East Orient Buffet Restaurant in Warrington

We went in for a quick lunch and it finished at 5 at one minute past 5 he charged us £20 DOUBLE as it was past the end of lunch. Service was slow and rude if the service was good we would have no problem with this restaurant

Told me after I paid that they do a discount if show medical letter dla or card wouldn’t give refund £22.75 for one plate food big bauld man proper snotty

Came in to try a variety of food with my son. So that he could taste more than one thing. Not great, I would say standard fair. I wouldn’t go again as not much choice

3pm deadline for the lunch serving and they stick to it rigidly. Food was looking very tired at 2.40 pm when I got there. Quite enjoyed it at the time but an hour later my stomach was turning somersaults. Had to make an unplanned stop to allow the dramatic evacuation of my lunch.

Food was nice . Wouldn't recommend if you have children that are fussy eaters as you are still charged full price for a small plate of duck and pancakes ! My one year old grandson who was having small bits of his daddy also was about to be charged until my niece put her foot down and said no way are we paying for a baby ! Absolutely ridiculous

My son lives near Warrington so we visited for his birthday and Booked a table here. On entering the service was spot on. Food delicious and what a choice didn’t know where to start or finish.Even the desserts spoilt for choice…. and the ice cream machine went down well. Definitely would return next time we’re visiting and will be our go to for food. Went on a Saturday very busy but efficient turn over.

Excellent service at this restaurant tonight! Delicious food, friendly staff. Would recommend. Wheelchair access also available.

We go normally 4 times per year. Went for evening dinner and had the KING PRAWNS. Mistake had to spit them out , they were all slushy inside , very very odd. After complaining 22/11/23 the lady just laughed shrugged her shoulders, as whats your problem ! The meats were fatty.Too much salt. Not impressed, needless to say will not be returning...

AWFUL! Wasn’t going to go again after last time we pointed out that the apple crumble had mould on but thought it may have improved since.. Food was average, went for tea with my 9 year old tonight, we have been home an hour and half and both of us are being sick and have stomach ache already!!

The prices were expensive, the food really wasn't that great! Which was really annoying considering there was a lot of us. It was mostly greasy. Rather poor quality and we are leaving feeling quite sickly! We really weren't amused by the adult to child price system as its by height not age! I find this ridiculous and scandalous! Also, i am certainly not amused that 1 child was "classed as a child" when first alocated seats - by your standards may i add.. although they are 11 years old, yet upon paying you chatged for an adult for an 11 year old. Again, ridiculous and scandalous!!! I'd like to state that my shortest-for-her age child ate far more than the other kids that you classed as adults.

Not really my thing Chinese buffet. Not been for years. Was nice back then and was my daughters choice today for her birthday. £19.95 for adults is just absurd and children’s £10 even worse. My son is 3 and don’t think he even finished a prawn cracker.. should be a lower priced one for younger ones!!! No air con so couldn’t enjoy my food in 30 degree heat. Beef inedible, literally had to spit it out it was that chewy. the rest not much better. Best bit was the banana in toffee syrup thing. Don’t normally leave poor reviews but can’t stand how this place massively Ofer charges for very poor quality food

Been a few times, Lovely hot fresh food. Plenty of variety. Pleasent Staff. Reasonable price. Didn't feel rushed.

I am very picky with Chinese food. The past few years everytime ive ate it I've swore I will never eat again due to it being awful every place I've tried. I came here not expecting much but wow, the abundance of choice was great. The food was good quality ,tasty and most importantly freshly topped up, buffet style. I really enjoyed everything I tried. It was a little more expensive than other places but I don't mind if it's worth it. Couldn't comment on dessert because I was stuffed after starter and main. Honestly beautiful and value for money!

Before we went to east orient today we looked through reviews and seen that there was quite alot of negative reviews. We are a care company who were having a special thank you day within our company so we arranged to go for lunch with the young adults we support with the staff team. Both our young adults are on autism spectrum with learning disabilities. One young adult gets really overawed with busy places and can become quite aggressive which he did become on arrival. A member of staff quickly seen this and asked if we required a quieter area upstairs which we accepted and our young adult managed perfectly. All i can say is a big thanks to all the staff at east orient, the food was excellent and cleanliness was excellent also. Once again thank you

First time eating here and definitely the last! We paid £67 for cold food. The restaurant is dirty and staff are rude they seem to just just want you in and out as quickly as possible. We also had bad tummies the next day. AVOID!

