Description

Lamoon Restaurant offers a cozy, family-run dining experience with a warm atmosphere that appeals to many. While the buffet features decent dishes, including praised beef in black bean sauce and sweet and sour chicken, some patrons express disappointment over the limited variety and occasional quality issues. Diners have noted both flavorful highlights, such as the salt and chili squid and homemade tasting food, alongside a few underwhelming items like dry chicken. Despite these inconsistencies, the restaurant's inviting ambiance and friendly service make it a popular choice for a satisfying meal at reasonable prices.

This small buffet restaurant located on Denmark Hill is charming. The staff appears friendly at first, but then becomes overly attentive, which can be annoying while trying to dine. The homemade sushi rolls are a delightful addition. However, they are not great at replenishing food - leaving untouched dishes to go cold or neglecting to refill empty plates, like cakes. The noodle and curry dishes are tasty. The bathroom is kept fairly clean. There were suspicions of staff quoting different prices to customers.

It's quite nice. Could do with a larger assortment of desserts and cheaper drinks. Quite a small intimate restaurant. Not a wide selection of drinks. Drinks also quite costly.

I visited this restaurant while staying at a nearby hospital and needed a break from the ward for a meal. The buffet was small, but we enjoyed our meal around 5pm. The food was decent, but there weren't many options to choose from. The beef in black bean sauce was particularly delicious, and the pork fried rice was good as well. However, nothing else really impressed me, and I likely wouldn't come back since there are many other dining options in the area. The buffet is priced at $6.99, and takeaway boxes are available for $3.99.

Buffets are typically not my favorite, but I have to admit that the food at this restaurant was decent. We have visited multiple times, and while the food can get a bit stale later in the day, it is delicious when fresh. The staff is very friendly, which adds to the overall positive experience. This is a good and affordable option for Chinese cuisine, and they also offer take away boxes - small for £3.99 or large for £5.99.

Visited today after appointment at Kings Hospital with my wife. We have tried a number of London oriental buffets where the price was cheap and the food bland. What a revelation Lamoon was. My wife is a wheelchair user and when the lady in charge saw us struggling to get in she went out of her way to help and get us comfortably seated. It is a small buffet and certainly not ostentatious. However the food was the best buffet we have tasted. The sweet and sour chicken was the tastiest ever and the ribs in barbeque sauce amazing with so much meat. I could not fault the food at all and will be returning on our next appointment at Kings.
