Oriental Buffet Club in Tonbridge and Malling

Ordered through deliveroo and the food never turned up. Called the store an hour after ordering to be told it will take another hour and food was sat waiting for a driver. Shop shut at 10pm so no one to then hand my food over to. Don’t waste your time

Visited with Family a group of 5 - The food was really nice and allot to choose from, the food was replenished regularly and hot. This place has defiantly improved since my last visit and will be visiting again. Staff were friendly and polite and did there best to keep the food topped up. Service was quick and all staff did their best. The only thing I would say is we saw allot of negative reviews and comments prior to visiting and this did put us off but I am glad that we did go. Will be visiting again.

Good, but not as good as expected. Staff lovely :-) food lovely :-) , but some dishes were empty or very low when we visited. The staff were working very hard and we could see more food being brought out. Sesame Prawn Toast and Satay Sauce was LOVELY. We will definitely visit again, would love to come and try dinner buffet. If the management would consider a few small inexpensive improvements to this business it'd be the 'Place to go in Tonbridge'. Thankyou. :-)

I came here last night as never been before and it’s local good location on the high street first thing I noticed when we sat down the place to me hasn’t got a atmosphere staff not overly chatty on to food went for the chicken and sweetcorn soup had before at other places this time was very watery not a lot of taste to it then moved on to main sweet and sour chicken sauce again very thin and watery the trays that the food is in the lids don’t fit the tongs so there is a big gap which means air can get in and cool the food they wasn’t busy just after 5 last night when I spoke to the waiter about the food and the sauces he wasn’t bothered by my comments at all I normally go to buffet time in Eastbourne which is bigger allways busy shame I won’t be back to Tonbridge again for food again need to improve on food I just write how it was on my visit on the day also soft drinks are extra and not included in the price £19.95 evenings weekends love mr cheeky in Kent

Its good to experience an asian buffet with affordable price. Limited items with unlimited time

Ordered delivery have found what I believe to be squid in my vegetable noodles no idea why it would end up in there as isn't even squid noodles available on the menu so feel it's been deliberately placed in there could be very dangerous if you have allergy,I am vegetarian and cannot eat sea food for religious reasons aswell so am very disappointed and has effected my wellbeing unfortunately won't be ordering from here again that is a shame as some of the other food is good

Great food, waiters are keen. Nice atmosphere.

Beef curry was watered down and had no taste same for the other curry came cold prawns toast only had the seeds on it so just fried bread had no taste of prawn what’s so ever will not order from them again all went in the bin 40 pounds of food

Absolutely awful! Place is in desperate need of an update and a deep clean. Could not believe we saw one of the staff swatting flies directly over the buffet. Could not wait to get out

We really enjoyed it! Lovely food, cheap beer and the staff were really kind. Good mix of food, the broccoli was to die for!

Usually great disappointed today curry was inedible all meat was just gristle

you sent mr special fried rice rather than special fried noodles which I ordered

I love this place nice food and music 🎶 i really enjoyed my last visit 😊

We saw poor reviews and nearly cancelled but we’re really glad we didn’t! A really lovely place with great service and amazing food! Don’t worry about the bad reviews this place is lovely!

A bad experience, we went at midday and there was probably 10-15 people sat down, the hot buffet trays were empty or barely any food available, we asked a few times if more food was coming out as we were a group of 6 of us , kept being told yes , we got asked what we wanted and one option was chicken wings ,20 minutes later we got handed a bowl with 2 cold wings, food was bland and tasted like it was reheated from the previous day, won’t be returning and the atmosphere was quite dull

Not a great deal of many options, but 95% of the options were quite tasty. That's not just my experience but those of my wife and 2 fussy kids.

Food spilt everywhere everything fallen out bag as bag was ripped from all the jouice from food

Food was terrible. Cheap produce and sub par flavour. Waste of money and terrible take on Chinese.