The place was clean, the staff were attentive, helpful. The food was delicious and such a large selection too. It was busy, but they cleared away plates and kept the table clean. I can't fault the service at all

The restaurant is a bit dated and didn’t look very clean. There was plenty of food choice on offer but looked cheap and the teriyaki service was not on offer which was a bit disappointing. The desserts looked and tasted like they was bought from Iceland. We paid £80 for 2 adults and 2 children with drinks which I think was a bit pricey for what we actually received. That night I got home and I had an upset stomach all night, next morning we all had bad stomachs and the Chinese just kept repeating on me so we definitely which wasn’t nice at all. I would not go back for the price and experience we had.

Not been for a few years - OMG it was horrible. Sticky tables, dirty chairs, floor was grimy, food was nowhere near as good as it used to be. This place really does need avoiding. Do yourself a favour, save your hard earned money and go elsewhere. It was just rough!!

Read some of the reviews so wasn't expecting much,honestly probably the best buffet place I've ever been to,food was really nice,all the meats where edible and not chewy turd u get in some places,it was clean,staff where polite ,deserts where lovely,,,I will be back as I've said the best buffet place I've been in,,just like them all the drinks r expensive

Went here tonight as a large group and the staff was absolutely rude! My child who is 11 is tall for her age, but she does not eat like an adult and I was rudely told she was being charged the full adult price when we sat down ( hadn't even asked at this point). I explained she wouldn't eat much and i was told very rudley that she is too tall to be charged a child price even if she ate one plate full of food it is full adult price. And i could leave if I didn't like it. Well i would have if i wasn't there for someones birthday. Well what if you are an adult under 150cm therefore you could pay the childs price? When they was collecting food they rudley leant over you, and at one point the woman was collecting plates either side of me and almost got me in the face with a handful of plates and cuttelry (no apology) When one of our guests was paying they snatched the credit card out of his hand before he could check the price. Never again will i go here.

Very little to complain about and the food is very good. It’s like having all the takeaway menu fresh and available for you. I enjoyed the many, food options snd they were cooked well and tasty. Service was excellent. All good.

visited here 21/1/2023 booked a table and still had to wait, we finally got a table, and straight away noticed how dirty this place is food on floor, dirty tables, the food is terrible to say the least, not a very good selection, there is suppose to be a teppanyaki station however this was not meant to be, toilets are absolutely the worst i have seen in a long long time, how health and safety let them carry on is beyond me, and as for pricing what a joke £3.80 for a coke , and £19 buffet i would not go here ever again the worst place ever trust me go to the chippy better choices

Decided to try this Chinese buffet restaurant........what a mistake!!!! The restaurant itself is nice enough, clean, plenty of seating, but I think they concentrated too much on the look of the place over the quality of food and service. The ribs are tiny and were...

I have to say when this first came to Warrington it was great. However i have seen such a Decline in Cleanliness, particularly in the Toilet Area, especially the Disabled Toilet, nothing but dirt upon dirt! The staff are always hanging around your tables and...

Not very vegetarian friendly. Poor selection. Not even a veggie curry. So I paid 17.99 for chips and rice. Staff no interested plates left on table eating holding your plate.

As long as you know what to expect from a buffet this one is good great choice of food and always being topped up so for £17.99 for as much as you want to eat give it a go definitely will be back

Went with friends for a Birthday meal, Food was a bit salty needed lots of drinks. Friendly staff and nice decor

Very nice food decent lunch time options nice setting and very reasonable price only negative some of the food could have been warmer but if you have heat lamps on to much food drys

food quality was not great only just warm strange hoi sin sauce like water. not cheap for what it was.

Food appalling and made myself and girlfriend really sick. Communicated duck and fish both tasted putrid. Waitress shrugged her shoulders, manageress did the same. DO NOT ATTEND UNLESS YOU LIKE FOOD THAT TASTES APPALLING AND MAKES YOU SICK

Me and my partner were doing some shopping in Warrington and thought we would try this place out as it looked really nice from the outside. We went and the food was diabolical. As soon as I ate my first plate I instantly felt ill....

Went here with my family. Very run down place. Food was cold and cheap quality. Staff ignorant. Wouldn’t go back or recommend.

We arrived at 8pm and we weren't told it closed at 9. Not only closed at 9, but all the food taken away and the the staff kept asking us to finish and leave!!!

Staff lovely. Always so nice. Food hot but very average taste. Hardly any variety compared to previous visits. Chinese only, no Indian food anymore. Silly process of gelling gloved which goes against normal infection control practices. Wouldn't return and I've been coming here for years....

My friend who has been to this restaurant many times invited me to come along to try it. When we arrived the atmosphere was welcoming and the smell of the food was amazing! We were greeted by a nice gentleman who seated us at our...

