After years of experience with this location, & being the SME of ayce, I would like to drop a fair review here, which also respond to a lot of reasonable negative reviews here.
First, let me start by saying that, there is no better buffet in Quebec. This is also not competing with those top Chinese buffet in Toronto. If you bring kids under 12, this buffet is REALLY CHEAP. There is a reason for the crazy line ups. The value is high.
For years, this restaurant has been cursed with the MALPRACTICE of embedding tips into the price without notice, it then asks for tips which fraudulently make customers double tip. Came back to visit last week, went twice & it seems they don't do that anymore after we did the math. However, like with the previous malpractice, there is absolutely no sign no mention about them rectifying it, so im sure lots of locals may continue to not tip anymore. But kudos to the restaurant for stopping the cheat.
Secondly, it is true that the service is lacking, until today. Any other decent buffet I've been in, my used plates would be removed when I leave the table. You'd be lucky if they ever come to clear. At this last visit, I asked to clear, he came to clear half only then disappeared. We gave up. Similarly with water refills, buffets are usually quick at it, not just for good service, but also to get clients full faster to save $$. Here you need to put conscious effort for water. But honestly, if they hire more, your bill will go up as well, then you will also complain more.
On the other hand, people forget that this is an affordable buffet (especially if you bring kids), there is really nothing more to ask from the restaurant besides the basics mentioned above.
Sure we need to pay ahead, so what? It is not uncommon on this planet. You know how convenient that is when you want to leave? You just leave, no time wasted on finding the bill & payment process. & guess what you can also easily skip the tips, not that I encourage. They already dont have enough people to serve, let's embrace their efficient payment way, so you dont have to wait more.
The food is great, i dont know what others are talking about. This is a quebec style buffet, remember. Check out the poutine, I bet you've never seen that much cheese curd at a buffet, they didnt cheap out. The stations of meat-carving for like smoked meat, steak, pork etc...they are generally great. (Inconsistent quality, but if 85 items are good out of 100, it is a good buffet, lets be reasonable). The pizza, salmon, wings, fried chicken, mussels, rings, veggies, pastas, quesadillas, etc are all amazing. Always filled up promtly until past 8pm. The dessert is a bit lacking, but arguably meet the minimum expectations. The Asian stuff like sushi & noodle station SUCK big time, but this is Quebec style, focus on the great 90%!
For our old local Brossardians, remember New Port & Vichy? This restaurant is the super saiyan version of them, all the old nostalgic selections have been retained. There is no better around.
Anyway, I just felt like giving it a fair comment, it is not perfect, but it is the best in quebec for its kind, & per dollar value.
Been looking forward to dining here for some time, but unfortunately the experience did not meet expectations. The meat was overcooked & quite tough, & the lasagna tasted like it had been reheated, with a dry texture. Given the price point & the wait to get in, I was disappointed with the overall quality. I hope the kitchen can address these issues, as the restaurant has a lot of potential.
P.s. the toillet men room 2 door (leaking)
The service & atmosphere are friendly ; however, the food is terrible. Chinese counter only rice & noddles acceptable. Fish counter salmon, shrimp too salty. Too expensive for the bad quality of food.

Huge variety & great for groups!
A massive buffet with an average overall food quality, but the seafood section was excellent! It's a fun & enjoyable spot to visit with a group of friends. Drinks cost extra. Pro tip: get there right at opening time because it packs out within minutes. Service was great & they refilled everything very quickly!
The food quality & variety here are excellent. Although the restaurant was very busy & appeared slightly understaffed for the high volume of customers, the overall value & experience were definitely worth it!
We went inside after standing in line for an hour. Given how crowded it was, I expected high-quality food, but don't count on the quality at all. Most of the dishes lacked flavor. The salad & dessert tasted good, though. In my opinion, this restaurant is suitable for people whose goal is simply to fill their stomach, not to enjoy high-quality food.
Overall, I would give a rating for every category a 3.5. In context,we came for brunch on a sunday & paid right when we came in, which was 137$ for 4ppl including tip which we had the option of 3,5 & 8%. Let's start with the food, the breakfast options were not the freshest including the hasbrown i had & the scrambled eggs my sister had. The crepes (not visible in the picture because it was under the french toast) were actually just pancakes that they poured over a pan of A LOT of butter & brown sugar right in front you (offered with peaches & chocolate syrup). The homemade breakfast potatoes on the hand were were really good, went back for a second serving. The rotisseries the cooks would cut for you, were obviously better quality, i got the smoked meat then i put it in some kind of bread to mimic the sandwich but it was too hard for my liking. Salads were good, fried chicken was soo good & juicy, & quesedilla i liked. The cheeseburger was also bomb. & there was a nachos station. Anyway, in general, lunch menus were more fresh. The pastries on the hand, like the cinnamon bun i had was cold as if it was left out the whole morning, which is to be expected i guess. Lastly, they do add fresh foods when they run out, the ones i saw were the churros & cheese sticks.My favorite dessert was the pudding chômeur. Additionally, my sister paid for a glass of orange juice for 4$ (not included in buffet price), which was offered to her by a waitress taking drink orders (they accept cash). As for the service & atmosphere, which was not inheritently bad since we didnt have much interactions besides straightforward & friendly, the cooks & bus boys looked tired & stressed (which i dont blame & completely understand)-- The place was busy & bustling, honestly, OVERSTIMULATED me a lot.
Atmosphere is super cute gives Las Vegas buffet vibes. This place used to be a lot better before Covid & I am sad to see how it's changed.
I think there is a big issue with parents, bringing their kids here & letting them touch everything & causes severe hygiene issues. Guys please control your kids it's embarrassing 😭
The kids behaviour is at the dessert station was very scary & not up to health code whatsoever.
I keep seeing repeated reviews on Google maps of this place giving customers food poisoning amongst a few comments & stories from people I know in person getting sick from this place so I will not be returning. I have not personally gotten sick from this place, but I feel due to the price increase, quality decrease, & behaviour of unruly guests, & children that it is not a safe restaurant to return to if you are prudent about your health.
Also, we brought my cousin there who is obviously a child & they asked us for an ID for her, but she is a child & does not carry around a wallet so we had to pay for her. Really disappointed.
We shared my nephews' birthday there, & we were delighted by the selection, quality, & service. The staff were friendly, attentative, & spoke English for this weary customer. We had an awesome time, & they gave a birthday special to him which was very cool. Love this place! We are going back again soon!
