Review from Amanda B.

After hearing about Du Barry from some friends, a few of us decided to give it a try for lunch. There aren't too many Chinese buffets around town, especially in Ottawa. Mandarin is a popular choice in the GTA, but since I'm not a fan of it, I was excited to try something new.
I was actually a little disappointed. The selection was pretty good, but the quality wasn't great. They just had your standard Chinese food dishes, including wonton soup, hot and sour soup, mushroom egg soup, egg rolls, spring rolls, chow mein, chop suey, chicken fried rice, beef with broccoli, almond chicken, egg foo young, garlic shrimp, honey garlic spare ribs, and chicken balls, which aren't really even Chinese. They also had a BBQ grill and a small sushi section, including sashimi - something you don't usually find at other buffets. Speaking of which, they even had fried frog legs! This is something that I was surprised to find, but other than that, I wasn't too impressed with the taste of their food.
Nothing was freshly made, and it seemed like all of the food was just sitting there under the heat lamps for the entire day, even though it was only lunch time. The food was more authentically Chinese than other buffets I've been to, so I definitely appreciate that. -

As stated on the Emerald Buffet website, it very well could be "Ottawa's Largest Chinese Buffet". The buffet area is vast, it helps to do a tour before grabbing your plate!
The food here is good, as far as buffets go(I'm not usually a buffet-type person), but it's Chinese, which makes it extra tasty in my opinion! Lots of sweet and sour dishes, rice, guy ding and all of the other typical Chinese dishes.
The buffet is a bargain, but deals on take-out and delivery are also offered. You can also order dinners in the restaurant, if you don't want to eat from the buffet. There is something here for everyone!
