This place is perfect just don't over eat and if you do don't worry the toilets are so clean I am not even joking it smells so good I usually dread public toilets but this one smells like a bit of heaven and the staff is so nice and a chocolate fountain is there with alot of ice cream and good starters and main courses

This restaurant is easily located within the high street of Burton, parking is available just round the corner at the Cooper Square car park, the restaurant is clean and tidy and staff were helpful and friendly all with smiles on their faces, the buffet selection was as you would expect, had no issues with the food and drink service came within minutes of taking the order. One thing to note is the deserts are fairly limited with only a small selection available in comparison to other Chinese buffets I've visited previously. (Don't worry the chocolate fountain is there!) The décor is in a traditional Chinese style, however a better atmosphere could of been created with some music which didn't seem to be playing on my visit, shame. Paid for the order after eating and left happy with the experience. Would recommend this place to others! Overall 4.5 out of 5 :)

We enjoyed the food and the ambience - Unfortunately we do not like false advertising !! We had our granddaughter with us who was 13 today, we mentioned the advertisement - if it was your birthday your meal would be ‘free of charge’ however, on mentioning it to the cashier she asked for identification in the form of - either a driving license, passport or ID - Driving license really ??? she doesn’t have a passport - the id we had did have her name and date of birth on it - unfortunately that wasn’t enough - total rip off - Wing Wah you should be ashamed of yourselves !!!!!!!!

Staff were excellent, lovely welcome and looked after my family with care and attention. Food was fabulous and such an amazing range of dishes. Loved that some food could be cooked to order and my son-in-law had a stir-fry which he said was delicious. They made a special entrance with a birthday cake for my daughter which my grandchildren enjoyed particularly. We did not feel rushed at all and we will definitely be returning. Thank you so much.

Overall the food was fine. Reasonable choice and nicely cooked with all dishes hot and fresh. However the pricing policy is terrible. The 4’ rule is a joke. We have a grand daughter who is only 10 so is clearly a child, yet was forced to pay full “adult” price. She ate well, but only a child’s portion as she’s only a child!!! The rule is a farce because, for example they could get an adult who perhaps suffers from dwarfism and would only be 4’ tall, but based on the Wing Wah rules, would only pay the lower cost….i really think that they ought to treat children as children up till the age of say, 15 at least. So whilst the food we had was decent, I fear that we will probably not go again. Shame really

This has to be one of the worst places to go for oriental food. The buffet choice is poor, bland (beige) and doesn’t look appealing. Even on a busy Friday night the food isn’t topped up or temperature checked as often as it should be. The food is barely warm and is greasy. For what you pay and for what you can eat isn’t value for money. The staff obviously don’t enjoy working there. If you are unfortunate enough to go when someone is celebrating a birthday then you are half deafened by loud tinny “Happy Birthday “ playing from cheap speakers! If you want a nice night out, avoid here.

We have been to Wing Wah's on many occassions and to be fair hav always enjoyed the food and service, However our visit on the 7th April was really a dispointment and I felt a bit cheated at £54 for two buffets and 2 large pepsi's when the food wasn't as warm as normal and some of the chicken was crunchy and could not be eaten the beef and black bean was tasteless, so just a little disapointed to say the least. the staff were very good and always busy but always polite, Perhaps just one of these wrong night and wrong time. Hopefully they will look at the matter and get it sorted. I do take on board that they werebusy but I do feel that the food should have been a bit better than it was

We came for lunch and from the start we were singled out…. The manger was seating everyone one by one, when it was our turn she pulled my partner to one side and demanded money from him! My partner then questioned why out of around 5 tables why we was the only people to pay her words where “I’m short staffed” this was embarrassing for the both of us as we were probably the youngest couple in there (mid 20s) and we was made to feel that we couldn’t be trusted to pay for our meal after like everyone else in the restaurant…. This behaviour is in no way acceptable and is in fact illegal under The Equality Act to not judge or make assumptions on people age, race and what they are wearing. We have both come away very upset after spending our hard earned cash on something that should have been nice but instead we have been discriminated!!!

