It's ok The staff were ok. Food was ok. There's a big variety when it comes to the food, all sorts to please everyone really.. I'd be careful of cross contamination though if you have any allergies or intolerance. It's a lovely setting but the food itself is mediocre at best. I dont think we would return to be honest but I do see why people go as it's a relaxed atmosphere and good for families.

Website says open until 11. Arrived at 9 and most of food was cleared away. No offer of discount. Felt rushed and staff staring at us to hurry up and leave. Money already taken. Barely any veggie options. Do not arrive later than 6 is my advice

We booked a table for 4 at 19:30 at portsmouth spoon as a birthday meal. On arrival we paid our £83.96 and were sent upstairs. Once seated we toured the food hall and found that all the dishes were empty, we sat expecting to see them refilled soon but they were not. We asked one of the staff who informed us that they would not be refilled as the kitchen was now shut. The manager confirmed that the kitchen shut at 19:15 and no more food was cooked even though the resteraunt was open until 21:15 with around 40 customers still seated. I feel this amounts to theft as there was no hesitation in taking our money when no food was available unless you wanted puddings. The manager seemed confused that we were upset by this and insisted we should accept a voucher for 2 (we had paid for 4) to come back another time and that no refunds would be given. Why he thought we would come back baffles me and as we left he again tried to give us a voucher which consisted of a scrap of torn paper with "voucher for 2 weekday meals" scribbled on it in pencil. I have attempted to contact the e-mail we were given multiple times but no response. The manager was unprofessional and very rude to us and we shall certainly not return here. I have no hesitation in telling anyone I know that this business operates in this manner and wish zero stars could be given as this is the service we received.

Went here with a group of people and a big chunk of the food we had (which varied drastically) was stale or old, at least tastewise. There were a few things that were decent but nothing felt great, even by the standard of buffets. I imagine they may be lacking enough plates because I swear someone tried to take the plates every few minutes..which while common for buffets...it felt a bit invasive. I still appreciate the service they just need to slow down a bit. The atmosphere was horrible honestly, the music was questionable and loud and every so often they had the worst and loudest Happy Birthday song I've ever heard. It was almost like they wanted us to leave as soon as possible. I found that despite having alergens listed, there was no clear indication on whether something was vegetarian or not. Like for example the spring rolls, generally you'd expect to be vegetarian but without any such indication it is a risk that could cause issues to some people. All in all I wouldn't personally recommend the place to anyone, though it is entirely possible they may have had an off day or something.

Everything was great except that the floor manager at that time named "R" was very sarcastic and unwelcoming, ruining my night. He should not be working there if he does not have enough patient to smile and accomodate customers.

Me and my family came tonight…Party of 12. From the get go it was great. Service from all staff was 10/10 and the food equally as good. A little disappointed that the Tepenyaki grill was down but didn’t really matter in the end. I measured my children before I went so wasn’t nothing to quibble about when we got there. I knew what I was paying. Thank you for a great evening

Always come here with my partner, we love the food and think it’s such great value! £21.99 and you can eat as much as you like, you can’t go wrong! And with £3.50 refillable drinks you never go thirsty, the service is amazing with the waiters being very attentive to watch when you have finished to remove the plate, had a little issue with watery sauce but was dealt with straight away and replaced, definitely wouldnt fault the food the service at all! 10/10 place

After hearing great reviews my partner was desperate to try this place so decided to go here this evening for My partners birthday and was severely disappointed. We looked online before we went and saw the prices for children and adults, on arriving we were told our children were too tall for the child's price because clearly once you grow over 150cm you are an adult! Baring in mind they opened at 5 and we got there at half past the food did not taste fresh. The food was luke warm at best, the lasagne had a thick layer of coagulated sauce on top that I originally tasting I thought was mash, my husband tried the lemon chicken on biting in he quickly realised it was very pink in the middle. Not once were we asked if everything was OK or checked in on not even when leaving. Won't be going here again.

