China Town Buffet in Great Yarmouth

Having had some really good experiences with Chinese Buffet, we thought we'd give this one a try but quickly regretted it. There was very little choice in dishes, the food that was there looked and tasted like it had been sitting around for too long. There was one choice in desserts which was a bit of stale swiss role and the drinks were insanely priced. The place felt grubby and unloved. One of the kitchen staff wasn't very pleasant to us when I asked her if she could top up the food but she's probably used to people complaining. The young waitress appeared embarrassed, not surprisingly... I really did feel sorry for her. We would never recommend this place. They shouldn't' be running this business.

Ten out of ten for effort! Not as good as my favourite one but, if you are looking for Chinese food for a change, the best in the area.

been there a few times last year back again but closd hope they open soon not much choice bbut what there was was good

2nd time of going here, all you can eat. Prices very good, go up as many times as you want and the food, every time we have been in is very good, the staff are very polite and pleasant

Wife had gone Christmas shopping with daughter so got the bus to Great Yarmouth and had seen the boards outside China town on previous visit so went in and was greeted by a very friendly lady who showed me to my seat and explained what was on offer.I was then given a plate and told to help myself to the selection available.As well as the normal rice,noodles etc there was chicken,beef,spring rolls and plenty of other things.I filled my plate and enjoyed it so went back for seconds.I will return

It was menu on the board outside and fact that my partner likes bouffet style, that drew us into this place. However regretted going in. Im not surprised it was quiet. A small plate for one meal or eat all you like for extra couple of pounds. We should have left when we saw what was on offer. What was advertised on board outside was not what was offered inside. Very little choice and not very enjoyable. Avoid at all cost. Im not a fussy eater and some have said in previous reviews that the price is what you get. I dont look for fine dining just choice and a good meal. In my opinion This was not worth the price paid. my advice is look elsewhere.

Firstly I asked for take away food, the take away boxes are on a far shelf on the back of the till and nobody can see the size properly, the lady behind the till refused to show me the boxes closer, and when I asked for a small take away box she refused to sell me as the small boxes are sold for kids only??????? So if you not a big eater and want a small take away box , if you have kids you have to take them with you to proof the take away you having is not for yourself, but for your child. Yes, believe me those are the restaurant rules even for a simple take away. The restaurant also don't accept cards, just cash. Hey this is 21 century and you don't have a card machine???? Awful customer service, cold food, no taste. The restaurant was empty and it will keep like that if the owners don't improve a lot of things in there.

There was not much choice we had a few mouthfuls, cut our losses paid and went else where. I would not recommend.

I'm not sure where to start.. We asked for a high chair for our 15 month old, both were in use "well what do you want me to do about it?" then we were huffed at for keeping her sat in her pushchair. The buffet pricing is just stupid and confusing. One plate, full buffet, box price?? Just charge a flat rate with cheaper prices for kids, not difficult is it?? Our little one could eat "chips and crackers" for free but we had to pay takeaway box price if she ate more, no concession prices. Who seriously eats a buffet chinese in front of their children and just feeds them chips and crackers? There is no space. Staff were stressed and harrassed and took it out on customers. They had a stand up screaming argument with a woman who let her toddler have a chicken ball and tried to charge her full adult buffet price. The food was watered down slop, but the chicken balls were reasonable and it was hot at least. It's a shame our waitress nearly had a nervous breakdown because we had the audacity to aske her in passing if we could have a straw.. We were a family of 9 on our holidays and our bill plus drinks came to £70-odd.. and they still quibbled over what my daughter and husband ate, and were spotted inspecting the plates to see if they had more than we'd stated. I'm sure they don't care, as they aren't trying to attract regulars, it's all just passing holiday trade.. but they could at least pretend to ATTEMPT a decent service.

For £8.95 you know it's not going to be the finest cuisine, but i've got quite a big appetite and so ate quite a lot so for me it was worth it. Not a massive selection but you get what you pay for. If it's fine dining you want then this is definitely not the place for you but if it's quantity over quality you want then may be worth paying a visit.

We came across China town while walking down regent road we decided to go there that night and try. We got seat straight away lovely warm plates, good selection of food, lovely staff, always putting more food out when running out or low. Good prices could have one plate and pile what want on for around £6.95 I believe or as many times as u want for £8.95 I believe. We even went back a second time in the week. Thank you food and service brill.

Me and my partner called in here for dinner one evening whilst away in Yarmouth. I was immediately drawn to the price of the food, I thought well that seems reasonable. So in we went. I kind of wish I didn't.. The staff were friendly and helpful, however the food was really not great. The temperature of the food was a cause for concern. And it all seemed quite watered down. The curry sauce really wasn't nice. The only thing I did enjoy was the chicken balls which were fresh, and the egg fried rice. Other than that it didn't really enjoy it which was a shame. The only fault I could find with the staff, was an older waitress openly chewing gum whilst around the food, and then when I paid the bill. I'm not sure if this hasn't recently gone under new management or something, but there is definite room for improvement.

Visited whilst on holiday with my family, seated straight away and drinks order taken and served. The waitress were very informative about the food. The starter and main section had a lot of choice and was all hot and tasty. Beef in black bean sauce and the pork dish was delicious.

I visited here yesterday. The food is hot and ok ish some quiet bland and tastes watered down. It's replenished often with small amounts, but just topped up with the existing dish🤔. I also witnessed a staff member spilling something behind the buffet range and clean it up with paper towel then proceed with cleaning the buffet down and NOT wash there hands. Enough said we shall not be visiting again. Id like to add i am level 3 trained in food hygiene I could add more but won't.

We visited here yesterday as looking for something different to eat rather than just burgers and chips and my other half had eaten a takeaway lunchtime box a few days before that tasted nice. I wasn't too sure what to expect when we walked in as didn't seem a huge amount of choice. However what we did choose was quiet tasty and enjoyed by everyone in our party of 5. We paid £39 for 3 adults and 2 children including drinks which isn't too bad value considering we all had 2 plates of food each.

This was the worst Chinese I have ever had ! Got shown to our seats and explained that we would still get the lunch time price which we though was good, then decided to tell us that we would need to buy a take away...

This is budget got shown to a table which had to be cleaned but no they just cleared the last persons plate. Food looked really awful me and my husband we were scared to eat and told our daughters to leave. The food looked disgusting...