Attended the restaurant being medically exempt from wearing a face mask. Told I wasn’t allowed to get up to get my own food because I didn’t wear a mask. Discrimination at its finest. Ruined my experience and won’t be going back.

Never been so mortified in my life. We waited a long time for service, waitress took my male friends order and left without taking mine. Pitiful selection despite boasting vegetarian friendly and when asked if any of the desserts were vegetarian friendly refused to check...

Abit of a different experience due to covid. But it was outstanding. Food hot and tasty plus plenty of choice. You order from a reduced menu and They bring it over to ur table. As many times as you want. Restaurant spotless, staff always cleaning,...

Just had a great meal at this restaurant. You order what dishes you want and the helpful, very hard-working staff bring the food to your table. Food was very tasty and very hot.

Didn't think buffets would open, so after walking past we saw people eating we thought we would give it a go. Being a regular visitor there didn't think someone serving you buffet would work. It did!! Same food choices but they put food on your...

The food here is fine. The quality you would expect from an all you can eat. There were only 2 of us and to be honest, the price I paid, I could have just gone to a Chinese and ordered a better quality meal with...

Love the food here. Always a great variety & tastes absolutely amazing. Excellent value for money too

Me and my partner are proper foodies and loved it- there was a lot of variety when it came to the food which is something I struggle with sometimes being vegetarian but that wasn't the case at all here- great value too! We found the...

21 of us went on work night out and 18 of us were seriously ill the next day avoid at all costs! Rude management when tried to express our concerns with attitude that says they don’t care about customers you just see you as a number

my meal with my family was gorgeous, there was so much variety and the food was delicious! Been many times and will be returning soon!

This my favourite place always call in for my lunch when town food grate good selection staff are very Friendly I been come here for some years now

Deni2001 looks like you'd eat anything. The food is more than luke warns when I go and yes it is special...I always brag about this place and the spicy peanut butter sauce. The chicken is always moist. I will be coming back to this place soon.

Friday night christmas buffet with friends. food was varied and well cooked. standard buffet fare nothing to writ ehome about and closed quite early

This buffet was ok but nothing special i like my food hot and it was all luke warm spoilt it for me i wouldn't go back

A szilveszteri angliai kilátogatásom alkalmával jöttünk el ide ismét, és azt kell mondjam, hogy szerencsére a minőség az nem romlott meg azalatt a 3 év során, amióta utoljára itt jártam. Viszont amire az ilyen éttermeknél tényleg oda kell figyelni, hogy mindenből csak egy keveset szabad szedni a tányérra, mert annyi finomság van itt, hogy azokat végig kell kóstolni, és az elég rossz taktika tud lenni, ha az ember már az elején a túl vállalja magát.

It has been many years since we were last here. I was pleasantly surprised by how lovely the staff were that greeted us and took our drinks order. I remember thinking that there wasn't much choice on my last visit and to be honest for a buffet it is selective but there was enough variety for us. I wasn't expecting it to be outstanding but i enjoyed everything I had as did the rest of the troop so its a big thumbs up from us.

Me and my family went for my little brothers birthday and had an excellent experience. My grandad who has a problem walking came with us and we didn’t want him to miss out on choosing what he wanted so we called in and very happily let us in through the top doors and let us choose where we sat! The staff are extremely friendly as well and keen to help with any problems.

To take a break from shopping,we called here for lunch.

This restaurant simply does not comply with food regulations when it comes to temperature probing. The temperature of food was barely warm with the manager suggesting we should get the food from the bottom of the buffet tray?Surely this is admission that the food temperature is not regulated.

Went at around 13 yesterday and was truly shocked. The chair was dirty. Small plates. Starters was cold and very greasy. Frozen meats cooked in Chinese style. I ordered one latte and they give my a Tango

Having visited 2 years ago and being impressed, I now take that back. This time we arrived at 12.15pm so expecting everything to be fresh but were met with food that was only just warm. Also, noticed the food is just topped up rather than replaced for fresh - a ground for breeding bacteria! Didn't enjoy at all this time and to top it off the loose stink. Won't be wasting my time again - even my 8 year old wasn't impressed!

It's not the best Chinese/Indian food I've ever had, but as a way to introduce kids to the different flavours without having to order full dishes from a menu it is excellent!

Excellent meal, bargain at £9 a head for lunch time. The staff were very welcoming and helpful. I highly recommend here if you are up for a good meal!!

Excellent value for money and good quality for a Buffett. Slightly more expensive on a Sunday but more choice of desserts and mains. Good choice for the kids too.

