Good food, good variety, plenty of seating!

Food is nice on the whole. Avoid the curries though as some of them are under heated or frozen in parts and will give you food poisoning. I still go there i just above those dishes. Can be very busy and as a result diet but they do their best to keep ontop of it

We had booked a table for over 20 people for a Christmas meal. The table wasn't ready and the owner said we can't move the table around because the area that they gave us is for 35people and we have only 26 people in🤦‍♀️ we tried to explain that is Christmas meal and we would like to seat all together as that opportunity once a year to seat together and enjoy, he still refused and we sat in 5 different tables 🤦‍♀️ Not best customer service especially around the Christmas. We wasted 20min for tablets and then we were been told to "do whatever we want" he turned round and walked away. No help to enjoy our Christmas meal. Our Christmas spirit was ruined. More care about money than helping customers to celebrate Christmas.

It's getting better n better everytime I go, great selection of dishes, only negative thing is I try not to let my kids try the desserts because they have some sort of nuts in some of the desserts (cakes) n the customers use the nuts utensils to pick up the others so if u av kids who's got any allergies please be mindful. But overall I recommend recommend 👌 😋 😉

I recently visited this Hong food buffet and it was an extremely disappointing experience. The food was bland and overcooked, with several items either too greasy or dried out. The staff was unhelpful and seemed disinterested in making sure we had a good experience. To make matters worse, the place was not clean—tables were sticky, and the floors were covered in food scraps.

Great food went for date night and definitely had our moneys worth. Brilliant place can't wait to go again

It's very expensive to go there for a dinner or during the weekend. They have the same food choices for ages now and the desserts are not good. If it was more affordable I think people would be able to visit more often. Even if it meant reducing the desserts and sushi, noodle choices that do not seem to be chosen as much.

Wasn’t good. The chicken had this weird, slimy texture and tasted awful—honestly, it was disgusting. I went here on a first date, and we both agreed we wouldn’t come back. The only thing I kind of liked was the vegetable dish, and that’s surprising because I’m a huge meat lover. To top it off, I got really sick after eating here. I can’t say for sure it was because of the food, but I was stuck in bed for three days, which didn’t help the experience.

The food was very tasty and hot it was amazing the first impression was a very good and I will go again I wish that was my restaurant to eat every day from there Well done to the people making the food all of them❤️❤️👍🏻

Wide selection of meals at this buffet restaurant, BOGOF offers throughout the year when dining time is limited to 1.5 hours.

Visited the restaurant as a party of 9 lunch time today. Everything was excellent. Good choice of food and excellent service clearing plates and keeping buffet clean. Would recommend the Kong.

Food is fine. Layout is okay. They do rush you near the end of a sitting so allow yourself plenty of time. No specific parking so will have to use one of the town centre car parks

Was there last night a family of 4 but they made me pay 11 pound for a child who is 3 but on their menu it's states 3year to pay 3 pound she did even eat only drink she had

I've been here a few times and everytime I go the food is cooked really nicely and doesn't have that plastic taste that you might find in other buffets. They've got a nice selection of food from India style to Chinese or mandarin? I love their black pepper sauce in beef highly recommend that to anyone. Drinks are refillable which is a plus and they've got a alright selection of dessert (not the biggest fun of sweets stuff personally)

Had our Xmas party there last night. Great range of food and it was delicious! My personal favourite was the Mongolian lamb. I don't even live in Luton but I'd definitely come here again. Soft drinks are included in the price, which I've never encountered at a buffet!

The same us at are table the food was nice and yummy

Noisy and hectic, the toilets were disgustingly dirty but the food was tasty and warm

Great price for what you get, staff are very attentive to your needs. Disappointed that the Birthday offer, was not advertised properly. Asked about it as there for my birthday meal, and was told for December it is only Monday-Thursday for a regular customer.

With so many poor quality buffet locations, it's easy to set your standards low. But this little gem is a real cut above its peers, with great quality food, a real spread of food including sushi, tepanyaki freshly made/ cooked. The staff are helpful and attentive and the atmosphere is absolutely top notch.

