This was our first time trying Good Earth. 10 of us were there for Christmas dinner the service was outstanding for such a busy night. We had several orders with no issues. The food came out hot, huge portions and all together at once. The amount of take out that was leaving the kitchen( in boxes) while serving a full dine in amazed me. They were very organized and friendly. This will be our new Christmas tradition. We will travel from North Kildonan to St. James for great food and great service. Thank you.
Attended a birthday party here. Everything about this restaurant is good. The food tastes great; however, a bit on the spicier side (we don't eat spicy food). If you're in the area and looking for some Pakistani food then this place is worth a try.
If you want great quality Pakistani food with a great atmosphere to go with it, then Badshah Grill is the place to go. The food is always delicious and the service is always excellent. These guys pay attention to every single detail and keep the restaurant in perfect condition. It's always an amazing experience for the whole family.
We have been supporting this adorable family run and owned restaurant for years!! They’re so nice! We get the dinner for two every Friday from them :) the chicken balls are massive and delicious, the wings are so crispy and the chop suey is so fresh. Also love the rice, corn soup and crispy beef. Will always support them!
Amazing ambience, beautiful furniture and decor. The club sandwich was amazing, the chicken was fresh, so was bread. The fries were tasty as well. We also got a separate order of tandoori wings which were the tastiest we had in a long time.We want last time as well and got the Nihari, which was well spiced.
Great Buffet place inside the Fallsview Casino. The Grand Buffet will permanently close on Sunday October 15, at 9pm. It's really not a Great News for Casino Players. Service and Atmosphere are Great. Food choices are too good. Love Deserts. Please ENJOY GRAND BUFFET before close down permanently. I was there today October 15, 2023.
It was really Great Buffet.
It was really Great Buffet.
I had to check reviews before go there. I will never go back here. Worse experience I've ever had. Food was gross. When we go there was some food like chicken but when we went to take food there were nothing and when we asked manager was so rude. I had very bad stomachache after that night even I had small bites. We couldn't eat and they charged us for awful service and foods.
Don't go there or you will regret.

Food was authentic Gujarati food very much enjoyed.
Only thing is the hygiene is very questionable (just look at how they handle the food and cook in very confined quarters in the open kitchen).
The owner is so cheap that in spite of decades of having a successful business, he only has 1 dingy washroom at the very back of the unit that all 10-15+ employees must share with customers. The narrow passageway to get there has so many flies and smells very bad. Had to assert that I was in line to use the washroom when a cook from the kitchen tried to butt in and use it before me.
Owner prioritizes profits over keeping his employees and customers comfortable.
Another observation is that when the lady server was serving the freshly made rotis she always served my husband first before serving me. This happened on both occasions where we were served the rotis. Like in a typical and traditional Indian household where the man must get his food served first before the woman. Not sure if this was a one-off or if this is standard practice of serving at this restaurant embodying these regressive cultural "values".
Only a 1-time visit for me will not be returning again

I was visiting Ottawa from outside the province, and I stopped to try the buffet. When I entered at 2 pm, the place was empty without anybody. After looking for some time, an emplyee came from the back and told me that they're open. As I was about to ask her about the buffet, she told me right away that they didn't have naan bread. And then she asked me to pay for the buffet before I even see it or sit, and I did while in shock. The food was very good. But the atmosphere was weird and uncomfortable, so I ate quickly and left.
35$ per person, eh. Went for late lunch / dinner menu, sushi section tasted luke warm / stale, while the fried foods like takoyaki and fried shrimp are either super overcooked / inedible, or extra salty. Service is mediocre and at times can come off rude. Raw seafood is a tossup / warm¿ Only saving grace is their desserts which are a 5/10 at best.
The restaurant looks very nice with all the decor. The service was great, I didn't get the name of our server, but he checked up on us a lot and made sure we were comfortable and happy.
Food was pretty good aswell if you pick the right stuff, some pieces of meat/lamb/chicken would be very nice and tendor while others kind of dry but that all comes down to your own skill at choosing.
Price is honestly not bad for an all you can eat, compared to the all you can eat sushi places in Ottawa currently or Mandarin, this is a pretty good price point.

