Review Szechuan Palace Restaurant - Victoria

Went with a group of 5 guys for lunch on a Saturday. Ordered combo for 6a and added a few items. We were hoping for the buffet but that's only on Saturdays for dinner. BUT we had more than enough food and cheaper. Food was super fresh and tasted delicious! Will be back to try Buffett.

All of my Family and Friends Absolutely love the Buffet here! The original owners know how to keep customers very happy and keep us coming back. The Quality, Service, and Prices were all perfect. Hope the new owners see this too, so we can keep coming back.

** This business is on Burnside Rd., East , I wanted to order from this restaurant to see if everybody was right… I had heard from several people that the Buffet had reopened, and it looked super. I was ordering through skip so I looked through the menu and found combo number four for 1 which was basically sweet-and-sour pork, house chow mein, and almond chicken since, I couldn’t find any option to switch from pork to chicken balls on the skip app so I called the restaurant. The lady I spoke to was so sweet and patient and she explained to me that they would send me a charge for additional 4- to upgrade through Skip and we parted ways, and after about 20 minutes saw that the skip driver was going to the restaurant but I have yet to receive the charge from the restaurant. so I called again and told them I hadn’t received that charge yet. She said Skip had changed the policy so that the restaurant couldn’t do that anymore but this time, she said, it was on the house for the upgrade. This is my new favourite restaurant to go to when I’m craving Chinese food HOWEVER THE NEW OWNERS TAKE POSSESSION OCTOBER 1, 2023. The house chow mein was spectacular. The almond chicken was great and the sweet-and-sour chicken balls just cut like butter it was really good and delicious. I just can’t wait to re-order it again or go to the restaurant for a dine in experience . I asked the Owner if they were leaving the recipes with the new owners, and she laughed… This just recently found a jewel of a restaurant may end up, not carrying forward with the delicious food and the big portions

THIS PLACE WAS AMAZING!!! I went here w/ my parents+siblings and as soon as we came in a nice lady welcomed us. She wasn't like other ppl who would've just recommended the most expensive thing, she actually helped us get the most cost effective and filling menu items, keeping our appetite and budget in mind. She kept us feeling happy and welcome, the food was delicious and obviously freshly made(!!!) and all in all, it was a cheap yet amazing experience. 100/10 experience. If you're looking for a sign to go here, this is it!

Overall experience was good. 1. Customer service was very good. 2. Restaurant is medium size 3. Service is good 4. Crowded during dinner buffet 5. The buffet options are amazing but during the very busy time, a lot of them were empty. They did their best to try to refill them. 6. I didn't see soft drink options. Some section of the machine were out of order. Not sure when they will get that fixed. 7. Very limited Dessert options and were empty during busy time. The buffet dishes were very delicious. There is a balance of food options 1. Few deep fried options 2. Few vegetable options 3. Two soup options 4. Mussels dish 5. Few seafood options 6. Fried Noodle and Fried Rice available I would come back again for the buffet. Maybe not during a very busy time. Edit Dessert options 1. Two types of Jellies are available 2. A few selections of fruits are available. - They fixed the soft drink machine. However, the soft drink options are not clearly labeled.

Great place to get some Asian food I didn’t stay for the buffet which I feel like is the most popular option, but I did get some ginger beef to go and the portion was so large that I ended up having two meals out of it. Well worth it for the $15 or so that I paid for it Will definitely come again if I’m ever in the area

My parents bring our family here. It's our favourite buffet in Victoria. It's best to call ahead to reserve a table. I ate two big plates, wonton soup, coffee and pop. I'll go back again, for sure.

Great Chinese buffet all kinds of meat and veggies. Fish, shrimp and shellfish as well. Two soups, fried rice and noodles. I liked the Jasmine tea staying hot in the coffee urn. Good service at our table. Lots of food to choose from. Brownies, Rice Crispie squares, Mango and other jellies for dessert, and pineapple chunks. Great value.

It was a pretty nice experience. I went there with my friends and the staff were amazing and treated us very well. The food was delicious and I just pay 22 dollars ”per person” ( I think It was not expensive compared to what we get). The only thing to improve is that they need AC during the summer in their restaurant because it was hot. I absolutely recommend it to ya to try it with your friends and families.

We wanted a traditional “greasy spoon” buffet and thought this would be it. We were genuinely surprised at the overall quality and taste, the heightened precautions towards buffet health and safety and the ultra friendliness of the staff. We just really enjoyed it.

We ordered from skip. The driver stole our food which was not cheap (trust me, you get what you pay for because the food is amazing) By time skip got it figured out, we could not reorder as the restaurant was no longer available on skip. We were not in the delivery zone, I had no vehicle at the time and the refund was in skip credits. The actual restaurant (NOT SKIP) went above and beyond for us. They offered to deliver to us even though we were not in their delivery zone. Not only is the food incredible, the staff are too! Go whenever you can...yummm....almond breaded chicken and the ginger fried beef 🤤🤤🤤 SO good!

I tried their dinner buffet last night and it was very mediocre. I'd give it 3/5 stars. The food was a little bit bland and the selection was fairly run of the mill. However, the food I have ordered off their regular menu for takeout has been much, much better. I'd give it 4.25/5 stars. My recommendation is to skip the buffet and try ordering from the regular menu instead.

Pretty decent food but not as good as it used To be. no crunchy green beans. And it's really quite expensive. For what you get 4 quality of food. The staff were a little stand offish and it seemed cold and uninviting. This used to be our favorite place to go for family dinners.

Love this place! The food is really fresh! The people who work there always remember us and they are super nice... they keep topping on the dishes that are most wanted with fresh and just cooked servings...

No buffet anymore during the week, but the lady there made it totally worth it: she advised us on what to order to make it cheaper (3 dinners vs/ 4 individual meals which was more than we could eat) and even offered an extra spring roll since we were 4. Lovely lady. Food was excellent and very affordable.

Quaint and cozy spot. Great lunch and efficient service. Food is great and price reasonable.
