Review City Light Restaurant - St. John's

Bev King
They aren't really worth 1 star....cold food and I've had fresher food in my refrigerator for over a day then what I had there this week ....my friend took her mother there for lunch buffet and there were 3 other people waiting to go into the restaurant and they were all in wheelchairs and when the doors opened at 11:30 A.M. they were told that there was no buffet until 5 o'clock that evening....my friend and mother walked out not knowing what those other poor people decided to do....they need to update the hours and when buffets are being served and also serve fresh food again....I use to go there often but never again.

NEGATIVE 10 stars ….1st off we ordered egg rolls and got burnt spring rolls, then we got the honey garlic pork ribs, I watched the server take it up from the Buffett table, the ribs were dry and we found a piece of chewed up lemon peel floating in the broth. We figure they fed us last nights Buffett left overs and the lemon must have fell from a customers plate. My wife and I ordered the Pad Thai. It looked like soup, No peanuts, and it was just bland noodles with some scrambled egg, I counted 3 small shrimp. We sent those meals back, she said she’d take it off the bill. Which she never did. Terribly disappointed in this, they charged us $115 for everything. I am literally sick to my stomach as I write this. Just disgusting. I’ll never go back. Don’t eat here!!!

IF I COULD GIVE -5 STARS I WOULD Ate this tonight apr 29th spent 90$ and it ALL taste like fish. Asked two different lady’s why the chicken balls and the soo guy tasted like fish and they just laughed in my face saying sorry. The soo guy looked like it was shake and bake batter and the chicken inside was dry and hard. The rice was all clumped together and cold. I see the lady take my wonton soup from the buffet and still charged me full price that was cold to. I bought it home to my dogs and they took 10 mins to decide to eat it. NEVER AGAIN will I eat here and I hope this helps people to not waste there money here to. OUT 90 BUCKS

I'm being very generous giving this joint a 1 star. This is without question the worse Chinese food I have ever had and I have eaten a lot. The food was cold, service wasn't great and I will never eat here again. My suggestion is do not waste your money, stay away.

Bland food lacking in choice for a buffet. Overpriced for what they have. Dishes looked dirty and for the hour I was there no fresh food brought out. Staff seemed attentive but the place was empty.

Not as good as before the pandemic. Buffet is back on the go, bit the selection has dropped in quality, all probably due to the vid itself. But at 30$ a person, it is a bit disappointing.

This was honestly the nastiest Chinese food I've had, everything tasted and smelled like fish, the wonton soup was cold the rice was flavorless and was stale the beef and broccoli wasn't fully cooked the egg rolls were spring rolls which is false advertisement and the su guy chicken was dryer then my kitchen table my dogs didn't even want to eat it when it was brought home I could only try a peice of what was on my plate before I decided to get a to go box the only thing that was realitivily decent was my glass of coke

Great buffet. Great tasting food.. Buffet was great with a nice variety. Best type of buffet and food quality i have found in or around St. John's NL. Also the address is 450 Topsail not 470.

Buffet. Hands down this is the best Asian buffet in town! Big fan of the Coconut Chicken. Yum.

Overall, however, the food didn’t rise above the level of adequate. Coupled with the impersonal service from the awkwardly idling staff, it made for a forgettable meal.
