Orient Family - Stony Plain

Sensible Service. I live across the street from this place, and I like it a lot. I've been maybe 5 times (I usually eat out on Monday's, and they're closed on Monday's). The staff is very polite, and to be honest one of my favorite things is that they will give you a pitcher of ice water as you sit down. That's some basic and sensible service I know you're thinking you'd want coffee or soda, and I got some too, but having water to help you eat a heavy meal is actually really nice. I always drink the whole thing, and I like that I don't have to ask for individual glasses.<br/ <br/ Again, honestly, I'm not a big buffet fan and I try hard to get there for a la carte service and avoid the buffet. Their menu items are done really well, favorites like beef and fried tomatoes and the sizzling plates are obviously done with care.

Great.. The service creates an optimistic atmosphere. The food is great, resteraunt decoration and cleanliness is top notch. The only dislike I have in regards to this establishment, is that occasionally then do not have enough on the buffet table. 5/5

If you want a la carte, don't go during Buffet hours.. They have a fairly extensive buffet, but for those of us who prefer other items, you cannot order a la carte when the buffet is on.<br/ Some of their dishes are really good, such as the Special Fried Rice Vietnamese style, and the spicy Orange Chicken.<br/ Friendly folks with real Chinese tea cups and chopsticks available.<br/ (4/5)

Sweet and Sour Pork: Exceptional flavors and texture! To fully enjoy it, be sure to order it à la carte.

I absolutely loved it! The food was amazing, and I've never experienced such excellent service from a waiter before.