Today my family went for the dinner. One of the waiter asked my daughter's age and I told she is 9. She is taller than her age and I told again she is 9. When I asked the bill to pay I noticed they add her as a adult without telling us. Normally they charge less for the under10. If they have a doubt about my daughter's age they need to ask proof for her age. We all felt disappointed about them. I arranged my daughter's 9th birthday party in here in January and I have posted it on her Youtube Channel. (Time with Sanuli). https://youtu.be/xdzzxyUaXTE?feature=shared That time I recommend this restaurant to my friends. But Now I feel that they dont respect and trust the customers.

Came with the wife for an evening buffet and noticed that the place was empty with only a couple of tables occupied. The staff aren’t warm or welcoming and just pointed us to our table. There was a fairly decent selection of food available and the quality is generally ok but not amazing. There was a selection of Chinese & Indian cuisine and 3 types of Curries were available. They had a very limited choice of desserts that consisted of a chocolate sponge cake, a banana sponge cake, fruit salad and a few ice creams of various flavours. The restaurant itself appeared clean and tidy. I would say £18.95 per adult is ok, however I wouldn’t rush to go back

Great food and fresh, great value

Came here for lunch with my mother and step-dad a few days ago since we had come one time prior the day before. Was quickly seated and we went straight up to the buffet. Food is overall very nice but isn't restocked very often. The duck is only served after lunchtime and its quite chewy. The dessert is also quite nice as well. The coca-cola isn't just a petty little glass, its an actual pint. I recommend the satays and spring rolls, though its not really proper chicken. Seats are VERY soft and you sink into them when you sit down, a bit uncomfortable. We were sat down and a customer clumsily spilt his entire mountain of rice over our table. We asked for our bill and the person we asked totally forgot so we had to go up and pay there instead. Overall nice for a one time stop but we won't be returning soon, if ever.

Ordered a takeaway. Chicken chow mein was memorable by its lack of chicken. Must have been at most a fingers worth in the noodles. Even the vegetables in the sweet and sour was all sauce, very, very little vegetables. I paid just under £30 for two but thought that the food would be good. My mistake

Used to love this restaurant, but it has gone downhill. We went for lunch only to find most dishes were gone! We asked for more, and they reluctantly bought out 1 of the things we asked for. We asked to speak to the manager about the lack of dishes available. He was very rude, he smirked as we explained our disappointment. We will not be visiting again.

Just gave food, food was cold and special fried rice just clumpy rice with few bits of meat chicken balls cold curry just watery

Excellent buffet. Kind and friendly staff :)

The noodels with chicken, prawn, beef and pork. Missing beef and pork, had only 2 prawns and few piece chicken missing some sause also.

If you're ever debating whether to hug your sofa or hit the town for some grub, let the Oriental buffet in Tonbridge be your tiebreaker! It’s my go-to spot for when I want a feast that doesn’t break the bank. Imagine an all-you-can-eat Chinese buffet where you can stuff yourself silly with comfort food. Yes, please! And for those nights when you just want to Netflix and chill but still crave something tasty? Their takeaway service is a lifesaver. Pop in, grab a tub, and load it up with your buffet favourites. It’s like having your cake (or in this case, spring rolls) and eating it too. It’s definitely not your posh 5-star eatery, but that’s the charm of it! I’ve trekked across Kent for these flavours since my days living in Tonbridge, and it’s always worth the trip. Clean? Check. No food poisoning? Double check. Friendly staff? Absolutely. This place is a classic – not just a meal but a pilgrimage for every comfort food lover. Oriental Buffet, you had me at "all you you eat”.

Ordered Chinese food the special rice meat was gristly and chewy, the chicken balls looked like they were reheated and burnt the sauce well don't even go there it was to runny and way to sweet

only half order sent some was cold no sauce with any dish very disappointing 😕 definitely not ordering again

Love coming here to eat with my family. Choices can be a little limited during lunch time sessions. My son has an allergy to dairy and I enjoy how each dish has its allergens above it so I can check what's safe for him to eat. I will say the only thing I recon could improving would be deserts as there wasn't much choice and certainly wasn't much my son could eat.