Such a great choice of food to always try something different! Also, considering it's a world buffet, I would have expected a bit more variety, sadly there were no baked beans. The waiter always takes your dirty dish and there is always a clean plate to take. Also with the height discount below 150cm, what if a child is really tall? They can't help it.

Daughter is a very fussy eater but loves the thin sizzle steaks from the teppenyaki grill but doesn't eat much else. She had 4 small steaks during our time there but was then told she wasn't allowed any more as you are only supposed to have 1. This is supposed to be an all you can eat buffet and 4 small steaks do not exceed the price paid to dine there. Absolute joke and will take our custom elsewhere in future

Spoons world buffet & bar is just... Alright... We reserved a table and ended up waiting 15 mins before sitting down. It's incredibly noisy and there is a large air con unit humm that can't be drowned out The availability of food is incredible however it all just tastes.. ok... There was nothing that stood out or was amazing the quality of the food was just all a bit bland even tho there was so much variety. Massive signs on the doors saying they would not accept parties of 2, and just seems like a massive money grab for the amount you pay for food and drinks that you can drink and eat in your allotted 1.5 hour time frame Best part of the evening was spending time with the people I went with and the fresh crepe station was nice

Be aware that the kitchen stops cooking at 7 pm; so the buffet is not resupplied after that. I.e. it's there till it's gone! We went at 8pm and most of the popular selections were finished. So over-priced and not good value for after 7pm diners.

Reviews for this were not great, but I gave it a try anyway. This was my first visit and last. It's a cattle shed. Usher everyone in and out again. Tables have an hour and 30 minutes time limit, which is short if with a group. The food was under par and overpriced. Drinks are expensive, and everyone is sat close together, which is ok if you don't mind the table next to you listening to what you say. There is no atmosphere there, and it felt like a cattle shed. If you are not there early or have booked, expect to queue.

This is the worst buffet I have ever had & one of the worst customer service experience. The lady at the reception was so rude I asked her about the parking ticket she said can’t you read all the information is on the ticket. She said you know as I have been there plenty of time. Sorry it’s my first time here. Well the food is cheap and cheerful. Food is all cold, some lukewarm & the food was very dry. I only had one plate of food and a dessert and left within 30 minutes. I’d say 80% of the food is frozen & deep fried. Don’t recommend it, not worth the price & shouldn’t have to tolerate rude behaviour.

Expect nothing less for a buffet style restaurant. Food is hit and miss, so are the staff. Children are priced based on height, which I feel is ridiculous. Probably won't go back now that my ten year old is over height, she just doesn't warrant full price based on appetite.

We went for a friend's birthday. We had to pay on the door before going up to the food hall, the greetings lady was very miserable. It was nicely decorated. The tables are a little too close to eachother for our liking. We had a family to the back and the front of our "party" so no real privacy. There was loads of seats around but we were all sat super close? Doesn't make sense to me. The food selection was great, the food was super yummy and hot! Only downside was the Prawn crackers and poppadoms were very stale. Drinks are reasonably priced also. Staff constantly taking your plates when you'd finished which was nice. Would go again.

Good place to go with friends if you want a cheap meal and need to cater for multiple tastes. Indian, Chinese, pizza, and English food is available as a self-service buffet, and all you can eat for 1.5 hours. The food was a bit hit and miss, some dishes were excellent with others (the rice) were undercooked (crunchy). The drinks are also expensive.

Went on Saturday 29th for son’s birthday. Very disappointing experience for first visit. Had we had been told on entry when we paid there was a very very limited selection of food available due to early closure we would have gone somewhere else. We spoke to the very arrogant manager who showed no sympathy or apology. Our table was booked for 8pm the place closed at 9.30pm for what we were told was for cleaning and they don’t like cooking food and wasting it! No discount or refund given. Fake online advertising only food available were a selection of Chinese, two Indian curries, sushi and a few slices of plain pizza. Desserts closed with a couple plates of desserts. We chose this place so we could have a variety. Where is the advertised Kebab, Carvary, Cantonese. Surely this place should be given a penalty/fine for false advertising.

