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.
Beau repas (à volonté) ce vendredi (janvier 2024). je peux dire EXCELLENT service! Nous avons tous pour notre table, un serveur attitré qui enlève l'assiette sale, qui remplit notre verre d'eau, qui nous apporte le café... & la facture pas salée du tout! 30$ avec tx & pourboire. J'y retournerai assurément.
Ça faisait des années que nous y étions pas allés. Grosse déception!! Tous les plats sont en sauce ( les pineapple chicken sont ramolli au max), & la commande est incomplète. On me donne un crédit. Je retourne un autre jour pour prendre le crédit, le casier me dit que je dois prendre autre chose pour avoir mon crédit. Y m oblige à acheter davantage..pathétique. Y vienne de perdre une cliente.
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..
Buffet complet & excellent service. Les plats sont constamment remplis pour ne manquer de rien. Grande surface avec beaucoup de tables & de monde. C'est bon signe!

Nous avons été souper avec un groupe d'amis samedi soir. & c'était très bon, Nourriture chaude, bonne rotation, appart parfois trop cuit. Service 5 sur 5 toujours des refils d'eau/liqueur, serveur qui demande si tout vas bien, j'ai rien à dire. Je recommande cette place à 100% !
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.
La nourriture est bonne mais c'est meilleur en livraison que d'aller au restaurant. La soupe wonton est très salé. Malheureusement le restaurant semble un peu vieillot & la décoration aurait besoin d'une mise à jour, en ce moment on se croirait dans les années 70. Le service au table est rapide même pour un restaurant de buffet.
