This isn't a fancy place, but I promise you, that's ok!While some items looked more appetizing than others, there was something for everyone. The only thing I found disappointing were the spring rolls as they were pretty flavorless. For the price, lunchtime is the better value so I recommend going then. Solid 3/5. read more

My biggest guilty pleasure in life is a good Chinese Buffett. I've been to quite a few in the course of my life and though this one is pretty standard, for two people it cost almost $30! Now call me spoiled but that's a little steep. Good: selection (and taste) of food, service was consistent (lacking a little bedside manner). Bad: the price, dated atmosphere, cramped seating. read more

Typical story, when they first opened they were great. Fast forward to the quality falling off followed by the cleanliness then the service. Don't bother. read more

After returning to the Pacific Northwest...a few old friends and I had a craving for some chinese food. We had almost forgot about this gem in Vancouver. Luckily, we remembered where it was located, before we had gone to another eating establishment. The restaurant looked like it always had. It had typical buffet decor and the food was as tasty as always. There was a good selection, the rice was appropriately sticky, and the main dishes were consistently delicious. For a quick stop or a long meal, this out of the way spot is one of the better buffet spots in the PDX/Vancouver area. I highly recommend this restaurant to those who like unpretencious and tasty chinese food. read more

My mother took me here one day, and I wasn't expecting much. After all, Chinese buffets are not typically known for quality. But this place blew my pre-conceived notions out of the water. They boast a large selection of everything from sushi to orange chicken, chow mein to crab puffs, and of course ice cream (although they only had vanilla flavor when I went, it was still delicious.) I also like their soups, which are egg drop and sweet and sour. Price was right, and the place seemed pretty clean. I've gone back twice since. read more

Corner NE 78th Avenue & NE13th Street I can't say that I've ever had a low 3 before, but my experience here left me no other option. CCB is OK and that's about it. It's not bad... It's not great, but it will definitely sate your appetite. There are a lot of options to choose from off their buffet. Yep... all the usuals are there: BBQ Pork with that neon red dye on the outside, General Tso's Chicken, Kung Pao Chicken, Sesame Beef, Beef with Broccoli, Orange Chicken, Lemon Chicken, Chicken Fried Rice, Pork Fried Rice, Cream Cheese Wontons, Pork Dumplings, Teriyaki Chicken Skewers, etc. There's so much more available including Sushi and a Salad Bar to construct a regular lettuce type salad with like 3 dressings available. They have what kind of looks like Cole Slaw but is actually a Crab Salad. It's a little rich so make sure not to grab too much. None of the items really stood out except for the Sesame Beef and only because it sparked my curiosity... it tasted as if a McDonald's had deep fried and delivered it to them. It was pretty good actually... almost addicting. This buffet was about as complete as any Chinese Buffet could possibly be mirroring many buffets in the great Las Vegas... I'd recommend coming drunk, but not so drunk you disturb other diners! Service was really nice, but virtually non existent at first. I really wanted my server to come around at a couple of points to provide a refill, but she was busy speaking Cantonese to her coworkers. As time drew on and closer to my closure the she started making herself more available which was nice. Bussing was superb and every time I came back from the buffet area my previous plate was taken. The place gets pretty busy so I'd say the best time to arrive would be right when they open at 11 a.m. so that it is not as crowded and all the food is fresh as can be. Decor and palate is a bit dated. Check out my table top: http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/canton-chinese-buffet-vancouver?select=efI-ID9N8odSUhXrIzIlCg#SwMjpe7rEIU1bAInwNIP6w If they're not going to invest in new tables then they should at least entertain the idea of Table Cloths! There is plenty of parking available in their dedicated lot with lots of Disabled Parking and two easy to access entrance/exits I felt really alienated while I was here being forced to listen to the table of Hispanics sitting near me speak nothing but Spanish to each other as well as the gals working speaking Cantonese to each other. The Chinese didn't really bother me so much as it only added to the authenticity of the type of restaurant I was in, but the other only accentuated one of the main reasons I can't stand Southern California. read more

See all

I have randomly stopped in. Each time I'm impressed with a different aspect. I'm a salad person, some eat at restaurants based on bread/salsa, I rate on the salad. They offer a simple green salad area which is my magnet. Tonight made me review this place... Why? We showed up after the crowd on Saturday,9 pm, and while leaving we witnessed the cooks snapping fresh beans. I walked into the restroom, the Asian cook was washing her hands! And not because I was in the restroom, she was doing this when I opened the door. BIG PLUS!!! The food... Having several dozen choices is a plus. They rotate small servings on the buffet so that it is ALWAYS fresh. Never once have I felt the food was old or that the place was dirty. They even wipe the walls your kids touch at the booth tables. I watched it happen! read more