We hadn't been to Wing Wah for about 7 years (through personal circumstances) at least. So really weren't sure what we were in for given some of the recent reviews. I'm happy to say the establishment is as good as ever. Maybe better as the food was incredibly tasty and in many instances better than I remember. Someone here on TripAdvisor was moaning about they didn't pay for nuggets and cheaps. Easy fix, don't eat them as there is so much other choice. The staff were excellent also. They work hard and the service for me was slick. Very attentive and helpful in all areas. You cannot fault them. The place was very busy as well which was wonderful to see. If you are reading the reviews about this place and unsure, definitely give it a go. We will be back again and not likely 7 years.

We visited wing wah for Mother’s Day lunch and were not disappointed! The greeting staff were polite and showed us to our table and explained how it worked and took our drinks order which arrived quickly. The food selection was large with some very nice Chinese dishes-the crispy chicken was lovely as were the selection of different style noodles. There was also some lovely starters and a selection of beige food like chips, nuggets and garlic bread-what’s not to like, something for everyone! I personally thought the dessert section was the best. They had a candy floss machine, crepe station, popcorn maker, fresh fruit, the usual small cakes and jelly (heart shaped for mothers day 💙), ice cream machine and of course the chocolate fountain with various sweets, marshmallows and biscuits to dip in the chocolate! The decor of the restaurant was ok and the toilets very clean, I even saw a member of staff actually checking the toliets before signing the check sheet! Over all we had a lovely meal at wing wah for a reasonable price and Will definitely visit again!

It’s changed and not for the better. Crispy duck was boiled fatty duck, no fresh dishes, tepiaki was only fish, chefs specials looked like they’re been there a week. Puddings bland no flavor. It all looks and tastes mass produced. We used to go regularly but won’t be going again. Bumped the price up in December £88 for 4 adults not good value for money. Much nicer food at better price in town. The new seats are heavy cumbersome and uncomfortable. Not easy for older people to move in and out as you refill you’re plate. Toilets weren’t clean. Good points soup was piping hot fantastically tasty. Staff were lovely and helpful. Drinks ordering was easy on an app.

This is my favourite restraunt ever. Know its really quite expensive, there has never been a time when the food was not delicious. A great place for a birthday meal or just a meal out with the family. Also great for a nice date with your significant other. Its a buffet and the stalls are scattered around the room. Toilets are clean and food is high quality. Quite expensive though.

Terrible service. We had 2 vegetarians in our party and were basically told by staff we could eat hash browns and noodles. We eventually found that they had a vegetarian menu but the rest of the party had already eaten by the time these choices arrived. We then asked if we could take what we had already ordered home but we were told that we couldn't unless paying an additional £10.99. The excuse we were given was that the person who told us about the vegetarian options at the buffet had only been there for 2 days. Not good enough. Ultimately the food we ordered went in the bin. Such a waste.

First visit since covid and not impressed! Starters were luke warm and there wasn't the guy at the station where he cooks fresh items while you wait. For £19 it's not cheap and the desserts were nearly all gone at 7.30pm...closes at 9pm. Won't be going again, they do a thing where you can fill a box for a fiver, quite a few did that as a takeaway and is better value.

OK. Good for Children. Wasn't informed (or asked if required!) on arrival that they did a Gluten free menu at the same price as the £12.99 menu. So I 'made do'. At 12:30 when we went for dessert - there was hardly ANYTHING left at all. Not impressed...... Drinks for 3 of us, with one drink each - 2x large lime and soda waters and 1x large pepsi coke was an extra £19 approx. So not really a good deal.

I'd been to Wing Wah only once before with a Tennis Chum who is Chinese and a Gold Card member at the restaurant. I was so impressed on the quality & value for money that I wanted to take my wife but she was put off by some of the negative reviews. We happened to be in Burton shopping so I suggested she just had a look at Wing Wah My wife was impressed with the food on display & although we had not booked Ms Aishah Adraman on reception gave us a warm welcomed & found us a table We both enjoyed the lunch although being school holidays there were quite a number of very young & noisy children around The staff were very pleasant & attentive We will be back to experience the Evening Dinner menu

Disappointed!!! Is one way of putting it. The food seemed to have a salt bath before being served. The choice of food was not as much as you get for the evening service and worse of all the ice cream machine was out of order and so they had ice cream in tubs as a substitute (I’m sorry it’s not the same), and if you think that was bad, worse is yet to come….. there was no chocolate fountain working either. Unfortunately if we visit again, it will be for the evening sitting not lunch time sitting. Enough said.

