Confucious in Medway

Very good food, service, and comfy atmosphere, deff would recommend

Always friendly food is always amazing. Always made to feel welcome. Goes far and beyond to make sure everyone has a perfect evening. 👌

Friendly staff and atmosphere, nothing too much trouble, food and service great.

Iv just had a take out delivered did not wait long It arrived hot nice man delivered it , the food was amazing , chicken satay the best iv ever had anywhere . Lemon prawns absolutely super egg rice and seaweed all great . Staff in the phone friendly can’t ask for more Thank you confusious

Everything good definitely will return. Thank you.

In this magical little town, almost all restaurants on a street are closed during the business hours written on it.

Really nice food and atmosphere

Takeaway food not nice at all. Hidden charge for Deliveroo delivery even though not ordered through them. Should have been £1 delivery only. Very rude staff who ridicule customers when politely reporting delivery charge mix up. Not going to be an issue in future as will never eat from there again.

Always has been amazing been going for over 20 years it's the best!

Takeaway portions are rather small,on the expensive side,food was just ok nothing special. Curry sauce way way way to watery.

Very good food both waitress made you feel welcome

Going there for years now. Favourite place of the familys!

Well respected Chinese Restaurant in Chatham Kent. We had a lovely evening meal with 6 friends, the reception as we walked in was superb and the staff were just so kind and patient as we scoured our way through the menu. Nothing was too much trouble with ordering extra drinks. Highly recommended for families with or without young children.

1st time ordering here one of the best from London through kent with the dishes I had. the sauce for the satay chicken is the best I've ever tried. also the bbq ribs were perfectly cooked complements to the chef.

Amazing food, service and ambience. Also very hot Honey too. Come visit, you will not be disappointed or confused. Thank you

AVOID TAKEAWAY… Takeaway was very poor. Rang it through and seemed ok. Took 45 minutes but food was pretty awful to say the least. Soggy sweaty chips, nasty tasting dishes which had been thrown together. Will definitely not try here again there are many much better places. Restaurant should up its game it’s shameful (unhappy Customer £45 down)

Food had a grey curly hair in it, which the waiter then agreed to, and called over the other women who turned round and said it was a BEAN SPROUT! This was after receiving a dirty plate to eat food off without even an apology, service is rude and clearly not meeting hygiene protocols! Will not be returning, absolutely disgusted!

Amazing food and great choices. Food is always fresh, and you don't have to wait long. Staff is always friendly and helpful. We've had lots of celebrations here. Highly recommend not to eat much before you come because you need plenty of room to appreciate a feast 😊

I had a takeaway. The place was busy, but no excuse for undercooked meat.

Amazing food all you can eat love coming here not in the best of areas in Chatham. And not much parking, but so worth it tbh. Staff are so friendly to

A brilliant experience: buffet style Chinese food with a difference. Lovely staff with great sense of humour so we had a lovely evening in their company.

Went for a 12th birthday. they could not cope with Two tables. food very slow and took nearly four hours to eat. birthday girl was very disappointed as she was on the quiet table. She told her mum never go back there, not happy!!

Called last minute and they gave us a table for 2 amazing service and amazing food definitely be back after the new year

Lovely food, fantastic friendly service and atmosphere good.

I ordered from them. First time today and I won't be going anywhere else.

Excellent food and service, couldn't ask for anything else

Been going here for at least 15 years. Glad it's back open again.

Food is terrible. I was led by the reviews to order here, the food tastes terrible. Squid is so over fried, I’d been chewing for ages. Dry and tasteless. I had to re season the rice. Please try somewhere else

Food hot & fresh, service with a smile, always a special treat to come here and it’s not far from where we live. Highly recommended

Amazing food, the staff were hilarious, and I had excellent value for money. I would definitely go back. Only minus was the space available, but brilliant place

Food tasted awful, squid overcooked with batter undercooked?! Vegetables practically raw. I had food poisoning all next day. Threw leftovers in bin.

Lovely food and a simple ordering system. Food is all cooked to order and not bulk cooked and kept warm. Peons are not big, so don't think you will share a dish with just a couple of you. Reasonable price and friendly staff.

