Many diners describe Buffet Chinois Fu Lam as a fast, reliable option for takeout with quick pickup, friendly and courteous service, generous portions, and reasonable prices. The place operates as a counter rather than a buffet, and photos can be misleading, with orders arriving hot and tasting consistent over time. Beef with broccoli is praised for tenderness and seasoning, while some items such as wontons, egg rolls, and certain fried dishes can be greasy, with thick wrappers or overcooked pasta in some combos. A recurring quibble is that chow mein is often swapped for chop suey when ordered, a quirky but persistent issue. Overall, the experience is described as delicious and dependable, with fast service and attentive staff that encourage return for familiar American Chinese flavors.
Repas à emporter très rapide.

J'ai appelé 15 minutes avant de passer & c'était prêt.
La nourriture était bonne.
Service excellent.
Merci beaucoup
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ for flavor.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ for combos.
⭐❓❓❓❓❓ for the mysterious disappearance of chow mein.
We LOVE this place. Truly. When we want American Chinese food, this is THE spot. Always hits. No debate.
HOWEVER.
WHERE. IS. THE. CHOW. MEIN.
Every single time we order chow mein, we receive chop suey instead. & listen; chop suey is GOOD. We like chop suey. But one day we ordered a combo with
At that point it felt like a threat. Or a social experiment. Or the kitchen saying,'You don't want chow mein. You want chop suey. Accept your fate.'
Still ordering. Still eating. Still confused. Please release the chow mein from captivity. 🆓🍜

So I passed a 237$ order at 11 am for delivery for 6 pm when the open at all... so I was 1 of the first orders . She confirmed that I will receive it after 6 but before 7.30 I said ok
Here come 8 pm still no order I called
She came up with.We got slammed with a bunch of orders.The kitchen is behind.She's sorry for the delay, but my food is being made now.Yes at eight o'clock
So I said, okay, will it be coming soon?She says yes before nine here he comes nine o'clock doorbell.Rings food shows up.
Haid left a nice tip, even though there is no button to refuse, a tip.Had to leave a tip
Start taking the food out of the boxes noticing. There's no Fried Rice, no chicken balls. The pineapple thing one serving a wings
No Fried Rice.
& the list of items we're missing that goes on.& on including spare ribs
Here I go call the restaurant again.She answers saying she's taking no more orders.The kitchen is wiped out.There's not enough food giving me the spill.I said I am not calling for an order.I receive my order.Enters things.Missing in my order.She says, oh I understand but replaced it with other things, because while we ran out
Explain sideways that I was one of the first orders that came in.So I should have been one of the first orders that were made to go out.I don't understand how my items are missing.She goes on about whatever excuse she has.& that there was a delay in the kitchen & they were bombarded, but everybody knows that this is an excuse.Every year that they give knowing full.Well, who doesn't order chinese food for new year's?
She goes on about whatever excuse she has.& says, oh, for your next order.I'll give you a twenty dollars off
At the end of the day, everything that is missing calculates more fifty & up dollars.I find this very ridiculous & at this point I just want my money back & I should only be charged for what I ordered, not for the replacements because I didn't ask for a replacement.
Service here was awful this year. I am not going to be ordering from this place again. & come on friday, i'm going to be making another phone call.Requesting either a massive discount on my next order for me to order again.Because it is tradition & i've been ordering from here for 8 yrs enynyas, sometimes they have complications, & there's things missing.But never to this extent
Oui une fois de temps en temps j'aime me gater & partir chez Fu Lam chercher un numéro 7 qui comprend un régal de mets chinois & c'est toujours aussi bon aujourd'hui que dans un mois car la recette reste la même avec un goût de revenez-y , & malgré que je me déplace à faire 10 km pour cette gâterie cela en vaut le déplacement aussi le service est courtois & rapide oui je recommande ce restaurant chinois à ce qui veulent se gater bon appétit

Nous avions commandé un combo pour 2 personnes. Macaroni, boeuf au brocoli, crevettes tempura, egg rolls, poulet à l'ananas, ribs, riz & soupe wonton. La pâte des wontons étaient tellement épaisse! Ils étaient trop gros avec trop de pâte. Le riz était bon. On avait seulement 3 minis morceaux d'ananas dans notre plat de poulet & ça ne goûtait pas du tout l'ananas. Les egg rolls n'étaient pas si bons. Le macaroni était trop cuit, mais ce qui m'a le plus surpris était que la nourriture en général était tellement huileuse.. Trop à mon goût. Le boeuf au brocoli était super bon par contre! Viande tendre & brocolis bien assaisonnés & cuits! Pas si pire, mais je ne recommande pas.
I love this restaurant one of my favorite in the area ...the food is delicious & our server literally ran out to bring me my sunglasses to the car because I had forgotten them on our table ❤?
