Tier Achieved:
Clean. Reliable. Does the job.
The "lights out missionary" of food. Spotless kitchen, decent grub. Won't blow your mind, won't disappoint.
China Buffet is like that reliable friend who serves decent food but never quite impresses you. Michael Collins loves it and thinks of it as a homecoming, with a friendly owner who remembers his name. For about £12.95, you can stuff your face with classics like salt and pepper prawns and duck pancakes. Sounds good, right? But Anna Maria and Richard Forza Roma might be overselling it—sure, there’s variety, but if you’re looking for culinary fireworks, you’ll be left wanting.
The place is a bit cramped, and if you hit it during peak hours, you might feel like sardines in a tin. Just be prepared to battle for space among the buffet lovers. With some friendly service to boot, it’s a decent option, but don’t expect to be raving about it for days.
"The owner is always welcoming and has never forgotten us it's just like coming home."
"There’s a great variety to choose from, including classics."
"I had the Chow Mein Noodles with Rice and Honey Glazed Pork. There Was Plenty Of Desert Options."
