Went here for a lunch date with my husband tne food was cooked fresh. It came out hot and tasted delicious. Will definitely be going again.

·

Have been waiting for the food to arrive for over 90 minutes. Just got told they 'just need to cook it now'. The family are run off their feet, still letting new customers sit knowing full well the dalays. Other customers waiting in a line to collect food. Great way to spend a Saturday night! At this rate, it doesn't really matter if the food is any good!

We absolutely love this place, we go for the all you can eat buffet and the food is always good. Add that to the lovely family who own it and it is a winner. 100% recommend

This was probably the best Chinese meal I have ever had. We opted for the all you can eat menu and it did not disappoint. The food came out piping hot and freshly cooked. The batter on the chicken and beef satay sticks, lemon chicken, and sweet and sour chicken balls was perfect. It was light, crispy and not at all greasy. Every dish was simply divine. The service was also excellent and the staff were very attentive without being overbearing.This is my new favourite place.

We visited the East Garden 4 weeks ago on a Saturday evening . It was a special experience. Ordered the buffet eat what you like menu . We were given plenty of time to talk and soak up the atmosphere whilst waiting for the starters . Very tasty delicate portions so we ordered again . The chef " staff gave us time to chat whilst waiting for another portion of starters. . Next up . We took up the offer and paid the extra £3.00 for the duck . Wonderful duck . Served with a special sauce and pancakes cucumber and spring onions . By now we were ready for the main and couldn't wait . Our taste buds and tummies were rumbling . We ordered and ate our dishes . The unique lady who was running the resturant made our evening when she came and proudly announced how well we had done eating the portioned controlled food . I'm sure the rest of the diners were as thrilled with this announcement as we were with her sincere smile and volume . A special experience. Thank you .

I do not give 1 star reviews lightly! With that said if I was able to give 0 stars then I would not hesitate, this restruant is horrendous. It took 1 hour 15 mins to get our starters, which were sent back as they were terrible, pink chicken, frozen centres on the spring rolls, spare ribs were dry and 2 ribs were just bone and no meat. Our main order was taken after 1 hour 50 mins of being there, only to then be told there would be a delay. It was clear they were prioritising takeaway orders as they were flying out the door. The waitresses were all very young and had no idea at all, they were useless at best. One of them threw 2 bowls on our table and didn't say a word before she walked off. After all this we decided after 2 hours and only 1 edible starter, that this place is not for us! We approached the owner to complain about our experience, she was not interested and all she wanted us to do was pay! She tried to charge us for a full buffet menu when all we had was one edible starter, she argued and argued with us stating that 'we don't understand because of covid' she was implying that we should expect long wait times because of Covid! What a joke. We were not the only people complaining that night, the whole atmosphere was tense and uncomfortable. In a nut shell, do not eat here, there are plenty on Chinese restruants around which are leaps and bounds better, we thought we'd give this place a go despite reading some of the prior negative reviews, as not all negative reviews are fair, mine however is more than fair! I look forward to the owners reply...

I’ve been visiting this family run restaurant for at least 10 years and have always had great food and a great experience. Go for the food, the service and the relaxing atmosphere. The “All you can eat” menu is excellent value with a wide selection of dishes to choose from. You won’t be disappointed; highly recommended.

After living in Swaffham for a couple of years now, my fiance and I decided to try some place new for an evening meal. As soon as we got to the restaurant, we were greeted and seated by a very enthusiastic young lady. She took our orders and when I asked about a few things on the menu, she was very quick to answer and, when she didn't know she asked someone that did. My fiance and I were very impressed with the cleanliness of the place as well as how inviting it was. We were served by another lady who went above and beyond both our expectation and even allowed us to have a "breather"out the back and told us that when the rest of the food was ready, she would come grab us. The food was bang on with no complaints. All in all, we had a fantastic experience. I can't emphasize enough the level of service we experienced during our visit. Looking forward to bringing the whole family soon.
