There is a pasta station that was always busy, so I can't comment on the selection or quality. The rest of the food was ok - nothing to write home about. You have your standard hot selections - fish, some pasta, veggies, risotto, chicken and there was lamb. They have a large charcuterie board that, upon closer inspection, was just the same 3 cheeses and meats repeating. The cold plate section had good variety, but went fast. They are fairly quick to refill though. The cold dishes tasted pretty good, unfortunately I then had diarrhea later that night to which I attribute to this section. The desserts are hit and miss. The creme brulee was the best. The cakes were the worst. It's a large, bright space, thanks to the floor to ceiling windows. Depending on where you are seated, you could have a beautiful ocean view. Easily accessible by public transportation.

Buffets in Vancouver seem few and far between and generally rather pricy so this seemed like the…read moremost reasonable option to go with kids. The third star is for the service as the servers come through and clear plates quickly and offer hot drinks when they notice you're towards the end of the meal, so they were great. But food... Considering it's $50 for an adult, you'd be better off going to a regular restaurant and ordering what you really want for a better meal. Most of the food was luke warm and the carving station was almost cold unless you catch a fresh one coming out. The sushi was probably the best items here and some of the salad bar. But how do you mess up fried rice? The rice and noodles were almost inedible and my kids couldn't eat the soft serve ice cream! And they'll eat almost anything sweet. Hmm, I didn't expect amazing food being a buffet, but I certainly expected a bit more than that. Nothing stood out as being all that great overall and at these prices... Maybe not!

The high price is not reflected on the amount of dishes or quality of dishes. There is only 15 choices at the hot dishes section. This selection includes cheaper options wich as mashed potato, potato au gratin, store bought gyoza, roast veggies, steamed veggies, and fried noodle. Chinese roast pork was quite ok. At least the skin was still crispy. There is no raw fish at the sushi section. The prime rib was quite small. The desserts were lackluster except for the cobbler which was delicious. It also had a big bowl of devonshire cream and it was amazing. Parking is free in the parkade and there is plenty of parking. I wish they would elevate their dishes to justify the price point.

Make a reso. walk ins are ok but easier to get in last minute as a table of 4.

I haven't been to Shabusen in a year so I decided to check it out…read more Came at 10:55am with my family for an early lunch on a weekend. Place was still closed Door opened right at 11am sharp. Only one other person came for about the first half hour, but it slowly got a little busier an hour later when we left, maybe 30% full. As for the vibes, it was pretty quiet. They kept playing Top 40 2010's pop music but it was at a reasonable volume. The person who made the playlist really likes taylor swift and bruno mars as they kept playing their songs. Sometimes the music stopped for a moment before playing again. We sat at a booth windowside where we could see burrard street from an elevated view. As a party of 4, the booth seats weren't very plush or spacious but were still somewhat comfy. Service was a little slow at the beginning. It took a while for the wait staff to give the paper where i can write down the amount of food i want. The wait staff said they would come back to us when we indicated we wanted to order even though only one other customer was in the restaurant at the time. It took awhile for the food the come at the start, maybe 10+ minutes. I'm guessing some of the staff were still setting up the restaurant because they looked busy. But everything was smooth sailing afterward that. Food came pretty quickly after ordering every time. The BBQ flame grill at the middle of the table was not very good because the flame was uneven and only half of the grill was in flames even though the power was a max. But the problem fixed itself eventually somehow and we were really COOKIN'. I think many people will find their sushi decent. They don't put an crazy amount of rice or anything. In terms of taste, The sushi was below average unfortunately, it was not that flavorful or even that fresh tasting. I tried the california roll and the spicy tuna roll. They were just average overall and you could easily find better sushi at Japanese restaurants. I also tried the salmon, spicy tuna, and tuna sashimi. No complaints. They did not have any frozen taste and they were decent is size. Overall, better than average sashimi for sure. I liked the spicy sauce they slather on the spicy tuna sashimi. The gyoza was better than average and not overly greasy. The chicken teriyaki, beef teriyaki, and yakisoba noodles was also pretty good in terms of taste. WAY better meat pieces compared to other buffets like richmond sushi, which had lots of fat or tendon. They were pretty much all meat which was appreciated. The marinaded BBQ meats for the grill were decent. I didn't get that much flavor of the marinades from any of the meats. The BBQ beef was the best of them all in terms of taste, but there were some pieces that had a lot of fat on them so they were chewy. I LOVED the tonkatsu. Our table kept ordering it. I got a whole extra plate to myself. The sauce they put on it and the crispiness of the tonkatsu was great. The agadashi tofu was a good dish for a different texture and refreshing after eating lots of greasy meats. Our table ordered multiples of it. The Goma-ae was decent. I wasn't a huge fan of the sauce as it wasn't as tasty as it looked. Also the portion was smaller than expected. But i ordered more anyway basically to help cut the grease a little from all the marinated BBQ meats. The yam tempura was decent. Nothing special about it as it's just battered yam that's not overly thick. The Chicken Karaage was our table's favorite dish. They were extra crispy, easy to eat, and tasty. We ordered a lot of it and it was eaten up pretty quickly. The wait staff were very quick in taking away our used dishes and they replaced our grill plate when it looked really charred. On the other hand, sometimes they forgot to give a new order paper when they took our order so we had to ask them for another one. Sometimes when we ordered multiple dishes of something, we would receive less than expected. For example, when my table ordered 3 dishes we only got 1 dish. That was a little annoying. Public washrooms were cramped but clean. The urinals were literally one step away from the sink, and the one toilet stall was 2 steps away. 3 people max can stand inside. For $30 per person on the weekend lunch for both sushi and BBQ, Shabusen is not bad at all. The price is decent for AYCE spot that includes BBQ and sushi. And you're paying a bit of a premium price due it being a weekend which is a pretty common thing at buffets nowadays. Overall I give Shabusen 3.5 out of 5 yelp stars based on this visit rounded up to 4 stars since yelp doesn't do half stars. Some of the food quality improved a bit compared to my last year's review, and the food that we ordered, for the most part, came at a pretty good pace. I feel like we didn't have to wait for long.

