We went because we had a coupon and had passed by this place many times.
We should of done some research. We walked in and gave the coupon and instantly the tone changed. We were then told cash only. We questioned this as the coupon did not say that.
Reasons for a 1 star are:
1) All my «Hot» food was cold, not warm… COLD
2) The soft serve ice cream is out of a Margarita machine… not exactly ice cream then…
3) My partners cheese cake had sat out so long it was now multiple shades of colour.
4) My brownie was so stale it snapped in half.
5) I tried to get roast beef, if was too raw so I asked for well done. She threw it on a grill with tons of shrimp on it. The beef was touching the shrimp. I am deadly allergic to fish. I told her this and so she just moved it half an inch further away.
6) Not one employee smiled.
7) I now have food poisoning and this was the only place I ate today.
8) The chocolate fountain was not on.
9) Most of the meat was all fat and grissol
10) Items like chicken balls had almost no meat in it at all.
11) Spring rolls had almost nothing in them they were cold as well.
12) This place charges at regular price close to Mandarin prices. No where near as nice atmosphere, décor or quality.
I would avoid this place at all costs.
I hope a health inspector goes in soon.

My family and I have been to a lot of buffets, and this one is definitely one of our favourite! We always come here for someone’s birthday or for a family gathering. Great selection for everyone, from seafood to meats to sushi to the salad bar. And the dessert options! I couldn’t get enough of the chocolate fountain, the wide variety of cakes, and the chocolate mousse. We will definitely keep coming back.

Don’t let the modern look of the exterior façade or the inside layout fool you. The food here is pure and unrepentant garbage. Even the most foolproof of dishes are done wrong — be it stale, burnt, dried out, or seasoned with who-knows-what. There’s simply no attention to quality in any way.
For a big buffet experience stick with Mandarin. They do it right.

We came here because we got a 2 for 1 coupon in the mail.
When we came in we were told cash only and we had to buy a drink.
The food was okay. Some of the meats where a bit dry.
Sushi was not bad fresh.
Lots of shrimp .
Desert was great lot of cakes and fruits.
A bit pricy I think .
If your not using a coupon.
They even have a soft ice cream machine and cones now that was cool.

Friday lunch — $ 14.99
Fair price. Selection and presentation was decent. Unfortunately, they don’t take DEBIT. WTF? Seriously? It’s 2015. They directed me to the ATM in their lobby, which charges $ 1.50 transaction fee.
I would return only if they got debit payment.

Food is whatever, old and cold and greasy and certainly unhygienic. Chefs that work there are full of filth (and definitely illegal workers).
i went there only once and i hated it so much that i just stood up and left. on my way out a couple tables next to me had some sort of issue where the staff was accusing the guests for «stealing food». they were being given airport like luggage security check. looking for some noodles out of their purses, or half piece of cookie wrapped in a tissue paper.
the point is you do not have to humiliate guests and respect their privacy. if there really is food theft then simply ask politely for an extra person meal (instead of humiliating guests in front of the entire world).
lastly, i hate to eat at a place where someone is constantly watching me eat. hate their staff who looks at every guest as a food thief.
i do not like Chinese food to begin with and this place totally turned me off after what i saw the other table.

I went with a group on a Monday night at 7 pm. The place was pretty busy considering it was a weekday. The staffs were friendly and filled our glasses with water quite often but there was no ice in the water… I started with the cold seafood section and had the shrimp, muscles and baby octopus. The shrimp’s texture was off and the smell wasn’t quite right. It tasted ok with the overly thick seafood sauce so I ate it anyway. The muscles were good. I tried the baby octopus but i think it was raw so it wasn’t edible after the first one. I then went on to the hot section. They had a good selection but a lot of the meat looked old or like it was sitting under the heat lamp all day or maybe even leftovers from another day… The food from the grill was really good and seemed fresh. The fruits (strawberries, cantaloupe, honeydew melon, watermelon, grapes, pineapple) were all perfectly ripe and the desserts were delicious!

I have been here a few times over the past and the weekend is always (in my opinion) the best time to come because I think the staff are more on their toes with serving the customers. lol Anyway, the food is good. Nothing too amazing. Much as you would expect a usual buffet to taste and the selections are pretty okay. Plus the place is big so its good to bring a large party if you want to dine with them compared to other places I’ve been.

Wow too bad this place has such low reviews? I had a wonderful experience here. Staff were extremely friendly and prompt and took plates away with impeccable timing, providing napkins and drink refills as soon as needed. I was really impressed with the selection of seafood! Seafood everything! Clams, mussels, oysters, clams, crab claws, surf clams, shrimp in every which way shape and for — baked, boiled, raw, salad. HUGE SELECTION!
Definitely got my monies worth and I’m a happy camper.

Had a team lunch there, we were a group of 12 people. Good food. Staff is very courteous. They have ample variety in sea food and in desserts. Overall a good place. May visit again.