STAY AWAY OF TEPPANYAKI, due to the fact that the grill cooks forget to clean the surface between orders, all the seafood have a very bitter taste from the burnt left over previous order. Nuddles war extremely bad flavor and two of them very dry. Most of the meat in general was very dry due to overkook or the reheated. Inside was very hot, need better ventilation.

My visit to Spoons was an absolute disaster. They did warn me upon entry, but I had no idea it would be this bad. There was hardly any food left since they weren’t refilling due to low customer turnout. What little was available had turned stale from sitting under high-heat warmer lights for too long. The rice was so dry it was almost like eating uncooked grains, and the naan bread/chicken/chips had transformed into something resembling biscuits! Meanwhile, the chefs were just standing around laughing, probably wondering why we were even there. And yet, they still had the nerve to charge me the full price of £21.00 despite failing to provide what was supposed to be on offer for that money. If you’re planning to go to this place during the week, do yourself a favor and call in advance or have a plan B. What a nightmare! Note: Desserts selection was good and enough available!

Went here on a Saturday afternoon as just passing by. Wouldn't recommend the £22 each price tag as they cannot call it 'World Food' when they only strictly serve Chinese chicken and chips and the odd curry or pizza.. which was all very cold as the lids were kept open. (Not the most hygienic place). Drinks are also not included which we found out once we were in there. Honestly felt like a massive rip off unfortunately. Only go here if you want cold, gone off food... there are much better establishishments in Portsmouth.

We've tried quite a few 'world buffets' and this one is consistently my favourite. There is a great range of foods, lots of prawns & Peking duck on offer, plus steak, scallops, prawns etc cooked to order. There are also lots of desserts available, including crepes cooked to order & a chocolate fountain. Sometimes some of the food items can be a tad greasy but going to a world buffet you are not expecting amazing food, but everything is good. The staff are friendly and clear plates really regularly, so the dining area is quite clean. However it is a bit noisy & I would prefer the tables to be slightly further apart, but I understand that they want to get as many diners as possible seated. A great place to go if lots of your party like different things, our kids love it, especially the sushi.

The food was unfortunately super salty. The family and I went as we enjoy Asian cuisine and had more variety in a buffet than just ordering from a Chinese. But the food was so so salty. We tried most things and just wasn't for us. Near £60 for 3 people just for food and even the bottomless drinks there wasn't much of a choice either.

Totally agree with other reviewers who state it is mainly a Chinese Buffett.There is certainly not enough choice from other countries. The food and service was good but I would hate to be someone from a country that wasn’t oriental because that is the only music that was played in the 90 minutes we were there. Would I go again.? Possibly but it wouldn’t be my first choice. I noticed that the lift wasn’t working. I am disabled but luckily I can walk up stairs . What happens if you are in a wheelchair.

*BE AWARE* I was told to pay full adult price (£18.99) for my 10 year old "child" because she was 3cm taller than 150cm. My daughter is tall for her age but doesn't have a huge appetite, so their excuse that this rule is in place because children over 150cm can consume more food is absolutely ridiculous. How is that even a reason? 🤣 She's not very ambitious with food either, so when we ate at Spoon, she only had 2 plates of chicken nuggets/chips/olives/pickled onions and a couple of desserts. We attended Spoon for a family members birthday, so whilst I was aware that she probably wouldn't eat a lot of the options available, I was definitely NOT aware that I'd have to pay an adult price for that. The staff looked harassed and weren't overly welcoming. One drinks machine wasn't working and the food was largely just Chinese cuisine. Great for fans of Chinese food, but this place definitely doesn't cater for much else. The spinach pasta was so watery, the sushi section only had 2 vegetarian varieties (one being tofu which isn't to everyone's taste), the salad bar looked very sorry for itself 🤣 and they only had options of pepperoni pizza or cheese, but the cheese pizza was inedible. This could be such a great place but it's totally lacking in imagination and variety. Not if you like Chinese food though, there's LOADS of that. Positives: The Chinese vegetables, mushrooms and meat-free noodles were nice. That's all I ate. Definitely wasn't worth £44 though and not a place I would take my family again.

