From what I can tell, the experience you have here is heavily influenced by the expectations you have walking in. It is an old place, needs some work done on the building. However, the food itself is not bad at all. They have a diverse array of foods and desserts, from sushi to ice cream (which I will compliment on, the ice cream is competing with purdy's quality-wise) and all of it is pretty good provided it's what you're looking for. If you can order normal chinese food I feel you'll be accustomed to this place well. It's greasy but it tastes good. I love the spring rolls. Take some friends and see what you think!
物超所值的老牌自助餐廳
位於Surrey的東方自助餐算是一家歷史悠久的自助餐廳，應該有超過20年了，其中也易主多次。回想我上次光顧已是十年前的事，今天再臨所見建築物外觀變化不大，但內部曾在2013年作過全面裝修，因此環境比以往整潔得多，餐桌椅也全部更新，讓人耳目一新，值得讚賞！
餐廳在網上的食評優劣參半，有的時候不錯，有的時候很差。以我今次親身體驗後認為食物已達一般自助餐的水準，加上地方寬敞，環境優雅，備有中西各式餐點，日本壽司及蔬菜水果，有大量停車位等等，再對照價錢 (特別一提是長者九折優惠)，實在是物超所值。同時該餐廳是本地旅行團的熱門地點，經常都有旅遊巴士接送大批團友前來用餐，所以食物方面都保持流通及新鮮
自助餐價目表
Lunch Buffet $11.99 (11am-3:30pm, Sat-Sun add $1.00)
Dinner Buffet $15.99 (4pm-10pm, Sat-Sun add $1.00)

Basic food and simple service. When I visited Hong Kong and toured the instant cities in the new territories I experienced a number of eating establishments that catered to the Chinese workers and passing trade. They all had the commonalities of cheap prices, basic decor, buffet service, inexpensive cuts of meat, wide food selections, and lots to eat.. The restaurants had one purpose in mind: to feed people with a satisfying selection of food. There were no gournet pretensions or catering to refined or finicky tastes. Cleanliness standards were not in the squeaky clean spectrum but neither I or my travelling companions ever suffered any discomfort caused by what we ate.
The Oriental Buffet fits the mold of those eateries. I have eaten at the Oriental numerous times and have gotten more than my money,s worth. The usual foods are available - wonton soup, chow mein, sweet and sour pork, beef and broccoli, fried rice, etc. There is also a grill for cooking your own chicken or pork steaks. The selection of sushi is impressive and availabe fruit and desserts offer satisfaction to most appetites. The oriental may not appeal to all patrons but if you want an inexpensive and reasonable meal it's a good alternative to paying for glitz and decor.
I have gone here whenever I come to Surrey ever since I was a kid. Some people I know came here since my last visit and said it has gone downhill. Their experience could not have been more different from mine. The food was hot and well stocked. Sure a bit greasy but that is to be expected from what we call Chinese Food. I look forward to the next time I come in and can eat here again.
Wasn't Bad. I thought this place was pretty good.. The outside looks grungy but when you get inside it looked clean on a Friday afternoon. The food was deep fried greasy and sweet and salty. Isn't that what American style Chinese food is? I am from Calgary maybe BC people are used to a higher standard but it seemed about the same as what you would get in Calgary. The dim sum tasted good everything was pretty tasty except for the wonton soup broth which was watery but the actual wontons were good. Selection isn't the biggest (i've had buffets with over 100 items around this price point ), there isn't any big ticket items like snow crab or steak or anything but its not bad for $10.99.
A place to go where you want to eat good quality food at a very cheap price.
The food served are well cooked and are surprisingly prepared.
Except for the crabs. They are overcooked and sometimes there is no meat inside their shell.
The staff are friendly and they do their best to make you feel at ease.
Went for lunch. A few of the dishes werent so good. A battered fish was like hard plastic. I'm sure if it were fresh it would have been okay. On the bright side there were many more dishes that were delicious so it made up for it. Just leave the less than desired things in your plate. The waitress didn't seem to judge us haha. I had sushi, soup, and a little bit of everything and it was 85%/15% good to not so good.
I would go again for the price for lunch. $13.95!

I love this restaurant and go often. The food is great and the prices are great. The building is large so there is plenty of seating and there's usually not a lot of people there (I go around 5pm so it may get busy later in the evening). The restaurant is fairly old so it's kind of shabby. I wouldn't say it's dirty but it's not super clean either. The variety is awesome. There are so many different kinds of food and it's pretty good quality. I'm a really picky person and I like it so that says a lot. They have all you can eat crab but it's so dry and shrivelled up it's like pulling little pieces of cardboard out of the shell so I avoid that even though I love crab. But the rest of the food is great. The waitresses can barely speak english and we never know what they are saying so that's awkward. They only come around to ask if you want a drink then you're on your own but it's an all you can eat buffet so they aren't going to ask how your meal is every 5 mins. The food used to look like it had been sitting for a while but new management took over and now everything looks super fresh. I heard something about a food safety issue, they weren't keeping the food hot enough to pass the inspection so they've fixed that as well. Overall I'm very pleased with the restaurant, even more with the new owners. I'd highly recommend it.
People this is the place to take you friend and family from out of town if you want to impress anyone either a date,a proposal perhaps meeting future in laws I highly suggest this place you will be talking about if for years to come.
The lovely moth ball scent from the washroom will take you to another land once you walk in to use the facilities also the fresh cut flowers in the washroom does add to the ambience of this place.
When you walk in notice the quality furniture it is so nice that don't even want to put your piping hot plate of food on it.
The food has an essence all to it's own please make sure you go up for seconds or thirds but make sure you finish everything or else the server will scold you.
The price for dinner is a bargain the memories you will have of this place will be with you long after you leave so I highly suggest you head over and try out the gourmet truly one of a kind Oriental Buffet.
As far as Chinese Buffets go, this one tops the list for me. I'm not Asian, if that matters, so I may like it for different reasons than others. The food was fresh, and there was LOTS of variety, including very generous selection of various seafood dishes. The Dim Sum baskets were constantly being refreshed, the rice and vegetable dishes were not overcooked. I would actually say I can't wait to go back there again!
The tables were clean that I could see, although the windows hadn't been washed in months I'd suspect. So don't sit by the window and you won't notice!
I wish it was like it was with the old owners way back, where you pay as you go in, and everything is included. We had to wait quite some time before figuring out that we took the bill to the man near the front of the restaurant behind the bar.
I'd recommend it for the food, dessert, ice cream and value for money.
5 stars out of 5. It's not a 5 star restaurant, but as far as rating goes, I'll still give it a 5/5 for value.
