What Lambert Borer likes about Shanloon Restaurant:
This is hands down the best Chinese food restaurant in Pembroke/Petawawa. The food is your typical greasy fair but the flavors are so delicious and the buffet has so many choices. Love love love! View all feedback. What Harry E doesn't like about Shanloon Restaurant:
Located about 20 minutes from Petawawa, the Shanloon is the local Chinese buffet. Food was hot, tasty and abundant, exactly what you would expect from a Chinese buffet. Service was excellent. View all feedback.

Despite mixed reviews, Shanloon Chinese Buffet offers an average dining experience. The food quality ranges from stale and subpar to delicious flavors and meaty chicken balls. The buffet selection is decent, although some dishes lacked flavor. The atmosphere is described as dark and in need of a renovation, but the staff are friendly and provide excellent service. The restaurant overlooks the water, but the view is obstructed by tall grass and children playing nearby. Overall, Shanloon is a convenient choice for a quick meal or buffet experience, with room for improvement in terms of food quality and ambiance.

Was given time slot for Christmas Eve pick up, waited over an hour and half for pick up. No apology, no explanation, no compensation. Absolutely ridiculous.

A staple of the Pembroke experience, Shanloon had been a part of my life (and many others) over the last twenty years or so.