Chios we're cold and chicken tasted funny

No sauce for the sweet and sour

great place to go especially for large groups plenty of choices, four generations of us and it worked out really well

Nice buffet with Indian and oriental dishes. Went for lunch, the selection of items is limited. But, the taste is the right balance, not too spicy and not too mild.

Food was ok but broccoli and gravy had leaked everywhere and the two slices of cake were tiny for the price.

Worst food ever ! Half of the items were missing!

£71 Rip off !! Worst food I’ve ever had in my life! Don’t waste your money. Quantity with no quality! Won’t recommend at all!

Lovely tasty food, always hot, make fresh as soon as low, staff always checking and stirring it, love ut

We dine here regularly with our two girls. The menu is child friendly but has remained the same for a few years, which is fine if you like it, but would be great if it had a makeover. The food quality is very good for a buffet, with a fair mix of dishes for all tastes. The service is above average with my only moan that waiters lean over you and your food to collect finished plates. You have to remember that this is a budget buffet, and you can pay up to double for a similar experience. All in all it is great value for money, and great food.

Used to be a regular. Now find the mumbling staff to be unclear as to what they were trying to say, disability intolerant, rude and engaging in inappropriate conduct (moving a visually impaired customers property to another table without their knowledge or consent leaving that customer trying to locate their bag) whilst rudely shouting at that customer to stop using the buffet as not all the food was out (leaving other customers confused). Would never ever go back

The food was so dry and bad Definitely never going there again

Best ribs in Tonbridge, and it's not even close. Great onion bhaji's (better than most curry houses around). Great curry sauce - and a huge tub of it, too. As long as you pick the right things from this place, you're in for a treat.

All you can eat good food fair price

All good. Staff very nice and helpful Thank you

The Chicken wasn't Cooked? Got food poisoning 🤢🤮

rice tasted very plain but other than that i was good

Excellent service and great food!

Food was 30 minutes late and cold upon arrival.

Buffet, not worth at all. We liked few items, the spicy chicken wings, crispy duck & pancake, chicken satay, plain fried noodles and the beef oriental style curry, dont remember the actual name. Food was really basic. Staffs were nice and helpful. dessert option was rather poor.

Very friendly staff. Good selection of food and reasonable prices. Much better than nearby establishments.

The food is great, I either order or go to the restaurant regularly and everything is great, but it is now the second time that I have received rice when I ordered noodles. Someone is not double checking the orders.

The satay chicken was missing the satay sauce and we were only given 5 pancakes instead of 6. Disappointing

Good much improved from last two visits. Good temperature and plenty there. Lack of atmosphere, but clinical. Dessert choices a bit dismal.

We usually have a great time here, but tonight I pulled a hair out of the chicken .. I showed it to the manager, he just said it was my hair and I was just trying to get a discount. He argued with me so much it upset someone else in the restaurant and he said I was only doing it for a discount as the hair was “dry”. Utter rubbish as I showed him as soon as I found it. It’s usually great there but tonight the service was awful and I will never go back. Awful management and if I could manage to wrap my hair around a chicken stick in such a short time I should be in vegas.

Always good food ,various curry's etc ,good selection

I love the food, atmosphere and music. A lovely place.

My wife loves this place she's been going there for more than 15 years. The buffet price is about £18 for adults, and it's discounted for under 12s. They have a wide range of dishes and puddings, although if you are allergic to something like caffeine, chocolate or others it might not be a good idea to try the puddings as they use one scoop/spatula for all of them. The waiting staff are quite helpful and are always aware of when the table needs tidying. Toilets are okay but not hugely clean.

Not been for a while and has changed in a way that the food is not as good as it was. However staff and service are top notch

Very, very busy on Saturday night.