Food is OK. Lots of choices and varieties of food, however a lot of meat and seafood dish were undercooked. Went on a Sunday lunch when it opened it was pretty quiet, by the time we leave at 2pm it started to get more busy. The interior is nice and well decorated but the floor is very greasy and slippery by the toilet.

When there are 1+1 offers, families come with babies and strollers which makes other customers feel uncomfortable because there is no space and the children start crying, they are noisy. It is a restaurant not a nursery.

Arrived at 5pm lots of fresh cooked food to choose from, staff where helpful and quick to clear away used plates, glasses and cutlery.

First time being here worn my works do for Xmas as they have raved about it but I was sorely disappointed. Given it was Xmas they could have had music and it was very soulless. Was so looking forward to the duck but it was dry and hard. The rice and noodles were nice as was the sweet and sour chicken. Went for pudding and there wasn’t enough tongs and some customers were touching all the food with their fingers and then leaving it so wasn’t impressed with that. Paid for a £24 bottle of Prosecco cash at the bar for the staff to come and tell me it hadn’t been paid for .. wasn’t impressed … sadly don’t think I’ll be coming again.. might just stick to the Man Ho …

The quality of food is not worth spending money on. It is bland and plain. The staff and manager lack proper customer service etiquette. The place is just not where I will want to take my family to for a nice time together. Hong Buffet is not welcoming of its guests.

Variety of seafood, chicken (nuggets, satay, wings), pizza, noodles, rice. Also Chinese and Indian dishes and variety of sauces to pair with meals. Good selection of desserts including, cakes, 4 flavours of ice cream, chocolate fountain with fruit, marshmallows and sweets. Selection of juice, slushies and sodas on tap. Staff regularly come around to clear tables and check what dishes need to be refilled. Paid £13 for lunch open from 12-3pm (food stops being served 30 minutes prior to end of lunch.

I was in Luton and feeling a bit hungry so I decided to check out the Hong Buffet. The restaurant is on the first floor and there is a staircase or a lift to get to the restaurant. I received a friendly greeting from the lady at reception and she signposted me to another lady who took me to a table. There was plenty of food to choose from including starters with soup. There was also curry, Chinese, Thai and pizza to choose from. There is also teriyaki and sushi that you can have. There are free soft drinks available including post mix drinks and also slushies. There are desserts including ice cream, fruit and a chocolate fountain. Whilst I was there a member of staff was busy clearing tables and wiping them clean and he was doing a good job. I was quite impressed at this slick operation and I will pop back next time I am in Luton.

I went here with my family, and it was AMAZINGGGGEEEEGGEGEG they gave us free chopistciks and don't get me started on the food. the meat was soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo good.

Decent food for this price. Not a huge choice but in my opinion good enough

Very delicious food. A variety of choices. They offer 10% discount for NHS members.

For a buffet experience I was pleasantly surprised with the quality of the food served.

Comfy and nice place for dinner, surely willa come again

Oh my what hong buffet is a great place for a mixer of foods for all but the desserts and sweet station is the best I've sence

Quite dirty not very good quality food it was quite old, for £22 I expected better.

Lovely food, great atmosphere. Real value for money and the choice of buffet is amazing!!

Great venue with lots on offer! A few items a little dry or salty but overall a great selection any many items are delicious! Soft drinks included is brilliant and well recommended

Foods ok nothing special I like that the drinks are included in the price which I think is a fair price. Not a lot to choice from in the Italian area just pizza. Girl clearing the table was take drinks and full plates away when not finished and could clearly see us still sitting there eating and drinking. I don’t recommend using the toilets they are disgusting. It’s very noisy and busy I love that they play music and dance for people’s birthday. But it’s very very loud and goes on for a period of time. Just wouldn’t recommend it as a place to eat and talk as you can’t even hear yourself think. Would I go again? Probably not.

The food was good as usual. Large selection. I come here often and always have a large selection of great shrimps. The rest is delicious too. I recommend.

