First, the waitress offered to “order for us” and make it an omakase style. That’s not what I wanted. Although I was given the option to order more when they served all the things they picked, I couldn’t order all that I wanted to eat because I didn’t want to delay everyone else. I came here for a buffet but I wasn’t given the chance to order what I liked. With that said, the majority of the dishes aren’t worth trying anyway. The fried rice is good. The shredded cucumbers and spring onions is also good. Everything else? Not so much. The chicken in the first dish (deep fried chicken?) was stinky! I really wanted to spit it out but I couldn’t do that on a table. Very disgusting. And later I had two dishes where the meat carried a dishwashing liquid flavour. The pancake in the duck dish tastes dry and powdery. I wonder how it became like that. The duck and the sauce were quite different from the classic Peking duck. And the classic is called classic for a good reason. The wontons had very thick skins and the soup was very salty. I would advise the chef to just buy some frozen ones and boil them in plain water instead of making bad wontons. It is very sad when you have so many things on the menu but in the end I had to fill my stomach with fried rice. Well, at least the fried rice was good.

After being told the wait was 45-60 minutes, we waited over 2 hours for food to call and be told that it would be at least another half an hour. We used to be regular customers here and the service had always been somewhat slow but this is the final straw. I’d go to any other Chinese in Hitchin before Bodilys. If you can’t serve food within 2 hours you’re clearly not capable to run a take away.
