No-nonsense Asian buffet with a wide range of food items. The selection of seafood especially is vast not only fresh prawns and shrimps but also squid and mussels. The char siu pork, the chicken wings and the dumplings deserve special mention. Amongst the mains, the beef and the chicken stood out to me. The only area where they can make some improvement is desserts which leaves a lot to be desired. But the price justifies any shortcomings. It was an amazing experience eating here.

Was there yesterday , 8£ for takeaway or 16£ for eating in. Choose to eat in, and went to lower floor, Person at entrance was extremely polite and everyone else in restaurant as well, i went downstairs, but sadly couldnt enjoy much food ( as i didnt feel well, probably got sick after multiple hours of walking in rain same day got cold/fever ) but finished about half of what i ordered and it was really good chinese. If i'm ever in london again, i will certainly come and visit this buffet again and get my moneys worth this time. Also to note, even tho lower floor was shut down already, the restaurant workers did let me stay there as i insisted i wanted to be alone, as on top floor it was too loud for me for my condition at that time.
