What Daniel L doesn't like about The Old Cathay:
We ordered takeout from here, and it did not meet our expectations. The rice tasted like it came from a boil-in-the-bag packet, the mushrooms were tough, the chicken had a rubbery texture, and the prawn balls were unpleasant. Overall, the Long family will definitely be passing on this place in the future. It’s far from being as good as Golden Dragon. View all feedback. What chris438208 likes about The Old Cathay:
This was a great buffet for 12 people on a sunday afternoon. The food was outstanding buffet topped up regularly and the staff were great. Thanks for a brilliant afternoon. Even dropped balloons and a cake of for my sons 16th birthday that they were happy to put out for us. View all feedback.
