On the 5th March 2022 I went to the buffet town in exeter, after two years not there. I have seen some reviews, so not quite sure what to expect. I am happy to say that you eat is even better than last time, and as a person who worked for a chinese take away two years I know a bit about Chinese food. let me first say that the staff is very friendly and helpful. also eating was very tasty and even. better than last time. yes, the price has risen, but so everything else has increased. please try this wonderful restaurant and enjoy it.

Superb buffet for most, if not all palettes. they eat as much as they like, as often as they like. the best is to have small portions to give them the choices. excellent table service clearing used crockery and cutlery. good value for money.

I was shocked that some recent reviews were so poor and wonder if it depends what day you go we went on a Sunday lunchtime and the food couldn’t have been fresher or more tasty. The teenagers could go back to the counter as many times as they liked, the 9 year old enjoyed the freedom of choosing his own food and without being asked they took the trouble to prepare something especially for my mother who has a specific food allergy, The place was spotless and no one bothered us in 2 hours, a great experience

The staff are very rude, I felt like I was in the army eating food the way they were so corporal!! And the price £16.45 dinner time is ridiculous!!! That doesn't even include drinks. The food quality is vile for a Chinese is bad quality and the manager well she is rude and heartless!! You don't mind taking our money but at least have a better attitude! Vile and rude. End of.

After enjoying a nice meal during a prior visit, we decided to plan another visit to the restaurant. However, our experience this time around was disappointing. The restaurant's opening hours are inconsistent across different websites, making it difficult to determine if they will be open or closed. Unfortunately, our attempts to contact the restaurant by phone were unsuccessful, as we were met with continuous ringing, an unavailable signal, or being promptly disconnected after the phone was answered. This lack of communication is frustrating, especially when one is willing to travel to dine at the establishment. It seems that the restaurant may not value its customers, which is disheartening. Overall, we were left feeling disappointed and let down by this experience.
