Joy Luck Buffet

Buffet style food with lots of choices but also lots of fill in items counting as those choice. The food was good but not great with average normal dishes. Sometimes there was difference between batches but all bins stayed hot and full. Sushi makes up an entire section of the buffet so if you don't eat it like me that part is a waist but others at our table said it was ok. If you want to have the coveted crab legs it is an extra $6.99 per person ($3.99 for kids) for everyone at your table no matter what. So since we had a party of 8 (4 adults and 4 kids) that is an extra $44.00 if we wanted it at all. Then on top of that we were told when asked about pricing that drinks (sodas and teas) were included but when we got the bill we were charge $3.99 a piece so another $32.00 added to our bill and management refused to take it off or even consider a discount as good faith for a new customer. And the biggest issue of it all to us is that kids are charged by their height and it is not cheap. So if you have a tall 10 year old who doesn't eat much be prepared to pay for them as an adult.

Went there on Thanksgiving because we were visiting from Virginia. The food was good and they kept everything replenished. Really huge selection of dishes so bring your appetite. Only complaint was the sashimi was not replenished enough and was empty for a long time. That was my main target.

Do NOT get a seat near where they put the dirty dishes and clear the tables. We were seated there and it was so noisy and chaotic that it detracted from the meal and conversation

Buffets are all about managing your expectations. If you're not expecting awesome sushi & Chinese...then you'll be happy.

If you're looking for quantity over quality okay...the food is just that. All in all, a fair amount of variety where quantity is king.

Folks are nice and the place itself has been fixed up & looking good.

It's mediocre all you can eat Chinese food including sushi and sashimi.

The servers are not very friendly.

The food is mass produced and inconsistent in quality. But there is enough variety that we did find things we enjoyed.

I do not recommend the crab, i was pretty excited for it but it seemed tasted quite fishy tasting.

Also, there was an overhead fluorescent light that kept flickering. It was annoying and when others patrons pointed it out to the server they just nodded and laughed.

Fabulous Variety. Really Really good food. The staff was very helpful and friendly. My friends and i come often and thoroughly enjoy it.
i would give it a 5 star.

There is not many options here.... There's two places to get food from and I tried a good amount of the meats and I didn't like any of them. The overall vibe is really weird, the seating we got sat at was by the food tables so it felt like everybody was like all in our space constantly.

The waitress was quick to put the Check on the table while we were eating reaching her arm across our table to put it on the other side of me, and interrupted a conversation to have me hand it to her when my card was in it. There is signs everywhere saying don't take more then you can eat which makes it awkward trying a bunch of food and not liking it and looking like you're just wasting food and getting looks.

My friends stomach was hurting before we even got out of the door. None of the food I got really tasted good except the lo mein. My friend said some of the food tasted like it shouldn't. The fried rice was ok too. Probably won't be coming back which is a shame since we were so excited to visit.

Food is tasty and many different dishes. Soups are hot like they should be. Amazing raw fish and seaweed Salads. Love this place some Ont 20 mins away from my house.

This is an extensive buffet!! Lots of Chinese choices, including 3 soups, many stir fries, and at least 2 different kinds of shrimp. No beer/wine license.

There is also sushi and sashimi at dinner. It was mostly cooked stuff, tuna and yellowtail. Not much variety. Dim sum options were there like potstickers. My family loved the ribs. My favorite was the sautéed mushrooms (button) but I noticed a big quality difference in the freshness of the mushrooms between batches.

The atmosphere is loud, there are kids running around and sampling buffet items. They did not charge for our babies.

For the price, I'd say this place is worth a try. You'll have to decide for yourself whether you like buffet format and the large spacious, noisy environment. We got there at 5pm, I guess it gets more crowded later.

Also, I ordered tea and expected to receive a pot for the table but I got a large mug with a teabag hanging out of it.

Returned to try more options and had terrific Garlic Shrimp, excellent sticky rice, but oily, overdone, whole body fried shrimp. Many other great choices and more hits than misses. Still a great value and good quality. We were impressed again with the seafood.

So impressed by last week's visit we returned today! This time was just as good, and much busier after word of mouth reviews spread.
I'm not normally a sushi eater, mainly because I don't care for the seaweed wrap most are made with. So happy they had some with soy wrap-thank you! Sashimi with salmon and another with a white fish were tasty like last time.
The beautiful fresh peel and eat shrimp are stars of the show, don't miss them!
Char Siu Rib was good but a bit on the sweet side. Chicken with Cream Sauce was similar to that of Honey Walnut Shrimp. General Tso's Chicken a bit spicy but also good.
Several desserts also nice. A standout for me was a Banana Pudding that used Almond cookies in place of the traditional vanilla wafers. Nice variation!
Still looking forward to trying still more new items next time!
