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.
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.

The food was not tasty. We did not enjoy the dishes & it was not fresh...the general thao chicken, pork had an indesirable taste..we won't come back, sorry..
I just ate there. The selection of food is not vast. The pork ribs were not fresh. The pizza had a tough crust & smelled weird. The chicken wings were small & had little meat. I was disappointed that the restaurant did not have sushi, which they usually have in stock. The tiramisu cake was frozen & stale. However, the waiter was kind & attentive to my needs.

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.
