Great food, caring helpful staff. We had all you can eat. They even leave you in charge of using the ice-cream machine.

Excellent food (quality and amount) and really friendly, attentive and efficient service. A small, cosy room with lovely decor and a great atmosphere. The main courses were delicious and the buffet is fab, it’s just hard to make room for all that food! And they were really sweet to my mum (who is in her 70’s) because it was her birthday. I’d recommend booking because they do get busy. And it is amazing value for money.

Dined here on 22nd October 2024 It's £18 for the buffet. The starters all appeared to be out of the cheapest range at Iceland...you know what I mean....the one where you get 100 Chinese itens for about £1.99. The main courses (which you order individually from a grubby laminated menu) weren't much better. To give the place a single glimmer of credit my sweet and sour dish was edible. My second dish was bland bland bland to the point of being tasteless.... Which

This place is insane, the staff are so unhappy and grumpy and rude, the lady in charge rushes you in and out, you feel like an inconvenience, I was crying with laughter by the end of the last meal. It’s tiny, it has one toilet - last decorated in the 70s and they shout at you the minute you walk in - have you got a reservation???? They squeeze people in, they ask people on tables to move due to their poor planning, it’s genuinely so much fun to watch. They remove the plates as you take your last fork full, you can’t manoeuvre to the buffet as you are all squeezed in like sardines. When ordering mains you feel like the waitresses might punch you at any given moment. It’s become our go to place when visiting, it’s like a Chinese faulty towers, every time we go there is a drama, it’s a great way to pass the evening. The food is fine and we’ve really enjoyed the mains and choice of desserts but overall the crap service and attitude is what makes it unique. Surprisingly in direct contrast to the rest of the staff - the chef or kitchen porter always had a great smile on his face. First time we went I couldn’t pay by card as the machine had died, they must have tried my card approximately 15 times whilst blocking me in from leaving - all the while I was happy to go get the cash. This time, the very second I had paid, they were standing to the side of me ready to clean with a spray bottle/ forcible eject me. They also said thank you directly to my partner when I was the one paying, no acknowledgement to me whatsoever. I was like… right we are leaving then I presume, in fits of laughter. I’m giving it 4 stars as it’s reasonably priced and much cheaper than going to the theatre for the same kind of performance.

Very disappointed! A flyer picked up locally said £14.99, online price from 2021 showing £12.99, actual price for Tuesday evening £17.99. The plates were cold, and the starters were ok but a limited selection, at least these were warm. Mains were a massive disappointment, both dishes tasted extremely similar. We had Cantonese chicken and Beef in Szechuan sauce,. Both were mediocre, lumps of meat and onion in a sauce, no other vegetables in one of the dishes, both were lacking flavour and went cold incredibly quickly due to cold serving dishes and cold plates. I am not convinced that the mains were freshly cooked, it could have been fresh from a supermarket chiller counter, the food was lacking in textures and bland. The mains were sufficiently bad that we elected to have more starters rather than risk a second main course. Service was sporadic; other tables were given complimentary prawn crackers, we were not offered any. We had to ask for our food order for mains to be taken. Desserts had a fair selection, however the ice cream machine began by dribbling watery melted cream into the plate which was very off putting and turned my gateaux soggy. Won't be returning as only really worth half a star.

Tiny room at the top of a staircase with about 15 tables in it. Starter buffet with various foods, sharing tongs for everything. Mains were decent, Szechuan sauce spicier than other places but Kung Po disappointingly mild. Dessert buffet consisting of shop-bought cheesecakes, jelly babies and soft serve ice cream. Can't say it deserves a food hygiene rating of 5.

I wouldnt bother wasting your money here, a group of us went out for a birthday celebration over the weekend, (Pre-Bookes) Most of the day my partner was getting phone after phone call to see if we still wanted the table as they had a few people ring to book, obviously he'd said yes we still want the table and kept telling them each time they rang. Anyway as we all arrived they had rammed the tables and it was over crowded. The food has gone down hill massively a few of us from the party were sick and feeling very unwell after the food and the service is shocking 😲 The waitresses were clearing our plates as we were still eating from them and trying to take our drink glasses will half full. One waitresses I had to tell her a few times that I wasn't finished as she had her hands on plate pulling it from infront of me while I was eating from it. Her attitude was well we need the plate 😲 shocked I said well I've ordered and I'm not finished. Also they couldn't even get the main orders right half of them came out and then about 20 min later the rest of the table come out. Needless to say we will not be returning, very disappointed. Not worth the money at all when it makes you sick afterwards. If you have thought about going here for food I'd give it a wide birth and save your time because you will be disappointed.