Excellent selection of food. Excellent prices. Fresh and tasty. Happy staff. Excellent dining experience. One of the best Chinese buffets in Calgary
Really disappointed with the food. I ordered orange chicken, General Tao chicken and Shanghai noodles.
The noodles was atleast eatable but the two chicken dishes were really bad. We couldn’t even finish the meal because it was making my stomach ache. When we checked the chicken it was just a ball of pooped up dough; with barely any chicken in it. Really not sure if they ran out of chicken while cooking but decided to go ahead anyway or changed cooks or something but this felt like a real rip off; we paid for nothing

Good Earth is solidly a good spot for Chinese. The prices are more than reasonable (lunch buffet is 14.99) and portion sizes generous. If you are going for the buffet they have more than reasonable food options options (I think it was about 9) including wonton soup. Their wonton are fresh and the broth tasty. Service is prompt, friendly and the restaurant is acceptably clean. I particularly like the way they prepare their mixed vegetable dishes... The veggies are crisp and crunchy... Not overcooked and soft at all... Saucing is tasty and diverse. I will definitely eat here again when craving wonton soup or mixed veg.
The decor is above any other Indian restaurant I've ever seen. Wonderful venue.
After reading positive reviews about the buffet, I had to try it. Service was excellent and the place was clean, but that's it for the positives. The food tasted good as well but was heavily battered. The honey chicken fingers were about 70% batter, chicken balls about 50% batter, the dry ribs also heavily battered. Extremely unhealthy but at $14.95 you are getting what you pay for.
We have been there last month for a $24.99 dinner buffet and not many selections the food is average, and you have to pay for the water.
The dessert section can be better, the most dish I like is the mussel with garlic/tomato sources/white wine which is pretty good.
They don't have any shrimp/chicken wings even though the menu had been mentioned. Only the grilled chicken breast and BBQ spare ribs as the main proteins.
Properly won't try it any time soon.

It’s busy and popular. The food worth the price. I like the toast, bacon, egg, and sausage. But we have to eat our breakfast together with flies and bees. The fact that they don’t provide any water and charge you $5 for lemonade that doesn’t even made of lemon is really disappointing.
Went here for a family occasion, and made sure to get here just as it opened for the dinner hour. The food was fresh, and was very good. There was plenty of selection of both Chinese and Western cuisine to choose from, along with salads and desserts. Of the group of six I was with, none of us were hungry when we left! We all enjoyed the fact that we could try a little of everything, including some new things that we never tried before, just to see if we liked them. Very clean, relaxing atmosphere and a place I would recommend.
The staff are super nice and friendly, and the food is top tier, I 100% recommend.
Fresh, hot, and mouth-watering! They replenish the buffet often, and the price is reasonable! You can find a huge selection of international dishes. It may be packed, but waiting time is not long. The staff are friendly and approachable. It's one of my favourite go-to places in Calgary!
I have been going to this place since I was a child and it is still as amazing as it was back then!
The buffet experience is really well done and the food is so good! Even taking out for take out is really well done, the staff are so polite!
Some of my favourites are the sweet and sour chicken with pineapple and the shrimp chop suey!

We come here every single time we visit Winnipeg and always have a great experience. The sushi is always great and staff are friendly. They have multiple gluten free options (sadly they don’t have a gluten free menu, something they should consider, but the chef always marks off everything that’s gluten free if asked) and they make it separately and specify which ones are gluten free when brought to the table. The ones in my image are not gluten free but the people who ate them said they’re very good too! If you are wanting gluten free you need to bring your own soy sauce.
Lovely, it was Amazing. I love it and more importantly, my Caribbean friend loved it. I came in an hour before closing and had the jollof rice, Abacha and suya; the complimentary zobo drink was great. I must say I finally found home here. Also, the waitress was lovely. It’s a little far from my location but I’ll make that journey anytime any day.
I love this place!! It's a bit more on the expencive side but it's absolutely worth it! I have a great time every time I go! Friendly staff, very quick and efficient, food was out very quick! I usually get either a platter to go or stay for the all you can eat options!
I came here for the lunch buffet, which cost $22, and I was severely disappointed. Most of the buffet dishes were practically empty, and what little food was there was barely warm. The noodles had been sitting so long that they were hard. The chicken wings were cold inside. The soups all had a film over them. The shrimp looked like it had been left at room temperature for days. In the 45 minutes I was there, they didn't refill any of the buffet trays. There were only 4 other tables with people seated, and not once did I get a drink refill or ask how the food was. Then, upon paying, they had the audacity to ask for a tip. I will never be returning here
Been to other Indian vegetarian restaurants but this one seemed not that great. Either the served items were too sweet or too salty. They served bhaji but no pav.
The place is too small for the traffic they handle and you are suppose to pick your plates and put it out near the washroom, which seemed a bit odd.
I have had Gujarati Thali before as well but this is just too hyped..!! Not recommend at all for $20 per person.