Value for money every month or two months once they do offer as a buy one get tickets for two members 22pounds , they have more than 50 items atleast u can find 10 worthy food for your taste, try once and only if u go as a two members can get offer tickets they never charge for one member.

Friendly fun, family orientated. Have attended several times. It's even better when they offer 2 for 1

Excellent food and service. A little pricey but still value for money

Worse place to visit .. rude/aggressive staff .. don’t understand disability children treat and speak to them like they are nothing and don’t belong in there establishment.. over priced children age 12 paying 21 pound like adult when they are just children.. dirty cups and cutlery

The food was really good and there was a lot of varieties. However the plates and cups were not as clean and it disgusted me. They need to get new plates and cutlery

It's decent, nothing special. I really wish the place was cleaner though. They need to wash their glasses and cutlery properly. In the picture I've got a whole bunch of starters.

Good was very nice and the staff were very friendly. Atmosphere ok but could be better. I would have given five stars all round but we only went because of the two for price of one offer. The normal price is a bit steep for myself.

I came here today and personally I wouldn't even feed my dogs this poor food terrible place to come not worth the money at all Gordon ramsay would shut it down the sooner it gets shut the better Also you pay first when arriving probably because people would want money back definitely do no recomend this place also had a dirty smell in their

Good selection of things to eat

Lots of food varieties to select from .Good for family outing.

Quick easy and large seating area. It's buffet style so not top tier but great for a family and it's all you can eat. Enjoyable and simple. The downstairs foyer could do with a spruce as it's a bit uncared for and the red rug just needs to be replaced. Staff were helpful and they cleaned regularly.

If you want good hospitality or good service then DO NOT EAT HERE. We came today at 8.15pm as a family to eat this buffet. We have been to many restaurants all over the UK & this is the worst experience we have got!!! The lady at the front said that the buffet gets clean at 9.30pm so take the food before that. We were happy with that but since 8.45pm 3 different workers came to our table to tell us about the same thing which made us think we were not welcome and that they are rushing us to get up and go home. Also around 8.55pm, the staff were picking up the food and cleaning around the buffet counters which is understandable to keep the area clean and hygienic but it’s not professional when customers are there trying to put the food in. - For HALAL customers, the dishes are not labelled correctly and dishes are in different places in the buffet table. We asked one of the workers about some desserts if they were halal or not and she said they are all halal, but another one came to say that these ones are not halal so avoid these ones. As a customer, It is better to avoid than take any risks. Overall food taste was okay but really disappointing with how they treated as customers. - We provided our experience to the store manager to help make experiences for customers more welcoming.

Delicious food choices of Japanese Thai Chinese and Indian food. It is very spacious and nice and clean inside the restaurant. Would go again.

Love this place, if anything there's to much choice, the food is fresh and hot, it's clean and the staff are friendly and it's reasonably priced, you definitely get your moneys worth, can't wait to go back.

Food was amazing very fresh and wide variety. Staff attentive. Love the Lychee slush ❤❤❤ so refreshing

A good selection of dishes. A massive restaurant. If you want to fill an empty belly, this is a place to go for various cuisines.

The selection is very good, so was the taste. Not very busy for a Saturday lunch but price could be the reason. £24 / person in my opinion is a bit more as after all it was a buffet and one can only eat so much. I tried 5-6 meat dishes and liked them all. I would definitely try again in the future.

It was a calm and fun experience. Enjoyed the variety of food.

A very spacious buffet with many selections of food, fruits, desserts, what can I say a lot of selections and the juices and coffees/teas are included in the price.

Great food options. Constantly fresh food and provides unlimited fruit juices and sodas. Fruits platter for those who want healthy vitamins. Ice cream, cakes, and candies to satify your sugar cravings. Perfect for family and friends dining.

Great food and customer service

Good food for the price will definitely visit again when I'm in the area

I’m going there very often with my boy. It’s ok, specially for Luton.

Nicely decorated ,we had what they called shreaded duck ,but it was more like shreaded pork which is often substituted to keep down costs

I personally don't like the food as it's way more oily for me. But I don't want to give a bad score as a lot of people love this food !

