I am a fun of Chinese Food. I could say this is one of my fave cuisine. I am a little bit critical with the taste. We tried this buffet recently, but didn't exceed my expectation. Some of their menu could be compared to Quality Food, or Fairway's fast food menu. The taste wasn't that great. Not so many selections compared to Shanghai buffet. I thought it was dinner and much more expensive. I expected more selections, unfortunately they only have few items on their buffet corner. Not so many desserts. No ice cream. No sushi which I could usually see on Chinese buffet. I cannot remember if they have fresh vegetables on the menu, anyway I hadn't have one. Drinks are not free or included to buffet price, which is so sad. We ordered a jug of ice tea which taste like water according to my kids. I concured to what they told me when I tasted it. The jug is not instagrammable, it doesn't match the restaurants aura Some Chinese buffet have unlimited free drinks when you pay for buffet. Their website looks organized and beautiful to look at. I expected so much. I think I wouldn't be back. Vegetarian options: There are veggies Parking: A lot of parking space.
After hearing many raves about the new restaurant in town, I was ready to write a great review. I took this picture, everything looked delicious, until my friend bit into a tainted chicken ball. She spit it into a napkin and couldn't finish the dish. We got the waitress's attention and told her that the chicken was rotten. She took the plate and returned to tell us that there wasn't anything wrong with it. Huh? How could she come to that conclusion, without tasting the food. No money was taken off the barely touched food, so, needless to say, I won't be recommending this place, nor will I be returning.
I've been having an odd craving for buffet Chinese food and kept wanting to try this new place out! Driftwood is a chain buffet restaurant on Vancouver Island with Nanaimo being it's 4th location. It opened earlier this year and I've heard many great things about it... So here we are! We got here shortly after they opened for lunch on a snowy Sunday. It was half full of people and after we sat down, more people streamed in. A nice spacious seating area. Onto the food! They had a good selection of food, but refilling the items was a bit delayed. Food was fresh and above average quality for buffets, I was surprised. The lunch buffet is $19.95 for ages 13+, and included dim sum. Dim sum was as expected, but not bad for being in a steamer for a long time. I really enjoyed the Singaporean rice noodles, chicken wings, and butter shrimp. Jello was a bit bland, but I like how the portions for dessert are bite-sized, easier to gauge how much I can eat after stuffing myself on the main food items! Overall the food tasted authentic, although a bit salty. Staff were friendly and helpful.
We arrived at the beginning of the supper buffet, and we're not disappointed. As far as buffets go, the food was top tier and the non-pork options I'm Jewish were quite significant. This is now my favourite Chinese buffet in Nanaimo. Thanks to all!
We went to try the new restaurant that was apparently fabulous in Campbell River and it was not great at all. We were seated without menus for the first 17mins, given water at around the same time but still no offer of a menu. Two other tables came in after us and were served before we finally got menus. The green tea was served in a regular pot but cold and in a non-authentic tea bag that wouldn’t steep due to the temp. There was no buffet option offered this day likely due to a lack of staff and covid sadly and when we went to order the 1 person meal they were out of 2 of the 3 things we wanted almond chicken and chicken balls. One server was fine, friendly and apologized for the service but the hostess was unfriendly & unprofessionally dressed ina red pullover hoodie and tights without a crack of a smile. We definitely will not go back but also will not recommend this venue. The only thing we thought was ok was some of the decor. We left and found better service at a Nanaimo staple.
Been here a couple of times for delivery order. Have seen the robot take away server totally cool! A pump futuristic chinese cuisine at its best!
Nanaimo newest Chinese restaurant and buffet has finally open after 3 years of setting up. Tonight I tried their dinner buffet to see how it stacked up against Hong Kong house and Shanghai in town. Dinner buffet is $27.95 for adults or see my photos for other prices. The dinning room and restaurant is beautifully done up. The service is also better than your typical Asian restaurant. They were attentive, friendly and the bus boys did a great job cleaning up. The food is slightly above average in quality but the deep fried food could use less batter. The selection is similar to Shanghai but less than Hong Kong house. Quick update: We tried the weekend dim sum lunch buffet. There were 8 dim sum items offered. Best was the steam shrimp dumpling and the worst was the 3 different types of Sui Mi pork, beef, seafood. The dim sum is not on par with the real dim sum restaurants 2/5. The cost of quality dim sum is likely an issue for them, so they cost cutting shows in the dim sum . The rest of the buffet is good 5/5, but overall today I scored them 4/5.
Great buffet selection, lots to choose from and friendly service. Delicious menu items with generous portions, great for sharing!
Dim sum with regular Chinese food, everything is really tasty. They also have tofu options. Definitely recommend Kid-friendliness: They have booster seats Parking: Lots of parking because it's near a strip mall Wheelchair accessibility: Lots of room to maneuver
I'm surprised to read the negative Reviews. My granddaughters loved the robot. But most importantly the food was great the buffet was constantly replenished everything was fresh and hot. I can't believe how the staff hustles in this restaurant excellent customer service very friendly.. Definitely will go again
