Food was lovely plenty of choice even for the fussy eaters. Soup was hiding in the back corner so a few people missed it but will know for next time. Staff quick to clear the dishes between courses. Might be a little cramped if they busy but there were people behind us but didn't get in each others way

We used to go regularly to Jimmy's. But since it changed hands, we have made a few sporadic visits and every time... disappointed. Will be last visit unfortunately. The front of house staff, all young girls, possibly first job, seem lovely but nervous. Food. The selection is very limited, handwritten signs that are difficult to read. No information on the meals. It's not hot unless it's just come out from the kitchen to replenish the buffet. Our bottomless drinks did get refilled and used plates taken away quite quickly. Floor slippy in areas, not wet but slippy. Did not use the restrooms. Sad to leave this honest review as it was always a favourite when in Elgin.

We came here after reading some of the reviews on Google. Please don't be lead in by them. The price is £19 a head for the meals same as other larger buffets and you have less than half the selection, Food Well the food was bellow avrage in taste I fact I HD some of the fried dishes which tasted like they had been fried in last week's oil. My dad had the beef and black bean he was less than impressed in that my mum had some fried things and had same view as me. The staff were nice tho. The pudding The chocolate fountain is watered down just like the e drinks which tasted awful. The fountain chocolate was running off the marshmallows and wouldn't go hard even after 15mins of sitting on the plate. In all it's no where close t OK being worth £19 per head the drink prices are through the roof too for what you get which trust me tasted awful. Highly not recommended.

Wish I could leave a no star review. I never received my order. I have a ring door bell and no footage of anyone walking up my path. Usually a regular customer but will not be ordering from here again. Was contacted by a mobile number stating my order was on my doorstep, but it wasn't. They stated they would drive back past and check and I didn't hear anything else. I phoned back an hour after it was supposed to of been delivered and was rudely spoke to when I informed him of my order never being delivered to my address. Poor customer service.

I’ve been to the restaurant a few times before and so expected the quality of the food I had there. This is not it. The curry sauce is the worst I have EVER tasted. What was that??? Poured all over most of my pork fried rice so that went in the bin. The little I had left in the tub was pretty tasteless. Fatty pork. Chicken fried rice good. Curry samosas lovely. Won’t order again.

Mediocre. I was in town for a few hours, so I went along on a Sunday afternoon. I arrived at 4.20pm as the website advised that it was open all afternoon. It isn't - so I had to kill time until 5pm. Confusingly, a member of staff told me that they were unable to update their own website to correct the opening hours.... ? Unfortunately, there was no atmosphere at all. It was very quiet with no music. They don't sell any soft drinks in cans or bottles (I was driving) they only offer the poorer quality syrup and soda water altenative, so I declined. The food choice was barely okay for the size of the restaurant and quite a few of the dishes were not hot enough to start with, so went cold before I'd finished what was on the plate. The best bet were the sweeter dishes like the sweet and sour chicken, as the sauce was reasonably hot and held its temperature. But the plates were cold so this further cooled down the food. And bizarrely, there was no boiled rice on offer, THE most staple part of a Chinese food selection. The sweet options were okay, though redeeming the main course offerings only very slightly. It was £20 for the dinner buffet which I believe they charge all day at weekends so not the cheapest, especially at lunchtimes. All in all, an anticlimax. I’ve had much better buffets. At 4.20pm, I should have headed off and gone elsewhere but I suppose you live and learn. I wouldn't go back.

Salt and pepper chicken lacked in salt and pepper taste. Curry sauce was also tasteless. Black bean sauce was more like gravy. Portion’s were very generous just a shame about the lack of taste. Personal preference though i guess.

This place needs to just give up, it's worse now than it ever was! Cheap nasty food that costs you a fortune! The rice was very over cooked and dry with no flavour with some steamed veg mixed in. The ribs were awful just really cheap meat covered in seasoning not even cooked right tough and rubbery. The chips and curry sauce were ok but it's not exactly hard to get that wrong. The chips were cheap rubbish though. I would avoid if I were you. Will not be back again.

Typical all you can eat Chinese with a buffet style counter. Food was of good quality with a wide selection for adults and children. There was pizzas and chip shop food (curry source, battered sausage) which I thought was a nice touch catering for a wider audience. I was impressed with that the restaurant was continually patrolled by a manager/chef who make sure all empty dishes on the servery were replaced and mess was cleared up very promptly. The restaurant was very clean. What I did not like - [1 x star deducted] On arrival was immediately seated and not given a price for the all you can eat. When I asked was told "it depends on how much you eat" that turned out to be wrong when I spoke to the manager, but made me feel very uncomfortable to ask, I did not like that and going to walk out if that was the case. [1 x star deducted] Price of the drinks!!! over £2 for water, over £3 for bottled coke and over £4 for bottled beer. Overall - I would definitely go back, but would take my own water.

Another visit, another faultless service. Been now 3/4 times since it reopened, when we are passing. Staff are amazing, friendly and interact with the kids. Food; okay it is not standard you would get from dedicated Chinese restaurants, however for a buffet where you can pick and choose and eat as much as you can it is good food that fills you up. Kids absolutely love the food. Always cleaning up and wiping things down. The young girls are friendly and extremely efficient and removing used plates and getting replacement juice. Littlest one loves the face that although we are not there most visited customer, one of the guys remembers him and give him a high five every visit. Only recommendation would be that it would be good to see 1 or 2 special dishes and a dessert that changes each week to give something new and variety.

Terrible won't be back First ones there for them opening at supper time so would have expected food to be fresh and hot but far from it, a few items especially the pizza was stone cold. Didn't finish my plate because of this, being 9 months pregnant didn't risk it! No apology from male staff (apart from a lovely young lady) instead he was argumentative and making excuses. No regular temperature probing from staff just mixing it about with a spoon. Fanta was flat, requested a new one and still flat and was clearly watered down looking yet the male staff member continued to be argumentative. Refused to pay understandably, definitely wasn't paying for what they was charging £18.99 pp not including drinks absolute rip off. Stick to your regular Chinese be alot cheaper anyway!

Spent £40 on the worst Chinese I’ve ever had! I ordered chicken curry but instead got beef, the deep fried chicken skewers weren’t even deep fried and tasted like rubber chicken, salt and pepper chips were frozen crinkle cut chips with a little bit of salt and pepper added, also prawn crackers tasted stale and weren’t edible, the overall food was just so poor and would never eat here again.
