he was around. Although it's a little dated it seemed clean. That's important. At least what I could see anyways. I google mapped this location and it kept taking me around the block. Did the same for our friends we were meeting there. Might want to fix that.

The staff at the front desk were friendly and accommodating, we asked for a couple wine glasses and he said they should be in your room before you get there. The only arrived a couple minutes later. We had a beautiful view of the city, it was all lit up for Christmas, just gorgeous. And a cute little balcony with a couple chairs and table. There was also black out blinds which I really appreciated. The climate control was great, and not too loud when it kicked on. The room was tidy and nicely laid out. The bathroom was great with a huge mirror lining one wall. The beds were a bit stiff, but not bad, lots of pillows to choose from and the sheets were alright, a bit loud when you moved but comfortable. One really nice perk was the complementary house coats in the room, that was a nice touch. Not sure if I would want to pay the summer prices for this room, but it was great for our price in the winter.

My husband and I were in Kelowna to visit some friends (we met at the halfway point, aka Kelowna)…read more When his friend mentioned they were in the mood for Chinese or Japanese food, my mind went to the Asian Pear Buffet. I had never been to this restaurant before and had no idea what to expect other than they would have Chinese food, and it would be a buffet. Turns out, Asian Pear has Chinese, Japanese and Western buffet food. We walked in and were seated promptly to an open table, though I did find out later they did reservations, at least for large groups. Drinks are separate from the buffet food price (the food price was reasonable). My husband ordered a beer and was less than impressed with the size; they gave him a can of beer for the price of a pub pint. I didn't have the heart to tell him that Asian establishments are probably not known for delivering on great value for alcoholic beverages. I was impressed with almost everything else at the buffet. The plates were on the smaller side, but it didn't matter because I could simply get seconds and thirds. The staff are great at clearing your plates quickly. They had a good selection of Chinese, Western and Japanese (sushi) food. I was impressed by the selection for Chinese foods; I saw Sweet and Sour soup, lots of fried rice and noodles and even coconut buns in the dessert section! I liked most of the stuff I tried, expect for the custard dessert they had...it tasted cough syrup sweet. My only caution is to not order the canned alcoholic drinks... you'd probably get more bang for your buck if you went to a pub after the buffet. I think this is a great place in Kelowna if you are looking to satisfy your Chinese/Japanese cravings and if you are into buffet portions. Staff are efficient and friendly. Would definitely go back the next time I'm in Kelowna.
