Solid seafood place near Coquitlam Centre…read more Parking is available in the lot in front of the building. The place looks nice and modern. Comfortable cushy chairs, and wooden trim. Staff are friendly but understaffed. Once the place filled up they were swamped. Signature steamed seafood pot - definitely on the pricey side, but they don't skimp out. Special mention for the presentation. Plenty of goodies including an entire lobster, half a large octopus (tenticle/arm half), snails, oysters, scallops, prawns, and fish balls among others. Basically everything without fish. Served in a large tray (the ones seen at banquet buffets), and everything cooked in broth. This was enough to probably feed 4-5 adults (assuming average appetites). So pretty. Deep fried squid with fries - honestly this dish was meh. Basically exactly what it sounds like. Squid is tempura style. Nothing special. I'd skip this one. Bossam (pork belly wraps) - served with tofu and spicy kimchi and some vegetable (kelp?) as well. They don't really give enough wraps compared to the pork slices. Decent portion size. My friends and I gobbled this up. This place also serves makgeolli (Korean rice wine) for a very reasonable price. Goes well with the food. Overall my friends and I left happy. Wouldn't mind coming back at some point to try some other dishes. Recommended.

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.

The night we went, there was a young Asian dude at the carving station. He was G R U M P Y. I asked…read morefor the roast and not only did he not smile, he sneered at me and tossed me a few slim shavings of meat. I wish I could say that I am just trying to be funny, but unfortunately I'm not. I continued to watch him from my seat and he was just NOT in a good mood at all. 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.

We used to visit this place once in a while before COVID. Today June 5, 2026, we attended a…read morebusiness event there as registered guests. Upon arrival, we were surprised to find security guards at the entrance requiring government photo identification. It struck us as a sign of how much the situation has changed in Metro Vancouver that a venue we once entered freely now has security screening. One person in our group, a 93-year-old woman, did not have photo identification with her. She does not drive, and both her BC ID card and health card are currently being renewed, leaving her without government-issued photo ID at the moment. Who would have thought she would need to bring her Canadian passport to attend a private event? The security guards strictly enforced the policy and denied her entry. Despite the obvious circumstances and the fact that she was a registered guest attending a private event, no discretion or flexibility was shown. The event organizers themselves requested an exception on her behalf, but their request was also denied. I have since learned that the casino has changed ownership and is own by Snuneymuxw First Nation, which may explain the heightened security measures and a more rigid approach to guest screening. Unfortunately, the experience left the impression that management and security were exercising poor judgment and showing little flexibility, even in the case of a clearly elderly guest attending a registered event. What should have been an enjoyable occasion became a disappointing and frustrating experience. In addition, the atmosphere in the surrounding area seems very different from what it used to be. Personally, I no longer feel as comfortable or secure in the area, particularly after dark. Overall, this was not the welcoming experience we had come to expect from this venue. WOULD NOT RECOMMEND!

We had a reservation, so I'd recommend making one. The restaurant has a good layout where you don't feel like you're sitting so close to hear your neighbors' conversations. We counted 13 different types of meat coming across our table, but there may have been more. My favorites: tri tip, NY strip, pork belly, pork roast, bacon-wrapped chicken, and chicken hearts. The salad and side bar was adequate. We finished with a cheesecake worthy of NY. I was hoping they'd have queijo coalho, but they did have good pão de queijo. Would definitely come back.
