First time here for dim sum for lunch on a Saturday. This place makes the most delicious wonton soup and the Volcano rolls. For dessert definitely try there ice cream section. Very fresh and creamy Ice cream yum. It quite hidden as it located in a Travelodge, at first I thought this was going to be small but this venue is really large in size. The food selection is great and you have many choices. All the food tasted fresh with lots of flavour. The place is very clean and they have the softest toilet paper lol. I definitely will be back for some more goodness. Plus they even gave me a 3 dollar off coupon for next time. read more

Probably one of the worst "authentic Chinese" restaurants I've ever eaten at in my life. Out of the twelve people we had, over half of us contracted some sort of food poisoning/stomach flu, ( vomiting, diarrhea) one was even hospitalized. Health and safety inspections need to be redone here because not only is the "washed dishes" dirty with dried food on countless plates, obviously some cleanliness protocols were not followed in preparation of the food. the food itself is atrocious, coming from a Chinese person this is also the least authentic it gets. AVOID at all costs. There are significantly better buffets and Chinese restaurants around town, if not better, at least you won't get sick. read more

Okay so the quality is very typical of a buffet place BUT what sets this place apart from the rest is the variety of food they have. I'm talking sushi, sashimi, dim sum, baked goods, crab legs, duck wraps, tempura, salad bar, desert bar, ice cream bar, soups for days, and of course the typical buffet foods. They only put out a little bit at a time so everything is fresh. read more

I've been there 3 times within the last 4 months, a friday evening with coworkers, the food was hot and lots to choose from. The 2nd time with a party of 12 for a birthday, the place was pretty packed the robot had a hard time getting to our table for the birthday song. The food again was very good, lots of choices. Only drawback was the service, none of us ordered drinks due to the fact we knew you would be waiting forever. The plates were removed reasonably well. However when it came to paying they needed id's from the birthday person and all seniors. Then the bill had the 15% gratuity and the server demanded another 15% tip and kept taking back the machine when I cancelled it as I already paid the tip, finally ended up giving the tip. 3rd time again food was good, but table service plate pickup very bad, needed table for 5, got a booth for 4 and one person had a chair in the aisle. Plate pickup was poor, and we were next to the busing bin, so we put our own plates into the dirty dish bins. Again the bill, same issue, server who never served us anything demanded a 15% tip, and take the machine out of my hand and added the tip then gave to me to swipe my card. This demanding of a tip when service is poor and you don't show up to the table until you see we are nearly ready to leave, and then demanding a tip is not the best impression ... if it wasn't for the great food, I would probably drop this restaurant. read more

abhorrent service. a friend went here last night and came back with borderline horror stories for a restaurant. when their table asked for water, the waiter took their glasses and never came back. half of the waitstaff aren't even human. and when they went to leave, the lady collecting their bills refused to let my friend pay until they left a tip. there was an option to not tip, but she wouldn't let them continue the payment until they did. is that even legal? they don't inform you of the mandatory tipping either. the excuse was that "the food is good and requires it," but why should anyone tip bad service because the food was alright? ridiculous read more

The food is pretty much what you'd expect. Nit over the top, but decent. The service was terrible. Went this week. One server, our assigned server was pretty much eating lunch the whole time. Had to go to the bar too ask fir diet cokes. The bartender was annoyed told us to talk too our server. We pointed to server who was face down in a plate of food. She overcharged us for 4 adults, when clearly you could see my child was not an adult. She also pointed to the tip option, which made me mad. So I didn't tip. Tip for what? The water she brought two times? We had yo go to the front yo get our bill. I would go again for the food. But not the service read more

Went for the buffet today was really disappointed that this was my first buffet after covid. Service was what you expect at a buffet. The sushi was the shining star. The biggest disappointment was the Chinese food. If you market yourself as a Chinese buffet this should be the best part read more

My wife heard about this place from co-workers so we decided to check it out, despite their price being the highest in the city. I guess we were expecting a superb experience associated with the high price. Oooops! We've been to other buffets in Edmonton and they are better than this one. We were disappointed. The food was barely luke warm and the quality of the food is lacking in several items. You pay your money and you take your chances, but we definitely won't be fooled again! read more