Your typical resort style all you can eat canteen. It’s difficult to call it a restaurant as it doesn’t have the restaurant quiet, relaxed meal atmosphere. Highly recommend that you book in advance. We booked early evening and were lucky because within 30-45 minutes after we arrived, the place was full. Dining time is restricted to 90 minutes but I somehow believe that may not always be enforceable. It’s called a World Buffet but the food available was a large selection of standard Chinese dishes, a few basic Indian dishes and from Italy, pizza and pasta. That’s it. But on the positive side the sushi bar is well served and freshly stocked and all the dishes are replenished as soon as they begin to run low. Unfortunately, I found the rice was dry and under cooked but the lemon chicken was wonderful, along with the seafood options available, as was the mushrooms in black bean sauce. The service was good and as you can imagine due to the high volume of customers there plenty of staff on duty to clear the tables and even discreetly sweep the floor. In summary, it’s a good place to go with the kids/ family members for that quick gobble down Chinese meal.

Fifteen family members didn't book in until late afternoon for a 6pm meal. We had a great welcome, table set for 16, everything explained and off we went to the food. Some very negative reviews had made us anxious , but we found the opposite. Food was great ..no it's not 4 star Michelin!! ... but good variety. Grill chef took great care with scallops and king prawns. Desserts looked good and favourite was crepe with lemon and sugar specially cooked. Used plates were regularly cleared. Great experience.

Enjoyed my first experience at Spoon. There's a huge variety of food to choose from across Asian, Indian, African, European. Good quality ingredients and fresh food. Highly recommended. Excellent value for money!

So many choices! The food is so good and the staff are friendly and helpful. Very disappointed that the dumplings were only available on the weekends. They are literally the best thing there.

The food here is always hot and plentiful. The staff are so efficient, but obviously can get very loud when full of customers

My first time here. Food is very good. Tasty and hot. Not a fan of lots of tables in a big noisy space but for £20 a head you can't moan

Need to update their menu prices online as was £14.99 per person when I booked online and £18.99 tonight when I went at 6pm. The lady on her head phones said it’s up to the customers to update the prices online. Will never go again. Absolute money making company. Wasn’t impressed with the food. Prawns cold. Pasta awful and soggy pizzaz no flavour. Took my boys there for the first time and awful

Don’t agree with the fact I had to pay £10 for my 3 year old (38 months old) who barely ate 1 full plate of food… Food was nice, lots of options. Friendly waiter who gave service with a smile!

Went last night for birthday meal, the man on door staff was extremely rude, would ignore you when talking too or tell you to wait a minute and speak to the people behind in the que. After booking you still need to wait in the que even though you have booked a time. Food was decent - wasn’t anything special. Actual waitresses/waiters were lovely

The welcome we received was really warm, we had never been before it was very well explained how it all works, the food was lovely and the variety really suited my family and the desserts are awesome especially the steamed custard Buns we will certainly be returning 😀

Great variety of dishes and enjoyable atmosphere. It will be ideal place to go with family and friends. The location is convenient as it is right in front the NCP car parking, which is ridiculously immense. However, the only downside will be the NCP parking as 9/10 the paying machine will not be working and the charge is different to the actual notice Board.

Didn't have a great time on my last visit, service was ok the only nice people I found were the ones taking plates, all other staff were either rude or looked at you like you just insulted them. Food was very watery as my partner put it "you can tell the macaroni cheese is a cheap box one that they have added too much water too". A lot of the food was quite bland too. I went around a year ago and it was alright, nothing to write home about but good enough to come back to, unfortunately i wont be coming back now.

The food is always amazing, portioned and priced well and very quick. Nice area to wait in and lovely staff. Could not be happier to have this as my local Chinese restaurant!

Food for two people ordered at 6:55pm was still not delivered by 8:45pm. We had to phone twice to chase the order. The person on the phone just made excuses saying it was being made (at 8.30pm) 20 minutes later we still hadn't received our order. In the end it took 1 hour and 55 minutes. Beware!
