I’m not really one for terrible reviews either due to the negative impact it can have to a business and it’s employees but apart the food being at best ok we had 2 baby cockroaches run over our table. To be fair they were expertly swatted by our waitress but needless to say i can’t see us going back even after a complimentary bottle of cheap wine was given to us as a sorry. Come on guys there is plenty of competition in Benimar , you can do so much better.

Lots of choice ! Small amounts out so it was replaced often and so was fresh. Staff helpful and friendly. They also offer set menus , but we thought to buffet was the best option. Beer cheaper than coke !

None of the prawns on any course were cleaned….they had huge “veins” in them and were inedible as well as being grossly over cooked. The duck was not crispy at all and had flabby skin. The dishes on view were fairly alright but could have been hotter in temperature. When I chose some meat and veg to be wok cooked, I gave it to the chef and asked for sweet and sour sauce. Well……I could not even eat it. The meat and vegetables tasted and looked as if they had been boiled in water! The sauce was very runny and tasteless……..I suspect everything had been cooked in the sauce and not cooked in the wok first. I will never go there again.

If you like lots of food then I suggest you starve yourself during the day as there is so much on offer, but like with most Chinese food places you can get full up very quickly. I would definitely recommend a visit.
