Also serve yourself soda and coffee/teas. The Chinese food section was questionable. The char sui was too thick and dry. The bok choy were drying up under the heat lamp. Only fruit that night was watermelon. The best part seem to be the fish. May consider again if a similar offer comes up.

Came here for a lunch buffet with my friend to use a buy 1 get 1 free buffet coupon I won from the…read morecasino. Unfortunately, being Good Friday, the staff couldn't accept it because the coupon excludes holidays. Always read the fine print on your coupons, folks! We went in anyways and paid regular price with the small encore loyalty card member discount. There was a very short queue to get in at the time we came. The dining area was busy and only a couple tables were vacant. Most of the food at the buffet tasted average. A few were better than expected, and some things were pretty bad. I'll go over the ones I tasted. The fish pollock and prawns with butter sauce was kind of bland. The sauce added no flavor at all. It did not have the frozen seafood taste some buffets places have, at least. It was OK. The Korean beef and broccoli was alright too. Not much flavor, again. Their sweet and sour pork wasn't that good mostly because of lack of flavor and it was too dry. I came back to the buffet counter a second time and it tasted a little better when they replenished the pork with more sauce. But their pulled pork and chili beans was better than expected. It was a good mix of pork and beans and it was tasty. I got seconds of that. The deep fry veg was straight up disgusting. My friend thought it was mushy artichokes. It had a weird aftertaste too. It looked tasty though. There was teriyaki chicken legs but it was mislabeled as beef lasagna at the counter. The chicken legs was better than expected because the skin was crispy and the rub they used was somewhat tasty. The creamy pesto chicken ravioli was too dry and lacked flavor. You'd have to take extra time at the buffet counter to scoop up the little bit of sauce left for it to taste any better. The stir fried snap peas were alright. They were sweet and freshly cooked and was a good addition of greens on my plate. The stir fried veggie spring roll tasted alright. Not much veggies inside but they had plum sauce on the side for added flavor. The broccoli slaw was actually not bad at all. It was fresh and it had ample amount of dressing. The cake slices were fresh and not stale like some buffets tend to give. Their chocolate cakes tasted alright. But the coffee cake and the cookies tasted kinda bad. I did like their lemon cake, though. Choices of fruit were sliced up cantaloupes, grapes, and peelable oranges. Don't bother with the ice cream. It's bad. I think they used cheaper ingredients for the ice cream machine mix because it didn't taste good at all. They had toppings like sprinkles, marshmallows, and cookie crumbs. The marshmallows were VERY stale. I wouldn't be surprised if it was out there since yesterday. One thing they did right is the choice of soft drinks. They used a touch screen coca cola freestyle machine with many choices of syrup flavors. The Sprite orange drink tasted great. Another thing they did right is keeping the dining area spotless. They sprayed the tables regularly with a disinfectant cleaner after customers left. Staff were very fast in taking the used dinner plates tables. They took my plates almost immediately after I left my table to grab more food. One staff member was very apologetic for taking my unfinished drink off the table when i was gone, haha. 3 out of 5 stars based on this visit. I didn't deeply regret eating here because most of the food here were passable in terms of quality.

This is one of those places that you just have to try once. I came here with B, H and E on a…read moreSaturday to try their lobster and prime rib buffet dinner. We arrived at 4:30 and took turns standing in line. By the time we got seated down it was 7:15. I heard when the promotion started the wait was super long and there were people waiting for 5 hours. Food was ok. It wasn't superb but again for $9.99 buffet, I couldn't ask for too much. once you are seated the food line up moves super fast and smooth. Food selections or options are super limited. Seems like nothing much to eat other than lobster and prime rib. The salad looked so sad that even I don't want to touch it. I wasn't sure how long the salad has been sitting there. I did grab some flat bread and it was stale. So basically nothing is edible at the buffet other than the lobster and prime rib. The desserts looked sad as well. Definitely not wow. Have to say because I was standing in line for so long, I really got to know my friend H a lot more.

We thought it would primarily be brunch/breakfast items but there was such a large selection and variety of items. The staff were very nice and accommodating. They also had live music which was a nice mood setter. You get juice, pop, coffee or tea included with your meal. Alcoholic drinks are extra charge. We had gone on a regular Sunday and not an "event" Sunday so am not sure of other offerings. There was sushi, inari sushi, dumplings, sticky rice (but not sure if the dimsum was leftover from lunar new year special), roast beef, ham, mussels, shrimp cocktail, fried rice, short rib, roasted vegetables (REAL veg not just bagged corn and peas like other places lol), sablefish, grilled chicken, eggs benny station, omelette station, charcuterie, scrambled eggs, toast, bacon, sausage, mini avo toasts and dessert bar. The only real downside is the overall price. I think just given the location I wish it were slightly cheaper. Adults are $45 and seniors are $37. There aren't a lot of good quality buffets around so I do understand it sets them apart it just may attract more guests at a bit of a cheaper price. Or maybe it they had something in conjunction with the casino to offer a discount that would be another incentive to get people across the bridge. I would be more so inclined to bring them back at a different rate as we are coming from Burnaby and Vancouver.

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!

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.

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.

I did not see anything I see here in other people's photos. They did not have any other sushi but california roll. The yam tempura was almost empty when I came in and it was never refilled. They refilled the prawn tempura twice but each time there were only around 15 pieces and it becomes empty immediately. The japchae had nothing but the potato noodles and black pepper. The gyoza only had noodle filling I didnt see steamed prawns, yangnyeom chicken, watermelon, etc. Meatballs look like ikea meatball. The dessert bar was whole apples, two bite brownies, dad's cookies and popcorn. The price is cheap if you just want to be full of carbs because it is lacking a lot of protein and veggie dishes. Most things are store bought premade stuff that they reheat. Most are also deep fried but with a lid on so it becomes soggy, especially the deep fried mushrooms.

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.

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.

I don't remember there being any beef short rib (LA galbi) on my previous visits, so that was a nice surprise. The marinated pork shoulder was very good as usual. The deep fried items seemed old, cold/lukewarm and very tough/chewy. Too bad because I used to love their chicken wings. I noticed a shaved ice milk machine with an assortment of jellies and red bean. The machine was hard to operate and only some of us were successful in grabbing some. Still a reliable option for large groups but I wish there were more options to choose from in Surrey.
