Personally I liked the place, it has a variety of food to eat from chips to different kind of small pie, noodles, soups, candy, cakes, jelly and so much more. Most of them were warm and appropriate as an European food. I will suggest and go back to Mandarin Buffet. Definitely you have to book prior as it was nearly full.

Went here with some friends and was simply blown away by the food. Fresh, flavorful and just on point in terms of presentation and aroma. Highly recommended! Buffet offers a proper opportunity to spoil yourself and the kiddies have a lot of usual chicken nuggets stuff etc too.Strongly suggest booking in advance. They will take a £5 deposit for the booking which will later be adjusted in your bill.

Food as always brilliant good value for money bit of everything to satisfy/cater to people of all tastes be it plain bland and boring😴, chicken nuggets/chips, usual Chinese food or spicier dishes. The sushi is beautiful and if you get around to having a dessert then there are so many choices. The staff are friendly and always helpful.

Quality food and helpful staff made this a pleasant experience. Lost a star for the canteen feel which I felt in the spillover area. Not eaten to the left of entrance so not sure if it is more of a restaurant ambience. Would return again as the food was exceptional.

Food was lovely, good choice of main dishes. Sushi choices could be much better, there was only couple choices. I really like sushi and would come here only for sushi if they would have a good choice. Dessert choices are very poor - no chocolate fountain, no crepes, no fresher made desserts. Everything from frozen or shop bought. I remember good old times and choices we had back then.Service overall was good, but obviously there is not much service with buffet.I really liked their "free" self service system, and main food quality, freshness was good.Overall I would recommend to try it at least once in your life, if you love food ! Makes you feel like a child in a sweets shop !

Absolutely fantastic night with family.From the very polite doorman, to the lovely waitress that served us there is NOTHING to complain about.A good assortment of well cooked hot food, sushi bar and desserts….. all well presented and hot.And great cocktails 🤟A lovely place for a good quality value meal.

Typical all you can eat. Chinese version of a Spanish holiday. I found the food very tasty. I would say the staff were very friendly and helpful, especially the manager who helped us split a bill. Have been a number of times and will go again.

No appointment- stay outside the doors in the 4' cold...However, the website is not up to date and at the provided phone number no one answers for hours.The 2 years old pays £4 for the entry and a 10 years old (only for chips with ketchup 🎃!!) pays FULL PRICE!! which is £15.99 weekly or £17.99 during weekends (Friday-Sunday).Been here in several times and always disappointed by the service (However, the lady who took our drink order last night was really sweet). The guy at the door and managers (or whoever those guys walking around with their earphones on are) are really cold and unwelcoming!!Same as the room (no pictures on the walls to make it more cosy and the temperature inside I think was below 20 degrees as most of the guests would wear jackets on).Plenty of tasty food to choose from (not all Chinese related food- as they do British sausages/hash browns etc) and lots of cakes, sweets, gummy bears, jelly's, fruits (not all fresh cut, but from cans/syrop).NO chocolate fountain anymoreNO fresh made pancake provider anymoreNew staff at the seafood bar (prepare to show/explain how the food should be cooked ☺️).In conclusion, if you are willing to pay (as a mum with a 2y and a 10y old daughters) a £48 bill for only 2 non-alcoholic drinks🍹🍹 and some sweet&sour chicken/vegetable samosa (those were the only ones I could choose from all the "Chinese" food)/ the kids fries 🍟 (with ketchup), gummy bears…. then, feel free to visit.Definitely recommend for the hungry persons, couples or families with no children.NO recommended for families with children! as there's nothing for them to choose from (besides the sweets - obviously!, which they will try to replace with the supposed launch/dinner) and then they will just spend their time embarrassing you by playing around (when other people are running around trying to fill their plateswith cheap food ☺️🤣)

Amazing meal for my son's 16th birthday party. Our table server was chatty and friendly. Really made us comfortable and laugh. All the food we had was fresh and hot.. The venue was busy but not crowded. There was a very long queue outside that had not booked. I booked 5wks before son's birthday via email that was in their FB site. We got a lovely reply a few days later.Thank you for a memorable day.
