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.
I went today for lunch with my grandma & it was soooo good!! $20 per person!! Great price!! We come here about twice a year & every time we go it's super good!! My favourite are the little cocktail weiners & the general tao chicken!! Thanks Fu Lam for the delicious meal!!
I ordered chicken fried rice & beef & brocolli as a pick up. Unfortunately I did not find both of them appetizing. The beef to broccoli ratio was like a 1:5 , felt like I got skimped out. The fried rice was meh, lukewarm & bland & you could taste sort of the refridgeration. I usually dont go out of my way to leave bad reviews, but the experience was not so great.

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.

Pour moi & mes amis en général , on a apprécié notre moment , qui était très agréable, serveur très bien , gentil & souriant, un peu gêné , l'important est qu'il venait souvent nous libérer des plats (car c un buffet) .pour l'ambiance , ils sont dû pour un nettoyage des sièges & tapis qui laisse vraiment à désirer ,pas sûr si je pouvais m'assoir.La cuisine ça l'air propre côté buffet. & là nourriture nous n'avons pas tout aimé exemple le poulet général tao ,ordinaire!, question de goût je pense , mais en général c bon sans Woww . J'y retournerai & essayerai de me faire cuisiner qque chose .
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.

Qui va encore à cet endroit avec ces prix exhorbitants. Imaginez pour deux adultes avex taxes & pourboire, vous sortirez avec une facture de plus de 85$... pour un buffet!! Jadis, 2019, un vendredi soir pour deux ça ne dépassait pas 45$ & le restaurant était plein. Là, il y a de la place en masse. Dommage car ils ont quand même.un.bon choix de plats. Mais on finira par parlé au passé de cet endroit s'ils ne modifient pas leurs prix.
J'ai été hier avec ma famille, tout était parfait sauf une chose. En effet, a l'accueil a mon arrivé, je demande si une banquette est disponible voyant qu'il y en avait de dispo & le préposé a l'accueil m'a répondu d'un air très bête & insolent sans prendre la peine de regarder qu'il y en a avait pas avec des air condescendant. Mis a part ce monsieur très désagréable qui ne devrait pas travailler dans le poste qu'il occupe, le reste du personnel était très sympatique & gentil & la serveuse qui s'occupait de nous était A l'écoute de nos besoins & la nourriture était bonne. Juste domage qu'il mette une personne aussi bête avec les clients a l'accueil.
We will never again go to this buffet. We were ridiculed by the tip we gave. Our bill came down to 43.xx for 2 pax & when paying I got intimidated by the tip percentages to choose from where 15% is the lowest! So I chose other & tipped what I felt based on the overall experience which is 2 dollars. The server who is an elderly man exclaimed when giving us the receipt, "Tip of 2 dollars?!" to where I said "Yes". I thought it finished there but as he went away to the cash which is just a wall behind us, we overheard him say it again to his colleague like he couldn't believe that I gave them a tip of 2 dollars. Food was never that great in the first place. Very greasy compared to other Chinese buffet that I have been. Secondly, they have to work better in cleaning up the place. The chair cushions are all worn out & outdated. Lastly, if the experience would have been ok, we might have considered coming back & probably give a bigger tip.