We have ate here several time all great food . The only thing I don t like about the resturant is not enough workers . read more

WARNING FOOD POISONING!!! This place is no good. I took my family here and we all ended up very sick. We all puked for days after eating this so called food. The service is lousy and the food is poison. My baby was very sick too. Do not eat here unless you want to be sick. I will never go here again. This was the worst eating experience I have ever had. WARNING dirty food handling practices. DANGER__ FOOD POISONING-FOOD POISONING-FOOD POISONING-FOOD POISONING read more

Went for the lunch buffet. Good variety and food was replenished regularly. The food was flavorful and most was cooked well. The fried calamari was the only item I couldn't eat. The buffet had choice of soups, a salad and dessert bar plus soft serve ice cream. Good food for a good price! read more

They have great food choices. I know their green beans are fresh, because I've seen them sorting them. The kids love the variety and the fact they can sample different things they wouldn't normally order. The people are very nice and helpful as well. read more

Ate here for the first time yesterday and now I have food poisoning. Had to call in to work because I can't stop pooping. Eat here at your own risk! read more

I was so shocked by the food here... everything is so fresh and amazing! When ever I ask for them to put more of something out they get right on it, I have never been to a Chinese buffet I liked until I came here. I am a returning customer and will always tell friends to try it out. read more

Buffet was full, drinks were plenty, great variety of dishes, price was reasonable...would return again

Suspected food poisoning. My family has gone here for over 9 years and today both my wife and I both got sick within hours of eating here. This place is going down hill really fast We will never go here to eat again. We also plan on contacting the Health Department Monday Morning report this. read more

Ehh wasn't impressed with the food. The robots staff waitresses aren't very nice either.

This place really sucks. Panda Express makes better food. Food is dry, some is rotten and don't be surprised if you find hair in your food. The service is terrible and the waitresses are rude. Don't waste your time and money on this place. read more

Guys, please don't eat here. The breading was stale on any breaded thing I tried, the crab wantons had about a teaspoon of crab, the meat dissolved before you could even chew it. Noodles had no flavor, ice cream was watery and grainy. And the servers all looked annoyed and ornery, lol. I wish the Dragon King across the street had buffet for dinner as well as much because their food is SIGNIFICANTLY tastier and better quality. I will say the egg drop soup and the sushi here were good. read more

45$ for 3 people to have stomach issues the next day and the food tasted blaaaa... not going back

We've dined at numerous Chinese restaurants over the years, and we finally decided to give this place a try. My stomach and my wife's stomach are penalizing us for stopping in for lunch. We both had stomach aches and were nauseous for the rest of the day. Food is a pretty poor example of fresh quality food. Many items were gummy and tasteless. Some items were cold. The restaurant needs to be cleaned and updated. This place seems to always have a full parking lot, and customers probably pile in to fill up. But we learned that a full lot doesn't translate to good food and clean facilities. Advice-- just drive by! read more

This restaurant used to provide hot tasty Chinese food that was constantly replaced when the quantities got low even when you ate there after lunch or before the dinner crowd that was years ago most recently my husband and I have visited this restaurant for lunch or dinner attempting to give the owners and staff an opportunity to provide good food once again We were sadly disappointed with the quality of food as well as the food being cold and most of the serving dishes being almost empty the serving dishes were not replaced on a consistent basis The food was not worth seeing the increase in the cost of our meal we will not return here again to eat nor will we advise other people to eat here I am sorry to say that this restaurant and it's food has gone downhill and I don't understand why read more

We ordered take out tonight on the recommendation of a long time customer of this establishment and needless to say non of us will be returning...ever. Mistakes happen and I have always been understanding and willing to forgive and give restaurants the opportunity to try again but not Canton. Among the items we ordered my brother and his girlfriend each ordered egg rolls and deep fried shrimp. The egg rolls were horribly thick almost like the egg roll was dipped repeatedly in pancake batter. Inedible but the kicker was that both orders of shrimp had several shrimp that were regrettably not deveined. One or two is a whoops but multiple shrimp in two seperate orders is well any adjective for revolting will do. My brothers girlfriend called to complain and instead of being contrite and apologetic the woman on the phone was argumentative so my brothers girlfriend took the shrimp and egg rolls back to canton and their attitude was still frightful and which led to our decision to never return. We were offered a partial refund oh and offers of free buffet. Most of us lost our appetites after the first few dirty shrimp and shrimp especially after the rest of were found but in tandem with the attitude of this establishment led to us going elsewhere for our Chinese food needs. read more

