This is a fantastic place to eat. The food is excellent, but not a large choice compared to some I have used, yet large enough for us. The place is quite small with few tables so I would advise to book in advance, as it is only open from 18:00 to 21:00. The inside is nicely decorated and gives it a good atmosphere. The service is also good. The cost of the buffet at the time of writing this review is £17:50 and is well worth it, drinks are also a reasonable price. I would definitely recommend this place and will return when I am back in the area.

Great value for.money. limited choice but this just ensured hot, tasty options throughout the meal. The homemade mango sorbet for dessert was a treat. Would go back if in the area again.

My wife and I visited this wonderful restaurant not once but twice on a short break in Bude.It certainly did not disappoint.Service was quick and friendly and the food was outstanding.The crispy duck was the best I have ever tasted,and I have tasted alot.The lady who runs the restaurant is a treasure and never stops smiling.Great value for money and exceptional food.We enjoyed the food so much we returned on our second evening and If it was not for the fact that we were driving to Bodmin to meet with family we would have made it three in a row.We will be back.

Brilliant chinese buffet, the lady was very sweet and we didn't feel rushed at all, the buffet was kept hot and continued to be topped up whilst we were there, not a massive amount of tables as it filled up quite quickly and the food selection wasn't huge but it's a small restaurant, the options that were there were fantastic and still suit someone who's more on the fussy side as i enjoyed a fair few things from the buffet, the food was really tasty and it definitely is all you can eat, at £17.50 each we can't complain it was brilliant and we left extremely full! would definitely recommend it.

We had such a lovely meal here tonight for Father’s Day. Our first visit and was super impressed. A good selection of fresh, hot dishes including duck pancakes, pancake rolls, chicken & sweetcorn soup for starters & mains included a really delicious chicken & mango curry, steamed coconut rice, fresh steamed veg amongst other dishes. All were hot & tasty & plenty of it. As it’s buffet style you help yourself & the lovely lady makes sure that the trays are refilled regularly. The homemade sweet & sour sauce was so good. The room is beautifully decorated making the whole experience well worth the money. Thank you for such a lovely evening. We will definitely be back soon.

What a pleasant surprise to finally visit this buffet now I have eaten Chinese food in China Town London to Birmingham even in Morocco and this place has a selection of tasty dishes that is up there with the best. It was not busy so we gave it a try and very glad we did the service is friendly and polite drink prices not a rip off and quality of food very very good. We will be returning soon.

It makes me laugh when people will queue up at a camper van and pay £10 for 'authentic' Thai food served by 2 white students but will diss this restaurant. If anyone has back packed around S.E Asia and munched at the multitude of night markets.....this is a place for you. Lots of people are completely unaware that the restaurant or takeaway that they frequent is about as Chinese as me, it's Cantonese, specifically tailored for Brits and originally from Hong Kong. Nothing at all to do with mainland China. Chinese people have never heard of Sweet and Sour or Lemon Chicken. If your lucky you may IF you look find Char siu or similar. The lady who cooks this cooks from the heart and you can taste it. You probably won't like all the dishes but ones like chicken and mango curry with coconut rice are superb and a refreshing twist on the kerri tasting Chinese style curry. The roast duck for pancakes is not as fried and dry as you normally get but juicy and nicely seasoned. The chef doesn't follow the cook book and that gets a culinary fist bump from us. Like all eat all you can buffets the first 2 plates taste much nicer than the next 3 but thems the rules......right?

Don’t usually go for Chinese buffet restaurants but we gave this one a try due to the reviews and it was amazing. The lady owner does all the cooking and serving herself and the food was excellent. Plenty of choice and she keeps topping up so everything is fresh. We had a lovely evening with great food. Would recommend.

Having read the reviews of others we were unsure what to expect but were very pleasantly surprised. The owner was very welcoming, even though we had not booked and it was very busy inside, we were offered a table. Drinks were brought to us after a couple minutes of ordering. The food is buffet style but had plenty of options. The crispy duck starter was fantastic- not what you might traditionally expect it was big pieces of duck breast deep fried in a delicious crispy crumb- fantastic taste and value. Any dishes that ran out were quickly replaced. I had lemon posset for dessert- very tasty and refreshing. Left feeling very full, great value at £16 per person. Would definitely go back next time we are in Bude.

This restaurant is so lovely, it’s a real small place, but the food is more traditional Chinese cooking than fast food restaurant style food. It’s run by the one owner and a friend who helps her. It’s immaculately clean and very good value. The food is lovely and piping hot - the poor reviews on here seem to be from people that expect Chinese fast food with loads of variety, but this is a one woman band, and the owner works really hard here. Definitely worth a visit for a good well priced and good value meal. We will be returning. People should really appreciate this place for what it is, and not for what it isn’t. A hidden gem.

Literally the blandest meal we have EVER eaten. No menu, no price for the you to see on display. I could tell from our table by the descriptions on the individual tins how unappetising each dish would be. Talk about a limited selection. The sweetcorn soup was absolute dreadful. One spoonful and I pushed the bowl away. I expected SOME flavour!! Didn’t like the selection on offer for the mains. The duck sauce was out of a jar and was awful. Skin on the duck was fatty and not crispy so I had to dissect the meat which was about 1/3 of useable food. Vowed to never have a Chinese meal again after this experience. Felt sorry for the big table next to us wasting their money. God knows how this restaurant is in the top 5 Chinese restaurants in Bude. Only fair to say our experience to warn others.

Not the best Chinese we have been to, there was around 7/8 options of food. All I ate was chips and spring rolls. My partner are most of the food but said it was bland. Not a lot of option for drinks, cans of pop & cider. Wouldn’t recommend.

So i do not venture out when it comes to food ! Couldnt be bothered to go miles so went to my local !! Lets start Had chicken satay skewers , unfortunately not to my taste as they were fried and not in sauce ! Battered mini spring rolls (banging with bbq sauce ) Chicken in black bean - full of flavour chicken was perfect , nothing worse than hard chicken !! Was so tender and juicy , sauce great consistency plenty of it ! Chicken in satay same as above ! Chips nicely salted Bbq sauce nice and thick lots of flavour ! I would of gave it 5 but unfortunately the skewers werent for me ! Good quality food for a good price !! Young lady server was very friendly too !! I imagine it would be pleasant eating in
