French visiting Manchester.. We loved this restaurant with its all-you-can-eat buffet. Team, great varied buffet between the week and the weekend. Competitive price. I recommend

Everything was delicious. A little beat expensive.

Brilliant atmosphere with great staff, originally in Manchester for consulate, but ended up in a buffet. 10/10 would recommend and dine again.

Loved it. Buffet is the freshest I have seen yet and friendly staff happy to help. Highly recommended!

Best buffet in Manchester City! Always such a lovely welcome from the staff, fresh food coming out constantly. Lots to choose from and really great value for money! Prices board attached - November 24

A good selection of very tasty dishes. Service was very efficient and friendly. Would visit again!

Good price food is good service is brilliant I would defo go back

The food was okay, but prices are cheap, so it’s an option if you're looking for something budget-friendly, but don’t expect top quality.

Two people out of four have woken up with food poisoning after visiting here. Real shame as the staff were lovely and it's well located.

The food is great however the place is a bit small

Great as always value for money

Super busy on a saturay night so we had quite a wait and a limited time to eat. Overcrowded but the food is fine and regularly replaced.

Excellent choice of food reasonably priced and excellent service.

Been there lots of times bit awkward going down the stairs it's only small could do with a bigger selection of food

The food was amazingly tasty and the quality was also great. The staffs are professional, helpful and service oriented. Would recommend this place for sure. Must go in Chinatown Manchester

I am really surprised that this place have so many positive opinions, and because of them i went to there... food was cold and quality was very poor really small selection i am really not recommended this buffet. Only one good thing it was a staff they was brilliant.

Great price for the selection and quality of food. We went at the lunch time and got a great selection. It’s cheap and hits the spot. Perfect for people who don’t want to spend loads on a quick meal

Been multiple times, i think its great value

Wow wow wow, I was very impressed with this little place. From the second you walk in you are welcomed by the staff. The food is amazing, I especially loved the beef in blackbean sauce and the pork ribs. Place is very clean and staff are constantly cleaning the tables and taking away the dirty plates off the table. Staff are very friendly and helpful. What a gem this place is. It's a definite must if you want chinese.

It's a great place for all those who like Chinese food like me. Kid friendly, good service, a lovely atmosphere, and a very good economical value for money.

I love it here! The staff are the sweetest people ever and the food is absolutely delicious and such a great deal!! Can’t recommend them enough❤️

Great food for decent price. Variety of the food will suit anyone. The stuff is nice and friendly. The space is a bit tight though.

Very pleasant staff and the food 8s always on point

Good food ,great selection,very good value,lovely helpful waitress , called Vera will return soon

Food is always great, unreal ice cream, if I could give service 10 stars I would, always helpful and always talk to you with a smile

Wonder full staff great food 😋

Very friendly and helpful staff; However, I find that the price is high given the slightly limited choice The food was good but a little disappointing, especially on the desserts Basement restaurant

Great food. Poor after service. They took my payment twice then had the nerve to call me a liar and hung up. And yes I have the screen shot to prove it

Excellent food and service. Staff very polite. Would definitely recommend.

Excellent buffet food for price staff very friendly can be very busy

We chose this in China town, big mistake. Tables packed in too close, food choice was terrible. You need to pay for food in advance.

Such a great place to go eat. The food is always of high quality and so tasty. The food never runs out and the staff work so hard to make the place a great smooth place to eat.

I love it here! The staff are so friendly and ensure that your plates are taken away after you have finished so you can go up and get more. The food is incredible, tastes really fresh and good quality. I highly recommend

Nice and cozy. Amazing service. The food is phenomenal. Really enjoyed my visit here. Beer is awesome too. Tsingtao!

They provide good customer service and excellent food.

A smaller buffet style, but perfectly narrowed down to everyone’s favourites from a Chinese buffet. Food is constantly fresh and kept in rotation. Great quality food too. I was shocked how cheap it was for 2 people buffet during the day. Brave the unappealing narrow steps down and prepare yourself to be amazed by the best quality and cheapest buffet in Chinatown

Visited with my 2 Grandaughters, Buffet food so helped ourselves, Delicious food, plenty of choice, friendly staff... This is our 2nd visit, one of our favourites

Passionate preparation of food. Nice people too. Worth trying

Really tasty food at a cheap price! The staff were all really friendly, especially the girl with black and blonde hair! Thanks so much, will be coming back soon :) 💓

Very surprised by how good the food was here, it really was a decent Chinese Buffet with plenty of choice and fresh food being brought out regularly. The only strange thing is that you have to ask for ice cream, I wonder what situation caused "ice cream gate"? The other dish I would recommend is the duck pancakes, which were both fresh and had good ingredients.

lovely staff and food soooo good. my chinese friend approved!!

