Great food and plenty of it. On a Sunday there is all you can eat buffet lunch. The range of dishes is amazing. There is something for everyone. You can go up as many times as you want. The staff are great.

Visited on a recommendation. Food was good, on the buffet only chicken and pork meat dishes available the day we went, no beef etc. Although there was some prawn and vegetable dishes to choose from also. A fair range of food accompaniments to go with above dishes. Service was good. Staff were swift in removing empty used plates. Look forward trying here again.

Me and my partner come here every couple of weeks or when we can and the food is delicious we go for the all you can eat buffet which is 17.50 each. My partner loves the duck with pancakes and I like the vermicelli with cheese and chicken rolls with the chicken balls there is plenty to use from. There is also an ice cream station which is nice and it is by far worth the money,the staff are very nice and helpful nothing is a problem for them very attentive they have recognised that me and my partner are regulars give this a try you will not be disappointed.

I had the Early Bird Special with some friends and it was delicious! The pork pring rolls are so juicy, then had the chicken friend rice which you can never go wrong with. To top it off, a lovely vanilla ice cream with a wafer. Very friendly and helpful staff and a favourite place to go.
