For those complaining about the price, have you eaten at McDonalds lately ? For the variety and the amount of selections you get the lunch price around $30 is dirt cheap, unless you are accustomed to soup kitchen at the Salvation Army. The food is pretty well standard fare for Chinese buffet in a city like Kelowna. read more

My husband and I were in Kelowna to visit some friends (we met at the halfway point, aka Kelowna). When his friend mentioned they were in the mood for Chinese or Japanese food, my mind went to the Asian Pear Buffet. I had never been to this restaurant before and had no idea what to expect other than they would have Chinese food, and it would be a buffet. Turns out, Asian Pear has Chinese, Japanese and Western buffet food. We walked in and were seated promptly to an open table, though I did find out later they did reservations, at least for large groups. Drinks are separate from the buffet food price (the food price was reasonable). My husband ordered a beer and was less than impressed with the size; they gave him a can of beer for the price of a pub pint. I didn't have the heart to tell him that Asian establishments are probably not known for delivering on great value for alcoholic beverages. I was impressed with almost everything else at the buffet. The plates were on the smaller side, but it didn't matter because I could simply get seconds and thirds. The staff are great at clearing your plates quickly. They had a good selection of Chinese, Western and Japanese (sushi) food. I was impressed by the selection for Chinese foods; I saw Sweet and Sour soup, lots of fried rice and noodles and even coconut buns in the dessert section! I liked most of the stuff I tried, expect for the custard dessert they had...it tasted cough syrup sweet. My only caution is to not order the canned alcoholic drinks... you'd probably get more bang for your buck if you went to a pub after the buffet. I think this is a great place in Kelowna if you are looking to satisfy your Chinese/Japanese cravings and if you are into buffet portions. Staff are efficient and friendly. Would definitely go back the next time I'm in Kelowna. read more

Asian Pear Buffet - Interior - Buffets Near Me - Kelowna, British Columbia

The sushi tasted like I licked the deck of a wharf. Yuck. Way too expensive. Front desk host was not welcoming. Eat at home if you can.

The food has gone down hill since it first opened. Prices have gone up( understandable) . Since the buffet 88 closed it has not been challenged. Service is still okay. Nothing much changed inside. Maybe new owners needed? read more

The quality of food served at Asian Pear has gone downhill considerably. My husband and I used to order from here quite a bit, but the last time we did, we were very disappointed. Everywhere they can cheap-out, they do. The shrimp used to be bigger, now they are small and tasteless. As I mentioned, we have ordered from Asian Pear for years, and we know what they used to be. Over the years, they have cut here, and cut there until the quality and taste is just not there any longer. We have chosen to no longer order from Asian Pear or their newer restaurant, Yum Yum Tree, as we feel it's just a futile waste of money. And you sure don't want to be feeling that way when you look forward to ordering out now and again. read more

Once again, excellent food and great service Prime rib was perfect and my wife loves the shrimp and crab read more

First time having Asian Pear. This review is for their takeout. The buffet food and takeout food are totally different. After said that, I was told that they put more effort in cooking the food if you order take out instead. Prices are reasonable. Kelowna doesn't have a lot of Chinese food options. So I am not going to be harsh on them. I am giving this place three stars because I am a picky eater and being from Vancouver, I have had way better Chinese food. This is a Canadian Chinese restaurant. The food was ok. They don't have the fancy stuff that you find at Chinese restaurants in Vancouver. We ordered a couple of Chinese dishes to share. - Ginger Beef - Stirfry Veggies - Lemon Chicken - Chow mein - Sweet and Sour Chicken and etc. We had it delivered to us. Our meal also came with a Thank-you card. That was really sweet from the owner. B's parents were surprised that the delivery person was an employee of the restaurant and not the owner. Before Covid, the owner would deliver the food. Living in a small community almost everyone knows each other. I suggest ordering take out and not go in for their buffet. The quality is very different. read more

Since Grand buffett 88 closed, I came here for the first time and was pleasantly surprised by the quality of food and diversity of selection, Of course, I am judging based on Kelowna standard. There really isn't a lot of high quality chinese restaurant in Kelowna and as far as buffet goes, this place is a solid 3.5. What tipped it over to 4 is the cleanliness of the restaurant and great service. read more