TERRIBLE, WONT BE GOING BACK! Went here couple days ago with a friend. Upon entry it was like entering someone's house and not a restaurant. We opted for the 'All you can eat' buffet. Firstly the main buffet was starter items. Most of them tasted like they were from the frozen section in ASDA. The chicken in the satay sauce was boiled and the curry was the just add water ones. I felt like I could of just had the same experience at home. Secondly the waiters felt like they were rushing us constantly. Myself and my friend would pick up the menu and someone would be INSTANTLY at the table ready to take the order, didn't give us a chance to actually read the menu. Thirdly once we had finished having a dessert the manager (I think) came over asking if we were ready for the bill. We paid for all you can eat so it is unprofessional to assume when we're finished. Again just felt rushed. Won't be going back, I suggest Semaphore Lodge near Old Colwyn if you want a better all you can eat experience.

We did the £18 eat all you like buffet. We arrived around 6 on a Friday night and were seated straight away. All the staff were very friendly (but at times a bit too keen to take our plates away). The starters were "go back for seconds" type. Lots of main course food and dessert choices. Cannot say anything bad about the food. My favourite starter was the meatballs in a sauce, heaven. The room was on the small side but I did see a table of 8 enjoying themselves. We both came away full and wishing we had more space for some more. An enjoyable dinner.

First of all I'm a regular to this lovely buffet restaurant and have been coming here for several years now. The overall size of the restaurant is good, providing plenty of room to sit down to have great meals. I just want to point out the fact I'm a very tall 6'2 guy and there's plenty of room for sitting at the table. Other so called reviews saying it's crammed in is just downright ridiculous, there's enough room to fit an elephant in there 😂 The Emperor still offers excellent value for money and they never over-charge me for a meal or drinks. All the staff here are very pleasant and friendly, afterall, I've been coming here for many years and not once an issue with the staff ever. This is one of the reasons I often visit here, knowing the staff are very friendly and very easy and nice to speak to. An excellent variety of different dishes to choose from, especially the high quality ribs in satay sauce, plenty of them to keep you going. Dont listen to the pathetic people who have been leaving negative reviews, they should analyse themselves thoroughly to ascertain why they have the relationships with the members of staff. All the staff, including Jess the manager, are lovely x They certainly don't over-charge and only charge you for what you order. Overall an excellent restaurant! The best Llandudno has to offer 😃

A great place to eat, especially if you’re hungry. Good value, especially compared to other local restaurants. Food was tasty and fresh. There are prawns in the starter buffet. I like how the mains have vegetables in them for a healthy diet. Desert was excellent - they have an ice cream machine as well. If you’re unsure what to choose for the main, be sure to ask the owner as she will recommend dishes you like. The only negative thing was that the noodles weren’t quite what you expect and are quite thin and dry, so you should go for rice instead. Service was good as well - our plates were frequently cleared so we can eat more, and the owner was really nice.

Absolutely lovely food, and great price. £17.99 for all you can eat, plenty of choice for starters which is a buffet style, which was being replenished regularly with freshly cooked food. Then order the mains, which is cooked fresh and served to you. You need to finish the main before being able to order another (if you have room!) which is understandable as not to create so much waste. There is also a large selection of desserts including an ice cream machine which is all buffet style. The meat in both the Mongolian Beef and chicken curry was cooked perfect. Would recommend a visit.

Came for a meal this evening service was awful after 2 mains bear in mind it all you can eat. As we was ignored I asked for bill. Apparently the card machine wasn't charged but no one mentioned this on arrival.explained only only had card was advised to go to cashpoint. As I had already had my limit out cash that day this wasnt a option. Then was asked to do bank transfer I had no online details on me and no charge on my phone anyway. I popped to loo whilst the owner was trying to charge handset. Came back to find out the waitress had tried to take my card to buy shopping from Sainsbury's to the value of bill. My husband has taken card off her they then wanted me to go to supermarket which I refused and then the waitress phone the police on me. I asked the owner if when police was called I could speak with them she agreed but waitress hung the call up after telling police I refused to give name. They had never asked any details. My partner went back to hotel to get cash. Absolute disgusting treatment stay clear

Craving for Chinese food and to our delight there is a Chinese buffet close to our lodging! The servers were super nice as we are walking up the stairs, and upon entering the dining area it was nicely furnished and creates a nice relaxing atmosphere. The appetizer table was pretty fantastic. I think I could just indulge on the meatballs, sausages, spring rolls and they have duck mushu wraps too. There are tempura shrimps. The buffet was piping hot and fresh. We left around 9pm and even tho it is late, the proprietor still bring out food to keep the food station fresh and warm just in case they get more customers. I like the idea that we can order the main course whenever we are ready to make sure that we get hot food - we got chicken with black bean sauce and sweet and sour fried tofu! It was delightful but it was hard to finish the main course since we ate so much appetizers. Definitely a keeper. We will most probably visit it one more time before leaving Llundudno.

