Floor was dirty. Food lacked taste, not a lot of selection. Service was good nice waitress. Glad it was only 15.95 only had half a plate and I was turned off.

Was looking for a buffet that wasn’t going to be too expensive and came across this restaurant. At $ 19 for the buffet, I wasn’t going to complain. My expectations are never high for a buffet and as I expected the food was nothing spectacular. Not saying it was bad, it’s the same quality I’ve gotten from other smörgåsbord restaurants. However, the service was excellent. My glass was always filled with ice water without having to ask and the dirty plates were taken away promptly. They were very polite as well!

Fast delivery service. I was told on the phone, 40 minutes wait. My food arrived in half the time, the food arrived nice and hot. The szechuan beef arrived nice and crispy and not soggy. Their website could use a update with current prices.

If you like Chinese food don’t go to this buffet. Substandard food, the chow mein was a disgrace. We would never return again. Friendly staff, good service

Food was decent. Buffet moderately priced. Where they lost me is charging $ 2.75 for a CAN of pop. Get bent!

So glade got the flyer in mail. We’ve ordered a dozen times and went to eAt the buffet on Christmas Eve. I’ve tryed a handful of chinese restaurants around trying to find something similar as my favourite back home and this is about As close as I’ve gotten. The wonton soup is up and down with me as I do prefer the beef one back home and this one tends to be up and down, I love it more when the broth is stronger. Could do without rice as I find the steAmed and the chicken fried rather bland(I know what your thinking but again comparing it to back home where it’s flavourful). We usually end up getting chicken balls, sweet and sour pork, chicken chow mein, lemon chicken and switch it up with other things. Again all that is on par and I love it. Comparing the chow mein though again could do without if my boyfriend didn’t love it as I find the sauce in it kind of bland. The one time we tried spring roll i found it rather gross as I hate the chinese spice or whatever it’s called in it that tastes rather like cinnamon so we Both ended up throwing that out. As for the buffet it’s a nice little buffet with all your basics and was rather impressed they had 2 different shrimps, muscles etc. I don’t go for that but my bf and his father loved it and loaded up on those. There dessert side is underwhelming but let’s admit it you don’t go there for dessert. Although something besides premade stuff, puddings and jello would be nice. All in all this is my go to place when I’m craving and can’t make it home. It is rather busy so make sure your there early if you plan on eating in there but for the most part we order in which I prefer

I ordered my meal and when I went to pick it up they had no history of my order. I reorder the same thing in store I was gonna step out for air when I heard the manger tell the cashier make him pay first! Never going back racists

Eh, by the standards of round eye buffets, Szechuan Paramount Restaurant is alright. Yes, the décor is solidly stuck in the 1980s, but the servers are both fast and friendly. The food is that gloopy battered deep fried crap that so many in the West seem to prefer, but you’d know that going in if you’ve ever set foot in one of these Chinese buffet places here in North America. I can cross it off the list now and will be unlikely to return for any reason.

My family has been ordering from and occasionally dining in this restaurant for at least 20 years. I have yet come across a fresher and more abundant Chinese food buffet. The dining area is always clean, tidy and decorated nicely. The food is always well stocked and there are desserts a plenty. The outside of the restaurant and the surrounding area might seem a tad sketchy but it proves that looks can be deceiving! Take-Out is what we do most. They always deliver within a reasonable time and I can’t ever remember not getting exactly what we asked for. Most importantly it always tastes amazing. There is no doubt in my mind that this place deserves 5 stars.

I’m loving my Unilocal app we have eaten at places I never know existed and can fine any kind of food I’m looking for like a Chinese buffet for a late lunch and I was not at all disappointed. The food was good with nice selection even at the end of the lunch buffet. The service was prompt and friendly. The restaurant was nice even the bathroom had a resent face life and was clean. We will be back next time we need a Chinese food fix.

My boyfriend’s family has ordered from this Chinese restaurant for many years. We never dine in, we always do either delivery or take out. The food here is consistent and you get a lot for your money. It’s not overly greasy or tasteless and has good texture. Unbelievably, since we’ve moved to St. Albert, they still deliver to us and the delivery folks are always friendly. Would highly recommend it for particular Chinese food fiends!

I can’t wait until I finally become a senior, because then I can finally get 10% off the buffet at Szechaun Paramount. I like coming here for Chinese food, and I’ve been coming here, since I was a kid. It hasn’t changed all that much, except that the buffet has increased in size significantly. It’s huge, so there’s lots of items to choose from. They have the usual Szechaun items, like ginger beef, spring rolls, deep fried shrimp, rice, noodles, beef & vegetables, and wonton soup. The food is pretty good. A lot of it is greasy, but not overly greasy. I would say the food is somewhat better here than the House of Quon. The restaurant is nice, but not overly fancy. You can come here dressed in jeans or whatever – it’s very casual. I have ordered takeout from here too, and it’s good. You get 10% off, if you pick it up and pay by cash or 5% off, if you pay by debit or credit(I always thought that was kind of unfair). Szechaun Paramount is just a great place to gorge on some decent Chinese food.
