Description
A lively, family-friendly buffet in Ottawa serving a wide array of fresh Asian and international dishes with attentive, welcoming staff and thoughtful birthday extras like cakes and keepsake photos. Clean, bright dining rooms, plentiful stations and dessert choices (including sugar-free options) make it great value for families, vegetarians and seniors. Occasional issues include inconsistent takeout quality, some lukewarm plates and varying sushi quality, but overall it’s a dependable spot for celebrations and group dining.

Feedback
I have always enjoyed dining at this restaurant, but I was disappointed with the quality of the takeout food last night. The garlic spare ribs tasted boiled and were sitting in a broth-like liquid instead of a sauce. The wonton soup lacked flavor as well. It might have been due to the late pickup time of 8 PM, but considering the prices, we will likely choose to eat elsewhere in the future.
This is an incredible restaurant! The buffet was delightful, featuring fresh food and a very friendly and courteous staff. For those interested in vegetarian options, just ask, and they will be happy to help you.
The food was incredibly fresh and delicious! Ken and Joyce were fantastic servers, and they even sang "Happy Birthday" to my husband, which was a lovely touch! Thank you! As for dietary restrictions, there were plenty of fruits, vegetables, and sugar-free desserts available.
All the staff were very friendly, attentive and welcoming, especially Ken, our server. Drinks were served quickly and dishes cleared quickly. Lots of options for all 5 family members (aged 5+ . Food was fresh and tasty and atmosphere was bright and lively. The only thing is that I wish kids 6 and under were free (or maybe kids under 40lbs because my 5 yr old barely ate anything and was still half price. Was given a picture magnet for my birthday which was a nice gesture! Will be back!Kid-friendliness: Lots of highchairs and booster seats.
Such a great experience. We had Amy and Emma and they were wonderful!!! We had a lovely birthday for my father. The food choices tonight were great. They had more than they usually do. The service they gave us was better than some fine dining restaurants we frequent.Dietary restrictions: Need more sugar free options