The Buffet was closed down for a while during the pandemic but reopened in late 2022…read more Grand Villa Casino had a contest where if you swipe your casino "Encore" loyalty card on the contest machine, you'd have a chance to instantly win things such as free casino plays and restaurant coupons. A cash prize was offered as well. My friend was lucky enough to win a 2 for 1 coupon for Grand Villa's buffet and invited me over to try it out. Lucky me. I haven't visited Grand Villa Casino's Buffet in about 5 years so I was interested to see if anything changed since then. When we approached the entrance, there was no line up and there were plenty of seats available in the buffet. This was around 4pm on a Sunday. I took a glance at the food available for the day and it looked decent but nothing stood out, unfortunately. Here's a rundown of everything they offered that day. For soups they got vegetarian chili and chicken gumbo. The chicken gumbo was not good and my friend couldn't finish it. Just avoid the soups. For salads, they got romaine, kale, macaroni, coleslaw, and potato. I tried a bit of the kale and the macaroni salads and it was surprisingly tasty. For mains they got corn on the cob, corn bread, waffles, fried chicken, baked beans, mac and cheese, beef brisket, bbq ribs, and fried basa fish. The corn bread was pretty bland. It needs more flavor. The fried chicken is like the chicken you would buy at a superstore or walmart. Very average. It was drier than I preferred. The breaded skin was kinda tasteless. Worse than KFC. The mac and cheese was actually good. Very cheesy, tasty, and looked pretty yummy. The BBQ ribs were alright. It had very little meat on it. The sauce was tastier than I expected. The basa fried fish is nothing to write home about. Very average. It didn't have much flavor and tasted like the fish you would buy in the supermarket frozen dinner food section and pop it in the oven. The beef brisket was too tough, dry, and lacked flavor. Needs more seasoning. I think it was a tad overcooked. At the carving station, they had roast beef. It's not bad at all! The beef did not have any fat and it was tender and not dry. You can try it with dijon mustard or demi-glace sauce. I liked it with the dijon mustard. For pop, they got a coca cola freestyle machine with literally dozens of options of different types of pop. Coke, Barqs, Sprite, Fanta, and more. I have no complaints about the drinks. For dessert, they got mini donuts, double chocolate cake with chocolate icing and flakes on top, Red Velvet cake, chocolate brownies, and a fruit platter. They also have ice cream with a small selection of toppings. The mini donuts were sweet and tasty. They appear to be freshly baked. I liked the chocolate brownies a lot. It wasn't overly sweet but it was tasty. The chocolate cake was decent. It was a tad too sweet and tasted like an average chocolate cake overall. The red velvet cake was very average tasting as well. My friend didn't like the chocolate ice cream at all and could not finish it after taking a bite. There might have been a few more desserts and drinks available that I missed but I didn't take a good look. Besides the average quality food, the service by the wait staff and the dining area was actually better than other restaurants. The wait staff took away our plates very quickly after we were done with them. They were friendly and fast when we entered the restaurant and during our visit. I have no complaints about the service. The dining area was spacious and clean. The chairs had thick pillow cushions on them so it was better than an average dining chair. They had large windows that let the sunlight in. The decor was minimal but nicer than an average family restaurant. Overall, at the regular price of $33.99 per person, I would hesitate to recommend Grand Villa's Casino Buffet to anybody for the quality of the food that's offered. It really needs improvement. The chefs need to replace what it has now with better than average tasting food to ask for that price. I wouldn't think of going again unless i scored a 2 for 1 coupon because there are plenty of restaurants where your $34 can be better spent. 2.5 out of 5 stars rounded up to 3 stars since yelp doesn't do half stars.

He did similar if not the same to other people. He would trade places every 30 minutes or so with another guy. There was HUGE and noticeable difference between servers. The other guy was very proud of his work station and cleaned up around the area while waiting for the next customer. I'll pass on this place for future events.