Don't judge a book by its cover...The building is kind of off-putting once you arrive, as it is an older looking building, but don't be fooled! There is a crazy amount of food here!! It's usually a bad sign when buffets have heaping amounts of food since the quality almost always goes down when the amount of food is high. Everything I had was delicious! The price is super cheap for dinner buffet which is pretty rare these days. Its a chinese-food buffet with some sushi options, dim sum, as well as salads and assorted fruit. I don't remember how many times I went back to get a new plate but the sesame chicken here is the BOMB. The sushi quality is pretty on-par with other AYCE sushi bars. After dinner, there is a whole row of ice cream thats available for dessert, as well as some chinese congee and dimsum dessert options available as well! Forgetting the distance, I'd definitely make the drive all the way to the Northside from the deep south just to go here. The servers are pretty nice, although a little hard to get water refills. But the place itself is pretty well kept and clean compared to other buffets I've been to. read more

If you know me at all you know that I don't like buffets. I don't like how full I get, the quality of food, and the trough like feeling. Yang Ming deals with at least two of the issues by keeping their chafing dishes small and refilling often with well made food. We went for a dinner buffet because they have a promotion that if it's your birthday month you eat for free with a minimum of 6 guests total. So you need 5 paying friends or in my case my girlfriend's whole family. We made a reservation for 5:30 because I'd prefer eating when it's not as busy. This was a good decision because it got slammed around 6:30pm. It's a big restaurant and almost all the seats were full. There was a good selection of food options. Mainly Chinese cuisine with some Western and Japanese sushi thrown in. We didn't have enough any sushi because we didn't know how it worked. We think the sushi chef cuts to order but we will need to try it next time. I had a Peking duck wrap/taco/Bao thing which was tasty and unique! The prime rib was cooked to a nice medium but it was sitting in au jus which wasn't appealing for me. Of course it wasn't the most marbled and tender rib loin but neither is the keg. I tried a lot of variety and went back 3-4 times. The steamed cake was a nice dessert and I didn't get any ice cream because I wasn't a fan of the self serve with kids leaning over the buckets. They above a full bar and the service for drinks and clearing plates was adequately efficient. read more

Very impressed with the quality and variety of food available. We went for a weekday lunch, which means it had the "least best" compared to evenings or weekends, and still it was a dazzling array. I've never been to a Chinese buffet with this many options which also included Western dishes, sushi, dim sum, lots of fresh fruit and a ton of desserts (as usual with buffets, nothing in that last category appealed to me, but the kids loved it, especially many choices of ice cream). My favourite was the salt and pepper calamari, but nothing I took was displeasing, and i just wish I hadn't gotten full so quickly! Oh well, it just means there is still lots to explore on my next visit, and I will definitely be going back. read more

I am obsessed with buffets. That's important information. I know that buffet quality can be lacking simply for the fact that they are preparing food for people and hoping they eat it before it goes bad. At Yang Ming, I am yet to encounter this issue. They are bringing out new trays of food fairly consistently. They have a huge selection that makes it easy to bring even the pickiest of eaters. Chinese foods, dim sum, salads, breads, desserts, and Canadian fare. My two favourite parts of Yang Ming are the freshly made sushi! And ice cream!!! Sushi is made as it is taken, there is no sushi sitting out all day. It's the one buffet I will actually eat sushi. The ice cream is not soft serve, but a wide variety of scoopable. There are enough scoops and they are stored in a warm water bath so it makes the scooping easier. Last note: don't get greedy and take what you cannot eat. They will charge you extra. I don't know how much, but I hope to never find out. read more

I gave this place four stars just because I'm not sure if there's any other buffet in the Edmonton area like it. This place reminds me of what it was like to go to a buffet when I was a kid. A unimaginable variety of different tastes from around the world. Check out the Sushi Bar where you can enjoy all you can eat sushi prepared fresh in front of your eyes. Kids and adults will both love ice cream row. So many flavours Trust me, check it out. James L read more

My family and I tried Yang Ming on Sunday for adternoon lunch. If you're not a buffet person, you will not enjoy this at all. Also, the area is in a less than desirable area. You have been warned! I appreciate good buffet, especially Chinese buffet at a decent price. Yang Ming definitely has a huge variety of food. With 6 rows and another separate dim sum and western area, you definitely get the most out of your meal. As with any buffet, there are definitely items that I didn't prefer but there was enough variety that I had plenty of favorite items to go back to. I enjoyed a lot of the Chinese meat, especially the deep fried chicken wings! The western desserts were not my favourite but the ice cream and coconut cocktail buns wer3 winners. I also enjoyed the congee and dim sum area. I would definitely come back! Again, I'm definitely an eater and had a huge portion. Am also just love Chinese food. I'd say those two things are a must in order to want to come try this place! read more

Food poor quality I took my family there for New Years supper I was so sick that nite. Would never go back

