Absolutely amazing could not fault the service, food and overall atmosphere went with my wife, children and her family and they could not be more accommodating especially to my two children. They made the visit by bringing them both our a strawberry ice-cream with all the trimmings without us ordering it. All you can eat menu was fantastic.Kid-friendliness: they don't have high chairs but they make sure they are not left out

We booked a table for 4 on new year's eve, it was very busy but we couldn't have asked for more.The atmosphere was spot on and the staff were great, prompt, polite and very good at explaining the menu.We all had the all you can eat buffet washed down with some very nice wine. After the fourth plate of starters we moved to the main course. Amazing food I have to recommend the aromatic duck and the Thai red curry, also so much else I just can't remember the names.If you are looking for a good Chinese/Thai dinning experience then I can highly recommend you book a table.

Great food, helpful friendly staff.Best to book ahead as can be very busy and it's quite a small restaurant.

Sticky ribs good, mustard chicken good, prawn toast OK. Pekingese duck - good, and were happy to bring more sauce. Wine well-priced, so don't go for the house wine. Too quick to try and clear your plate from in front of you as soon as you stop eating even when you may only have a little left but want to enjoy it after a chat.

Food was lovely, although it was only the set buffet menu served on a Sunday. We were a family of 2 adults, 4 children (2x14, 1x 10 and 1 x 7) and only the 7 year old was charged at a child’s price. I don’t believe at 10 years old, you should be charged an adults price. Understandably for the 14 YO (at a push). As tasty as the food was, we sadly won’t return. (We were the only people in there).

Tried to book a table for 9pm and the person on the phone kept saying it can't be done because they close at 10:30...makes no sense and they wouldn't explain
Lesley Holliday
Went for the lunchtime deal, well worth it, had 3 courses soups good and hot, nice mains and had the pineapple fritters to end the meal, at 1.55pm told they close at 2pm so felt a bit rushed at the end!
Great tasty food . We had the eat as much as you like menu. Loads of choice all lovely. Price has gone up post COVID but completely understand this. We need to support these small establishments.

We were on a river cruise holiday and went on Saturday evening, not for the first time and throughly enjoyed it again. We had set menu A and it was good, the only thing we not sure about was the dry ribs on the mixed starter, we prefer the sticky ones. Service was great and we had a lovely time and we will be back next time when we are in Abingdon. Don’t understand some of the poor reviews as the restaurant is good.

Good food as ever, reasonably priced (main courses and drinks for 3, £50).

This place is great for a buffet and the food is amazing (do go with a group of people to get the best out of it). We had two platters of starters, duck and pancakes, and then the mains. Only advice is go easy on the starters or you'll struggle with the mains.

We visited on a Saturday evening and were glad we'd booked in advance, as they had around 70%-80% of their tables in use. Even so, service was prompt without being rushed; we asked for a break between starter and main courses and they were happy to oblige. Food was piping hot and tasted good, especially the spicy mustard chicken, which didn't taste particularly mustardy but was very nice.
