Ocean City in Waveney

Great food, really friendly professional team.

beautifully cooked and tasty food as always

this is the second time it's been late

I am writing this review having visited the restaurant on a Saturday night when you would expect it to be very busy. There was an initial wait to be seated of around about 45 minutes, this was more due to lack of staff rather than tables not being available. Once seated the two staff in the restaurant clearly couldn’t cope with the amount of table covers and again we waited a long time for the food order to be taken. Then there was a big wait between each course and for plates to be collected etc. it was clear to everyone that there needed to be more staff on shift (clearly we don’t know what had gone on here, maybe there was staff sickness or something unpredictable) but if this is normal, it simply means poor customer service. In my view the food was ok, the starters were a reasonable quality as was the duck course. The mains were small portions but you could order as much food as you wanted so this wasn’t really a problem. Only that it took a long time to make a reorder. What I would say is that the sweet and sour chicken dish could have had more sauce and the sauce was a little thin but this is me being picky really. Fairly good value. For me if they could just get the staffing right I would happily go back but I wouldn’t go again and put up with the wait and the lack of staff experienced on my first visit as it has put me off in truth.

The Food was burnt an in edible and I’ve had to complain to just eat.

asked for not veg or onions and come full of it. be careful yous who have any allergies

Lovely meal, staff friendly, good price, food very good

Delivered on time even at around 6ish. Food was warm, plentiful and tasty

This food is absolutely delicious going to us these all the time now

First time we’ve had a order from here and we were all amazed by the quality of our food and we will definitely order from here from now on

Food was excellent as always, arrived before the stated time and food was hot aswell.

Fabulous, we had already had takeaways but decided to pop in one Sunday for lunch and we tried the experience menu, every piece was perfect from start to finish, high quality food, love and care, they were so lovely and friendly as well. Parking isn’t great to would park over the road and walk over but perfect takeaway and restaurant. What I love was this wasn’t food on a hot plate like some buffets it’s made to order and worth the money. We went at 4pm on a Sunday so was lovely and quiet but ambiance was still there.

Second time of using this take away in my opinion best in area food is gorgeous still really hot when delivered same delivery driver as last time top bloke highly recommend you won't be disappointed.

The rice dishes were large, the other dishes I had were rather small. Ordered BBQ chicken wings and 4 wings came out only one and a half of them were coated in BBQ sauce. Could have done with more sauce on the Kung po pork too as when combining with rice it ended up being very dry. Service was incredibly quick. Food was on the table less than 4 mins from ordering...

Brilliant quality! has been every time since I started ordering from them earlier this year, it may be slightly more expensive than some others but most definitely worth the small difference in price per dish.

excellent food and service. was fairly quiet when we went but was a Sunday evening. The tasting experience menu is a solid concept and I like the no waste formula.

Lovely restaurant, with a great menu and really tasty food. Will definitely be back.

Excellent Chinese. Best I’ve had in Lowestoft. Beef and duck were cooked perfectly and the chow mein was excellent. Not greasy at all. Will def be ordering again

Great piping hot great tasting. meat was so tender love it lots thank you

noodles was amazing.. food was enjoyed by all

Food was good would order again!

Lovely food, really hot and so much flavour. Definitely my favourite takeaway!

Would gladly recommend. Thank you.

lovely food, delivered in the time expected, and delivered hot. Can highly recommend. 👍

Awful meal . Waste of £21 each !

Fantastic food as always not had a bad meal yet

Absolutely delicious food and the service was excellent. A lovely selection of starters, followed by crispy duck pancakes and large range of main dishes. Every dish was hot, fresh and tasty. The best Chinese in the area by far.

Chinese, at its finest. Thanks.

Nice Chinese restaurant, food was nice also and staff pleasant

Not as hot this time. And not very much meat 2 king prawns

Got take away, lovely food, good portions..

Chicken was very dry and hard to chew and the chips we very soggy

Brilliant lovely fresh and very hot nice to see a Restaurant that serves nice hot fresh tasty food Thank you

Excellent food and service. Thank you.

Fast delivery and quality food will be ordering again 🙏

Wrong item sent and took 20 mins to send what id ordered. Wont order here again. The chicken balls were mostly soggy and tepid

Such a lovely clean Chinese restaurant. Food is excellent and as much as you want off their all you can eat menu. Waiter service great and they are all friendly.

Absolutely perfect! Tasty and on time, thank you! :)

Our second time there at Sunday Lunchtime. If possible it was even BETTER than our first visit & that was bloody lovely. The Starters are amazing. The Aromatic Duck 2nd Starter, delicious & the mains of Pork & Spring Onion & Ginger (I asked for extra Ginger & got it) Egg Fried Rice YUM. Crispy Beef with Soft Fried Noodles for my Husband FAULTLESS

Food was tasty and no complaints from me

Delicious starters and mains, and plenty of it, maybe would like a bit more choice for mains in All you can Eat menu….but nitpicking at this price……only negative was service was efficient and quick but lacked interaction and maybe could have been friendlier…..recommended.