I've ordered from here 3 times. Every single time they've out done themselves! I originally ordered meal for 4, expecting a little leftovers for a couple days. It could have fed 8+ people! They wrap the containers in plastic wrap to keep it hot and clean. Takes less than 30 min thru SkipTheDishes. I ask for extra sauce, they deliver. I have suggested this place to everyone I know! Amazing! It's so good, that this is probably my first review in 2 years. I just want to share it with everyone! read more

Best Chinese Asian Japanese buffet in town by far. Can't wait to go back. So much selection and variety i need three stomachs to taste everything i want to. Lunch is by far the best Muk Bang for your Buck. It gets a bit pricey in the evening and holidays. That being said you still wont leave disappointed. Dim Sum, Sushi, Bbq pork, Korean BBQ, even pizza and ice cream . Bling Bling for Yang Ming! read more

Went with family to celebrate a birthday and got a free meal since we had more 6 people in our party. Food quality for a buffet of this size is definitely above average. The Chinese food is very good, though it can pretty greasy though this very typical for Canadian-Chinese food. My favorites were the sticky rice and the sesame chicken. As for the sushi, it's decent for a buffet, but probably isn't worth going there just for that. It's pretty plain, and doesn't have as much filling as most other places. They also have tempura veggies, which I also liked, though the coating on some pieces was pretty uneven. The best part of the buffet is how fresh everything is. They really do an excellent job of refilling items and keeping track as pretty much every time I went to the buffet line, there was a staff member checking or refilling the food. Overall, the value is excellent (esp. on weekdays) and the variety is probably the best in the city. It's certainly not perfect, but definitely would return. read more

If you ever beat the rush hour for dinner come by during lunch time and the costs is 20/person. All you can eat ranging from veggie options, Chinese, dim sum, steaks and sushi. I went and have 5 helpings. Definitely worth it for big groups and family or date night. read more

The buffet is decent, price is ok too,but the only reason I went there is because they serve crab legs, it's unlimited,but the catch is you can only take 3 piece each time ,I cant say I was disappointed, but it was a lot work to just get enough crab legs ,wish they can adjust the rule a little bit like get 6~8 piece each time . read more

Yang Ming Buffet - Buffets Near Me - Edmonton, Alberta

There are few all you can eat options which are worth a visit, but Yang Ming Buffet is a cut above. Why? While there are a plethora of menu items that fall well within the comfort zones of the less adventurous diner, the rotating roster of dishes inspired by international flavours is impressive- not the typical fare offered by Sysco. The restaurant is located in a strip mall in the North east part of Edmonton and there's ample parking, provided it's not a Saturday on a Chinese New Year weekend. In the realm of all-you-can-eat, Yang Ming buffet serves everything from fresh seafood, sushi, prime rib, to dim sum, and is favoured by many, as the long lineups to get in would show. In particular, those who enjoy seafood, which is often lack lustre at buffets, was particularly fresh and there were diverse options. Food moves swiftly here and is replaced just as quickly with fresh trays. There's staff that actively monitor the buffet tables, like security, to ensure that the buffet table is always replenished and kept tidy. Service is attentive and friendly. Table turn over is quick - once a guest vacates, service staff are prompt to clear the tables and welcome new diners. Keep an eye out for specials, like the bbq peking duck and crab legs. Ice cream variety and quality set a new benchmark for buffets and restaurants, in general. If you're into pumpkin pie, try out the ice cream version. Wanna try it before investing in dinner?Consider lunch at $16.99(versus $28.99 depending on the day you show up for dinner), it's a comparative steal. Kids and seniors enjoy $2 off so no need to lie about your age. ; ) read more

Was pleasantly surprised. The location is not the greatest but once you step inside this buffets is beautiful! So many options from a fresh sushi station to dim sum station to tradition Chinese and Korean options. This hands down is the best Chinese buffet in Edmonton. So many different flavours... not bland at all. The staff is very attentive and they sure make sure nothing run low. My family and I love dim sum and found the dim sum options way more flavourful here then our usual dim sum restaurant. The price is beyond reasonable. Definitely worth the drive. We went on a Monday afternoon and heard that one the weekend they have way more food options which blows my mind as there were so many options. Will definitely be going back on the weekend. read more

Not bad, not good either. I came for Father's Day wanting to be spoiled but all the food taste pretty bland. I did enjoy the sushi and sashimi (it wasn't cut very nicely), but they can't mess up something they don't cook haha. For $18.99 it's worth it more or less but not for the $28.99. read more

