Very disappointed with one of my long time favorites! Food in the buffet was mostly cold. The donuts were cold and hard. Prawns were not the usual quality. We won't be be back!

One of the last great buffets, its got all the good stuff like chicken balls, deep fried prawns, sweet and sour pork and orange chicken. I've been going for over a year and I can't recommend this place more if you like buffets. Great staff and fresh food, the price is very reasonable and it's more than a step up from the other buffets I've been to on the island.
Greeted at the door by a friendly woman who seated & looked after us. Decor was dated, but clean and serviceable. (We came on the recommendation for the food)
The buffet area was well laid out, spacious and very clean. The lunch buffet had all our favourites and more. Everything was fresh and plentiful, with much more variety than we expected, and even dessert of fruits, ice-cream, Bars and cake.
We all had a great meal and will go back.

Wonderful service. Our waiter was very nice and lovely. The food on the other hand was not good at all. Maybe the worst I've ever had. We were told to tell them if we wanted anything in the buffet replenished and it was just mixed in with the old food in the same tray. Also we didn't know how to say everything needed to be replenished. They said it was because it wasn't peak hours and I understand when there isn't a lot of people in the restaurant it could be wasteful. But it was sitting out for a while. I couldn't even scoop the rice it was stuck to the dish. Very disappointing. We even told them how disappointed we were and there wasn't much of a resolution. I will never go there again.

I usually avoid Chines food buffets as I’ve been to some really bad ones. I was very impressed though with this place. Really good fresh Chinese food and excellent service. Really nice friendly staff. The buffet had deep fried prawns and some items many buffets don’t have. Everyone in our group of 5 people enjoyed eating here.
