Reviews for Emerald Buffet in St. Catharines, ON
Food is not good at all. The selection is not large to begin with, plus half the trays are empty. Don't be fooled by the price,... spend the extra 10$ and go to the Mandarin. Business advice to you guys, don't use no name garbage to keep your prices cheap inorder to compensate. People will pay more money for a better experience and food. Rebuild your brand before it's too late Read more
The food was good. My daughters first time, she enjoyed most of her meal, the soup was cold and there was only one flavor of ice... cream. Also there was a man sitting behind us watching a movie on his phone, it was very loud and disturbing. It should not beallowed in a public restaurant. I was disappointed he wasn?t told to turn it off. I have been to this restaurant many times andhave never had anything like this happen. Thank you Read more
Me and my boyfriend just ate here and it was absolutely disgusting. $27 per person for soggy, cold, oily food. Very few... selection with mostly empty trays. Bit into a piece of cake that tasted like mold. Would give 0 stars if possible. Save yourmoney. Read more
STAY AWAY!!!! For $27 per person this restaurant is an absolute atrocity. Empty trays, slow service, and lack of options. You... have to get your own water so in a way I guess it?s authentic to the buffet style. Even to pay your bill you have to put in someeffort to flag someone down because no one bothers to check on you. To top it off there was a dead fly in the jello! Stayaway. Save your money. Read more
I use to go here when it was under old ownership and the food was good. Me and my boyfriend went there today, the food was cold,... some of it stale, the food was dry, hard (lemon chicken) and the taste was horrible. There was only 1 other couple there when wewent. Also all the deserts were stale and the ice cream look very old. Would not recommend going there and would never go back! Read more
Updated: this place used to be a go to place. Especially for families on a budget. It is unbelievable that for the same level of... food served over years that the price for one person is $27 plus tip. I fully understand there is inflation. But for a placethat has a quarter of the mandarin items. As well as many other all you can eat in st catharines. This is very unfortunate. Asthe dessert option were only 4 items. And many the trays being full but food being cold. Slow service on plates being clearedand water being refilled. Today was my last visit here. Sad day Under new management! Trays of food are actually monitored andrefilled. Best bang for your buck when it comes to All you can eat Chinese food. I eat here at least once a month. If all traysare full you are sure to enjoy your food for the price you pay. Hopefully they can keep up the good work Read more

If I could give this place 0 stars I would. Came here on a Thursday night for all you can eat. $23, most of the food was gone... or if there was anything left it was dried up and hard as a rock. I went to put my fork in a chicken ball and it flew off myplate. There were no noodles, the salad bar had nothing out. The ice cream bar didn?t have much ice cream remaining in the 4tubs. The desert bar was stale. Pastry puffs should melt in your mouth not hurt to bite into. We were there for about 45-1h andstill no fresh food was put out. I paid $23 to eat rice, empirical roll, hard chicken ball and a little cup of ice cream? neveragain !!!!! Read more
