Reviews for Phoenix Buffet in Red Deer, AB
We were here at 5:30 pm on a Sunday night with a family of 4 and were disappointed. The booth and chairs are all peeling big... chunks of imitation vinyl, despite having recently undergone a renovation? Most food items had very little supply. The softserve ice cream machine was broken and there were very few deserts left on mostly empty trays and only 2 tubs of ice cream had abit left on the bottom. (definitely not like the website pictures.) Food quality and preparation was poor on several items. Some of the battered food items were undercooked and batter was gummy. (marked lemon chicken and was shrimp inside). The staffwere very attentive and kind but we definitely did not get good value for money. $25/person i believe? I felt unwellafterwards and will definitely not go back. If you're going here for a meal look at the buffet first before agreeing to buy soyou know what you are getting. Read more
Wor Wonton is DISGUSTING! Covered in a slimy sauce .... no fresh vegetables! Called to discuss and the owner was talking over me... wouldn't listen to me or let me talk VERY RUDE! Don't waste your money!! Read more
Had an amazing experience here. I though this buffet was great, and it was only $18 at lunch. I really like the fried chicken... wings, beef tripe and all the dimsum. The service was even better than the food, our table was cleared regularly and quickly.The employees here were all so pleasant as well. I can't wait to come back! Read more
Good Chinese buffet, and we got new dimsum when we arrived. Not a lot of fruit selection, but loved the egg tarts for dessert!
Very nice place to eat all you can Chinese resto, all food is fresh, hot & delicious, but one thing that need to pay attention -... the chairs, need to be change. Read more
Food fresh good and tasty for all you can consume buffet! Service girl awesome but way too many choices to ... pick from! ie the buffet. Need a prodigious appetite or better yet come back again. Big spacious venue but quiet when we were there. 20.50$ per person more than reasonable. Would go again. Read more
Fantastic! We were there for lunch on a sunday. A good selection on the buffet at a very reasonable price. They told me lunch... during Monday to Friday was even a lower price. Salads, pizza, fries, onion rings, fried chicken as well as the typical Chinesefood. The ginger beef was amazing, just a bit of a "zing". Broccoli was cooked to perfection. Didn't try the dim sum. Hubbysaid won ton soup was good as well as the pepper beef and beef and broccoli. I enjoyed the salad bar. Coleslaw was yummy. The chicken balls had too much batter and the spring rolls weren't deep fried long enough for my taste. Vermicelli and thethick noodles were good. Amazing choices of desserts, all kept in a cooler. Why don't other places do this?? Ice creamchoices were cherry, something with sprinkles, rainbow and several others. I liked it wasn't typical chocolate, vanilla andstrawberry. I enjoyed the desserts I tried. The tarts had great insides but too much pastry, Nanaimo bars were typical, thecoffee tasting one was real good as was the one with caramel. There's not an over abundance of items, which is good. Too manychoices can be a bad thing as they tend to sit too long. Items here were all fresh and replaced often. Didn't get that "satunder the heat lamp forever" taste. There is something for almost everyone here. Decor is pleasant. Establishment and washroomswere clean, staff very friendly and helpful. One of the few restaurants where I witnessed them getting along and working as ateam. Nice for a change. Keep that up! I highly recommend this restaurant and will be back!! As a side note they do offertake out for buffet prices. Read more