I ordered takeout from here, not realizing it was a buffet and your food is not cooked to order, but rather scooped from heating vats. I got a seafood dish. It was drowning in a white sauce that honestly just reminded me of snot, and the "seafood" was almost all chunks of fake crab. I also got an appetizer of various fried foods (shrimp, egg roll, etc). The coating was thick and tasted like the oil hadn't been changed in quite some time. Prices are reasonable and it's fast. read more

Easily one of the worst meals I've ever had. I arrived at 11:10, ten minutes after opening, and there wasn't a single item that was warmer than room temperature. There is no possible way that a single thing there has been made today, everything is overly dry and crusty. My first clue should have been when I walked in and every person there was either over 70 or a single guy, but I was in a hurry and the choices in this area are pretty minimal. Hoping I don't get diarrhea from eating here, fingers crossed. read more

Loved the food!! Fresh California rolls, crab, white fish - great options for vegetarian. Delicious ice cream too. Price was super fair. Definitely will come back! read more

I found this place just by accident. I was actually going to another chinese restaurant, but notice their sigh said it was a buffet so I thought why not give it a try. I wish I would have found this place years earlier. They had a very large variety of things to choose from, more than I have seen at other chinese buffets. Everything was good and flavorful and they even had BBQ pork on the line which I have not seen before. Things were replaced often and always fresh. It was clean and well lit and very family friendly. The outside looks a bit iffy but you won't be disappointed. I can say for sure that I will be eating there several times a month now that I have discovered it. By the way, they have mini cream puffs that are absolutely to die for. read more

Pretty much the same. The donuts and cookies seemed stale. The fluorescent lighting really highlights the food stains and grease marks on the walls and tables. read more

SMH. No words to describe this place. My expectations were low going into this place but it was much worse than expected.

Read a few reviews from happy customers online and figured id give this place a try. The atmosphere inside was kind of a cafiteria style unfriendly and cold. I wasnt offered a menu when i walked in even though i saw one online so i figured that it was buffet or nothing so i grabbed a plate. The food was everything BUT good. Beef and broccoli had the worst beef ive ever tasted in it, it was squishy like chewing a piece of fat. Salt and pepper squid had a coating on it that tasted like...wall paper paste smells. The squids texture was good but the coating was just gross. The calamari rings taste foul. The deep fried scallops were mushy on the inside and i could only stomach one and threw the rest out. Sushi looked terrible and avacado was all brown and the salmon sushi looked dried out badly. Their honey chicken and orange chicken were over cooked or had just been in the steam table too long and had become hard. They had some pork on bones that was sitting in a glowing red sauce that reminded me of leather. Spring rolls, mushy and tasted baaaad. I could go on but im sure you get the point. Most of the warm food was deep fried and if it wasnt it tasted like the worst quality ingredients were used to make it. There was only one item that i acctually enjoyed and it was a noodle dish. The thin noodles. I tried just about everything they had to offer and that was the only thing that id eat from there again. Seriously the worst chinese food ive ever eaten as far as taste and quality go and if anyone from the restarant reads this please tell the head chef that. You cant make good food without quality ingredients. There has obviously been some "quality" cuts to save money and it shows. As far as service goes when i got up to get another plate my previous plate had disapeared while i was gone which was nice, although the two ladies that were working stopped next to my table to have a conversation in mandrin or cantonese. I couldnt understand them but they rambled on for a couple minutes before having a laugh and walking away. When i left i went up to the counter and the girl asked me how everything was and i rolled my eyes at her and said it was ok, she looked back at me like she knew exactly what i was talking about. That was my first and last time going to that place. Save your money and try somewhere else. read more

Good Chinese food and lots and lots of choices, but in a not so nice area and has a different clientele. Now, we don't consider ourselves snobs, nor are not over dressed and we do not fit the definition of hipsters, nor do we look "portland" in style sense, but I have never gotten so many off looks in one place as in this place. I felt like I was in one of those old westerns were you look at someone wrong and they all come after you. We were way out of place and seemingly for no good reason. We've been to this place a couple times and had the same experience, so there's no chance we'll go back. Good food, but we were certainly not welcome. read more

Our families first time there was pretty good , but a lot of things went wrong soon after . The workers working the floor all had the Care- less attitude . Had to ask for napkins , the Salt / Pepper shakers almost empty and never given straws for drinks unless we asked for one . The food at the Buffet was " Okay " but when a tray was empty , it usually took far too long for a replacement tray . Our family will be taking a long break before we come back .... read more

