Was Anonym at May Sum a mag?
This restaurant offers a fantastic buffet of Malay, Thai, Chinese, and Japanese cuisine in the heart of the city. The restaurant has a cozy atmosphere, with a large glass window overlooking the street and young waiters in black uniforms. The flavors are delightful, with a wide variety of dishes cooked to perfection. They also have a wok station where you can customize your meal, as well as a large chocolate fountain...

What Anonym dislikes about May Sum:
Although the soft serve ice cream machine is often broken, it wouldn’t be a huge loss since there’s always cubed ice available as an alternative. During the COVID restrictions, it operated as a table service restaurant, but it has since returned to its buffet format. If you’re looking for a straightforward buffet experience with plenty of options for a reasonable price, you won’t go wrong here. View all feedback.

The staff was very friendly and helpful, and the atmosphere was welcoming. The restaurant used to be a buffet, but due to COVID-19 restrictions, they have changed their service format. I was a bit confused as to why patrons were not allowed to order food as they ate, and instead were served all dishes at once. The food was delicious, and the drinks were good. However, we had to wait for about 15-20 minutes before being seated, even though there were empty tables and people just chatting.

I was pleasantly surprised at how easy it was to make a reservation for 13 people during the COVID-19 outbreak. We were seated promptly and enjoyed a delicious meal for a birthday celebration with friends. The staff was friendly and attentive. Although they were quite busy and our food was slightly delayed, we didn't mind waiting. The prices for alcoholic beverages were also reasonable.

I decided to check out the new May Sum restaurant in Nottingham as I am a fan of their location in Derby. Upon entering, I was impressed by the stylish interior design. The...

Is "does what it says on the tin" too much of a cliché? It's an all-you-can-eat buffet, and for the lunchtime price of £6-something, you're not expecting...