If you're new to Nigerian/Ghanaian cuisine, this restaurant provides an eye-opening experience worth the travel. With a mouthwatering abundance of flavours with each bite, MCUIRE consistently blows my mind. Please try their food for yourself. You will not regret it.
The food was absolutely amazing. I was skeptical to try because of the reviews so when I got there, I asked if I could have a look at the food options before deciding to dine in. Everything looked great and it was not as busy (Friday 6:30PM). I was seated and excited to try the food. I loved how some of the entrees were presented in small little bowls that it was easy&fast to get, made the experience fancy and just visually more appetizing. Everyone who served us were all so friendly that it made this experience top-notch worth it. $49/person isn’t cheap but the food quality, variety, service, atmosphere and taste was really worth it (+ free non-alcoholic beverages which is included in the price)- you get to eat what you want and if I’d gone to another restaurant near here, order a couple of entrees and drinks, the bill would have came out the same or more even. I would definitely come here again with my friends and family. Loved it!! Visited April 28, 2023.
Chose this place by Googling “Asian Buffet near me” and found this great little place in south Calgary! Very friendly greeting and an explanation that as it was 7 pm if any of the buffet options were missing or running low just to let them know and it would be made up fresh with an intent to not waste food. Options were great: sweet & sour pork, shrimp and broccoli, skinny and fat noodles, stir fry rice, delicious ginger beef 😋, hot & sour soup, wonton soup, salt & pepper squid, chicken and mushrooms, dumplings, sauces, mixed veggies, and more, dessert bar and ice cream selection. The restaurant was spacious, clean bathroom, speedy water refills and lots of people were thanking the staff for a wonderful meal. All positive and priced sensibly 👍 we will aim to go again.
We went there all the way from Windsor and our experience was not good. It was so congested that you literally have to squeezed while walking and sitting. Washroom was very dirty unfortunately it was a tasty food but other aspects was not up to the mark. We would love to visit again if conditions would have been better
Ordered take-out from here via UberEats.
WonTon Soup was really good, the rest was meh.
The bean curd and vegetables were flavorless and expensive for what it's worth. Salt and Pepper Squid was extremely flavorless aswell, can't expect too much from a buffet restaurant.

A friend and I go there all the time, it's run by a young husband and wife team who are always friendly. The sushi is always fresh and delicious and there is a large selection of appetizers, noodles and sushi. The presentation is always on point. It's definitely one of our favorite places to go.
They always have lots of selection for food specially on weekends! Note: I don’t love buffet that much since it’s either salty or they end up tasting the same. But Asian Buffet gives you option that serves different flavours. I could be biased however I go here for the crab soup and crab legs. So far they always have it and never disappoints. Please keep it on the menu.
Very expensive at over a hundred for two people with one domestic beer each. All the food was just basic couldn't point out one thing besides the ceaser salad that stood out. It's just your typical buffet food, so if you like to eat lots of food that mediocre this is the place for you. Desserts are good, service excellent they clean your table right away. View is amazing at night hard to see to foggy. Restaurant it's self very pretty. You must spend over 100 without alcohol to get free parking. To me not worth it.
Delicious food! You get a big serving for the price!! I got the Meal Combo E with orange chicken