Visited the restaurant for a birthday lunch never been before and I can say I wouldn’t be rushing back again. We were two adults and 3 children (9,10 and 10) they have a height restriction of 1.4 for children if their over this height they have to be charged as an adult which is absolutely stupid. There’s not a lot of children (our aged children) that would eat enough to equate being charge for an adult. Maybe consider adult prices for 14 years and over. Wasn’t a great deal of choice in dishes nothing that you thought wow. Too much English like pigs in plankets, smiley faces, chicken nuggets, onion rings… we came to a Chinese restaurant for Chinese food not english. Staff weren’t really overall friendly cleared the tables fairly quickly. Then when we came to pay they tried charging us for 8 adults and 4 children… so check your receipts!! Wouldn’t be returning any time soon and if we did it wouldn’t be with the children with their height policy.

Went for my daughters 8th birthday here and they said we couldn't qualify for the freebie for her birthday because there aasnt 4 of us, which was fair enough but they didn't even bother with a happy birthday or a piece of cake with a candle on even though my daughter had a large 8 badge on her. Food was tough, such as the bbq and chicken and salt ribs, the chicken soup was slimy, all of it was only like warm and bland. It was obvious that it was all peft over food as we arrived just after 12 and the chef was just turning the food over. No chocolate fountain or candy floss on and very few choice of desserts! Didn't dare complain as the staff don't even look at you.

We called here for lunch as we were in the area and wanted somewhere quick and hassle-free to eat. We paid £1 to park in the nearby Sainsbury's, which is just a 2 minute walk away. We paid £12.99 each for the all you can eat buffet and it was good value for money. There's always plenty of choice- just as much as in the evening and for £8 less. It was predictably busy, but the staff were efficient and the food was hot and well-stocked. My partner enjoyed the ribs and the crepes and I was happy to see the return of the pineapple fritters and, randomly, I still love the coffee mousse! The desserts are really good here, which is what sets it apart from other world buffet places. We'll be back soon.

First visit since lockdown, so I was ready for some changes. Social distancing etc. First thing - no alcoholic drinks, we asked why and apparently this is going guidelines. So perfectly accepted although maybe a note on the website would work (this is where we booked).Starters were okay. Normal carbs, chips, nuggets etc with duck pancakes, pork yuk sung and syrup spare rips available. Cannot complain. The salad and soup area was severely lacking (no soup at all available, salad looked dried out). Starters were clearly from frozen, especially the yuk sung. Mains were a disaster. I managed to muster a plate of mushrooms with a single piece of curried chicken and 3 pieces of the shredded beef and 2 piece of broccoli. My partner managed noodles instead of mushrooms. The rest of the trays were empty with remnants of food from at least 15 minutes prior. The service was good, our complaint regarding lack of food was dealt with well. Initially we were asked if we had dessert (we hadn't even bothered after the mains issue) and were consequently advised they can cook to order, which we are willing to accept potentially in future) overall, food was adequate - poor. Service was good.

I think they are doing their very best considering all of the changes due to the pandemic , I visited on Aug 29th and things had changed, you cant just help yourself anymore but there is no shortage of food, you stand behind the plastic panel around the buffets and point out exactly what you want on the plate, there is a good choice of food, same as before really. You can go up as many times as you like, I waited no more than 10 mins to eat from when I entered, quicker than the chip shop. Nice food, nice staff, I ate exactly what I would have eaten if there had been no changes at all. The friend who was with me thought it great too

We came on the 11/08, Found the staff pleasant and helpful, Most of the food was great . Pork Chinese style was too salty but on the whole fully satisfied. Satisfied enough to leave a tip, which I never do if I’m dissatisfied. It’s not a perfect situation with the COVID-19 but these people are doing their best and I’d go back again

Visited recently now it’s back open again with new regulations and I’ll just say one thing - don’t go. Myself and my friend were not picky eaters and don’t like to complain but it was awful. The service is now a leaflet that you tick 5 items that you want and it’s brought to you which seems okay in theory. However every single time we were missing one item and it was replaced with something else and nothing was said by the waiter. I could understand one or two errors but every single time?!The food when it came was bad, I won’t beat around the bush. If you fancy a chinese just go to a takeaway - it’ll be better. We also waited around an hour between dishes and by going on our area alone that was ‘quick’... loads of people complaining about the wait and food. Felt sorry for the frontline staff you can tell management have just pushed everyone through the door and don’t have enough staff to provide the service.This place should be running on 50% capacity until they work out how to get it right...They also make you pay before you enter... so don’t expect to get your money back.

