Reviews for Red Rice Buffet in Port Hope, ON
Went for the lunch buffet very few options and half of the trays were empty. Alot of the food was stale and cold. Overpriced $23... for a lunch buffet and water no surprise it was empty at 12:30 pm can't see it staying in business for much longer Read more
This used to be an ok restaurant with reasonable prices before the pandemic. I've been back a couple times the past year and it... has not aged well. Prices have almost doubled from pre-panfemic levels and food quality has dropped right off. I think the dropin quality is in large part because the cliental has pretty much vanished and the food just sits. Or maybe I'm just hitting slownights. I feel sad for the owners, but I doubt I'll be back after tonight's dinner. Good luck Red Rice... Read more
It's a rather quaint little chinese buffet in Port Hope, one that my mother and late step-father used to frequent quite... often. While it was my first visit to this restaurant, it was absolutely nice to see that one of the smaller buffets hassurvived the business killing pandemic. On to the food, while it's a smaller venue, they do have a decent selection of items,and honestly, how much do places like the Mandatin waste because no one's interested in X, Y or Z? Mixed Vegetables, on parwith other locations that I love, admittedly I only rob the broccoli from this particular dish and it was impressive with flavorand cooking. Garlic Shrimp was also on par with other places but I will give them kudos on properly cooking the smaller shrimp,a lot of places overdo them. Chicken Wings, I was actually blown away by their breading, a very nice house blended batter thatsat outside the norm of most other Buffet's I'm accustomed to, that being said, nothing beats Loon Ho's chicken wings inPeterborough!!! Chicken on a Stick!!!!? OMG, here's one that you don't find very often, in fact outside King's Buffet (RIP) Idon't know where else you find this item, and there was 0 disappointments here, it was cooked perfectly and tasted great, thoughimo, they could easr off the Ginger just a little. Cheese Wonton was very impressive, I got my first servings of this itemafter they had sat for a slight bit and that honestly made them perfect for my pallet, I do not enjoy the taste of cream cheese,but a couple places do this quite well, my second serving was fresh out of the kitchen and the strong taste of the cream cheeseknocked it down for me a bit, but I still enjoyed them. Egg Rolls, these are always hit and miss for me with the internals, andunfortunately this one was a miss. The strong taste of deep fried Ginger was a total turn off for me, but I do know that A LOTof people do enjoy this style of flavor. Chicken Balls were as you would expect from most anywhere that s Read more
Last five times me and my boyfriend have been it made us both sick to the point of throwing up. Food is cold and taste old.... Don't recommend trying. Prices are not worth it for the quality of food. Read more
The food is never fresh, always seems like your eating leftovers from lunch. Not much choice and some items are almost cold. ... They never top items up. Containers are almost empty at 5 to 5:30 pm? This place is the only dine in Chinese restaurant inPort Hope. You would think they would take advantage of this, but sadly they put forth very little effort. By the way.....it'snever busy here, only a handful of customers.....that should tell you something. Read more
I recently took my family out to eat at this restaurant. The staff were very attentive. The food was served made, hot, and was... absolutely delicious. The place was clean and was esthetically pleasing. I look forward to eating here again when the buffetreopens. It was closed due to reduced in-person dining due to the pandemic. Read more
Great as always. My Dad and I visit Port Hope once per year every September. The Red Rice is a must stop every time. Our go to... place for delicious Chinese food. I wish we had this place back home. Food is always fresh. Love the won ton soup and the sweetand sour sauce isn’t the usual sweet sauce, it is perfect. The items on the buffet are well thought out. Clean, comfortableand great staff. Please keep supporting your local restaurants. My father and I hope to continue eating at this one for a verylong time. Read more
Delicious food with a good variety. We've eaten here countless times for years, and held a great many special events. The hosts... are gracious, accommodating, and expedient. They are always polite to customers, and appreciative. It's not a huge buffet,however it is good food and very reasonable prices. Read more
