Friendly staff, tasty food and a really sociable experience, as you can eat without having to leave the table as per the usual buffet set up. Just remember they don't accept card payments. Cash only.

Great food and great fun at unbelievable prices. We have been a few times and I think you get the best experience if you go as a group of 3 or more as you tend to share and try new things.

Every single item of food was of poor quality and cooked nothing like it should be. The chicken satay was especially bad. AVOID unless your happy throwing money away.

All you can eat was good, with the revolving meals, but service button broken, and they didn't tell us that. Good value. Surprisingly quiet for a Saturday night.

Food wasn't hot, service was poor. They didn't have a note of our reservation even though it was booked a couple of days earlier. A lot of the food had run out and wasn't replaced. The food I did eat was tasty although the temperature was not very hot at all

We had a table booked for 7.30 but we had to wait 20 minutes until our table was ready. Food was nice though, but they never had banana fritters which I would say they should have seen as it's mostly Chinese food

First visit and plan to go back soon. Staff very helpful and professional. Food lovely with a good selection. As it was my first visit wasn't sure how it worked but the staff explained well and it didn't take long to get in the way of it. Good layout as well didn't feel cramped and even although it was busy it didn't feel that way and there was always plenty of food circling. Thanks all most enjoyable.

Alcove style seating created a cosy feeling. Attractive room. Novelty food presentation was interesting and food was good. At first didn't realise the food circulating would be changing all the time so this gave us a nice surprise. Vegatables particularly tasty, especially the green beans. Only downside is that the continually circulating dishes distract the eye and can sometimes make it hard to focus on the conversation at the table until you have all found your choices, but would definitely go back.

Maybe a good concept but many flaws ie, you do not know how long food has been on belt and food often cold a bit mish-mash way of presenting food as you may want something that goes with noodles or rice and by the time they come round the dish you chose was not hot, and we had a seat right outside of the kitchen. Also very slow in replacing or re-newing dishes so a bit disappointing so probably won't be back at this restaurant.

Went along with Mini-me who was very excited by the double-deck conveyor belts! Despite making a booking and arriving a little early, we still had to wait for quite a while to be seated - perhaps a good sign as to how popular it is! The food, however, was really good and my small companion was soon tucking into sushi, sashimi, dumplings, crispy squid, etc! The only potential 'problem' was stopping him from taking food off the conveyor and then wasting it (hate that!). The staff were quick and attentive, but the best bot was when the bill arrived. For what we had, we'd easily have paid another £20 than the less than £30 that we did pay. Great place - we'll be back.

It was an interesting experience but it was very distracting looking for food all the time. The selection wasn't very big when it came to food that wasn't breaded or chips, nuggets etc but it was a novelty experience and the price was good.

Food is excellent, with great variety to cater for every taste. Diners can eat as much or as little as they wish and fill their plates multiple times. The waiting staff can be a bit quick to whisk away empty plates, which can be a bit intrusive but that is the only downside. This is a great place to come if you are very hungry!

We had a good choice of food and drink. Each plate is delicious. Kids loved the food going round in front of them. Music is a bit loud for dinner. You have to pay cash.
