Any body see any dim sum there? Mussels? Sushi? We loved going to Ye's for the wide variety aside from the usual Chinese food.

Tasted great to me... I definitely didn't leave hungry!!!!!

I was not happy with the changes to the menu

Can somebody please post a menu?

Their changes, their menu. If you're not happy lovemygirl, it is what it is.  
 
This is their restaurant.

Gotta keep the customers happy. Just like any other business.. customers are the most important thing, without them there will be no business..

You do have to keep the customer happy, but as the operator of a restaurant how do you tell the difference between when it is and isn't a vocal minority. Have read many comments from folks that enjoyed themselves as well. When I've driven by the last two days the parking lot has been jam packed. If it does just turn out to be a lot of passion from a vocal minority, when is it at a point of being unreasonable to demand that a business run on their terms rather than simply check out a place that's consistent with their own interests and likes?

They will soon find out. Every new store or restaurant will always be busy as soon as they open and the hype dies down. But if the restaurant is similar to other asian buffets in town. Why would a person pay $20 dollars for a buffet when they can go to another establishment with similar food and pay a lot less.  
 
They need to be unique. As everyone knows they have owned other buffet restaurants in town. Kam Lung being one of them. Hopefully their food doesn't run in that direction.  
 
AS loeog said that when Ye's opened up i said it has dried chicken products. Thats correct I did. I voiced my opinion here and I even voiced my opinion at the restaurant. From what Ye's was and to what it had become with chicken products, they made a lot of good changes.

It is the change to certain items that I did not like. I have heard others say the same as well. Each to their own. For some reason my detailed comments on this post were deleted so I wont get into what I don't like. I don't eat sushi so that is not a draw for me. They also now charge double for my daughter and with the menu change she ate a slice of pizza, garlic bread, a couple cubes of jello and ice cream. Not enough to justify paying $10 for her. The main items we went there to eat are now different. Not for us, but I am sure some will like it.

I also won't go into details as that's usually not allowed on this site but for us, it was just ok. Others may love it and that's fine. For us, we went and tried it and we prefer the buffet elsewhere.

I went to Ye's a couple of times and, although I can't point to anything overly negative, the food was just average in my books. Hearing that the changes are definitely noticeable makes me think I shall give Lee's a shot in the near future.

i agree that a new place might be busy as everyone trys the place out, if its good the people will go back, as far as weather the feedback is from a vocal minority or a real issue that would play a factor in their business i would think a good owner would also consider other factors, one is how many come back, another is if the menu items eaten increase or decrease, not only on their own but when paired with other items. if a menu item is decreasing then the owner would put more weight in the feedback and start watching peoples reaction to that item as well as what they say to each other as not everyone will say, same thing applies if the item is starting to increase in sales, is it because the other items are sitting and thats all that is edible, or is the faces on the customers enjoying that item, anyway you get the drift, deciding what is right for the customers is more then just listening to vocal feedback but feedback is an important part of the equation

Have you eaten there, Traveller?

I am curious to know what types of items are at the dinner buffet??  
 
Did they get rid of the crab legs? Anyone that have ate there for dinner please share which items were available

no i havent since the change in owners, i have eaten at the two other restaurants that the owners have owned tho and thats why i said im not a fan of the team, not necessarily the restaurant, the rest of what i said applies to any restaurant

I too have eaten food with the previous owners establishments, but will reserve judgement until a first hand experience of my own.  
 
I've never run a restaurant before. I've no idea what it entails.  
 
I look forward to experiencing Lee's.

i will try lees and see, while i have not been a fan of their previous tastes they may have kept enough items the same, not that i loved ye's but it was ok, or brought in new items i do like  
 
years and years ago i was involved in a start up restaurant and worked in many others, it can be hard work for sure and i do wish the owners luck, even if their type of food isnt for me

I might have missed it but did it say why they took over anyways? Was ye's not doing as well in Brandon as other places? I see the former manager is still part of the team so I'm just curious.  
 
I'll give it another couple weeks to allow them to make more changes before going in. If it's still so many pork dishes, it likely won't be a place we frequent as much as I don't like pork dishes usually.  
 
I know what it's like to run a restaurant, it's hard work!! I wish them all the best regardless if I like it or not. I never want to see business fail!  
 
Lol traveller we posted similar thoughts at similar times....odd!!

curious, I heard the reduced pricing will continue until Sunday? Wonder what the cost is also for lunch and supper?

I phoned and asked today.  
We went today and it was $16.95 or something but there was a 20% off for today. It seemed well worth the price though.

Me & my family had supper tonight at Lee's. It was pretty pricey! There was only me, my boyfriend and our two kids (6 & 1) .. I got the bill and buffet was $22 for one adult. With the 20% off, our bill came to $60. I found the food wasn't worth the price. Sizzling wok is better Chinese food than lee's in my opinion.

To be honest, i didn't think it was all it was cracked up to be. They had a lot of the same things Ye's had, but somehow, not the flavor. It was kinda bland. Ribs were so tough, hunny couldn't eat them. I know there are plenty of people that like the shrimp with their heads on...im not one of them. Personally, i preferred Ye's. Not sure yet if we will go as often to Lee's

I really liked it before and was a regular customer. The atmosphere and workers were awesome the food choices and even taste was better. I tried this new buffet and was not impressed. I do hope they change the style, taste and choices of food back to ye"s.

We were there a few days ago. We were disappointed: even with the temporary discount, it was expensive. The food was ok, but not worth the money. However, I'm sure many people will have different perspectives.

I didn't even know there was a discount on ha. Overall it was ok, the food was good. The first time we went through the line the fried rice was empty, which is my favorite part, I understand they are busy but I think it would be good to have it ready to go all the time.. also as a vegetarian I found it hard to know what had meat and what didnt, The desserts were good! So overall not bad and I would go again now that I know what its all about.

We went there for lunch and asked for a menu... It was exactly the same as ye's. In fact it still had the name ye's written on the top of the menu haha
