  Hubby felt like a Chinese buffet today for lunch and we hadn’t been back to the Wok and Roll for months. So off we went. Our first clue should have been that there were 2 people in the restaurant and this was 12:20 PM – in the past you had a hard time getting a seat. We ordered water and went to the buffet. The buffet isn’t huge anyway – but usually had nice variety and food was good. Two of the sections were empty so had no idea what was there originally because they never got filled. The fried chicken drumsticks looked horribly greasy but I took one anyway. Ended up not eating it because it had a funky smell. The stir fried vegetables looked like some that were served 2 days ago and reheated. The onion rings were dripping in grease. They had some kind of fried mushrooms that looked disgusting. All we were able to eat was wonton soup, noodles and rice. They had something else breaded but it was so greasy too that we tried to take the coating off and the meat was not green – but not sure what it was. So didn’t touch that. We had a hard time getting our water glasses filled, and dirty plates were not removed. When we went to pay we were told it was $22.50 and I asked for a discount (seniors or otherwise) because there was hardly any food and it was lukewarm. I think that’s expensive for two people eating noodles and rice. The lady at the till could hardly speak English and told me there was lots of food. I didn’t recognize her as the other owners all spoke English and were always bustling around the tables taking care of customers. So I asked if they were new owners, and she said they took over in November. I told her we were not happy with the food or service and that we would not come back – and she didn’t seem to care – possibly there was no reaction because she didn’t understand me. I am not sure. But we are never going back to this restaurant – buffet or ordering. I can’t see them staying open very long as obviously others aren’t happy with them either and aren’t going to the restaurant. Too bad – it was nice and close and the food was great! Not any more! I would give them no stars if I could…..don’t go there!

  I used to work in the area quite a bit around 5 years ago and got to end up knowing the area really well. One restaurant I frequented once every couple of months was Wok N Roll, I considered it one of the better Chinese lunch buffet spots in the area. It was cheap and fast as you could eat all you wanted for $10 taxes in. I was in the area again yesterday and decided to visit this place. I found that the owners have changed and the decor has been updated, and was pleasantly surprised that they didn’t change the buffet price! Thing is, the food quality is not quite as it was a few years ago. The restaurant seemed clean and the selection was good. The food just seemed to lack seasoning. To be honest, this actually probably is healthier, but wasn’t quite what I was looking for if going out to eat. The chicken balls, dry veal, and chicken wings were fried crispy, but lacked the seasoning salt/MSG flavour I’m used to.Likely will come back as the service is quick and the price reasonable, just disappointed it changed.
