"This place changed to worsen, I'm surprised it still standing. Upon arrival at the door, a4 paper tape it to the door saying Pay before you eat . with is fair enough, as you approach the staff they take you straight away to the bar so you pay for your meal, they take out the unlimited pop drinks with you need to spend more money. £2.80 for a pint of coca cola that didn't even taste like the genuine one, more like water down and the cheap ones you get from supermarkets for less than 50p, ridiculous. So the table for 2, they took us to the busiest and loudest corner, even when we politely ask if we can be seated in a quieter table. Staff looked at us funny and said no. With we founded very rude. As soon you sit down at the table you've been observed like crazy! whenever you go the staffs and manager has eyes on you. On the walls, there is a notice poorly made written by hand and once again a4 paper saying you can eat from 12 noon till 5.30 pm if you stay longer you be charged! very passive writing. This place has zero maintenances, you can see dust everywhere especially of the curtains I don't think they ever been washed. Mould at the ceiling and the walls you can spot from miles, not to mention poor chairs and tables. Cutlery is not presentable I had to wipe in the napkin before using it. Food buffet variety is nothing special and the desserts are horrible, cheap icecreams, most of the desserts are from supermarkets, they left in the trays for god knows how long. (You never know you might eat out of date food). Plates are chipped, some of them wet. Bowls bearly any. I and my partner agreed that the food was over salted and had too much pepper inside. It's a cheap Chinese if you can call that, use to be alright but now it's just a no, we won't be back here again. Prices for the buffet are somehow ok for lunch but then you need to spend more on drinks with the bill could be expensive. Lunch Monday Thursday £7.5 Adult £4.5 Child, Buffet at the evenings seems overpriced: Monday Thursday Dinner (5:30pm 10pm) £8.5 Adult £5 Child Friday Saturday: Lunch (12noon 5:30pm) £8 Adult £5 Child Dinner (5:30pm 10pm) £9.5 Adult £5 Child Sunday All Day and Bank Holidays (except good Friday): 12noon 10pm, £8.5 Adult, £5 Child What we noticed many people left leftovers, including myself as I had undercooked potatoes. The way this business is going soon or later they will charge you for leaving leftovers! As we were leaving the restaurant all staffs including manger had eyes on us, felt like they not trusting us. It's terrible to feel unwelcome and uncomfortable. After the food, we both had stomach pains and my partner felt sick, we unsure what could have been caused by it but we know for sure we go elsewhere and pay a little bit extra to have a proper Chinese rather than this that makes you sick."

"book here for a party of 6 for the Chinese silvesternacht after they do not make the booking for another restaurant due to this busy night. we ordered the peking duck and all the dishes for a happy and wealthy years like fish, noodles and dumplings. the dimming cum dishes came first char sui bungalow and xiao long bao were standard and tasted quite well. there were no spoons tho for the xiao long bao that made it a little harder less traditional. our dishes came next to the damped sea bass was delicious, the bones were taken out (except the side fins that made it easy to eat (but less fun, as I like to flipping the fish when a side is done) the Ho fun (rice nudel with rührei had a bit of everything in it huh, pork, garnel, tinted fish. we also have the plate of chinese broccoli (gai lan with garlic) (they must order a vege in a Chinese restaurant and this has proven to be one of my favorite food of the night. very fragrant and crisp. we also ordered Mongolian king prawn, that was a little disappointing, and actually felt like the sweet sour king prawn court (or perhaps the order mixed. . I also felt really like peking disappointing for old, so was happy to finally get some. I was a bit confused about the difference between peking duck and crispy aromatic duck both on their menu when I checked it at picking up the restaurant. it has been shown that it is a British ding (the population in Britain and the last escape is finished with a deep step, that is the cripple, and apparently it is a bit dry. we have two steam basket of pancakes for our peking duck not sure whether it is because we have asked enough pancake haha. I'm more used to having 2 courses when I pee, but they're not doing this here. we ordered a whole and we also got the usual plum sauce and gurken garlic shoot to go with it. Although we were given only 2 hours of eating time, we were eating pretty fast and finished after only 1.5 hours. they do not desserts, but gave us a lazy lucky cookie that was entertaining as we were in bed after reading each of our gap out loud! everything in all was a pretty good meal and service good (for a Chinese restaurant. we sat in the back room of the restaurant and the atmosphere was good, beautiful bright white walls and table clothes, and maybe not as crowded as the front. but it has a bit loud, because it is all great tables in the back room. some portions of eating felt not very, but overall we went full and happy for only £15 per person. the online booking was simple and (especially given the busy night they called me on the day to confirm our booking."
