What User likes about Lailing Cantonese:
very lively place, to happiness was our table booked. I'm looking for a lot of time for others, all waiting happy. service was excellent as the choices on menus. make them as many decisions as they want, all they ask is that they do not contaminate food. have to say that we didn't. eating was all served cake hot, good portions. will be visited again. View all feedback. What giggsAlvechurch doesn't like about Lailing Cantonese:

Nestled near the picturesque Lickey Hills, LaiLing boasts an "eat as much as you want" dining experience where guests order from a diverse menu. While some reviews highlight the friendly staff and the quality of food served piping hot, others critique the rushed service and inconsistent portion sizes, with some dishes falling short on flavor. The decor hints at its history, reminiscent of its past as a public toilet. Overall, this lively spot has potential, but mixed experiences may prompt diners to temper their expectations and visit with an open mind.

Nothing to praise, could probably cook the same standard of food at home if I'd have followed a YouTube video. Sold as a buffet but food is cooked to order via...