Excellent value for money This little family run buffet is excellent Been coming here for at least ten years and it's never changed Tasty goodness

Excellent food, fresh food replenished constantly!

Came here on a whim as been in the city for a party. Wanted something asian. 15.95 bufet sounded like an amazing option. And sure it was! Nice selection of food. Very tasty. Basic drink selection tho. Staff super polite. Very happy about the visit. Mind on paying before eating and drinks. Also 5£ minimum for card payments if youll order some extra drinks. No negatives from me. Would come back again for sure!

Full of Chinese so that's a good sign .food excellent

Good Food and service. I will visit another time in the near future.

Good Chinese food, very good value for money, all you can eat for only 13 pounds. In terms of dishes, there are different fried foods, stir-fried vegetables and Chinese meats, fried noodles and fried rice. In terms of desserts, there are canned fruits, soft ice cream, Chinese desserts, etc.

This place is awful. Situated in a basement, having to pay before eating, customers were packed like sardines in a tin, food was of a very low quality and staff who were watching you all of the time and very rude and unfriendly. Never again.

Busy Chinese buffet. Inexpensive but good quality. And the ice cream machine makes desert a treat - if you have room!!

Food is ok. £15 for all you can eat is pretty good deal

Great little place. Food was nice and staff friendly.

Almost inedible food. Everything tastes the same

I've been dining here for many years it's always excellent value and always excellent food the price is right, it's a buffet restaurant some people don't get it so please disregard the negative reviews and try China buffet.

China Buffet is a cheap and cheerful buffet right in the centre of town. It can feel a bit regimented though with all the notices around, ‘don’t do this’ ‘leave this alone’ etc. The food is standard but tasty. Could do with more stuff to put on the ice cream though.

Very professional and kind staff , food is nice , I recommend

the bar staff man is very nice and welcoming, he works way too hard though, his team need to help him out. thanks dude. Turns out the lady is also very independent! Great place

Great little Chinese buffet, good selection and great price.

Stumbled (quite literally) upon this place during mamchester pride one year and now it's our go to place to eat Chinese food in Manchester. Lots of choice and always fresh. Drinks are not expensive either. We went Saturday last week and for me and my wife for food 2 beers and 2 soft drinks it was just over 40 quid. Would highly recommend.

Taking into account that it is a buffet at a cheap price for the area, you cannot expect the same quality as in a normal restaurant, but precisely because it is a buffet I was pleasantly surprised. In general the food was delicious, in fact for example the fried chicken wings were very good (juicy but crunchy), the vegetable rolls were also very good, and the fried rice, beef and sweet and sour pork were also very tasty. The food replenishment was constant and the cleaning was more than correct. The workers were very polite and attentive, the place was clean, and, I don't know if it was because it was a Monday, but I didn't expect any queues. Overall great quality-price.

Does what it says at a very reasonable price. Hard working staff keep food restocked and drinks served. It is very "buffet" styled and functional, but for the price you can't complain.

Needs a refurbishment, but the food made up for it, a little gem hidden in a basement.

Found the buffet by chance ... The one we used to visit no longer open 😞 ... Finding this restaurant was really great ... Everything was perfect ... The choice of food is excellent, staff very attentive and the buffet was reasonably priced at 4:30 pm in the afternoon when we visited.

It is cheap in comparison with other chinese restaurants next to it but its menu is somewhat boring and lack of variety. Will be back there very soon.

Absolutely amazing! I was served by Firah and she was so lovely, her energy and service was great. 1000/10 coming back!!! Thank you

Hard to believe such a nice and cheap Chinese buffet still exist in 2024! Spent some time waiting to be seated but really worthwhile. There were a variety of food choices, from stir-fried meat and veg, to staple food like stir-fried noodles and rice, to desserts amd friuts.The food got filled up quickly once got empty. Although it's busy and a bit packed, the staff were very polite and enthusiastic.

Small-ish selection for a buffet, they seemed to be keeping things topped up. Staff were friendly, you have to pay at the counter first. Food was unbearably sweet for me, every main dish was very very sweet which was a shame. A lot of people in there seemed to be enjoying it though, and for £12:95 what do you expect? I would give it 2.5 stars if I could, sorry...

Even though it is a small little buffet and the menu isn't huge like most, all you can eats the food that they serve is delicious and the servers are incredibly kind and very helpful. I would recommend this place to anyone if you want some amazing Chinese food in Manchester without getting ripped off 10/10

Small choice but good choice! Been here about 3 or4 times now and it's always really good! staff are nice and friendly and good is always yummy and hot. Large choice of desserts and ice cream machine is always a hit!