Cheap eats in Llundudno! We came into an almost full restaurant, but we were lucky to be seated by the window at first. The hot starter was fantastic. There were a lot of options that we could sampled and were encouraged to help ourselves. The servers were courteous, and the portion was generous (we could barely finish the main course we were so full from the starters). We ended with large arrays of different desserts- lemon curd tarts, macarons, éclairs and they actually have a soft serve ice cream dispenser with toppings. Regretfully, we were so stuffed (there were too many choices and food) that we can only manage only a few macarons. They are very kid friendly, and they have big tables that are able to accommodate family dining. We definitely will be back the next time we visit Llundudno.

Visited again this week, for a family birthday this time. Just a great as usual. Food always piping hot. Excellent selection of tasty starters to choose from, really is a great selection. You then order your main course which is cooked fresh. Once you've eaten it you can order another main, but we've never needed to with all the starters. Then it's the dessert, lots to choose from again, including a whippee ice cream machine. Staff are always attentive. Great value, we will be back again soon

We booked a table for a Birthday celebration, a mix of ages. When we arrived we were waiting outside for the rest of the party to arrive (we had 7 of us in total) and within 2 minutes of standing by the door, a lady came running down asking if we wanted Chinese food? I thought I was standing on the strip in Ibiza. Myself, husband and teenage son went and sat down in a small dining area upstairs on a table with views of outside and awaited the rest of the group. We ordered drinks with the waitress who I didn't realize worked there as she was wearing a tracksuit. I had a gin and lemonade and I am sure they didn't put any gin in my glass and the lemonade was warm, my mother order a glass of wine (I will come to this at the end) and we had water too. Once everyone arrived I asked another waitress what we did as we could see people just getting up and walking to the small counter. We were advised we help ourselves to the food at the front and then they would come back and take our main order. We looked at the menu and it if I am being honest not much choice at all. At the counter again it wasn't what you would expect, cold over chips, onion rings, chicken nuggets, spicy chicken wings and some ribs not very "Chinese" at all. The main dishes came and they were half portions from what you would normally expect in little bowls and again if i am being honest tasted what I can only imagine as being smart price jars of sauce, no taste in any of the meals and the rice was all stuck together as if it had been cooked a few days before and scooped out and dolloped in a bowl. The deserts were all crusty and gone a funny color in the heat of the dining room and you had to squish in to try and get anything as the waitresses were walking past to go behind the counter, where a little old lady was sitting waiting for people to stand downstairs and look at the menu like we did and send the Ibiza rep down! When it came to the bill well the lady was trying to charge us for 8 adults 1) There was only 7 of us 2) we had 2 children 9 and 10. The child age is 10 but the 10 year old was charged as an adult which I suppose we could have argued but we just wanted to get out of there. The drinks were poured from big bottles so no wonder the drinks were flat and a glass of wine that was on the menu for £5.60 was being charged at £8.90 which is a large glass, when we weren't offered the choice of small or large and they said it was large, if they class that as large I would hate to see the small. The lady who took the payments kept changing the cost of what we owed and we still got over charged, we asked for a water and they bought a lemonade and they charged us for that. Also if you leave ANY food on your plate they will charge you £5 waste which when you have children they will leave some food. I would never return to this establishment, the food was extremely poor, the owner was very rude and the whole experience was not at all what i expected. Cheap food for what is quite an expensive experience. It didn't help that as soon as you put your cutlery down they wanted to get you out asap, this was even before we had even contemplated a desert.

Do not be put off by the stairs. Once you are in the restaurant the food was wonderful. The starter buffet selection was the best we have experienced and it even included peking duck. The main courses were cooked to perfection. The choice of deserts was amazing even an ice cream machine was available. The staff were very polite and were continually checking the buffet to make sure everything was fresh. We would definitely return on our next visit to llandudno.

DISGUSTING FOOD. staff very friendly. but can not advertise this as an all you can eat with 8 dishes in a buffet style. food was horrid. chicken was like rubber and melted in your mouth. place seems very dodgy. have to pay £5 extra on top of the £21 if you leave any food cant help but have food wastage when food that bad. the salt and pepper cocktail sausages were nice tho.

Disgusting food! Advertised as an all you can eat Chinese However, an option between 8 starters and deserts is not an all you can eat Chinese!! No chicken fried rice on the menu therefore chose the egg fried rice!! Barely fried and had huge yellow chunks of eggs in there!! The chicken was horrific!! Tastes as it’s frozen but barely cooked!! No flavour to the chicken, the curry sauce had a nice flavour however wasn’t happy with it overall . I really enjoyed the cocktail sausages😂different to anything I’ve ever tried before but had good flavouring. This would not be accessible for any wheelchair user as you have to go up a flight of stairs!! Heartbreaking to think we’re in 2024 wheelchair users are still discriminated on!! Would have to say that they’re safe from an unpleasant evening though!! Staff was hovering over! Once you took the last bite they were there to collect plates as they wanted you to leave! However they were all very friendly. Portions were tiny, which was good for us as we couldn’t finish it as it was so awful. Would’ve been charged an extra £5 for food wastage, therefore thankful for the tiny portions. £21 for a tiny bowl of rice and a tiny portion of curry is unacceptable. I would not recommend this to anyone. Deserts were good however not enough options for an all you can eat. Had a better meal from McDonald’s down the road, cheeper too.

