My family and myself visited Banquet for the first time in a while. I’m pleased to say that we weren’t disappointed, the atmosphere, staff and food remain as good as they always have been. We had a really lovely evening and thank-you for taking care of us.

Appalling Experience at Banquet Chinese – A Call for Action We recently visited Banquet Chinese, 342 London Rd, Stanway, Colchester CO3 8LT, for a celebratory meal. As a group of middle aged NHS consultants we were expecting a pleasant dining experience. Instead, we were met with rudeness, unresponsiveness, and outright disrespect from the staff. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with disdain, our requests for service were met with sniggering and dismissive behaviour when asked them to clear the used cutlery for our Auntray. Despite our patience, it became clear that the staff had no interest in treating customers with basic courtesy. Frustrated, we decided to leave after the starters, as it was impossible to get any reasonable attention. To add insult to injury: • They presented us with a bill that included a £20 service charge, despite the appalling service. • When we challenged the unfair charge, the situation escalated, creating a hostile atmosphere. • Rather than addressing our concerns or acknowledging the staff behaviour, the owner joined in and asked us to leave, which we were already doing. We felt humiliated and unwelcome—a shocking experience that no paying customer should have to endure. As professionals who value respect and good service, we have resolved never to visit this establishment again. Furthermore, we will be sharing our experience widely, leaving detailed reviews, and encouraging others to boycott Banquet Chinese to stand against such blatant mistreatment. If you believe that restaurants should treat customers with basic dignity and professionalism, we urge you to avoid Banquet Chinese and warn others. Poor service should never be rewarded, and we must hold businesses accountable for how they treat their patrons. Have you had a similar experience? Let’s stand together against disrespectful and unprofessional service.

If you are looking for a Chinese restaurant that does Cantonese Dim Sum outside of London in Essex, this is it! Decent sized, quality dishes at a very reasonable prices. Factor in free parking, a comfortable relaxed environment and attentive staff - Definitely recommended!

The selection of meals were fantastic - everything was so tasty but could have used some more spice. The service was also satisfactory - there were tons of people during that time, so it made sense that they were very busy. It was a lovely experience and would definitely recommend and visit again.

Have eaten here a few times before for special events or just dinner with friends and have always found the food to be delicious and flavourful. Our latest however will certainly be our last. The rice was ok, but everything else was either bland or poorly cooked. 'crispy noodles' were wet and stodgy in the middle and uncooked on the edge, topped with what seemed like bits of meat and fat and fish they couldn't use elsewhere. Prawns were clearly defrosted. Water we asked for tasted musty and had brown floating bits in the bottom of the glasses. Such a shame but for over 40 pounds a head this was just so disappointing.

I loved the vibrant atmosphere, and the presentation was impressive. The staff were friendly and attentive, adding to the welcoming environment.

The food and service was of a very high standard, however, it was pricey especially considering the portion sizes. The set menu was priced per person, although the description was for a minimum of two people. Once the beautifully presented food appeared there was not enough for one let alone two. For the quality of the food ans service, I can recommend it, but if you want to be filled.up be prepared to spend the money.

First time visit, booked table for 730pm and the place was packed with no table available meaning a 30 min wait, no complementary drink offered. Lady who overseas the seating believe owner is quite rude and abrupt. Considering our table was not required later on in the evening and no real further people arriving past 830pm the whole process felt rushed, barely sat down and within minutes we were asked were we ready to place order, seeing the banquet set meal involves eating many dishes you really need that break between dishes coming out. On a positive note, the food truly was excellent, duck was quite fatty and the amount of hoi sin sauce provided is not enough. Some areas of the restaurant incl male toilets could benefit a deep clean (Cobwebs and stains on the walls and waiting seating area little grubby and needs a good hoover around plant pots etc. Food Price reasonable Drinks are expensive £6 pint and Beefeater Gin and Tonic is £10 exact which is pretty steep and more like London prices. Some background music that you can hear would have also been nice. You defiantly will not leave this venue hungry, very noisy so would not recommend a quiet couple type evening, all tables are round and seat around 4-5 persons..meaning your not cramped next to other public eating.

The food was overly sweet and sugary. I didn't like any of the dishes for this reason. For example, I remember eating the crispy pork and it felt like I was eating sugar. I was also weirded out that it was £5.50 for a small bowl of basic boiled white rice—slightly on the expensive side for a restaurant in Colchester. A decent Chinese restaurant in Central London charges £4.80. However, the ambience was lively and pleasant, and the service was good. Overall, the atmosphere is nice, service good, pricing overcharged, but the food is below average and has way too much sugar without other flavours.