IT HAS MSG!!!!! If you don't want MSG stay away! We went there because it advertised no MSG. I get a bad reaction with MSG,,,,,headache and irregular heart rate for over 30 hours. It usually wakes me up around 2-3 am. Oct. 12 at 5pm we ate the Buffet and at 2am I was awake with an irregular heart beat. It lasted 32 hours. I wrote to the Asian Pear the next day through Yelp messaging.....still waiting for an answer. This place can't be trusted. Frank from Ontario Canada. read more

This was my first time in Kelowna and my wife wanted to eat Steak for Lunch. As we were driving towards the highway we stumbled upon this restaurant and saw "buffet". We decided to detour and head here and it definitely was not a disappointment. Their buffet had a variety of Asian food ranging from wonton soup, noodles, stir fried vegetables and chicken, pork, crispy chicken and sushi. One thing it did lack was the seafood section. We thought that they would also have crabs and lobsters but perhaps during lunch time they do not serve those dishes. I'd recommend coming here if your hunger level is at a high and you want a decently priced buffet ($16.99 per person) . read more

Visited Asian Pear last Friday. Food was cold and tasted like it had been there for a long time. Nobody picked up dirty dishes until asked to do so. Person seating customers was very cold and unfriendly. When paying the bill found out that the price had gone up although there was no notice given to customers about this. Totally unfriendly atmosphere and poor quality food. read more

staff was friendly ambiance was good Food was horrible did not taste fresh, definitely gone down hill . I will never return read more

You get what you pay for. This isn't an upscale buffet considering the price, but they do a good job at providing a varieties of affordable Asian dishes (mostly Chinese and Japanese). The foods are not really authentic, more like westernize-Asian-foods. I give an extra star for their interior and overall hygiene. It was very clean and the food stations aren't messy like most cheap buffet places. I have been to many dirty Chinese buffets so Asian Pear Buffet really stood out. The seatings are also comfortable, it was a nice experience for me. read more

They literally charge $7.00 for 2 year olds to eat their... disgusting establishment. I'm not sure what kind of backwards thinking this is or how much they expect a toddler to be able to eat, but what an absolutely heartless business. I fine dine all the time and how no problem paying for good food, but for some crappy buffet to charge a toddler when this isn't common practice anywhere in Canada... I'll never eat there again. Can't wait for this business to fail. read more

-----Food----- Big variety of food... all you can eat... has Chinese sushi (not good)... what more do you want? -----Condition----- If the restaurant is reading this... PLEASE INSTALL A SINK IN THE DOORWAY AND MAKE EVERYONE WASH THEIR FUCKING HANDS I don't go to buffets anymore after seeing how many people don't wash their hands and go straight to the food... what the fuck is wrong with people? If you're reading this and YOU don't wash your hands... fuck you. -----Service----- Serve yourself, the fuck do you think this is? -----Cosmetics----- Like a food court at the mall -----Accessibility----- Parking lot read more

Food wasn't bad... was here for a booked birthday... had to call the restaurant to get a waitress to come for our table to take our drink order and that was 11/2 hrs ago and haven't seen waitress since... such poor poor service... will never come back... oh and the waitress seems to hate her job cause I can see her... so disappointing cause it's not cheap to eat out anymore... oh and just got the bill... they added a tip to the total... they don't deserve a tip read more

Was here last week. It is Westernized Asian food with a couple of western selections (roast beef, salads, desserts). Pretty large number of dishes. Place was busy. Facility clean. Service ok. Prices ok but beverages are extra. I'll be back in Kelowna in a couple of months. Going to try other places. If you have hungry teens to feed, bring em here. read more

Ordered takeout December 14th. Food was super yummy. But the lady I dealt with was being an absolute Jerk. She was extremely rude to me over the phone. Wasn't helpful at all and was being super unreasonable and rude when I came to pick up my order read more

Crap. The food was disturbing. Jello was the only passable substance. I would rather just have my dog vomit and bake at 350. read more

Was great, fresh food, delicious, great service, very clean. Good variety of food. Very safe measures during Covid time.

decent buffet if your in the area. if you like food and a lot of it. go here.