Located in Warrington, U.K. The town appears quite desolate, with most of the shops closed. Found this Chinese restaurant, and went inside thinking we would have something fresh and tasty. What a disappointment! None of the dishes were of any appreciable standard. Most were variations of chicken. But they lacked that fresh taste. Not a single dish had a memorable taste. Dull. Frozen meats cooked in Chinese style, but very disappointing. The desserts were a disaster. One look at the ice-creams and you realized you were in a third-rate joint, selling what were essentially left-overs under the garb of buffet.

The choice and range of food was very good but the items I choice were not up to my liking, example the salt and pepper leg and wings we're over cooked and greasy and I could hardly taste the s and p. You will find something to eat to make the price good value for money.

This is a lovely chinese buffet resturant. There is a lot of choice condtantly bringing out fresh food. The place its self is very clean and the staff are friendly and very helpful notjing is too much trouble.

This was my second visit with the family, we came back as we enjoyed it so much the first time, there is such a great choice, a kids section with some english food, a large selection of chinese food and then Indian at the end, plus a great selection of desserts including mr whippy ice creams, my fave was the banana fritters.

Wow. I’ve been to many Asian buffets in my lifetime but this one is a place where I would go back.

I have eaten here, I believe 3 times before, and each time with the same family… a married couple, friends of mine with their 2 horrors… I mean great children… ahem!

Been a few times but just seems to be less quality and portions, rice and noodles are tasteless. Other bits are nice like the ice cream lol

Spent a fortune on very little. You kind of understood that there wouldn't be an actual vegetarian main meal on the buffet but there was always plenty of choice of side dishes which soon filled you up. There was actually very little choice of anything that wasn't meat of fish this time. I queried it with several of the staff who just thought I was crazy. Eventually spoke to a couple of guys who seemed to be in charge but they just dismissed me with contempt.

I've been visiting this place since it opened in the early 2000's and could not fault it in any way until recently . They've always supplied restaurant quality food in a buffet style and the service was always friendly , efficient and polite , but recently I feel the management may have got a bit greedy . There have been a few price hikes over the last couple of years ; and although it still offers good value for money ; is now relatively expensive . Also they have stopped opening during the afternoon (bad for me as I would regularly pick the kids up from school and go straight there) and at the same time appear to have got rid of some staff , so now the service (clearing tables , getting drinks etc) isn't as slick . In fact at peak times , service could be described as poor . I now don't attend as often as I did ; mainly due to the cost ; but having said that I would never put people off coming here , the quality of the food has never changed . From my point of view it has become more of a once a month treat rather than a much more regular thing . If you do go , my personal recommendations are the Chicken and sweetcorn soup , stuffed mushrooms , steak cantonese style and char sui in hoisin sauce and of course the banana fritters drenched in toffee sauce !

There must have been about 25 types of rather nicely cooked and tasting meat dishes. Not necessarily unusual in Chinese Buffet Restaurants, but what was very good was that each of these dishes actually TASTED different, which I am sure, was their intent!

We attempted to go here 28/06. We were seated and someone came over and said 2 adults and a child. We said no just 2 adults as our child won’t eat anything apart from maybe 2-3 prawn crackers. We were told we have to pay full price for him.

Love this place great value for money always busy so best to book a table.£12.99 on a sunday you cant get better .food is great.

The food was terrible, only thing edible was the duck! They even charged my nephew £8.50 for his 3yr old daughter because she wasn't in an high chair!! She actually eaten 1 sausage and 3 prawn crackers. He said air con was on, haha no chance it was way too hot! Everyone sat fanning themselves with my daughters cards. She had looked forward to it for awhile before we went only to be so dissapointed, so No don't recommend this place to anyone.

I had not been here for a few years to which the food prices were reasonable then and the food was nice, 30 of us went on Saturday 1/6/19, they put us in the hottest place ever with petitions between each table so without going over to someone’s table to chat you missed out on family and friends chat, it was so hot you didn’t want to eat it was on the level we’re the bar is the roof is low and no windows or doors you can open, no air-con so very hot when food core is on the next level down and as heat rises it just got hotter and hotter so we didn’t stay long, then they sat strangers round us which I thought was ignorant of them as it was booked as a 21st meal, the food was disgusting, chips that tasted like they had been warmed up from days ago, prawn toast that was rock solid and would break your teeth, ribs in sauce with no meat on other food disgusting, sweets £1 each in Asda, they have a tappenyaki food counter which was shut, a large Chinese man on bar very ignorant he poured pints of lager which were half lager half froth looked more like an ice cream told him I wanted a full pint he put a little bit in and slammed glass down on bar which costs about £4 a pint, was charged £8.50 for granddaughter aged 3 because she didn’t sit in an high chair £3 if sat in high chair if they had told me this I would have sat her in a high chair not like they are were you can see them, then had the cheek to charge £16.50 per person, the large guy at the bar told us we couldn’t leave til everyone had paid cos we were all paying separately, my 21 year old niece was upset she had invited family and friends for a meal that was a big disappointment too hot ignorant and disgusting food ruined her special day none of the 30 guests will be eating there ever again BIG let-down