Ok buffet, smaller than others, but is good value 😁 early dinner

I’m traveling with my bike but I didn’t have a lock. I left the bike by the window where I can see. 10 minutes later I saw some shadows on my bike. I ran out and the owner Phillip came out to back me up so the thief walks away. Later we chatted and I learned that this restaurant has opened for 20 years. no wonder they are able to keep this low price and good quality of food. I’m forever grateful to Phillip for standing up for me.

Very nice and relaxed place to enjoy your food

Staff are very friendly and helpful

Great first time visit, will defo be back, amazing food, great staff

Lots of good, reasonably priced food

It's has variety of Chinese food but taste is ok. Service is fine but it seems costly.

Great place, great buffet, great value for money but very popular (obviously) very busy and a bit claustrophobic.

Too many tables in a small area

Don't had much food. We don't like the taste. Prawns don't be cooked well.

Good value for money. Very tasty foods 😋

Food was excellent but you're crammed into a small space where other diners have no regards for others around. Our experience was people burping loudly, shouting over others for no reason, nudging and bumping into you whilst you're eating and grabbing hold of the back of your chair with their dirty hands touching your coat whilst carrying a plate of food that full it was falling off.. Not the best experience overall, We won't be going back unfortunately..

It was very busy when we went , it was sunday dinner time though. Staff are a little to eager to clear your table sometimes. But there's something to please most people food wise.

Great atmosphere for such a tiny place.very busy Saturday at 4:30 in the afternoon. Worth the wait of 10mins for a table. They give you one hour to eat what you can, such is the turnover with so many customers waiting to get in. Run of the mill Chinese buffet, plenty of choice and I love that desserts are simple chunks of jelly, pineapple, melon etc. Cheaper than a set menu and definitely value for money. Clean place, really friendly staff who work hard Chinese beers on sale served at the table. We had 3 visits to the food bar. Noodles, Rice, pork peppers chicken samosas spring rolls,Prawns, etc. Great choice, good place for kids nothing too spicy for them. The pace of theb place is a real buzz. Its one of the few remaining original buffet style places to eat for a set price of around £12. 3 of us eating with beers £50. Its a down to earth place for chow and I've lost count how many times I've been back time & time again. Compliments to the staff

2 of us came for lunch on Wednesday, value for money and nice food. Good variety of food. Did not try deserts but saw there were a few on display and ice-cream machine. Clean and serves very quickly but friendly staff.

Lovely food well worth the money

Lovely place..just need to consider people on wheel chair

Food is lovely but they don’t replace empty trays quick enough, so stood around waiting. The ice cream machine was broke

You ate food varieties until you were full. They had every good meal type in Chinese culinary opulence. Customer service was top-notch.

Visited on a Monday evening, reasonably busy but staff were plentiful and helpful. It's a no frills place, but as a self-serve buffet I wouldn't expect any. Food was really tasty, a good range of dishes all kept topped up. Seems to be good value for the area, especially as it is 'all you can eat'. Probably some of the best Chinese food I've had in a long time.

Come from Wales to this place.love the food and the staff are very friendly

Unfortunately, the food itself was not to our liking, in general we did not like everything, the only thing we found delicious was the sweet and sour chicken.

The staff are so helpful, the food is very good the buffet is looked after and topped up with fresh items price is purfect, a little chilli in the winter, but I am old and feel the cold will go back.

Don't believe the Google feedback; this place is horrible. It's located in the cellar with no windows, making it dark and smelling weird. It's very small, and the tables are almost touching each other. Some members of the staff were nice, but others were rude. The food is absolutely rubbish; it was horrible. While the soups are good, the pastas and sauces taste bitter, or like vinegar, which is really weird. There were few Iceland (deep-frozen) products, that were really oily, and the desserts... Almost just really cheap jelly and canned fruits, nothing else. And the jellys were disgusting too, how can you mess up a jelly? And the plates are also the cheapest, they were really small and the food spilled off to it. It cost around £12.50; I think it's really expensive for this quality. The Bon Asia all-you-can-eat buffet is £14.00 and is amazing, offering high quality with hundreds of options. Don't waste your money; it's not worth it at all.

Amazing little place hidden away. Amazing buffet with all you can eat in 60 mins. I managed 6 decent sized plates and a desert. No questions asked. Great food very friendly staff. Thanks

The service was fantastic, one of the servers walked us through the whole selection before we even sat down Really lovely place

Not big choice. Food was alright however when replenishing it the new food was really bland. 13£/person is a fair price for that in Manchester.

One of the best buffet places I've ever been to. Food was delicious!

Fantastic place. Delicious food, perfect for 1 person and all familys. I recommend.

played the entire pitch perfect album from start to finish. unreal

Food was ok, space in this little establishment is not great felt like we was rushed to eat our food to let waiting people in the restraunt due to not so many tables people who run the restraunt were nice and would call again but not when it's so busy you have to wait on the stairs before being allowed entry into the restraunt.