Spare ribs where nice, chicken satay was nice, noodles where a bit bland but ok. I didn’t have high hopes reading reviews but was defo pleasant enough

The door is open, no any person at the bar or door. The time is 2.40pm and they do not serving us. Absolute non sense

Tried this place with my partner tonight, I’m a very fussy eater so my opinion is not valid at all but my partner is the complete opposite and likes all weird and wonderful things. He was utterly disappointed, there was hardly any meat in any of the dishes and it cost us £55! The drinks were nice, but I was overly baffled about the jelly, being a plain Jane I was quite excited to see jelly but it was hard and tasted disgusting! Re the picture jelly shouldn’t look like this right? Safe to say we will not be returning.

Food really fresh and really enjoyed it, arrived still hot and on time.

Driver was a wonderful, friendly and very polite. Brilliant

The worst sweet and sour I had in my life !!!! I’m guessing the rest of the menu is as bad as mine dish !! DO NOT ORDER ANYTHING FROM THIS RESTAURANT !! So bad !

Food was nice but I ordered at 1837 and it was delivered at 2028. The application was showing an estimated delivery of 1935-1955 at 2010. That is a flawed application....

As the old advert used to say, 'it does exactly what it says on the tin' you're not going to get a la carte cuisine but you will get decent food, and plenty of it. The only thing that lets the place down a bit is the very old decor. I've been a few times over the past 20 years and I don't think it'd been redecorated in that entire time. And the seats are some of the most uncomfortable you can get as they have zero padding. Saying all of that for the price you pay it's worth it

The food is lovely the service is good and the asperthere is good

Went for lunch with my partner and was really looking forward to something different for lunch. The food… well what can I say…. AWFUL, cold and not replenished. There was hardly any options there, wouldn’t class this as a buffet at all. I am also disgusted with the price. First time I have ever left a buffet feeling hungry. DONT WASTE YOUR TIME OR MONEY!!!!

Accommodating and welcoming staff, and good food. Made my 8 year old daughter's birthday that bit better - she and her friends really enjoyed it so thank you!!!

This restaurant has gone down hill, I have visited this place twice over the last couple of months hoping from my previous visit it would be better but no-we won't be going back, the quality of the food has deteriorated and the food containers are not topped up- at least 10 or more containers were mostly empty and no attempt was made to replenish them so I just took what was there-Hobsons choice-don't bother going here

Absolutely Delicious went with 3 Friends to Celebrate their birthdays we have been here before

Food selection was poor. Prawns battered with shell still on. The dishes were not refreshed at all, sauces had a film on top as they were not used in i can not imagine how long. Overpriced for the amount you have to choose from, very disappointed. Would recommend going elsewhere for a chinese.

I had always loved chinese food and buffet always was always been my favourite.Unlimted food for thd price was worth.I would recommend it to try.

It’s a small buffet, some dishes were really nice like the beef in black bean sauce but the other dishes were slightly basic. The sweat and sour chickens chicken pieces were so small it was hard to fish them out of the bowl. The ice cream was not nice at all, it was really tasteless and over frozen. It was an alright place I’d give it a 5/10.

-in response to Lewis Barnes review- I was also at the restaurant last night, the food was great and the staff were lovely. We’ve been here for many years. Watching Lewis and his rowdy family conduct themselves was embarrassing to watch. They were clearly after a free meal. They treated the staff awfully and were so rude. I bet their family dog would’ve behaved better. If they were disappointed, they could’ve handled it much better

This honestly has to be the worst food and meal I’ve ever had in my life!! I recommended it to a few friends as I had been here a year or two ago and it wasn’t too bad, we went for a meal last night and the food was absolutely awful! I complained about the food and was laughed at and ignored by the staff… our drinks were flat and were replaced by something completely different, the chicken balls were raw and doughy. The fosters they serve isn’t even fosters. We sent all our food back. I wouldn’t even give it to my dog. We was then given the bill of £108!?! I refused to pay then had my phone taken by the manager himself. Who then called the police. He blocked my fiancé while holding my 8month old son from leaving and he was absolutely screaming by this point. The other staff probably his family were all smug about it. Other customers were leaving and they said they will never be returning as it was appalling food. Horrible atmosphere. The place is covered in damp. I would never return to this place even if someone paid me to do so. The staff are ridiculously rude. They couldn’t give a care in the world for their customers. Save yourself the money and go elsewhere. Despicable service, way overpriced. Atmosphere like a funeral. DO NOT GO HERE. You will regret it!!!! p.s.. the good reviews funnily enough are written by the staff….