Worst place to eat on Kelowna. Never get my money again. Food is over cooked and bland. No selection and way overpriced

Absolute joke of a "restaurant"!!! Lousy service, i feel staff are unhappy.. Really small choice of dishes. Food is not very flavourful or fresh.. all tastes the same. The biggest INSULT to customers is a sign that says you will be charged for what you do not eat!!! I suggest if the food is gross or you are full; throw the remainder under the table in rebellion!! Do not waste your time here, go across the street to 88 Grand a real amazing place and value for your $$$!! read more

We eat at Asian Pear as often as possible. They offer every scrumptious item that we enjoy from North American to Asian, and we always leave wishing we could've eaten more. Their roast is to die for, with mashed potatoes and gravy. Never mind the dry ribs and fried chicken. Yum!! read more

Low quality, salty, "Chinese" buffet (of all you care to eat). For $18.95 per person I would rather eat elsewhere. Saw food picked up off floor by server, rinsed under tap and served. Saw another server pick up buffet food container out of hot water bath and sat it down on top of the food in the container next to it. However......this place is very popular - so it's really up to you. read more

Worst experience. We sat down to eat here but we decided against it after our first couple bites because the food tasted like a wet rag. We Opted not to eat there and upon trying to leave they threatened to call police on us. No one from our party ate but 3 bites before turning in our full plates. Very rude and awful food. read more

It's overall alright for a lunch but not high-quality food by any standards. Sushi selection is not good at all. Staff are cool and friendly though. read more

The quality of this place really took a nosedive. When we first started going there when it opened it was a great place to eat but as the years roll on the food must be the 4th grade on the market. The jello was some watery substance. I also saw food fall on the floor and them just rinsing it and serving it. Garbage food for $19. read more

Food is good enough & convenient on the main Kelowna road. My mother & grandmother loved it because there were lots to choose from. We were full so that means we were happy..lol read more

I loved this place. Good value and very relaxed. Although i have not gone during the covid time.

Many I have spoke to about eating here love it. I gave it a few chances and each and every time I came down with what I believe is food poisoning. Do not eat here if you have food allergies. They mislable foods that on one occasion required me to have to use my Epi-Pen. When staff is asked about what is in the food or how the food was prepared, they can't answer the questions. read more

Can believe this restaurant was rated that low. I came here all the time. I usually dont give five star, but this is rated so low. Not fair

Imagine going to an all inclusive resort in Mexico's buffet. This is what you get here. A huge assortment and all kinds of food. The place looks clean and well maintained. Staff is working hard. I am impressed and I will be back! read more

I have to say, after reading many negative reviews of this place, I was very worried about coming here but I was very pleasantly surprised. The food was mostly fresh and very good. Good service and atmosphere. Plenty of options and variety of choices. Would recommend for a casual dining experience read more

I have been to Asian Pear about 6 times since they opened in Kelowna. They started out pretty good but gradually the quality went in the tank and the service followed. This appears to be a common trend with most Chinese Buffet restaurants we have visited. Our last visit was terrible, food was cold, selection was awful, service was brutal, and the place was starting to look pretty tired. The restroom was filthy! I recommend 88 Buffet if your looking for a good Chinese Buffet in Kelowna. read more

Food was okay, nothing was out of chart. The fish is good tho if you like fish. The service was pretty bad in my opinion. I came in with my 7 months baby and therefore I requested an extra chair so that I can put my car seat on the chair. The server was pretty rude when I asked for the chair and gave me the attitude. read more

Very good food. Comfortable seating. Friendly staff. Fresh food, there is Japanese food.

This is my favourite restaurant in Kelowna, the selection is pretty good and the prices are fair. Really good when you have the kids, no waiting at a buffet! read more

We went for the buffet dinner on Mon. Dec. 3, 2018. The food was ALL COLD....well, very lukewarm. The only good things were thr prime rib, crab legs and the trifle dessert. VERY DISAPPOINTING and a total rip off...nearly $50 for 2 when it so second rate . Even the sweet and sour sauce was horrible...brown in colour and quite vinegar tasting. Yuck. Don't waste your money. read more

Decent food, nothing special or different from other Asian Buffets. Have had better tasting and nicer selection elsewhere.
