I've been here twice with my buddy Andrea and we are making plans to go weekly - it's that good. Buffet is divided into sections: salad, fried treats, sauced meats (like kung pao chicken), dessert, sushi, and soup. Everything looks sumptuous as you roam the buffet, and almost everything is delicious. Even the sushi is fresh, which is a real victory for a buffet!My favorites so far are the potstickers, sesame chicken, potato salad, and their soft serve, which is a beautiful way to top off such a gluttonous event. The staff is polite and attentive, and the restaurant is clean and serene.Best food coma you'll ever have!

A small buffet styled Chinese restaurant.The reviews rave about the sushi, but the sushi here is not even good.If you come here just plan on having typical Chinese food that you can find at any other Chinese buffet.. and like all other Chinese buffets this place was just alright. The thing that's most appealing is that its not too expensive.

About as close to heaven as you are likely to find in Spuncouver (or Vantucky if you like). A New York (ish) Jew could look a long time to find this pearl. I considered giving this place 5 stars - but I'm still holding out for that one.I think I tried everything at this buffet! (exclusively for the benefit of my gentle reader, of course). Even the soup was above par (the egg drop at least). Many many appetizers (bbq pork was moist and tasty), fresh and delicious sushi! A fairly full salad bar with yummy potato salad but unripe tomatoes. The egg rolls and green bean dish were boring but I really liked everything else I tried, including mussels, potstickers, curry chicken, fried calamari, beef w/three types of shrooms.The service is friendly and professional, the restaurant is clean. I didn't even look at desserts after eating that much but it looked about the norm. They did have soft serve of course, and I managed to suck down a shot of green jello before paying the tab - a mere $7.50 for lunch per person (plus tax of course, since it's Washington - but heck, pot's legal there!).I love this place! While not the best Chinese food I've ever eaten, it is definitely up there with the best Chinese buffets I've tried - east coast included!

I went once last week and had the buffet. It was full and hot. The food is great. Nothing is greasy and all the dishes were very fresh. The mussels were perfect and the hot and sour soup was one of the best I have had. Don't miss the green beans on the buffet, they have a tasty light sauce and are expertly cooked. They deliver and the delivery person flew by like a flash of light getting the food out the door when I was having the buffet.Tonight we had family over and we tried the to go menu I picked up last week. It was amazingly good for take out. It was hot, fresh and plenty for six people. We paid less that 40.00 for everything and still have left overs. We had mu shu pork and all the condiments came with it like sweet hoisin sauce and soft pancakes. The broccoli beef and chicken chow mein were vibrant with color. It all tasted great. Exactly what I was craving. We just bought a house near by and finding a great Chinese food restaurant was essential. We didn't think it would be this easy.

So we have been ordering from them for a couple years. I love the ease of ordering online. Once I had even hit the wrong button stating that I would come get it. I got a call a few minutes later, TOA asking me if I was really coming because usually they deliver. Thankfully he was correct, I would have waited a long time for it to show up.The food is without question the best delivery in Vancouver. I also have to say that the food is always wonderful. I have nothing but raves for Taste of Asia.Food is Great!!!Even better they are a group of incredibly kind humans.I will say that when you order expect it to take about an hour for them to get it to you. It's not Pizza on every corner. It's quality food!

We have have looking for a good chinese food place since we've moved here in July. We had the cashew nut chicken, pork lo mein and egg rolls. We had them deliver and they were at our place in about 30 minutes! We thought everything was fantastic!! It was all piping hot...veggies were fresh and crisp and not overcooked like a lot of places . This will be our go-to place in Vancouver for chinese food.

We heard a ton of good stuff about this place, but we've eaten here a couple of times and don't really care for it. The buffet was mostly bland, but there's a lot of selections, so you can usually find something with good flavor to it if you do some searching. The fried foods are REALLY REALLY fried, so most of them are too greasy for either of us, and the stir-fry dishes seem to be rubbery and usually on the bland side.They do have three or four types of "sushi" rolls on the buffet, and a bunch of desserts, and it is nice they offer a good range of foods in the chafing dishes, but nothing really stands out here. It's not cheap, but it's not expensive; it's not awful, but nothing has made us have to come back; the service is okay, but it's nothing special.We've also been overcharged here in our first few attempts, and while they fixed it right away, we were glad we had taken time to read the entire bill and cross check it with the menu.We had to work to figure out if it was a two or a three star place, but it's just down the road and we don't bother to eat here. We go to House of Beijing or Peking Garden instead... so that makes it two stars for us.They are definitely happy to see groups come in, they welcome children, they do also have normal menu items (which we have ordered from, and don't care to try again). The servers and staff were cheerful, but they seemed to have hearing and vision problems whenever we tried to wave one down.All-in-all, it could be worse, but we still would prefer to try an unknown restaurant instead of coming back.

This is what you would expect of an Asian buffet. I do wish they would have more options and a Mongolian grill.The have the standard fried selections, soups, salad, and crab legs that would take days to get any meat out of.In this case you get what you pay for, the price is cheap. If your just looking to feed a hungry stomach this is the place.