Really good food. For the price you pay, you can choose from all sort of continental meals. If you are adventurous or just a simple person like myself, you will be impressed. Wasn't keen on octopus, but someone else might be.

I am not a fussy eater and my partner even less fussy. However , the food was disgusting literally could not find anything remotely appealing to eat. Starters looked like frozen pound shop food. Mains were ghastly and puddings were a joke . Just shambolic.

The food is always delicious, the staff efficient, but when I call to book it always feels I am inconveniencing them. Very fast speaking , very abrupt and music is so loud I have to keep repeating myself. Poor customer service , maybe it’s time to go somewhere else

Last night I went to Wing Wah, Chinese buffet restaurant in Burton upon Trent. I had contacted them previously as I had heard they did a gluten free menu. Firstly, I had booked in advance but we got seated at an awful table next to where all the waste food gets scrapped off and the servers congregate. 4 people went in before us who had not booked, and got a lovely table near the buffet. When I explained to the girl that showed us to our table that my partner is disabled, she just shrugged and said sorry...?! HmmmmThe gluten free menu was extremely limited (3 starters, 5 mains & 3 sides- no desserts) and I could choose 1 starter, 2 mains & 1 side). I was assured they were cooked separately and I took my own soy sauce.Whilst what I got was very nice, it wasn't a patch on what everyone else was eating from the very extensive buffet, but I guess I should be greatful that I wasn't ill and at least they were able to cater (obviously chinese food being one of the most difficult to do gluten free). Do I recommend? Sort of. The gluten free food is very nice but you will still feel very left out. And no desserts. How difficult is ice-cream?

We visit Wing Wahs every December as a family get together. This year was the first disappointing visit we’ve had. The service isn’t that good, the staff are a little rude and short at times. The food is average, nothing special. This time the food was for the most part, hot, which is good. However, there were no specials on, the crepes and candy floss were closed. The puddings aren’t great, other than the chocolate fountain. For the price it’s just a little disappointing. I wouldn’t pay more than £10.

Always busy but always great. Staff friendly and welcoming. Only downside a few deserts plates were empty and the que for pancakes doesn't move very fast. But this will not stop us going again.

Firstly the owners have to congratulated for having taken a dilapidated former night club in the town and for investing heavily in refurbishing the premises when it originally opened. The restoration of the main architectural internal feature to its former glory (the previously hidden vaulted ceiling) has been beautifully done and is a credit to them.Operating beneath it is a busy and tightly run self-service buffet restaurant that gives a wide choice of starters and main courses. The formula of a set price, help yourself arrangement like this isn’t to everyone’s liking but if you are ok with it, then Wing Wah gets it just about spot on.Most popular dishes are well represented here, with what you would normally find on any restaurant or Chinese take away menu available. I have always found the food to be hot, well cooked and the counters well stocked. In addition a separate section caters for deserts, including a self serve whippy ice cream machine.The staff are very efficient - maybe a little too efficient at times as your dirty plate will soon be whisked away. However this means drinks orders are promptly taken and quickly arrive from the bar which is a positive. It can get very busy at times and the only negative I’ve experienced is it makes the rooms a little noisy and some of the open plan seating areas feel a little cramped. Finally don’t let some of the stranger negative comments on here put you off. It’s difficult to see how anyone can leave ‘still starving’ for example- as it’s an all you can eat buffet with a large choice of dishes available... An intimate dining restaurant it’s not either - but they don’t set out to achieve this - it’s quite clear the type of operation it is - and it’s priced accordingly.From my many visits, I’d certainly recommend Wing Wah.

I spent a lovely night out on the 9/12, the price range was right up our alley and the food was as advertised.From what I had been told in the past my expectations were HIGH, however the overall night was basic but enjoyable.For a cheap night out with decent quality food, this is definitely the place to go in burton.