Second week. We have had to complain. Last week wrong food. This week, stone cold and hiosin sauce was open all over the bag. We will not be ordering from them again.

My dinner was cold and my friend dinner was cold price was expensive don't care about people with disabilities and chair and table was dirty and not clean

I've tried the ribs in every Chinese in Tonbridge and these are the absolute best - both versions they sell. They are priced perfectly, too.

We stopped for all yoi could eat unfortunetly we could only stay for an hour but that wll do!

When my food arrived it was cold

Fantastic food, attentive staff excellent!

Used this place quite frequently up until the price hike , it used to be 12.95 per head now it’s £20 and still same menu , will not be returning

Extortionate prices . Most adults wouldn’t eat £19.95 worth of Chinese ! Used to be £12.95. This price increase is just greedy. Won’t be eating there again.

Pleasantly surprised. Mix of Indian and Oriental foods very tasty.

Fantastic food, friendly staff.

This is good for a quick bite to eat but sometimes the food is quite dry the staff aren't particularly friendly

Food was ok but they are so so slow in refilling, sat there for 35 mins yesterday waiting for over half of the buffet to be refilled as empty and it just wasn’t coming sadly. Need more cooks or a bigger kitchen, sad as it ruined it and I won’t be back

Usual standard, quick, hot and tasty as always

I'd give a 1 but that sounds like I'm being dramatic and over the top. From my one experience here I'd say it is a terrible establishment. Food trays for buffet were pretty much all empty. And would be refilled very slowly so it was egg fried rice to pad out every plate. The Chicken in the jalfrezi was tough chewing like a Michelin pilot sport 4, yet the chicken in another dish had the same kind of bite in your mouth as quaker oats. The special fried rice I tasted was not too bad but I only got to try it once as it got the last bit and they never bothered to refill it. The beef in the black bean sauce for a first for me. Not because I've not had it before. But because I've never had beef that you could literally chew with just your lips. Good for people that have lost their dentures I'm sure. As an added extra. We think the menu was covered in curry as my dad had gained a curry stain on his shirt before we had even had any food. There's a KFC next door. Trust the colonel over this place.

Friendly, efficient, and very tasty food. Will be back again soon.

Both partner and I have both come down with food poisoning after visiting here last night. Satay chicken was pink and prawns had been battered with their shells still on. All good was dry and had been sat there for what looked like a couple of hours without being changed or refreshed. Fridge for desserts looked tired and unclean. Staff couldn’t have cared less and told us that’s how prawns are always cooked. when reporting earlier today my wife was given the third degree by the person on the phone, wanting to know exactly what table we were at, exactly what time we ate and exactly what it was we ate and basically accusing us of not telling the truth.

Very quick delivery, hot and tasty as always, thank you.

Enjoyable time,nice selection of food.yumyum Will come back.

Cheap buffet with good food. Not too many options but good for the low price.

Foods good. Generally, dishes are topped up frequently. Not the chepaest place to eat - 2 adults, 2 children 1 soft drink each was around £85.

Very terrible , 20 quid a person for dinner not including any drinks ( YES , NO FREE TAP WATER ) on a Sunday , only around 20 dishes that are not bad to eat , but either very sweat, salty , or oily just so you would buy a drink and they get more money , wouldnt recommend this place to anyone , such a ripoff . Also extra comment , when me and my family asked for chinese tea, they gave us an authentic teapot with 4 authentic teacups , but when i looked at the tea bag , i saw chinese words saying " Green tea " , being a hong kong person i feel very offended and discriminated , they should be reported for racism

Awful sweet and sour chicken hong king style. No chicken. Just looked like rice crispies
