Review from Derek L.

I had the buffet, and I give this place a 4/5. The location is good, real close to the casino, you don't have to go outside. The food is great as well, lots of choice (not as much as mandarin or other buffets however), and they quality of the food is good. Not spectacular, but good. The price as well is reasonable, fair for what they provide.
I didn't give a 5/5 due partially to service, although it wasn't bad... and also overall food quantity (options to choose from).
If you're looking for somewhere to eat at Fallsview, this is one of the best options. I would really recommend this place.

9/7/2011 1 Check-in Here
Was looking to eat quick without having to venture out into the pouring rain.
Pros: Cheap Buffet, You can have a meal quick.
Cons: Food isn't terrible but it is really sub par. Service is mediocre.
It seems like it should have a better view, maybe it does during the day but at night you're really looking out into nothing. -

Good price ($20 for the buffet), good location (Fallsview Casino), poor service, below average food quality.
You know the quality of the food is below average when my wife asked me what my favourite was and I said the tea. The tea was GREAT, I could drink that blend all day long.
We had a very nice window table. For the buffet you pay first (good thing). The menu items were varied and looked good. Most were colder than they should be, lacked flavor and were very bland. Nothing special.
The service was slow and inattentive. I got up to get our water and soda refilled myself.
I would never go there again. -

Ah my mother HAD to get Chinese food at Niagara Falls. I still don't know why it was a must.
Anyways, the food here is average. Being a buffet, there were a good number of choices - meats and veggies of all types. The quality of the food was mediocre; let's say for some it was Chinatown worthy, while others wouldn't have made the cut at a Panda Express.
What knocks down another star is the poor service. We went at a pretty busy hour, and were placed near a window (probably because we could speak Mandarin), albeit one at a slightly greater distance from the buffet stands. Thus, our rate of water refills was REALLY slow. I was parched for most of it, despite even raising my hand to get a refill. It was ridiculous, to say the least.
Overall, not worth the money we spent to eat there. And mother, when you go to Niagara Falls, please be open to something that we can't cook at home as well. -

We were a party of 9 including 4 kids. We opted for a la cart as we were suspicious of the buffet.
The menu had enough variety. We ordered a Peking duck which my we liked, mapo tahu was tasty and the stir fry bok choi was good as well. The rest was so, so the beef rib pepper was very strong and overwhelming.
Service was mediocre. We had to remind the staff 3 times where parts of our order was: drinks, order of white rice and where a particular dish was.
They are a kid friendly place!!! That is always a plus in my book. -

I dined here because The Grand Buffet didn't allow kids. It was a great choice.
This restaurant is served by full chinese staff, something I only see in California. I opted for the dinner buffet ($20 for PAC members). The ala cart prices were pretty high (mostly $15 and up).
The variety of dishes was impressive, quality is good. There are 3 booths for the food. The main booth houses the hot food. There was a good variety of rice / noodles, chicken (stew, fried), pork (incl HK roast pork ribs, spicy ribs), beef, seafood, tom yam, 2 soups. There was also siew mai (dim sum) and steamed white bun.
The cold section is pretty weird. I have not seen most of the dishes before. I believe they are some authentic China style dishes. The dishes aren't really scary like intestines, but its side dishes (all cold) i have never seen before. The only dish I could associate with was stew hard boiled egg with toufu. It was prepared dry and cold. Weird.
The dessert table was great. A lot of chinese style jello, mango pudding (v nice), herbal jelly ( a bit tasteless), egg tart (nice! bitesize) and chinese almond cookies.
The buffet came with drinks like juices, chinese tea, soft drinks and cold soy milk.
It is the best chinese buffet I have ever had in N.A. The flare isn't exactly like the good chinese restaurants but its really good for buffet.
For $20, I may go back for lunch ($15) tomorrow. *The service is very good too. -

Chicken sushi? When we asked to have it re-cooked the waiter took it into the kitchen, brought it back out, still cold and pink, and lied that it had been re-cooked. Don't be fooled by fancy uniforms and insincere smiles.
