The Chinatown Buffet

Highly recommend this place,booked in advance 10% off bill,food cooked to order,great choice great value and great service,fantastic family eating,would highly recommend this restaurant

Had a meal here last night with friends, it was possibly the best Chinese buffet restaurant I have ever visited, the food was Fantastic, can’t wait for my next visit to Elgin to eat here again !!

Service was good and friendly from both members of staff that we encountered. It states that it does lunch and dinner, we visited midweek (Monday) but it didn’t open until 5pm, so unsure when you can get a lunch. Takeaway opens at 4.30pm. Inside is a bit dated, could definitely do with a bit of attention. View menu

Called buffet but you don’t have to leave your seat. Menu lots to choose from, pick what you want starters, as many as you can eat then again pick your main course, you can try as many as you like or can eat, desert the same though we couldn’t manage desert, foods piping hot, staff attentive and polite, somewhere we didn’t know was there as it’s a takeaway at the front of restaurant,a must to try.

I recently learned that there has been a change in ownership at this restaurant. I had hoped that the new owner would maintain the same standard of food quality, but I was disappointed to discover that the kitchen was in a very unsanitary state. I witnessed staff mistakenly disposing of some food ingredients, only to later realize their error and attempt to salvage them by putting them back into a customer's meal.

My partner and I ordered a takeout meal for two. As always, the portions were generous and the overall quality was good. However, we were disappointed to find that the duck with orange sauce was lacking in flavor and overly sweetened. It's a pity, as the rest of the dishes were up to their usual standard. I hope they don't compromise on quality, especially during busy times when they may be tempted to cut corners. View menu

We reserved a table with only 30 minutes notice in early evening. We were seated, welcomed and served with our drinks very efficiently. The table served buffet was explained and we selected several starters. Every item was delicious and well presented. We decided against extra starters, moving on the crispy aromatic duck course. This too was beautifully prepared and served. Main courses we selected and served, everyone shared and tasted and all were found to be delicious. We even had desserts which were also freshly prepared and also very tasty.

We were in Elgin for business from Glasgow and were looking for a place to eat. Initially, we were unsure due to the appearance of the restaurant from the outside and the general decor. However, we decided to give it a try based on the good reviews. We were pleasantly surprised by the concept of the buffet, where the food was not left out exposed but instead served fresh. The food was nicely presented, plentiful, and tasted delicious. You could have as much as you wanted without any waste. The server was also very friendly and the price was reasonable. Overall, it was a fabulous experience and we were very satisfied. Thank you.

Found this restaurant by accident was actually planning to go to Indian next door, but was too early! Thought we would give this one a try instead, as it was open, and we were hungry! Very quick service . Ordered our drinks and were given the buffet menu to choose which dishes we would like. We ordered 4 different items and they were served within 5 minutes freshly cooked and presented well. Next course followed just as fast excellent dishes and very friendly waitress. Choice of ice cream, banana fritter or fruit salad for pud. Definitely be back again next time we are in Elgin. This wee place deserves it!! See u in next few weeks guys!! View menu
