Unreal. People lining up at 5:30 a.m.? Even if I was jobless like most of those shitbags, my time would be worth more than that.

Who in their right minds would wait 6+ hours in a line for an oriental buffet, the dinner price of which is $24? Motors is right, my time is worth more than that. The food is probably unauthentic, round-eye crap too. They'd be better off with a box of Minute Rice and a bottle of President's Choice sweet and sour sauce. Pathetic.

I've been there a couple of times...the food is basically "Presidents Choice" stuff on a larger scale. I always get a kick out of the morons who pile the plate 6 inches high with stuff, like it was last call or something. It's ALL YOU CAN EAT...it'll still be there in 10 minutes when you go back.

You'd like it zill...all Asian women willing to fulfill your every desire, as long as that desire was for more wet naps, or a beverage refill. Don't use my name though, it could be trouble.

Apparently, the koi in the front lobby don't respond well to being hit with toonies...who knew?

Damn, I wish they'd be attracted to me. Old guys dig me it seems. The older and droolier the better.

Next time you're in Vancouver I'd be happy to fix you up with an asian lady! [:p]

We have a place like that here called "Foody Goody". I'm not sure if the owners realize "food" and "good" don't rhyme.

I've never understood the attraction of these buffets, especially the ones where there are big tubs of various sauces (sweet and sour, black bean, etc.) at the end to flavour your food. Might as well just have a cup of sauce.

Don't know about where you are, but have you seen the people that frequent them? All that food and so cheap.

Where's your sense of adventure WWUI82? Think of it as the floorshow... most nights it's better than any dinner theater crap in town.

It's a recipe for comedic gold: the tables are VERY close together and the chairs tend to be a bit on the rickety side. I keep hoping for a bit of impromptu physical comedy, but no "ruck" yet.

Ha!! I think you forget where I live. Wasn't it voted the fattest city in Canada a few years back?

** shouldn't say where I live. Where I'd have to go if I wanted a Chinese buffet **