Perfect for a couples night out! I love Chinese food and wherever I go in the UK I normally get a Chinese, I can honestly say this is the best Chinese I’ve had in my life. The crispy toffee chicken was incredible, the selection of the buffet was perfect. Absolutely sensational all round

Came here after reading reviews which spoke quite highly. We were greeted with a smile, the place was very clean but the food was basic. We paid £45 for two buffets and two beers. The soup was very thick with MSG and so were all the sauces. The noodles were nice. Starter buffet bland and random. The best part of the meal was the desserts. Unfortunately we shall not be returning.

A good buffet! Really good choice of starters plus a complimentary soup! Then you can choose any meal on the menu, more if you have room! Also, a great choice on the sweet table, with an ice cream machine too Not a good location for people with mobility issues, lots of stairs! Staff very friendly A good atmosphere considering our visit was midweek

I'm so glad we found this wonderful little place! It's on the second floor on the main street and my it's delicious. You pay around £16 for unlimited buffet starters, duck pancakes and spring rolls and a wide selection of other Chinese food. Then you can order a main, there's so many options including vegetarian! Each main comes with egg fried rice or noodles or boiled rice. And they are an absolute treat! I loved the food here, I walked out being so full but it was completely worth it. The staff were so lovely and buffet was delightful. If you've got any room left when you've finished, there's a dessert bar with an ice-cream machine, and so many little cakes and macarons and treats that you can try. I honestly couldn't recommend this place more - for the best buffet in Llandudno, head here! 😁

A small restaurant up a stairway so not for anyone with mobility issues. Friendly staff and clean. Buffet is excellent value. Choose from a buffet to start, order main from an extensive menu and then a good variety of desserts. The main I ordered was full of delicious prawns and the vegetables were varied, fresh and beautifully cooked. The portion of prawns was generous. I would give this restaurant a go. The food is very good even if the decor is not opulent. It was quite quiet when we went and it could possibly be a bit cramped if busy.

Enjoyed buffet. Chicken and sweetcorn soup average but followed by the starters from the buffet. I had salt and pepper rib, duck in pancake roll and mushrooms. Main course prawn pickled ginger and pineapple served with soft noodles. I even had room for an ice cream. This is by far the best Chinese buffet l have ever been to because you order your main course from the menu so it's served fresh and piping hot. Recommended.

A unique Chinese buffet (for me). The starters are your buffer and you have a main menu that you can order from as a way to save on wasting food also to add you can as many times you want from the main menu. I got the plain rice (I was not hungry that day) and it was delicious plus I kept snacking on the all you can eat starters displayed out. The desserts are cold, no hot pudding. The service is standard and your empty plate is cleared quite quick. However the restaurant is small and it’s accessible through stairs I didn’t see any lift.

It is an odd place, small, and quite cramped. The starter buffet was quite good plenty of choice only drawback only a small area so big queues formed. The main course you ordered at table, these meals eere quite delicious. Didn't bother with dessert. The restaurant dtaff wer'e amazing so hard working.All in all a great night and fantastic value for money meal I mean £17 for all this knockers get a grip this isn't fine dining, but with a bigger room it could do very well.

After reading other reviews I was sure what to make of this place so we decided to try it. It didn't live up to the 5 stars people have left on here. The place itself is an odd affair, strangely decorated and of a canteen feel about it. The food isn't great, I constantly got a weird stale background taste even with the fried rice. The food wasn't tasty. As mentioned before there's not a vast range of starters. 1 toilet available for all the restaurant! Staff were friendly and helpful. Sadly I won't visit again

Not a great place. The food tasted bland with a strange background taste. There's not a great range of starters. The restaurant is dated and needs revamping. Only one toilet between all the customers. Staff are friendly

Delicious freshly cooked ‘All you can eat Buffet’. The large variety of starters that are replenished regularly are on display so that you can help yourself as often as you want, as are the desserts. Then you order your main courses from the extensive menu...

It's an 'all you can eat' place, so not sure what we expected. The staff were nice people but vaguely incompetent, as if they'd never been in a restaurant before. Keen but apparently untrained. The food was poor quality. Other diners seemed happy enough, though.

Some lovely staff were very patient with me. The food was brilliant, I think the Salt & Pepper Box are great value and there’s a range of variety in there. The BBQ spare ribs are delicious too. Delivery was fast and will definitely come back again when I’m visiting!