It's OK. Some reason the food doesn't taste fresh and it's like leftover food that's been cooked again for another dish.

Great food, large selection, we were there on Sunday, price: £15 per person, children: £7.50 20/10/2018 Updated now per person £22 for the weekend of 10/05/2024

So much choice and very high quality. Pleasant and friendly staff. Leave room for dessert

Very nice restaurant buffet 😋 👌

I went for the lunch buffet for £13, great value, lots of food to choose from. I like the most is beef are cooked in many waysm especially the Chinese style, it's very delicious, and the desserts, especially the many kind of fruits, have a lot to choose from. The service was very good. I definitely have to go back.

Nice place to have family and friends especially for a free meal when it's your birthday! Could do more and the front ground floor. Food looks good but family felt a lot of salt was added for a lot of flood. They could but a strap paper for entry and like a golden one for birthday single person like the dragon! Toilet needed maintenance too.

You can't dislike this place, everything is 10 over 10. Better than most Chinese restaurants I've been in the UK.

Was there twice and was not disappointed. Great food variety and interior designs quite traditional 👌

Lovely variety of food for all pallets. From Chinese and Indian to sushi, steaks, and pizzas this restaurant has it all. And after all the savory food there is a great selection of puddings of fruit, cakes, sweets, ice cream, and a chocolate fountain. Did I mention that drinks are included in the price!! I fell this place has an endless seating area too! I will be back.

Beautiful restaurant, and the food is delightful

My husband took me to Hong Buffet for my birthday dinner. The receptionist was very friendly. We paid £22 each, were walked and shown to our table. They have a serene environment, great ambience and the food tasted so nice. There is a stairway option or you could use the lift. It is a buffet so you can eat all you want but cannot take away. We had special fried rice, black chili pepper beef, crispy chicken, honey-dipped chicken, fried shrimps, potato wedges, sauced duck, prawns, baas fish. They were all very tasty and it came with drinks. We had tropical, watermelon juice and had a taste of the slushi. The staff gave me a special birthday song accompanied with a nice chocolate cake. I enjoyed my evening and it was my best birthday experience. Thank you Hong Buffet for making my birthday a great one. I will definitely revisit with my friends. I highly recommend Hong Buffet.

The sitting arrangement does not promote exclusivity and intimacy needed for such settings. Appears short-staffed cos you have same staff cleaning tables, mopping the floor and washing dishes. Guess that's how they function in the UK, but not healthy and could pass as modern slavery.

Always lots of delicious food😋 And polite staff

An all you can eat buffet with a huge choice of food. Chinese, Indian and Italian food all covered. Soft drinks included within the price, can also request hot drinks like tea and coffee. Took my family, wife ate for free as it was her birthday. the dinner menu is a bigger selection than the lunch menu but this is reflected in the price. food of very good quality but not a fan of the grill as lamb was too chewy to eat comfortably. my favourite dish was chicken Tikka masala. my children loved the chocolate fountain. my wife preferred the seafood. appears to have something for everyone

It wa damaging but someone caught Ed on the floor we get to serve ourselves

The food is great quality. I went for the dinner which was about 20ish per person I loved the variety and could barely finish my meals so I paced myself. There are free soft drinks available which is really good. Saves you having to pay for drinks while eating. I was visiting Luton for the day but I will go back again as I enjoyed the food.

Lovely designed restaurant. Very open making it easy to get around even when busy. Food is nice, big selection, better in the evenings for sure. Worth the price too as pudding and drinks are included. I've been a few times now and it won't be the last.

Delicious and fresh food, friendly stuff

Good, some food are not as fresh as should be, cheap ingridience in some dishes.

Came here the other day for family meal, and me and another family member ended up being ill later that evening afterwards. Its usually pretty good. 2nd time it's happened now

It is worth for money. Also, include some drinks for lunch. Amazing place.

