Eclipse Asian Buffet - Burlington

YummyI think I ended up in a Japanese restaurant thinking it's Chinese lolThe name is Spicy_Oh well I'm kinda glad I did.

This placed used to be an AYCE Chinese buffet before as well named Red Maple.

The single WORST dining EXPERIENCE EVER!!!__This is only HALF an account of our experience!__It's now called SPRING ASIAN BUFFET.

We were in the area and quite hungry so we decided to check out their buffet . The price was much lower than August 8 (our usual choice) . We tried a small amount of various items . I would say that as the suburbs go this place would be considered average and below average by Toronto standards . The only thing that really stood out were the dim sum offerings - I liked those , especially the shrimp dumplings . My husband enjoyed the soup . The rest of the items were covered in batter and/or pretty boring . Even the maki rolls were boring . I would rather spend the extra money and go to August 8 - it's all you can eat but not a buffet . You order as you go and they bring it to the table hot and fresh . As the saying goes , you only get what you pay for . Also, the manger was incredibly rude ......he sat us by the kitchen even though the place was practically empty ( we came for an early dinner) . They were cleaning around us and banging around in the kitchen . We decided to switch tables and the manager immediately told us that we weren't allowed to switch tables and this is the way it is at every restaurant . Really ? This is Canada , not a communist country . I have never had a manager of any restaurant tell me I couldn't switch tables if the restaurant was empty . To spite us, he sat the young family who arrived for dinner with two young / loud children right beside us . Again , the restaurant was completely empty other than these two tables . Very bad to treat clients in this manner - has this guy ever worked in hospitality in this country ??We won't be back due to the mediocre food and rude management . Do yourself a favour and check out August 8 on Brant St - worth the extra bucks for all you can eat . They have both Japanese and Chinese options (dim sum etc)

I came here the first time on an impulse looking for Chinese food. The selection is not as massive as most other buffets, but the options are fresh, hot and delicious!I was sad that they had no lobster, and the server actually went to the back and had a fresh plate made even though it was close to closing. The soup is hot, which is a bonus for a buffet.I would definitely come back again. And the price of $14.99 is a deal!