So my darling girlfriend and i decided to order a buffet's worth of food because her two teenage brothers were spending the weekend with us. Before beginning to fight off the void that was in my stomach we had to decided on what to take out. After pulling up the menu off their website we decided upon ordering General Tso's, orange chicken, chicken fried rice, and wonton soup. according to the prices listed, it was supposed to come out to thirty-one and some change. We agreed upon our feast for the night and called in our takeout order. They Informed us that the order would be ready for us in 15 minutes. Upon our arrival we were prompted to have a seat and our order would be ready for us in a few more minutes. About 15 minutes passed before our food finally arrived and we were asked to grant them their monetary compensation. At this time we took note that there was some foolery afoot. the bill was 39 dollars! No sense in causing a scene over a measly $8 when we had come this far we happily paid our bill and drove home to devour our purchase. Upon arrival at our domicile we were ready to slay the wretched beast of starvation! Opening the boxes which we expected to contain a sweet and succulent dinner, we were met with a familiar odor, it was not one of chicken, but of fish. We refused to let the smell throw us off our course! We dug in with plans to demolish the boxes of mystery meat and rid our bellies of our foe hunger. Upon dishing up our feast, we noticed the flavor was far less than satisfactory. it smelled of the sea, it tasted of faint lemon mixed with crustaceans and had the slimy texture of a clam. But we ordered another dish of chicken! This was to be General Tso, a firey temperament and unforgiving explosion of flavor were in order! We divied up the contents of this box, hoping that the contents would be at the very least edible! We were once again met by the fishy odor and slimy texture, identical to that of the orange chicken. Thus we were defeated! As hard as we tried we were unable to stomach this beast! Far to wretched a creation for us mere mortals to consume! Even our feline companions refused the putrid contents of our Chinese food cartons. The battle was lost, we were unable to finish what we had started. All we could do was banish it from our realm and pray to the god Hefty that his odor seal was as strong as the legends fore told. This was a quest not worth making, ill stomachs, fetal positions and regret are all that line the path to the Kingdom of Canton Chinese. read more

The best Chinese buffet I have experienced in the Portland metro area. The usual American Chinese food suspects, as well as, a nice selection of sushi rolls, mussels, oysters & soups. read more

Staff was friendly but food was bad. My family wanted to try this place out since our fave Chinese place no longer offers their buffet. We shouldn't have and I should've trusted my gut, now my gut is paying. The soup was thick and gel like. I would not eat it. Waitress asked if I didn't like it I said I'm not eating gel, this is not soup! She said they put too much gravy. Umm ok... Food wasn't good and we all felt icky after eating here. Food is edible but we probably would've been better off going to Panda Express for Chinese instead. read more

My daughter and I went for lunch yesterday and I was disgusted. The walls were filthy and I could see old sauce splattered that had never been wiped down off the wall. The chicken out of the buffet was cold. The shrimp was all dried out and looked like it was from the day before. Singapore noodles were cold as well. My waitress that seated us only gave us one straw then walked past me 4 times and ignored us. When my water needed refilling I finally flagged her and she didn't come back with it. I finally went to the hostess to get our bill. Really disappointing experience read more

This place was not good all, I don't think there was one dish that I remember eating where I had to get up and get another plate of, mediocre Chinese buffet food, bad service, waitresses were never smiling and always looked like they were giving dirty looks, I was told there was crawfish over the phone but none to be found in the food area and the crab legs which were only brought out in very small batches every 15 minutes was always gone before I could get some, just not a good experience my first time being there which is not good cause I will probably won't be going back. One star for nothing read more

The food was delicious and fresh, the menu selection was decent as there are items on it that anyone would enjoy. Only doing takeout and delivery right now but will try to eat at the buffet when it opens back up to get the full experience. Would recommend. read more

We first tried the buffet perhaps a year ago with some friends. It was quite good, nice selection and fresh food. We had the craving and took our youngest daughter with us this time. It was a Friday evening (early) and the restaurant was fairly busy. Although I can't tell you why the food just wasn't up-to-snuff that evening. It was fresh, quantities good and selection fine. The foods themselves just didn't seem to have the distinct tastes we thought we remembered. It was solid (and a lot better than others we've eaten at) but we'll likely look around before we go back. read more

Went here last night for dinner and was very impressed by the variety and selection of food here. There were some items that I haven't seen in other Chinese buffets and that was a welcome change. Everything was fresh and tasty; another welcome change from other buffets. The staff were very friendly and attentive. Prices are about average with other buffets. Will definitely dine here again next time we're in town! read more

This was absolutely disgusting!!! Service was crap and food was not even cooked all the way. DO NOT RECOMMEND!! Also tables and floors were disgusting. Found hair in my food as well read more
