    This is the cup that my tea was served in.

    I wanted to try this place out but I was very disappointed. I usually go to a different buffet and I wanted to compare it to my favorite restaurant. The cost was the same as the other place and that's where the similarities end. There was about half of the amount of selections to choose from and some of the food items were empty. It was a dark atmosphere and the carpet was filthy. My cup for tea was so dirty that I couldn't even use it. The, I can't call her a waitress, gave us our drinks then only removed our plates when we were getting ready to leave. I don't recommend eating there.

    I went to Chans buffet for lunch at 12:30 on a Friday and everything looked as if it had been sitting out for hours. Someone is going to get sick. Every time I came in here for lunch, half of the entrees looked to be sitting out for hours. It would be to their advantage not to open the buffet so early so that by lunch time the food is still edible.

    Service was good and the food was excellent. The selections were many and the staff ensured that fresh food came out as needed. As you can see by the photos there is also a small selection of American food as is customary in many Chinese restaurants. Keep in mind this was in Easter Sunday so I definitely wouldn't hesitate to return and would whole heartedly recommend.

    Do not eat here unless you want to get sick and pay for food that tastes like it has been left out for days. The food was freezing cold. There was no veggies in the lo mien besides for overcooked, wilted onions and green strings (see photos for reference) The "chicken" was just all fat and definitely not real chicken meat. There was hair fuzzies in the fried rice and in the egg roll. We found a clear piece (see photo) in the egg roll that felt like plastic. Only two bites that were spit out caused very upset stomachs. I hope this review helps others avoid getting sick. Very disappointed especially because they did not offer anything to make it right. DO NOT recommend.

Friendly staff ready to take orders and to make them quickly. Not much of an area to sit so don't expect a bunch of booth or seats. Just a small business for mainly take out. My order made it at least 15 mins drive and was still hot. I also asked for a little extra heat with the chicken and they delivered without it being disgustingly spicy. It was perfect. A little sweat on my forehead but I can't stop eating it. Can't wait to try more from here.

    We chose Freighters for our first Valentine's Day date night after having two kids, and we were…read morecompletely let down. From the moment we walked in, the experience was disappointing. The hostess was rude, and when we were seated, there were straws, wrappers, and spilled liquid underneath our table. No one offered to clean it, and after being sat, no one came to our table for over 20 minutes. When our waiter finally arrived- without greeting or introducing himself he just asked "has anyone been with you yet?" *mind you he had been in the section tending to TWO other tables the whole time we were there*. We ordered drinks (an old fashioned and a mocktail), along with cheese curds for an appetizer and a steak and burger for dinner. Our drinks didn't come out for another 15 minutes. When the waiter brought them, I asked if he could put all of our food in at once if he didn't already. He stated he already had because the kitchen was backed up. After that, we never saw him again. Meanwhile, the couple seated right before us received their drinks, meals, and even dessert. Another table was served three appetizers during the time we sat there waiting. Our table was available after being on a waitlist of 35 minutes at 7:11pm and by 8:30pm we still had not received ANY of our food or seen our waiter again. We left money on the table to cover our drinks and left. To make matters worse, the table next to us remained dirty the entire time we were there, and an 8-top nearby sat covered in dishes the whole evening. Where was the manager? The owner? There was no one walking around apologizing for long wait times, no communication, and absolutely no effort to offer compensation or make things right. I have worked in hospitality in years and the way this night was handled was absolutely careless. I have given this establishment MANY changes, and this was the last straw. An absolute 0/10 experience. This was supposed to be a special Valentine's night out for us, and instead it was frustrating and disappointing. I will not be returning to Freighters, and I will be sharing this experience with others so they don't waste their special occasions the way we did.

Upon arrival, I was greeted by the staff, but I must say, the reception lacked that radiant, high-end warmth I typically look forward to. The hospitality felt a touch frosty, which was rather disappointing. Looking around the room, the few other patrons present didn't exactly seem enthralled with their experience either. The décor is unapologetically old-fashioned, and frankly, darling, it simply isn't my favorite aesthetic. For my meal, I settled on the Beef Lo Mein, which was whisked out to my table with impressive speed. On the positive side, they certainly did not skimp on the protein the dish was wonderfully abundant with exceptionally fresh, tender cuts of beef. However, the noodles themselves were dreadfully oily, which completely threw off the balance of the dish. While I cannot possibly award a flawless score due to the heavy-handed grease and the lackluster service, the quality of the beef keeps it in my good graces. I suppose I might consider popping back in for a casual mid-week bite if I'm in the area.

    Been here a couple times since moving back to Sarnia and I've not been impressed with Hana so far…read more The rolls aren't consistent, not even how they're made from visit to visit (the Lambton roll, I think it was called, was a regular maki roll one time and then a sliced up hand roll the second time?). Some of them, like the crispy spicy salmon (a staple of mine) are pitifully small, like what you'd get at a grocery bento. On one of my visits there was only a handful of tables sitting in and they still missed 1 of 6 items I ordered. I try not to knock AYCE places too much for that if it's busy or if my table has ordered a lot of items, but I didn't think either applied here. Plus the staff were looking aimless and I had to flag them down to get my drink refilled. Nothing I ate tasted bad and, individually, the rolls are good. But the overall experience I've had both times here was underwhelming, I suppose. I've just moved back from London, ON where there was obviously better selection, but of the sushi places Sarnia has gained since a few years ago, there's better options than Hana in town.

In the rest of the world, they don't cut the fish paper thin so you can't taste it. They don't point the katsu so thin that the breading is thicker than the meat in both sides.

They are skimping so much on the important parts that it just kills the meal. Very poorly done.... Not up to any standards
