"AVOID THIS PLACE UNLESS YOU WANT FOOD POSIONING !!! Xen Noodle Bar Used to be the place to go what has happened ! Terrible experience ! Where to start When got seated we noticed the tables were filthy the floors were matching to, bits of food everywhere dead flys on the lighting the seats were all cracked and fabric missing, at this point we should of just left ! But we didn’t we placed our order and then the girl who was working told us the card machine was playing up and could we pay by bank transfer what at this point I didn’t mind, it was only when another couple walked in ordered they didn’t mention anything about there card machine not working to them so they must of thought we looked like we came from a certain community ! Then the food comes honestly this was terrible the plates were cold dirty underneath ! The food looked like it had been just sat there and dumped on the plate. We had to complain as it was luke warm and really just awful, the girl who told us the card machine was broke had left at this point and we spoke to another member of staff who tried to charge us for the meal again and we told her no we have already paid as the other member of staff told us the card machine was playing up and she said that nothing was wrong with the machine ! We did get refunded for one of the meals starters but I think the only reason they did this with ease was due to the local council food hygiene officer was doing a inspection at that moment in time."

"I will preface this review by saying this was my first trip to an all-you-can-eat Chinese buffet for about five years and so I might be a bit enthusiastic because of that but I really think this place is fantastic. First of all I was surprised by the entrance. A nice spacious car park that surrounds the really impressive architecture. I really wasn't expecting anything like that is terms of external décor but was really impressed. Walking in, the building was spacious and we were seated for lunch straightaway. We did come on a Wednesday at about one o'clock so it wasn't as busy as it might be on weekends and in the evenings and that suited us just fine. The drinks service was quick and both a pint of Budweiser and glass of Sauvignon Blanc were under £4 each which you don't see in many places these days. In fact the value of the place being £12.50 each for a lunch buffet is such good value for money. If you were spending the equivalent on a takeaway you wouldn't be getting much food. The range of food was good, not as much as I have seen in Chinese restaurants in the past, but it's a good range for a lunchtime and there was plenty of the favourites. Really tasty food, both had a plate of starters and then some mains and it was all really delicious. Ribs, chicken satay, prawn toast, lemon chicken, noodles, egg fried rice, all great. A few random dishes such as little sausages and hash brown balls that I can only put down to food for the kids. The atmosphere was good, seats comfortable, and dining experience very pleasant. Will be going again soon."