Visited with my daughter, a lot of food was dried up, some food wasn't that warm ( wondering if it was warm enough?) Staff all looked miserable. Then to top off our visit I was charged the adult price for my daughter who is 11 and clearly a child, I queried the charge and was told it was their policy if you are over a certain height. I would suggest they re-write their price list and remove the word child as they are charging based on height!! Surely a child of 11 is a child, regardless of their height? I certainly won't be going back anytime soon!!!

Lots of variety, but duck was soggy, not crispy, some food been out so long it was hard from the overhead heaters. If you shone a uv light, the place would glow with all the MSG. I expect Chinese meat to be velvetted, but only the chicken was, the rest was tough. Service excellent though.

This place is definitely all that you can eat and that is reflected in the quality of the food. I’ve been here before, at a lunchtime. If I remember it was £7.50 a head. Anyway this time it was a Friday night at £15.50 a head. Let’s just say if the price is double then it’s not worth the money. Either stick to lunchtime or get yourself a takeaway.

Just got back from our favourite Chinese. Stuffed as always . Staff always friendly and quick to clear tables . Food always fresh and hot . Lost count how many times we visit . Usually a Friday when we are child free . Never costs us more than 40 quid which is reasonable for a couple these days ..

Lovely food and very nice staff will be going again easy parking would recommend for anyone going with children

Arrived shortly after opening on Sunday Nice and quiet Food was amazing. For the price you pay there is so much choice and it tastes so good

Went to east orient Sunday evening for my daughters birthday food was fresh, hot and a good selection. Price was reasonable and would go again.

went here during their after 5 service was not dissapointed, awesome value for money. steak teriyaki and duck were available after 5 and were delicious. however the chicken tikka remains my favourtie thing there

We came here for a work's Christmas night out. I am not usually into Chinese food and I also normally prefer proper sit-down meals, however I was certainly very impressed with my experience here!

Me and my boyfriend eat here all the time and cant fault it!! Always tasty and staff are nice :) always recommend

I’m not really into all you can eat! But after a works Christmas party all I needed was lots of choice and wanted to pig out.

Used to bring my boys here often as they love it, but everytime i have been in the last few months the grubbiness has got worse. The chairs are all stained, and where they have tried to cover them with fake leather its ripped. Plates and cutlery are grubby, and the last time I went, which I why have stopped going, it was pouring down outside and it was leaking in through the ceiling, and the splashes was right next to the food trays. This put me right off and i havent been back since.

My wife and I visited here on a spur of the moment, what a terrible decision, the plates weren’t that clean, neither where bowls or cutlery. Chairs had lumps out of the coverings and to cap it all as we paid the bill we where told by the staff that if we went earlier than 1900 it is cheaper and all the rubbish food isn’t left. Certainly most definitely would not visit again.

Usually ok. But this time there was raw chicken. When told manager just made excuse that it's the marinade on the chicken really put me off eating anymore won't be going again and not even an apology.

Really nice food, nicest Chinese food I’ve had tbf and will probably go again if I ever go in to Warrington.

Amazing amount of choice, and hot food unlike the buffet restuarant near me in Kent,great idea of soft Mr whippy type machine for desserts, my great granddaughter loved it! Excellent value for money under £50 including drinks!

We had a date night and we enjoyed a lovely couple of plates of food. Although I was sensible and didn't pile too much on so I had room for the delicious toffee cheesecake!

Visited with family on a Sunday, short wait for a table, once seated we had plenty of room and comfortable seats. Huge deal of variation in starters mains and dessert, great quality food and kept nice and hot. Impressed as these are much better than other buffet places, would definitely visit again.

Whilst on a Sunday trip to Warrington, the ball and chain and I decided to nip in here for a bite to eat. Seeing as these places charge top whack on the day of rest, I expected a full array of oriental cuisine. On the whole, I was not disappointed, there was a lot to choose from. I didn't enjoy everything, but that may have been my own personal taste rather than a sign of bad cooking. My personal favourites were the chicken satay and honey glazed pork.
