Buffet Chinois Fu Lam earns mixed reviews, with diners praising its generous all-you-can-eat format, broad variety of dishes, fresh and well-presented options, and friendly, attentive staff in a convivial, family-friendly setting. The upside includes notable selections from the wok, seafood, soups, desserts, and vegetarian options, consistent refills, and good value for many, plus a lively live cooking station and a large, clean space. On the downside, several guests complain about price-value mismatches, occasional quality swings, items missing from the buffet, dishes served cold or not as flavorful, and long waits for takeout or delivery, especially on weekends; some report overcrowding or inconsistent service and even a few less favorable experiences. Overall, Buffet Chinois Fu Lam seems like a dependable, budget-friendly buffet that suits families and casual meals, but experiences vary and it may not meet expectations for those seeking premium quality or perfect consistency.
En salle. Un des derniers buffets chinois à volonté. Un choix assez grand & ben en masse pour une personne avec une petite ou une grosse faim. Convivial, ambiance amicale & décontractée, abordable pour les familles, super valeur qualité/prix & gros bonus sans prix: les enfants adorent le concept & les ados apprécient la variété. N'est pas un resto haut de gamme à 100$ le couvert, mais bien un resto familial qui vous offre un repas À VOLONTÉ, à un prix plus qu'abordable, soupes, salades, fruits de mer, viandes, menu intl/enfants, chef live qui nous fait des pâtes & des grillades à notre goût & un buffet de desserts, etc, il n'y a vraiment que pas de quoi se plaindre, vraiment. Moins de 4 étoiles est tout à fait injuste pour ce resto de renommée qui offre autant de services, depuis si longtemps & pour autant de familles.
This is a solid 4 star experience in my opinion. Price is really reasonable, choices are varied but it's not overly complex, desserts have great variety too & everything is super fresh & tasty. The waiters were do attentive I could barely finish a glass of water before it was refilled. I am so impressed honestly & will definitely be back.

I recently dined at Fu Lam Buffet & was impressed! The vast selection of dishes catered to various tastes, from seafood to vegetarian options. Standouts included succulent shrimp, tender beef, & flavorful stir-fries. Sushi & dessert stations offered delightful treats. Service was attentive, with friendly staff replenishing dishes promptly. Cleanliness & ambiance were also noteworthy. Overall, Fu Lam Buffet offers exceptional value, quality, & variety. Ideal for family gatherings, dates, or group outings.
Very friendly customer service at the front & from the waiter who regularly came to pick up the plates & refill the glasses with water.
I was pleasantly surprised with the food, I enjoyed many dishes, mostly seafood, rolls, noodles, & soup, that were well cooked & seasoned. I also enjoyed the ice creams (mango, strawberry, & vanilla) & a few cakes (pistachios, blueberry ice cream, & vanilla). The taste of those desserts was well-balanced & not too sugary. The fresh fruits were very juicy & sweet. I also had a Jasmine tea, which I drank along with dessert.
However, the washroom smelled so repulsive, which is why I put 3 stars for the atmosphere. I went in the beginning, & unfortunately, I forgot to let the manager know before leaving. Hopefully, they will read this review & do something about it.
Otherwise, I could consider going back or recommending, with discretion.

When I eat I want a balance of meats & other things in my dish. As for other things there is a plethora of selections, but when it comes to meat this place disappoints.
I counted a total of 3 red meats I couldn't touch because of too much sugar. I prefer sweetness in my dessert, not in my main course. Then there is chicken wings, the only meat I could eat & that is made of mostly skin & tendons. There are two other choices, hot dogs & bacon that I consider junk.
The same chain Restaurant in Montreal offers sushi & shrimp for lunch, why not this one?
Conclusion: there are other buffets that offer a variety of edible meats. I am not going back there again.
Le buffet chinois Fu Lam a bercé mon enfance. Chaque mois, ma famille m'y emmenait & chaque fois, je mourrais d'envie d'y prendre tout ce qu'il y avait de bon...jusqu'à ce que je sois sur le point d'exploser au dessert.
Aujourd'hui, j'y vais rarement mais non sans ces souvenirs innocents dans ma tête. Oui, l'éclairage est sombre & oui la nourriture, quoique bonne, n'est pas à la hauteur des restaurants de haut gamme... Mais comment ne pas s'empêcher d'aimer la chaleur du wok choisi & préparé devant nous, d'être en transe au goût du poulet sucré, de saliver devant les morceaux de gâteaux & avoir l'enfantine envie de casser un biscuit chinois pour y lire un proverbe par pur plaisir?
Pas cher, bon & service agréable quoique pas trop présent.