Terrible!!!
I’m not usually one to comment on places however for this one I feel I should. My boyfriend and I moved to sauga 7 months ago and we seen this place haven’t made it there till tonight.
So we actually had a buy one get one free as soon as we walked in the guy host said hello and I seen the sign «if you have a coupon senior discount tell us before we seat you» so we told him and bam insta rude… Suddenly no customer service skills.
Now the food. It was cold it was over cooked it was not better then mandarin by any means. I am really disappointed. we did not even finish our food.
I do not recommended this place to anyone.
PS gave it 1 star only because we had to give it something so I could post but I honestly give it no stars

Spend the extra $ 3 and go to The Mandarin. Seriously.
I’m actually surprised there are so many good reviews. I can’t believe it could be this bad the day we went just by fluke.
The food was very stale and obviously very low quality (it was pretty gross and I had sampled almost everything to try to find something good! And I’m seriously not a picky eater!)
Granted we went on a Monday at 730 and it was dead. But think about it. Good Chinese take out tastes good the next day, even cold!
They clearly had no regard for the FIFO rule (first in first out) we saw them pile new noodles on top of old noodles lol. You know how you can tell when stuff has been sitting there? Just dry looking. Everything was like that. If it’s dead why put out so much food so it just sits there? Also all the bread was HARD.
So anyways I was the only one at my table who had the sushi (maki). And yay. I got sick! I told the waitress and she just gave me a blank stare (lol). They were also really sketchy about it being my friends birthday. Like: «You have to come to the front and pay cash and have ID» in a way that I felt like we were trying to rip them off because they advertise free dinner on your birthday?
So bottom line: old stale sub par food, probably health code violations that’ll make you sick, and unhelpful, unfriendly staff.
Seriously it’s like $ 2 more to go to Mandarin, where if the food is gross and you get sick they won’t just stare at you. Don’t go here.

I had lunch at this restaurant yesterday and was quite disappointed. I like «Spoonful by Imperial Buffet» in Brampton; however the food and ambience at this location was inferior. Surprisingly, there was relatively little Chinese food available in this Chinese Buffet. I have had much better Chinese food elsewhere. There is a large dessert selection available for those with a craving for sugar.
My seniors buffet cost a reasonable $ 14.40. I also ordered a pot of tea. I was shocked when the bill arrived and I was charged $ 2.50 for the tea. Had I know that, I would have just had water.
The interior design of this restaurant is getting a bit old and dated. It is not as appealing as the design of their Brampton location.

Not exactly the best Chinese buffet in town
Imperial buffet has a good name but definitely isn’t the best. The place itself is rather large and located in the corner of this plaza. The place inside isn’t too shabby. The dining areas all surround this giant atrium filled with about 6 – 7 buffet tables and quite the dessert buffet table. Menu offerings include Americanized Chinese food.
As far as hot food goes, you’ll find your favorite Westernized Chinese staples like General Tsos Chicken, Beef w Broccoli, Fried Rice, and Noodles. There are some odd items included as well such as pizza, mashed potatoes, roast beef, and others, but they pop up every so often at other places like Mandarin as well. They have some pretty good roasted chicken and fried items. There is also a sushi bar that churns out some basic california rolls and shrimp sushi. There is also supposed to be a teriyaki grill, but everything is pre-made in the kitchen and then just rolled out.
They do have a decent salad bar with lots of side salad and cold dish options. The soups are actually really good here too. The center of the buffet area has a wide variety of cakes, pies, and custards with ice cream off to the side. I don’t venture around the sweets much, but I was a little impressed.
For those saying it’s like Mandarin, I don’t think it comes close (though some Mandarins are kinda crappy…) The place itself isn’t bad for an Asian buffet in the area, and they do have a nice variety of items, but much better places are to be had at a lower price point as well.

Buffet! Yes! Imperial Buffet… uhhh ok? My family is a big buffet kinda of family. and their favorite is Imperial Buffet… Why you ask? King Crab legs (which you can get at most buffets) and because the staff knows them so well that they call my dad by name. If your talking selection and variety at Imperial. it has the basic genre of all you can eat soups, salads, sushi, grill table and a mixture of pseudo-Canadian Chinese foodstuffs on the warm tables and a variety of ice creams and boxed desserts. Quality of the food is average fast food Chinese. mostly deep fried or sauteed in a wok. The service is good and friendly (since they know my family) they always accommodating. If I had to choose… I would go there… only if I had to with my family…

This is a decent buffet, lots of choices and the price is right. The design of the buffet could be a little better but hey, I’m not there every day so i guess i can walk around from section to section. I have been here several times and its hit and miss on the quality once in a while so if they would get that under controll it would head up a few notches on my list. I have been there some days when the food is spectacular and a couple times when you think they are training new chefs. Anyway the good outweighs the bad and its a decent place to go as a group.

It’s Mandarin Part Deux. I find the food slightly better than Mandarin but not by much. Don’t know if that means anything though. Its standard mass produced food and you can expect Manchu Wok quality. On a plus side, they have a chocolate fountain for all you chocolate lovers. I’m neither a fan of chocolate or Manchu Wok, hence the low rating.
Service: limited as it’s a «get your own buffet» ²⁄₅
Ambiance: same as Mandarin 2.5÷5
Food: 2.5÷5 (extra star for chocolate fountain)

What happened to this place!!! It used to be quite good for «Chinese buffet» standards… But I came recently and it seemed that EVERYTHING has deteriorated in quality.
The sushi was hard, crab legs weren’t fresh, roast chicken was dry… Disappointing.