Seated quickly, good food was all hot, soft drinks were help yourself and plentiful

What happened to this place? This was the only good place in the town, but it looks like it's also going down. I have been here many times but this was the last time. Went their for lunch at 1.30. Upon arrival, I was told the buffet would close at 2.40. Okay, fair enough. Started to eat. At 2.00 the staff started to announce that the lunch would be closed in half an hour. This mad eme a bit angry. Still, it's fine. It makes sense. At 1.30 some of the dishes were emplty but by 2.00 almost all dieshes got empty. When I went to dessert corner around 2.15, they were already cleaning up the chocolate fountain. The server committed that noodles would be served again, but those noodles never came. As I was leaving at 2.40, I couldn't understand why they blocked the stairs. I just went close to the sign, and the cleaner guy angrily scolded me and my guests that we can't see the sign he is cleaning. I came home with frustration as my experience has never been so bad at Hong Buffet. Rude staff, empty dishes, and closing buffet earlier than given time. If you don't want to be scolded and come home empty stomach, then don't go to Hong Buffet. No wonder it's not as busy as it used to be.

This is the ONLY thing worth coming to Luton for! The buffet is huge and has ample space to dine. Surprisingly like reasonable for the food and drinks are included!! If they keep the service, price and food the same, this place will have a long life and repeated business! There is so much choice even for lunch and dinner has even more.

All you can eat buffet in the middle of Luton. I could call it Chinese but its size means it includes a wide selection to suit most tastes including curry, sushi, cake, ice cream and soft drinks. Try it, especially if you are really hungry!

1st time there, but it will be a regular visit now!! Loved it

Decent portion sizes. Excellent service & staff.

Great selection of food and tepanyaki is cooked on point. Friendly staff and good atmosphere. Definitely recommend

Amazing food at an amazing price. £13 WOW

Amazing place to eat with loved ones

We went to Hongs a few Months ago and our experience was the worst we ever had. We used to go at least 2 to 3 times a year, not anymore. We went around 2pm. They charged us but noticed that half the food was missing. We continued getting the food that was left available. Around 2.45pm a waiter came to us while we just started eating our dessert and told us they were due to close and we had to start leaving. I was not happy as not only was there half the food available, but then get told to leave whilst eating our desert. We refused to go as we had already paid for the buffet. A short Asian guy came over and ordered us to start leaving. My wife decided to put the remaining dessert in a napkin and put in her bag. The Asian guy told we can not take food home. I angrily asked, so you rather throw the food away than let the customer take it to which he answered YES. I was appalled. My refused to take the food out and the Asian guy tried to pull the bag from my wife's hands and pulled her hand at the same time. I angrily said, don't ever touch my wife. We gave the food back but that was out of order. This guy has no public experience and should never be allowed to be near the public. He was quite happy to manhandle a lady. I am only writing this review because I read someone asked about HONGS BUFFET. Well be very prepared to be manhandled by a shot Asian guy. This is poor management. Once the FOOD is in a Customers plate, they should have the right to be able to take it home if they are asked to leave because they are closing. I am not saying all staff are bad but clearly HONGS have their priorities wrong. THEY ONLY WANT YOUR MONEY. DON'T CARE ABOUT YOUR SERVICE. BEWARE CUSTOMERS.

Bit expensive 4 evening. More selection at lunch. I guess the high price cus of the grill stuff.. but defo over priced 4 evening £21

Made reservation online, we came and been told that the price has gone up due to mother's day. Asked for manager and he said that they do this every year. We've shown that it doesn't say anywhere on their website that the price have increased for mothers day. After good 20mins of explaining to him that we booked online at a lower price and him telling us that we should of called to check it ( even though website should be updated and why would we call in if we could clearly see prices on the site ) Manager said that IT side must of not updated it and that he can't do anything about it. We were not at fault as we went with what we could see on their website ( showed him as a proof that it doesn't state anywhere that there's price increase) we still had to pay over extra £30 to get in We'll be contacting head office as we got customer rights to get the goods at the price shown. There's a time limit now and less choices of foods.

Me and my family attended this Restaurant on Sunday, the 3rd of March 2024. We had a lovely time. The food and the quantity of food was excellent The staff very accommodating. We did not feel rushed in any way shape or form. I highly recommend this establishment, and I look forward to visiting here again soon.