This was our first visit to confucious and we were very pleased. Lovely food, nice atmosphere and great service. My favourite dish was the duck, omg so nice. Had sweet n sour with vermicelli noodles wasn't too impressed as was ment to be spicy but wasn't at all,still ate it but was missing something (chilli's) lol😆. Would recommend still and would go again.

Great food, price, and super funny lovely staff

Staff friendly, service good and prices very resonable We enjoyed our night

This place is a hidden gem. The staff are attentive and can not do enough for you. Eat as much as you like, starters, soup, duck, or lamb, followed by mains and dessert if you have any space. Chicken satay and mussels with garlic are our faves. Each visit, we try a new dish and it does not disappoint

All you can eat, fixed price buffet, but everything is made to order. Friendly and attentive staff. Located just after the pedestrianised section of Chatham high street, but worth taking those few extra steps. Don't let the decor put you off (basic - but clean).

TABLE OF 8 6pm Very disappointed with some of the meal and service today. Charged for a child (4yrs) that didn’t eat a thing. They wanted to argue the fact they had cooked extra for him 🤔 Was served noodles that had been stuck to the bottom of the pan. The noodles were evidently burnt, we could see and taste. Special fried Rice was dry, The sweet and sour chicken was slapped on the plate with 70% of the chicken pieces totally dry and the sauce was at the base of the plate (slap dash) Unfortunately that will be the last time I visit the restaurant, I have eaten there many times but they have clearly shown that money is more important than customer satisfaction. Shame!

We ordered from Confucius for the first time tonight and it was absolutely delicious. Thoroughly recommend them.

OMG! So good! Big feed, food was delicious and staff and such characters! 10/10

We travel from London to Kent frequently, and always go out of our way to call in here, the food is lovely and the staff are super friendly, can't fault the place

Absolutely amazing the restaurant was full we had a table of 17 the service was fantastic all food was cooked fresh and the staff went beyond all expectations would highly recommend it well worth booking

Good quality Chinese cuisine and serving some traditional Asian dishes which is rare to find in a small local restaurant. The service was quick and staff was nice. Reason for 4 star and not 5 is that the restaurant can certainly do with a refurb to make it more welcoming and comfortable for guests to eat in!

We went for a work birthday meal last week, there was 11 of us altogether. The restaurant itself is tiny and not much room to move or sit. Once everyone arrived one of the staff team basically implied we might walk out without paying and asked if we could pay first which wasn't an option because not everyone was paying. The same staff member was patronising when discussing the food options and went down the menu one by one rather than letting us actually look at the menu ourselves to choose. The rice was dry, and the egg fried rice was like plastic. The chicken curry tasted powdery like it hadn't been mixed properly. Absolutely do not recommend.

Nice cooked to order food. Restaurant a little dated, but the staff friendly and service was quick. Tables are a little crammed in, but not uncomfortably so. Will be back to enjoy the tasty menu 👌🏻.

Great food Great prices excellent service 👍

Absolutely lovely food and v friendly service

Great value buffet with friendly staff and excellent food

The food was really good and so fresh will definitely be going back here.

Better be clear what you want and not ask them to do their jobs because they'll reluctantly turn around and sigh at you then walk off in a slumped strop

Excellent service Excellent food

Wären beinahe nicht reingegangen. Der Service kommt auch etwas ruppig daher. Aber das Essen ist einsame Spitze. Ist auch immer gut besucht. Besser vorbestellen.

DO NOT EAT HERE Just had lunch here with my girlfriend the food was disgusting was just bone and gristle on ever course we ate not that we had a lot the staff was very rude especially 1 member of staff and had the cheek to still charge us 50 pound please do not eat here it’s absolutely horrible me and my partner spent the rest of the afternoon on the toilet

Auch wenn es nicht einen einladenden Eindruck macht, man sollte eintreten und das Essen geniessen. Das Fleisch war zart, das Gemüse knackig. Wir waren angenehm überrascht. Die Bedienung war am Anfang etwas ruppig, aber dann sehr nett. Wir werden in jedem Fall wieder kommen und auch das Menü geniessen.

