We visited W2 World Buffet Restaurant on a Wednesday evening, and our experience had both highs and lows. Starting on a positive note, the staff were professional and polite, greeting us warmly and promptly showing us to our seats with drinks already prepared. The service throughout the evening was attentive and friendly. The main draw of W2 World Buffet is its vast selection of food, offering a wide variety of cuisines from Chinese and Indian to other global favorites. It’s an impressive lineup for anyone who loves having options. However, as is sometimes the case with “all you can eat” establishments, quantity seemed to take precedence over quality. While it was great to have so many dishes to choose from, many of the items felt lackluster, lacking the vibrant flavors and freshness that make these cuisines shine. The dessert section was also a bit underwhelming. One large cake appeared to have been ravaged, looking far from appetizing, and the mint ice cream had an unfortunate, overpowering flavor reminiscent of toothpaste. It was clear that desserts were more about quantity than quality. All things considered, W2 World Buffet is decent for the price, especially if you’re looking for a casual night out with an array of options to explore. But if you’re expecting top-notch quality, you may be left disappointed. It’s an alright spot for satisfying a variety of cravings but definitely not a fantastic dining experience.

Worst experience in a restaurant, service was so slow and very rude. Waitress didn't come over for the first 20 minutes, the food was very salty, luke warm and then cold within 2 minutes. When paying the bill we didn't agree with the 12.5% discretionary service charge so asked for it to be removed, we were then shouted at by two waitress saying we have to pay it as we had been served. The receipt stated it was a discretionary charge but when we pointed this out we were shouted at further and one of the servers stormed off. Awful experience, wouldn't recommend to anyone.

We had a great experience in 2022 so decided to go back during our 2024 stay in London. Unfortunately it was not as good as 2 years back. We had a sweet chilli chicken, dumplings and 2 soups. Everything very average and with a lot of vinegar. I expected much better Asian cousine from China Town.

Not a great experience, our food was lukewarm at best, so a nervous night in store... The bar man was clearly in need of training as there was issues with our drinks and it was difficult to get a fresh drink even though the restaurant was not busy. We had numerous starters which looked delicious but were salty, cool and of low quality. The mains we had were poor, the meat rubbery, the egg fried rice side dishes, not fresh, sticky. The curry sauce was congealed and we did not eat. Quite simply we may have been too big a group for them to accommodate, the food potentially could be good, however, our experience means we won't be returning.

This place is under new management and it shows. The food was exceptional, although it was a takeaway, it was the standard you should expect from a Chinese. Next time we will be eating in. Visited one afternoon and there was a couple of DJs. Really like the cool vibe of the place. Will definitely be back and will go to one of the events! 👍🏻

Having just read the reviews and wishing I’d done that last week. The food was expensive, the duck was in chunks and tasteless and the sauce congealed on the plate, obviously straight from a tub. I’m not one for wasting food but £52 went straight into the bin. APPALLING.