Wow...very impressed. Won't lie when my parents suggested we try here for brunch I was skeptical, as with any buffet, especially being located so far from me in the Beverly area. First impression is that it is very big and clean. They have everything from dim sum items, western Chinese and of course usual buffet fares like fries and fried chicken etc. First thing had to try was the pork dumplings and shrimp dumplings that I usually get at dim sum and they measure up very well. Second they have people constantly stand watching to see what needs to be filled up, kind of cool with them on a mic announcing it to the kitchen. And always a good sign when there are lots of Asian families here.....my way of gouging how the Chinese food may be haha. Would definitely come back even if it is a bit out of my way, maybe check out the dinner one. And would recommend others give it a try if into buffets. read more

New buffet maybe less than 6 months best kept secret so far. Brunch time 11am to 3pm is so reasonable 14.99 for seniors 60+ and 16.99 everyone else over 100 items. What a good deal just for the dim sum and sushi items alone which I just love. If they're out of an item just ask and they will refill fresh. They lost one star for their dry pastries but ice cream is great with it. Not the greatest neighborhood but inside restaurant its been totally renovated. Friendly staff but I'm pretty friendly so they respond back they speak English but off course not the best they try all Chinese staff so far I've gone there a number of times now but just for lunch, they know me by sight. read more

I would highly recommend this place. The prices of the buffet weren't the best, but were fairly reasonable based on the fact that the quality of the food were exceptional. You usually see quantity over quality at a buffet restaurant, but not with Yang Ming. They have a huge selection of food, with a salad bar, dim sum, sushi, main, and dessert section. I was impressed with the variety of food they have since I came to Edmonton for a trip and wasn't expecting much from a buffet. Overall, the service was great, the restaurant was pretty big in size and was fairly clean. The location is a little bit of a downfall but it's not that big of a deal as long as you are having some good tasting dim sums for dinner! read more

Went here for my GF's birthday lunch with my mom and GM. It was awesome. Can't wait to go back. There's something for everyone.

I would say after Plates buffet closed, this buffet is the next best one in Edmonton. The restaurant was fully packed when we came. Although service was slow (we went on a long weekend) they definitely made it up for their food. They serve Western, Japan, and Chinese food. They have a lot of seafood here, from sushi, shrimp and peaches, to all you can eat crabs. They even have Peking duck wrap and dim sum station. The food here was really fresh, we constantly seen them refilling each station throughout the night. read more

Was a lot of options. I liked it but my buddy got sick. It's a 'quantity place' and I'll go back again. I'll just be more selective with my choices. The workers were nice and service was good. But these guys got slot of competition as 118 ave is a hub for great eateries such as Pappas, Uncle Ed's, Take 5 Donuts, Swiss 2 Go, That Thai place on 41 street. And there's more. read more

We were hesitant when we arrived. It is situated inside a motel. Not much seafood that I can see. Fried Rice Fried with Peas and Carrots cubes, Fried kueh Tiow with Bean Sprouts, (no meats on these dishes), Lemon chicken pieces coated with thick batter (hard), Ginger Beef coated with thick batter, Fried drumsticks, Chicken Wings with Sweet Glazed, Roasted Beef not appealing, French Fries, Beef Fried with read more

Great place to go out for a Chinese buffet. Food tastes ok for being cooked in advance and put on a steam line. I didn't find the sushi very fresh and appetizing, although I tried it and it was edible. I would love to see more crab legs and lobster even. Prices are good and selection is great! Service is pretty good for Edmonton...most places the service is good at the beginning then they let you linger when you want to leave. You won't leave there still hungry! read more

We had Father's Day dinner tonight. Excellent asian buffet with a large variety of food. It was really busy but the restaurant was very organized with refilling the food trays, clearing plates and keeping the food area very clean. The seafood was a big hit and they tried to keep up with the demands. I would go back on a regular evening, it would be less hectic. The staff is very friendly and professional. read more

Went back to this restaurant for the second time and have to say enjoyed it much much better. Staff were nice,food was pretty good and there was a wide selection of food. Really quite enjoyed the whole experience this time. Although I have to say because it was a weekday there was no crab legs and hence no one standing there doling it out which I didn't like last time but the food was better and the experience was better for sure. read more

The food was delicious. The selection of food was great. My favourite tables were the desert table and the dim sum table.

This is probably the best all-you-can-eat buffet in Edmonton. They have many kinds of Chinese food ranging from ginger beef to fish with chili oil. On the weekend, they have salmon and snapper sashimi and nigiri, which are better than other buffets. They have a variety of dimsum, dessert, and salads. They also have steamed crab legs on the weekends. read more
