From the outside it appears as if this is a strictly buffet affair, but this isn't actually the case. You can order off a set menu or opt for the £7.50 all-you-can-eat buffet (however vegetarians should note the only suitable dishes were chips, seaweed, salt & pepper tofu, and rice, so best to stick to the set menu). |

[[Bec]] had the vegetables in soup with noodles - substituting mushrooms for beancurd - for £3.80 and it was very tasty with crunchy vegetables and lots of ramen in a massive bowl. [[Ewan]] had the veggie spring rolls for starters, which he found a bit bland, and the vegetable ho-fun noodles, which were piled high on the plate and were perfectly tasty. Meat-eating Sean remarked that his pork dumplings and crispy duck stir fry were acceptable, though he was served two flat colas. Something wrong with the soda-stream? |

From the outside it appears as if this is a strictly buffet affair, but this isn't actually the case. You can order off a set menu or opt for the all-you-can-eat buffet, which is priced between £6 and £8.50 depending on the day and the time <small>[http://flickr.com/photos/rjw1/2724385837/ photo of buffet prices and rules]</small>. However, vegetarians should note that at least in March 2008 the only vegetarian dishes on the buffet were chips, seaweed, salt & pepper tofu, and rice; so best to stick to the set menu. [[Bec]], [[Ewan]], and Sean tried the set menu in March 2008. Bec had the vegetables in soup with noodles - substituting mushrooms for beancurd - for £3.80 and it was very tasty with crunchy vegetables and lots of ramen in a massive bowl. Ewan had the veggie spring rolls for starters, which he found a bit bland, and then the vegetable ho-fun noodles, which were piled high on the plate and were perfectly tasty. Meat-eating Sean remarked that his pork dumplings and crispy duck stir fry were acceptable, though he was served two flat colas. Something wrong with the soda-stream? [[Bob]] visited on a Saturday afternoon in August 2008, and went for the buffet option (£6.50 on this occasion). The food was plentiful, and tasty enough, and the Chinese tea was acceptable. There were several other customers present. |

All in all, far from gourmet but super-cheap and accessible.
