Very nice all you can eat buffet. Fresh, hot, and good service. Pay before you eat so don't be surprised when the bill arrives before the food.

Well completely different from previous visits no tablecloths on table looks like tables from garden fate, staff miserable the lady who took orders rushed said was enough for a patty of 5 didn’t need to order 2 off anything.Have to pay for your food before having it I understand why because I wouldn’t pay for most of it sorry to say very disappointed in the whole experience won’t be going again, for the price could of got better from a takeaway chicken slimes

AT time of writing the 3.8 rating seems unfair. We were immediately warned to enter car reg on arrival, the place was warm and the main lady serving very pleasant. Most importantly the starters were generous and very good, the mains also quite happy with. Main concerns with chinese these days is the sauces were largely a bit more unique, they were not overly sugary/gloopy and more effort had gone in to some unique /distinct flavour. Noticed the hygiene rating is now up to 5 which it wasn't previously. I'm not saying all was perfect, some dishes (e.g. veg) were far to too salty, yes some of the sauces I suspect were bottle/ shortcut sauces but as I say 3.8 rating not fair it's more 4.3-4.5 based on this visit... so have given 5 stars to offset that a little... I appreciate the improvements since I last visited some time back.

Honestly, came here with my sister under the pretence that this place was ‘amazing’- upon arriving, we were the only two there and customer service was okay-when we come to a buffet we come to eat!! Trust me, to be told we were limited to a certain number of dishes per round was quite displeasing but oh well it didn’t get busy so I was understanding.I admire the concept of sharing plates with one another I think it creates a stronger atmosphere with whoever you bring and the authenticity of the decor was also quite admirable.The food itself was delicious (in my opinion) I thought the food was very tasty and came out hot and fresh each time. Although some dishes had a questionable aspect to them-they were none the less delicious, I just wish we could’ve ordered more in one go.I will certainly be returning and I hope I am not let down in my second visit as other people have been.Regardless of whether you are a buffet person or not-try this restaurant!!- the concept makes you feel like you’re in a Chinese sitcom enjoying authentic foods. I recommend people go here for the sole purpose of experience.Again ! There should be a more clear sign stating the number of dishes you can order each ‘round’.

Rude owner , you have to pay before you order. Over the telephone they say they don’t have space; if you go up there they can accommodate you.

Called to order a takeaway and the woman on the phone was absolutely obnoxious, shouting at me because I was ordering from an old menu ( online) !!This attitude is hardly going to be good for business, and after reading some of the other reviews I'm very glad that I cancelled the meal, definitely wont be using them again and would recommend that you steer well clear??

An unusual buffet set-up but it worked well and the food was excellent! Probably the first all you can eat place where the flavours in my mouth were more important than filling my belly!!! Worth every penny and I'll be going

I forgot why I didn't like this restaurant until I returned for my second visit!! No atmosphere! Keep your coat on as it's so cold in there! Although it's a buffet style restaurant, and you are told to order as much as you want, which is then brought to your own individual table, the staff don't really appreciate you ordering more! They bring out small plates to share which are barely enough for one person so you need to repeat order. At this point the small plates have less food on, and as you order more the quantity and quality of food gets worse! The staff, especially the proprietor make it clear that they don't really want you ordering more! And God forbid you ask for a clean plate!!! They were horrified, but they didn't explain that at the start. You also have to pay up front. The food itself is tasteless and it feels like it's all precooked - the chicken tastes the same in all the dishes- they just add whatever different sauce!
Love this place and would highly recommend to anyone!! Will be going back for my birthday soon and can't wait. This place puts other buffets (that I've been to) to shame ?

Xmas eve dinner with friends. Requested full payment up front. Refused to separate food and drink tabs. Only allowed 2 hrs at table. Starters arrived at the table 35 minutes into 2 hours. Starters were freshly cooked and pretty decent. Yuk Sunk salad leaves were brought to the table 15 minutes before meat. Main dishes arrived 1.5 hours into 2 hours and were the worst I have ever seen and tasted awful. Really salty and bland. We all left the mains and decided to go home. 4 of the 6 in group were ill for several days with sickness and diarrhoea, missing Xmas day altogether. Never again will we go to this dump.Parking: The parking is not properly marked when you drive onto the parking area. An ANPR camera automatically registers your number late. Make sure you register your car in the restaurant for free parking.Kid-friendliness: Yes take the bratsWheelchair accessibility: Yes, there is a ramp and wide door

Food was lovely as always.. However some dishes were forgotten and service was slow. One member of staff seemed stressed and erratic, rushing around trying to take orders and serving. Other staff looked uninterested and unfriendly, however it was Xmas so obviously didn't want to be working. Atmosphere wasn't anything special and inside could do with a bit if decorating.

Myself and my friend came to those restaurant as we wanted a Chinese buffet over a nice meet up.When we arrived, we were led to our table (2 person table), which was fine. However, when a family of 4 were seated next to us about 10 minutes after we got there- then it felt like I was shoved into a corner and the lady next to us was that close, when she flicked her hair back, it hit my table and nearly my food (not her fault of course, but it was not good enough as there were plenty of other tables they could have been sat at).In terms of food, myself and my friend ordered our starters separately & when it arrived, everything was on 1 big plate, meaning when I tried to separate my food from hers, half of mine went on the table as I wasn’t given a big enough plate to accommodate my yuk sung- this might sound picky, but if I’m paying for my food, I want to eat it :(Next of all, we were told that with our main dishes, they will be on separate dishes (yay!). However, because the plates are small, we ate them quick as we only chose 2 each & we’re ready to order our next ones- it took a while for these to be ordered but that’s okay as we understand there were other people too. By the time out dishes came, they were really small for mains so I had lots of rice left over from the one dish & I couldn’t eat the other as it not only looked inedible (see picture) but the texture was like raw chicken! I really politely apologised that I couldn’t eat the food as i physically couldn’t swallow it. I was told that I’d get charged an extra £5 because “it’s a waste” even though id already paid for my buffet meal. As well as this, my friend’s other dish didn’t arrive. We waited ages for it & when we asked the manager where it was, she said we had to eat the dishes we had on our table before the next could come out. This was a bowl of rice and cold curry (cold from waiting for her chips to come out). All of our food was vile it was frozen food that had been cooked there and then gone stale from waiting to come out. When we asked the waitress to help us understand why we wasn’t aloud to get any other food or else we’d be charged (we were really polite about this), the manager came over & pretty much butted in & said that “if we have any complaints don’t gossip and talk to her”. At this point, we were hungry & frustrated because we were being treated like idiots (not by the waitresses but the manager). Even though she was saying this in a polite manner, it was very passive aggressive and confusing because we hadn’t done anything wrong.This might sound silly, but we felt uncomfortable with how their sea life was kept. There were multiple large fish (about 15 fish) in the tiny A3 sized fish tanks; call me picky but there were too many in the tanks compared to the regulations of how should be kept.