Haven't been to Banquet for a number of years but decided to go as it was my daughters birthday. I have to say it was one of the best Chinese meals we have ever had. The quality and flavour of the dishes were superb. Service and atmosphere were also top-notch. It is expensive, but as a treat, we didn't mind, especially for what we experienced. There is a reasonable size car park at the rear with 2 disabled spaces. The restaurant is all on one level but there are stairs to the toilets. They have a platform lift for wheelchairs to lower them down to a reasonably sized accessible toilet. I would highly recommend this restaurant if your budget allows.

We were disappointed on our most recent visit. The seafood tasted very off / metallic, and most dishes tasted totally bland. Our mother in law was over from the Philippines so we were excited for her to try our favourite Chinese but ended up quite embarrassed. She put it down to them 'catering for the western palet'. A real shame as we had told her how authentic it was previously. We also ordered dumplings which we thought were forgotten. They came out about 25 mins after everything else. By this time we were already quite full and didn't really have the appetite for them anymore.. Not sure what's happened here, but for such high prices I can't justify going back for the poor quality we received this time.

We had lunch at banquet today. We have been coming to the restaurant 15 years. Very disappointed today very first time. We asked they under staff as might of explaining of poor service. But they were fully staffed. We received 3 out of 4 starters we had no plate to eat off so had to ask as starter was getting cold waiting for to call waiter. Waited 40 mins for our main course. Asked about missing starter they cooked that we just had with main. Again had to ask for plate to then to start our main. The table cloth was paper and napkin. They always been cloth. We had to ask more tea as the tea pot wasn’t filled. The food wasn’t up to the standard we always had. Wondering it’s changed hands. Just very disappointed after coming here over 15 years. Won’t be returning anytime soon.

Lovely food but this time at end of lunch service the male waiter mis took a request for paper tissue as some sort of demand and clearly took us both by surprise with his outburst . My wife request was just to reaffirm our tea and napkin request was registered. We were polite and soft spoken but clearly the waiter had been upset by possibly other clients eating that lunch. We left after tea and napkin declining desert. Sad as this was my first lunch out with my wife alone for some time. I'm sure we will go back and eat here , I put it down to a bad staff day this time.

Delivery was quick, however for how expensive the restaurant is it was very disappointing. Over £40 AFTER discount is poor considering the quantity of food was not great. The appetisers for 2 (Costing £20) included 1 per person of the following - chicken skewer, small rib, small prawn toast, spring roll and some seaweed. Incredibly disappointing and expensive for such a small amount of food. Did not find the dishes particularly flavourful either. Unfortunately would not recommend.

It was New Years Eve & they had obviously packed in a lot of people. One in & one out! The staff were extremely rushed to deal with a continually full restaurant & there were no times for any pleasantries. The set menu was good(although what we got wasn't exactly as the menu stated), but waiting staff were too harassed to mention this to ,if were there long enough to!! We felt like we were on a conveyor belt to eat, finish & go. What should have been a lovely night out was spoilt by the management being rather greedy in their bookings

I booked for my husband's Birthday as he loves Dim Sum. I searched restaurants in Colchester and picked them as he wanted Dim sum. We went to order and were told Dim Sum was sold out. We were there at 1900 hours. 1st waiter needed some lessons in customer service. The food was excellent and the other servers were kind and professional. The atmosphere was not for us. A lot of very loud groups. When my husband went to pay he said it was a shame that the Dim Sum had sold out. The girl at the till rudely shouted Dim Sum means lunch only!!!! Yet it's on the menu as a Dim Sum platter???? Then she said do you want to leave a tip. We declined and gave it personally to the 2nd waiter who was friendly.Birthday experience was not as I planned for my husband. World I go back... No!! Shame as food good but for 100 pounds for 2 I would expect better service.

Been a very loyal customer since the restaurant opened with most of our family meals costing in excess of £120 and having multiple birthday celebrations etc with yourself even hiring the private function room. I called today at 6:55 only to be told they stopped takeaways at 6:30 after explaining i’m a regular and not someone using them for one evening a year i was still declined service and find this very disappointing and feel better management would’ve really helped the restaurant out this evening.

Went there for a dim sum lunch. Far too pricey…particularly on just two pots of Chinese tea (apparently they charge the tea per person on refilling the teapot with just hot water). I mean how expensive can the little tea leaves cost!? In terms of the stir fries (noodles & hofun), portion size too small compared to the price it’s charged. Quality of the food only so-and-so. Didn’t give me the buzz and definitely not as good as before.

Dropped in without reservation on Mothers' Day and it was immediately clear they were very busy! No tables inside but a lovely lady said we'd be fine to sit outside if we wished. The view down the valley towards Mersea is a stunning vista of beautiful Essex countryside and on a nice sunny day, the setting was perfect. Now all we needed was some nice food - our server did say it may take a while given how busy they were. Thankfully, the food was great - a good menu with plenty of options, good portions. well priced, and our service was much quicker than we could have expected or hoped for. Everyone we spoke to were extremely polite and welcoming. I really, really enjoyed our visit.