Food is good, however, I think service has changed slightly negatively recently. I don't like the aspect (not just Confucious) that in Asian cuisine you have to be out by a certain time (roughly 1.5 hrs) having a big host of people spending upwards of £250 in one sitting. I don't like the aspect that you will be refused to re-order close to your proposed leaving time when your are the paying customers for an All-you-can-eat.

Fantastic service and food. Problem is there's no parking as the car park is closed behind.

All good - very helpful and friendly staff and amazing food. Can't wait to go back.

Food as always was delicious and freshly cooked to order.

Beautiful food, amazing staff and its slightly expensive but quality.

Brilliant work do here!! Staff all loved it. Food was amazing!

As usual food outstanding Staff also outstanding great place to dine also Good value for money

Visited for a work meal with 5 colleagues. Fantastic choice of food. Great staff, polite and friendly. Will 100% be returning and would highly recommend to anyone looking for a Chinese restaurant.

Delicious food and lovely, very friendly staff

Visit this restaurant at least once a year. The staff are so friendly and the food is amazing. Make sure you book well in advance for the weekends as they can become fully booked very quickly. For the best experience, I recommend booking as a larger group. Fantastic for special occasions.

DO NOT EAT HERE! IF YOU HAVE YOU HAVE YOUNG CHILDREN. We went to this restaurant today for my dads birthday, firstly staff were not friendly on entry. Once sat down and ready to order the buffet option the waiter explained that I would have to pay £6 for my 1 year old - who is DEFINITELY not going to eat even 2 spoons of rice. She said if she eats I have to pay, if she doesn’t eat I don’t have to pay. I had expressed my feelings that she is literally going to have a couple bits from my plate - she ignored me and walked away. I then got up to tell her that we were ready to order and she said she is not going to take our order until the whole table (6 of us) pay! Before we have even eaten when this wasn’t the general consensus of the restaurant. No way was we giving our money to them so we got up and walked out.

First time at this restaurant, staff are very rude,space is very limited,needs some updating. Expected us to pay for our 12 month year old even though we insisted she will not eat more then a tablespoon of rice, she refused to serve us unless we pay before we had eaten to make sure we don’t give the baby any. Will never go back there again

Everyone there is rlly friendly and can have a banter, gorgeous food. My family and I loved it there x

Hi just had a takeaway and absolutely disgusting heard good reviews but was all wrong don't believe what you've read not good

Amazing food and service, we have been visiting for years. The best Chinese around, food is always fresh and staff always friendly. Would 100% recommend

We tried Sunday all-you-can-eat lunch. It’s better to book in advance to avoid disappointing. Reasonable price, tasty food. Great location. City council car park is near by.

First time in Confucius and we will definitely return. The food was quite decent, considering that we went for the buffet option. Everything was freshly cooked with the satay skewers being the highlight and fried squid and prawns the only dishes that we will avoid next time. Excellent service, friendly and welcoming staff, who made last minute arrangements in order to accommodate us and this was very much appreciated. Thank you!

Was a birthday gathering service was 100% staff excellent and patient . Will definitely return on my own

My first visit to Confucius having read and heard good over the years. My partner and I had the buffet and I can honestly say it was the worst Chinese we have ever had…..so disappointing. The only highlight was the satay sauce with the beef skewers, which was superb. The other dishes were well below par. Such a shame and consequently, I won’t be returning. Sorry Confucius.

Been coming here for nearly 20 years and cannot rate them highly enough. The food is always of a high quality and cooked fresh to order. Still reasonably priced at £20 all you can eat. The team is amazing and friendly.

Fantastic food and super staff, would highly recommend this restaurant to everyone.

Visited this restaurant last night for a get together with friends. Manager very rude Food is nice although you have to order starters , second course all together then mains . Portion sizes are very small when their are a few of you eating even if two or more of same dishes are ordered. They make you feel like you can’t order anymore dishes if you liked a certain dish . When ordering a few dishes manager said don’t keep ordering as no waste otherwise 25% is added to the bill. It’s a set price per head (£19.99) and states you can order what you want. There wouldn’t be any waste as portion sizes so small. You need extra dishes to fill up on . Decor needed updating . It’s not a restaurant you would go into if you was just walking past Manager needs to be less rude

Visited this restaurant on Saturday 39th July. Food was excellent as usual but was not happy about being put in the back room right next to the kitchen and toilets. Also poor quality paper see through tablecloths let this restaurant down !!!

