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.

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

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.

We 've tried phoning in advance but the phone never gets answered, in fact they dont appear to have a landline visible in the restaurant. We have previously found the buffet excellent value for money but to turn up and find it closed when it 's advertised as open on social media etc. and they don 't answer calls is unacceptable. Today we tried to call, no answer and when we arrived tonight 's excuse for not opening was 'closed for refurbishment '. In view of our experience we would advise no one travels here unless you know for sure it is open, to avoid disappointment. There are plenty of other good establishments in the area that treat their regular customers better than this.
