Lai Ling

Word to the wise: don't pull in to the car park and then change your mind, as you're supposed to pay (parking will be validated if purchasing food).

Food wise: rice, boiled or otherwise isn't included when purchasing a curry (not sure about other dishes)... Sooooo, one beef curry £6.90 (very nice, but also a bit too spicy for me, oh and watch out if you don't like carrots) + £ 2.90 for egg fried rice (EXTREMELY salty, does not looked fried and egg bits were tiny and few, picture below, so I'll let you guys be judge - the visuals anyway).

Conclusion: thanks anyway ladies (both friendly) but no thanks.

Me and my partner have just visited Lai Ling buffet for the first time this evening. We were pleasantly surprised by the quality of food, it’s cost £23.50 per person (Saturday price) but the food comes out plated as you order at a good size portion (smaller than normal but this was perfect for a buffet). The food was all hot, fresh and tasty - the quality of the meat was outstanding! The ribs fell off the bone! Some of the sauces were a little too salty, or not flavoursome enough (barbecue ribs and sweet and sour), but overall it was really lovely and not greasy at all. The staff were really friendly, the service was efficient and the food came out in good time. Would definitely recommend the duck pancakes and crispy salt and pepper chicken! The decor inside is quite outdated and the restaurant is small, so not a place for a large party or fine dining experience. We will be back!

Great experience. Food amazing. Order what ever you want off the menu...staff work hard. Had a lovely night.

Despite the few negative comments for here, we decided to go anyway. 4 people went and found the food fresh, hot and tasty and well presented. The service was excellent, and staff was very attentive so we couldn't fault the restaurant. We will definitely return.

Favourite Chinese. All you can eat. Hot food, serviced quickly. Great choice. The venue itself is a little outdated but the food makes up for that then fold.

Very good food.. couple of pints of sunlip!staff bang on and proper plates here

Came here for the first time in 20+ years last night. It has become an at table buffet since my last visit.

The food is freshly prepared. It is delicious. It May appear slightly expensive, especially if you do not eat a lot. However the food and service were amazing.

Smallish portions of each thing you order which is fine because you just order more if you want more.

Will definitely be coming back and will be recommending it to everyone who will listen.

In other reviews i read that the atmosphere is slightly lacking. But in all honesty, the atmosphere is what you make it.

Amazing overall *****

As previous comment, food was very good but you feel rushed and under pressure.
They try and take away your plates whilst you are still eating !
