Too many negative discussions on Facebook about old Tans and then it becoming Driftwood and then condemned for health reasons. Now back to Tans. For the new business to flourish please update the information, and get rid of the old website information. We went to old Tans years ago, we were disappointed, we tried Driftwood when it changed over...disappointed!! Now, not sure if we want to try Tans.

So very disappointed in the buffet we had tonight at Tan's in Parksville. The pans of food were…read morenear empty and what was left in them was definitely old dried out options, however the cooks were sitting down to a fresh table of food they had prepared for themselves . Guests were asking the server to ask the cooks to replenish the empty bins so they could have something to put on their plates. We certainly won't be going back and in hindsight we should have just walked out and not even have tried what was there. What a disgrace that 2 iced tea and disgusting food cost us $75.00 ...JUNK

Drove to Uptown Chinese restaurant for lunch from Gibsons Landing. The restaurant, which is a good…read moresize, was almost completely empty. There was one other table seated, but that was it. We were somewhat worried about this. Our server was friendly. We asked for lots of lemons/limes with our water and got one slice of lemon each. She didn't really understand the concept of limes, but did go back and get us more lemons. I ordered the Tofu in Salt & Pepper, which is an appetizer, and my friends ordered the spring rolls, which were very nice, Chinese broccoli, and stir fry broccoli in garlic sauce. None of the dishes came with rice, which surprised us. The S&P tofu was spicy, crispy, and delicious. It had small pieces of red and green peppers and onions. It was also fairly spicy, so let them know if you want it milder. They slice the tofu fairly thin, which makes it easier to get crispy I'm sure. My friend's Chinese broccoli was also very tasty. It's not really broccoli but a type of kale with stems that has great health benefits. The stir fry broccoli with garlic sauce didn't have a ton of flavor, but it was cooked well. I really didn't taste much garlic in it, but it was bright green and crunchy. They make their own sauces in house and the yellow mustard was not as spicy as the ones you get pre-packaged. The sweet sauce for the spring rolls was very nice; I added it to my tofu, which went together nicely. The red chili sauce was more sweet than spicy. This was a solid Chinese restaurant, but it did not stand out amongst its peers, hence the 3 star rating.

Pork was just okay, chicken had an unusual texture and taste, and dry roasts peanuts were tossed on the dish as almost an afterthought vs being cooked with the chicken. Did not like it at all. The "fried" rice looked , had the texture of, AND tasted like "steamed rice" with some carrots and peas thrown in. Asked when it was delivered, as it looked very white and pasty, is this "fried rice ?" to which the owner (I believe) said "yes". Server (maybe owner) was very nice and in that we did not eat much of this food at all did not want to insult by leaving it all so we asked for "to go" boxes. Could not believe , when we got the bill, they charged almost $3.00 for the boxes!!! Which , not planing to eat it anyway, we promptly threw out after leaving. Very disappointed with the experience.