We ordered can of coke unfortunately we didn’t receive it

Food was incredibly bland especially for a meal that was supposed to be spicy, also not enough sauce, really not good

We dined in and everything was fantastic! There is a limited/set menu for the 'buffet' but there's a fair variety - and I feel like the smaller menu helps to force you to branch out a little more. Rather than get up and get your own, staff will frequently check in with your table and you order through them for it to be brought to you. All the staff we met were really polite and extremely attentive, we never had to wait for service and food arrived very quickly. The portions are 'small' but reasonable considering the taste testing and sharing theme - and there's no harm in ordering multiple of the same thing, as we did since we liked some of them so much! We all left full and happy and would gladly come back in the future, or at least order takeaway :) Chicken wings were superb, as was the szechuan chicken and lemon chicken - though there wasn't a single thing we disliked, everything was great! Everything was clean and tidy, including toilets which were spotless. 10/10

Brilliant food- great delivery time! Lush

This is our first time eating at this restaurant and we will never use them again. The king po chicken was lots of batter and tiny piece of chicken inside and very soggy and partially cooked. The chicken balls again were mainly batter with a small slice of chicken inside with uncooked batter in the middle. We could go on but suffice to say all food with exeption of the crispy duck with pancakes was of a very low standard, with poor quality ingredients which left me and my wife feeling ill shortly after eating.

Had the buffet, limited menu but tasty food and service good

Menu has reduced at least twice since opening. No longer caters for groups with diverse taste in food. The starter is practically all chicken now unless you request different (and pay extra!) Rectangle tables making it difficult for groups 5+ to converse over their meal. Food quality isn't nothing to shout about but not terrible. Friendly staff and a very clean environment, including the toilets.

Staff not welcoming, seem to be short staffed. Had to wait despite tables being vacant. They didn't want to give a table of 4 to a couple despite other couples given a larger table.

I would sooner eat dog dirt than order from here again. Satay Chicken had no char and was made with reformed chicken combined with a tiny drizzle of sauce and was not edible. Chips were at room temperature at best. Save your money and go elsewhere!

The improved Chinese food seems to suit the tastes of foreigners. Although the portions are a little small, the taste is quite good. The Sichuan tofu was okay, very much like home-style crispy tofu. There is also Sweet and Sour Chicken, which tastes a bit like General Tso's Chicken and may be more friendly to people studying in the United States. The service is in place and the experience is good.

the beef was very tough and chewy had to keep spitting out so wasted

Great food that keeps coming as long as you keep eating

Delicious food again. Best tasting BBQ ribs in Lowestoft pay a little more but really worth it.

Really nice food and great service well done.

Excellent food as always, we try to dine here at least once a month, sometimes twice. Staff are friendly and welcoming.

very poor quality. for £50 it was very small amount, more calories in my sofa cushion. sad face

Absolutely wonderful food - I had forgotten Chinese could be so good! I always think the test of a good Asian chef is how well the rice is cooked - and the egg fried rice was clean fresh and aromatic. Delicious.

We ordered from this Chinese last week and it was okay so we ordered again this week and it wasn’t until we had it delivered that we realised that every single item on our order had gone up in price by at least 30p per dish but the some increases of up to 60p this is absolutely unnecessary in one week. The food is okay but nothing special, certainly not worth the prices. Chinese is becoming fast unaffordable at the moment

This is such a lovely place to experience all sorts of Asian food. Its always good service and the food is of the highest quality. We love the All You Can Eat menu. We try something new every visit, such is the variety of dishes.

chicken was over cooked for me and lemon sauce didn't taste like lemon was a bit to runny ...

The chicken balls had been cut in half before cooking.... not great, £8.50 for effectively 6 chicken balls. Rest was nice.

Had Chinese from here a few times and always thought it was lovely. However got it this evening and not impressed with it. Chicken balls were small compared to usual and seem to get less than usual also. Chips were a bit under cooked. Duck in plum sauce was bland and didn’t taste of anything really. Pork in chow mein was over cooked. Bit rubbish for 40 quid!