Son and future daughter in law suggested this restaurant for lunch, it was a good idea and we did have a pleasant lunch. We have been before and were delighted to find things much the same.The quantity of food and range of dishes is impressive. Starters are marginally separate to mains, with some English foods to the side. Deserts also present. Collect a plate, collect food, tuck in. As simple as that. Leave plate behind, which is collected by ever alert and unobtrusive assistants, collect clean plate and collect again. Food titles are in minute print on perspex blocks nearby. Beware of the banana fritters being next to the curry / sweet and sour sauce!This dream machine of eat as much as you can is by and large ok. The food could have been marginally hotter, but we arrived at 12.00, by which time fellow diners had been at work for some time and those trays of food put our for the start of service had cooled slightly. It is a very difficult balance for the kitchen staff, between speed of being consumed and replacement trays being presented. Staff bringing those trays out are vigilant and constantly electronically signalling to the kitchen as to what needs to come out next.Fresh salad was available at the end of the starters, fresh fruit is available at the deserts section too. The chocolate fountain was not in operation at the time of our visit, possibly this is only available during evening service?All the serving areas are held over fascinating layered glass plinths - superb. Atmosphere is attempted with some Chinese figures at the reception area.Although allergen advice is given in a very small area of the pud section and highlighted in house rules - which are visible as you pay upon leaving, but funnily enough, not clear until then - could be more easily visible.Some information about salt and sugar content of meals would be welcome at a time where 'thumb nails' are so easily found on contemporarily purchased foods.Knowing it would be busy - and it was, with families having a whale of a time together - my future daughter in law booked ahead by email. Although her email booking is her usual communication with Wing Wah's system here, they did not reply to her on this occasion. Fortunately we continued with our plans for eating here today.We will visit again. Good food, great value for money, excellent service. Thank you for a good lunch today.

After booking a table for 15 people for my daughters 6th birthday being the restaurant of her choice which pinched my purse off £77 , I was very disappointed to begin with over the greeting of utter carnage getting seated at our table , it was very stressful with a 2 year who become over overwhelm with the amount of customers stood in the restaurants waiting area all squished together and getting trampled over. The 2 year old boy who as anxiety issues due to poor nature of his past , I had no option put to enter the restaurant and asked 4 members of staff if we could just be seated for a valid and obvious reason , however members of staff I approached could barely understand my English language and was told to go and wait outside . At this point I felt like going home ! I ended up locking my self and distressed 2 year old in the toilet to calm down . Where eventually a member of staff come into me and offered to find my table. Another 10 minutes later our table was found and we was seated. We waited a very long time for our drinks and was refused to take a drinks order at first from our table because was told there was to many of us on a table and the bar area was completely rammed. The food was very nice and once seated the staff was polite and helpful.

Came for my daughters birthday she had been looking forward to it all week. We have been many times before but the last couple of times the food has been poor. Mainly the meat, it’s seems poor quality and the duck my daughter ate tasted off. She didn’t want to eat any savoury food after that and had some desserts which she enjoyed

Yes this just another fast food restaurant but must say all food I ate was tasty well presented and fresh. The soup although a standard in Chinese Resturant’s chicken and sweet corn particularly good as was the lychees on of my favourites. Well done Wing Wah. Lost a mark in my view as noisy but I stress this very picky as others like this type of environment.

We used to come here a lot but stopped coming as it went really down hill in food quality. However, as we were in town shopping, feeling hungry we decided we would give it another go. Unfortunately it was almost 1:30pm when we entered, open for lunch until 3pm.... we should have given it a miss

Not exactly fine dining but what a wide selection of Chinese dishes. Soups are particularly nice. Ideal if you have a BIG appetite and for little ones who are fussy. Depending when in the day and week you visit the cost is very reasonable although drinks can be pricey . He you have a sweet tooth you will love the chocolate fountain . Ice cream is fab! Candy floss and crepes too. What's not to like. The dishes are constantly replaced with fresh ones. Although it lacks ambience it's ideal for hungry families.

We have been long standing customers of Wing Wah in Burton. Went to their restaurant for father’s day and were advised that we couldn’t use our loyalty good card for our usual 10% discount. What’s the point in offering a customer loyalty scheme if it can be used on an arbitrary basis at the discretion of the restaurant management? I might choose to offer my loyalty to another restaurant in Burton on an arbitrary basis next time we go out for dinner. You’ve let down a long standing customer Wing Wah Burton!