We went here for my sons 21st birthday and they were very attentive. The food was amazing! *edit* We attended again, 3 years later after covid and oh my god i am so glad that it is still open. The food was sooooo fresh and the waiting staff were attending to our every need!! Go and enjoy.... but be ready to be full.

Ate there last night with friends. Best Chinese I’ve tasted. Unfortunately I live in Wimbledon or this would be my regular. Highly recommend

The food was absolutely incredible and the staff were even better. Would go here again and again.

First visit recommended by friend. Can't thank them enough !! Staff attentive & food excellent. Will return.

Food is unreal. Great service. Very friendly. Nothing is too much. Just don't over order. You will not eat it all!!

Very nice restaurant and well priced eat as much as you like all fresh cooked under £20 each

Staff - very attentive and helpful, nothing was too much. I have a bunch of allergies/intolerances and food without fail came out as requested. We didn’t feel rushed but at the same time we didn’t have to wait for ages, food came out as and when we asked for it. Yes, lots of deep fried stuff but then again - that’s Chinese food for you, if I wanted something super healthy, I’d go to salad bar! Excellent Chinese food and exceptional service

Always a pleasure eating here especially in a large group we were looked after well friendliest staff made to feel as if we were part of the family.

The worst greesy Chinese I've ever had, chips and chicken balls looked like they were days old and re fried many times and all ended up in the bin urghhhh

Absolutely amazed at the quality of the food here the staff are very plesent and would most definitely eat here again hot tasty food at a very good price what more can you ask for

Amazing food and very friendly service, nothing further needed here 👌🥰

Delivery food very bland. Won't order again

Visited with family on Sunday, the restaurant itself needs some updating... if you were walking past you wouldn't decide to go in and eat however we saw the great reviews online and decided to give it a try. Food was nice, although few items came deep fried or in batter which was not stated on the menu. It is all you can eat however they like you to order all of the starters and second course at once and then all mains at once, which means you can't try some things and order more if you enjoy it... The manager is quite rude, her tone is sharp and aggressive and made you feel awkward to ask anything I.e. for more napkins. If it wasn't for such a rude manager (we are assuming she was the manager, she took the orders) then I would have given a review of 4 stars.

Excellent food, large menu and traditional Chinese high standards. The staff are very knowledgeable about dietary requirements. This is the first Chinese restaurant I have been to since being diagnosed as having gluten intolerance. I was delighted with the range of gluten free options. Will definitely be going back!

My wife's family goes there so often they are known personally by the staff. Thier food is brilliant, their service top notch. You wouldn't be disappointed. They also deliver!

First time here. will be back. Food delicious and hot. Service a little confusing as one after the other waiting staff came to take orders but all very friendly and helpful.very busy which is always a good sign

Came down from west Yorkshire to surprise my daughter the staff where very perlight food was out standing I would definitely recommend anyone to try definitely will not be disappointed will definitely be going back thanks to the girls who work there keep smiling

Hello people, I don’t know why people give this restaurant five stars from to my experience, this restaurant is not good for family with children little bit over priced and the food is like snacks and the food are not comes once, another thing they’re not represented eat as you like, pls be warned not value for money, I will not take my family there next time Thanks

Our 1st visit was made very welcome by members of staff explaining to us the way the buffet works all served at your table. All food was very tasty order what you want from the lunch menu give this one a try we will return soon B&K

Nice Chinese, but a little to busy. Also it would be nice to have your food all at once instead of coming in dribs and drabs.

Good food, reasonable prices and friendly staff 👌

Nice to return for the first time since the pandemic, and just as good as ever.

Amazing service and atmosphere... lots of food options to choose from. Considering we were a large group with young children, we felt we were well looked after. We shall be returning there very soon. We left happy and full with smile all around.