Best Chinese we’ve had for a while!

food arrived earlier than stated which was great

Was excited to see a new option for a Chinese on just eat. Food wasn’t bad, but not amazing either. personally (and this is probably more due to my own preference than restaurant performance) I don’t think they crack the top 3 in Lowestoft

Banging nice fresh and hot when arrived

Ordered from heare tonight for the first time and omg the food was hot it was early and the food is so good it's the best one we have Ordered from so far we will definitely be ordering again ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ all round

Very disappointed. Definitely not worth the money we paid. Very small portions of food. Greasy and overcooked. 2 options for drink sizes, which were not offered. We were just instantly given pints. At £3.20 for a coke it is a joke. Definitely will not be going back there. Atmosphere was horrible as well.

Some old work mates meet up for a meal and a chat. Food was very quick and tastie, no pressure to have the next course . Really great all round evening.

Lovely decor. But the harsh white lighting is quite off putting. Also the same song on repeat for 2hrs???? A bit of variety would go a long way x

Great food, good service and reasonably priced.

Yet another fantastic evening! The food is amazing. The only downside was we all ate far too much!!!

Have eaten in on several occasions and always enjoyed it. Had my first delivery today. Really quick service. Friendly driver. Food still piping hot when it arrived. Food tasted good as always.

Absolutely delicious will definitely be ordering again A++++

I'd rather a buffet where you can see what you order rather than pick off a menu

I honestly could not find anything wrong with this restaurant even if I was looking for it. The Food? To die for The Staff? Friendly, welcoming and efficient Hygiene? 10/10 Highly recommend to anyone who wants perfect quality Chinese food at reasonable prices. As a side note the lemon chicken, chicken satay skewers and egg fried rice are a must.

Personally felt like I was being watched constantly and mine and my partners conversations were being listened to. Food wasn't good quality for 40 pounds worth and the food is so salty you need 2+drinks but at £3 pound for a pint that's gone after the first starter it isn't worth it. We will not be returning.

Felt like I cheated on my usual Chinese takeaway place but was well worth it, very tasty very hot on delivery and was the right amount will definitely be using this Chinese takeaway from now on

Food was quite disappointing. Starters were ok but everything is fried so a bit greasy. Mains weren't very nice. Crispy honey beef was like bland bits of incinerated batter with no beef in the middle and a bit of a stale taste. Lemon chicken was unpleasant. We ate very little from the mains, definitely didn't get our money's worth but we're apprehensive about ordering more when we had left some of the first dishes because they weren't nice, due to their rule of paying for food you don't eat. Good point is the service was pretty quick, food came out really quickly after ordering. I wouldn't return and wouldn't recommend.

We were part of a group of 15 friends celebrating a special birthday great food and service.

Very enjoyable meal for two here. Food was not greasy and very well presented. It was nice to see the good format adopted by the venue to save food wastage. You have your table for 2hrs and can eat as much choice off the appetiser menu as long as you don't leave waste else you have to then move onto the main. Such a better way than a self service buffet and all the food is served quickly and fresh from the pan. Nice piping hot food and a very enjoyable experience. This food is on par with some I have good dishes i have had in Chinatown London. Clearly got some good chefs!

Good food and excellent service, but needs a bigger menu 😋

Food was amazing, service very good, atmosphere was a little quiet

Building a bit clinical, not much character, but the food was excellent. Will definitely go again.

Absolutely love it here! Went randomly, went for my 50th, went randomly and went again for my daughter's 21st! Excellent food, served with friendliness, nice surroundings and good value

Delicious food, the starters were so good! Excellent & fast service, lovely restaurant, very clean, clean toilets, parking outside, friendly staff, would definitely recommend. We ate in on a weekend for the all you can eat for £20pp.

This is a very good, tasty Chinese. Service was good, price was good and atmosphere good.

Great restaurant it's a great place for good Chinese food would highly recommend

Nice place, nice food, nice staff. Great spot in Lowe.

We went on a Saturday night. All dishes we had were really nice. Service was fast and staff were very helpful. Clean toilets. Would visit again. Thank you.

Not a good experience and food was very bland.

Eaten at this restaurant tonight, delicious food, male staff could be more friendly. Just checked reviews and noticed people quoting 30%off their Bill?

Fantastic Chinese restaurant. Has a takeaway option. The food was excellent have been a number of times will continue to go back.

Quickly becoming the best Chinese restaurant in Lowestoft, mainly because the service is also quick. The menu is skimmed down compared to your usual take away but this makes choosing all the easier. The arrangement is all you can eat with set pricing depending on the day of week. You think you're going to try everything on the menu, but you won't, unless you're a pig. They have a waste policy where they won't serve you another dish if you have left much of the previous dish. Portions are relatively small but, in my opinion, this means you give yourself more chance to try more dishes. I like this place as it's quick, simple and the food is tasty.

Food was excellent but quite expensive for the area

Quick wasy Chinese food taste good an all u can eat 😋

Squeezed us in at last minute. Good portions and friendly

Food fresh cooked to order, great quality
