East Orient in St. Helens

Not the most expensive, not most prestigious.. But good old fashioned buffet with out ordering on app. Does get very busy as you can notice from dessert area..

Nice fresh food alot of things to choose from. Not expensive at all.. desserts were a bit disappointing. Clean . Friendly staff. Parking over the road. Many tables an space

It's a pleasant place. Clean all you can eat restaurant, decorated with a Eastern Chinese theme. Plenty of dishes available, with western food available too so even if someone in the group isn't into Chinese they can still find something. Plenty of starters, mains and desserts including ice cream, cake and fruit.The issue though is freshness. Its really questionable with some dishes. I tried a good selection from every area (start, main, pud). All of it tasted fine. Unfortunately, I was sick later on at home. Surprised my partner, as my stomach is usually sound. I'd probably go back for a party or something but otherwise I'll stick to a pub meal. If I go again I'll be weary.I will say drink prices are a complete rip off (three thirty for a diet pepsi). Also, Saturday evening prices are steep. Mon-Thurs are a little better but if you want good value go for the lunch buffet, served from noon till 3pm

Absolutely amazing! Beautiful place, great atmosphere, delicious food! I Definitely will be returning. Even my One year old enjoyed. Thank you very much, East Orient! It was a Pleasure! Very happy, indeed.

Went here today for a tea time treat with the family party of 8.The food was spot on plenty to choose from nice and hot and flavour some.Staff were very friendly will be returning again soon loved it keep up the good work everyone.The Graham's 👌👌👌

Finally got round to trying this place and it was decent. The food is lovely and the staff were really accomodating in finding us a table with space for our 5 month old in her pram on a busy Saturday afternoon. Will definitely be our go to Chinese buffet now

Food was delicious and the staff were very friendly and chatty. Whenever I think of buffets I immediately think of "bad food but I can stuff my face." You don't think that here because the food is very nice, very good quality. I thoroughly enjoyed it and highly recommend it

I am always a touch sceptical about all you can eat buffets however on this occasion I was proven wrong.The food was good quality, fresh and had a variety of choices. All in all I will be going back.The most positive point for myself personally was that the food wasn't drenched in salt. I have paid more for worse in Manchester restaurants (China Town)

Best all you can eat I've ever had,place was quality,with great staff great food,free parking literally 20 yards across the road,and just walk in no need to book,we went at 12.30 on a Sunday afternoon ,perfect in every way,can't wait to go back,even have Plain chicken nuggets etc in case your kids don't like Chinese,5 stars and more.£50 for 3 of us,simply lovely.

Went here for a lunch withy the family, we were very disappointed. Most reviews rave about the selection and quality, we are the opposite.Having been to many buffets we found this one to have bland taste on all dishes, selection was actually limited, no grilled foods and half of the food tubs turned off.Desserts were limited to solid banana fritter, ice cream and plastic jelly.Staff were nice but would not return.
