they dont exist - all i expect is good food, hot food, clean kitchen, clean bathrooms and hot chinese waitresses in miniskirts - this combination just doesnt exist in calgary - you'd be better of going to mcdonalds and ordering an asian mcwrap or some such thing

As poor starving students in BC, we used to go to Uncle Willy's for the all-you-can-eat buffet. We would fill our back-packs up with food. So hungry, we would eat that slop.
The Deerfoot Mall Western Chinese Buffet is terrible, but you can eat a massive amount of Salmon sashimi... That's what I do when my family force me to go.

Apparently Home Food Inn used to have a solid Chinese buffet for dinner. I never went, but my mom told me they had both dim sum items AND a solid roast beef! Too bad it recently closed, so I never got to try it out.
Home Food Inn used to have tolerable buffet like a bazillion years ago.
And good Chinese Buffets do exist, I went to one in Montreal once, I don't know what it was called, or even if it really exists or just appeared in the fog for a single night to disappear forever to feed alternate realities, but it was good.

In Florida there are buffets where the restaurant is resting over the ocean water and damn they are amazing. All you can eat lobster that's tastier and more fresh than 99% of five star restaurants. That's pretty much the only time buffets are good, when the food source is supplied from within the immediate vicinity. Best meal I ever had was a $14 buffet, ate a ridiculous amount of lobster and crab and it all tasted better than any seafood I've ever had.

P.S. I'm Chinese, so my comments are valid here
HFI closed after a spate of really really bad health reports culminating in the second closure in three years. I did like going there, but apparently I had a good stomach. I had co workers who went and then never went back after having to do the 50 yard dash from desk to washroom.

We had one in Kelowna, too. What happened to them all? They get bought out by the buffet mafia?
Location: Close enough to make a beer run during a TV timeout
Exp:
In the 90s it was called Treasures of China. It is now Asian Buffet, and has really gone downhill IMHO. However they are still always packed- so maybe I'm the only one who doesn't like lukewarm MSG with a hint of random meat.
(Edit- now I think you might be talking about Foody Goody)
you cant find a decent chinese buffett in calgary
