Made an order by phone, they only took the last part of the order so had to order again for the rest when we went in. We make it home with food, and find that the fish is the cheap packet stuff from a supermarket. They do not serve hot dogs, potato fritters, onion rings, squid rings, or burgers, and a scoop of chips equates to about 20 chips. I do not recommend this place.

Went to get the smorgasbord, as I remember it used to be really good as a kid. Came back some years later and it has fallen apart substantially which is a shame. For one, the options were one third of what used to be available. Two thirds of the trays were empty! The options we had were dry and the flavours weren't there like they used to be. Plus I was charged more than what was advertised on all of the signage which wasn't great.

Will never go back there again.
Highchairs were disgusting and food options for buffet minimal and looked like it had been sitting for hours.
Everything felt sticky to touch.
Horrible

Called in for smorgasbord takeaways early afternoon. Not much of a selection. Got home - The wontons were dry and tough as was the (sweet n sour) pork & chicken & fish.

Food was old and sitting in the buffet for a while. Well that's what it tasted like. Service was great. Ordered number 1: Spicy Beef noodles and pork and chives dumplings. They were yum!

If you like food with no flavour that feels like it’s been reheated from the day before than this is the place for you. Should be ashamed to call this Chinese food. Definitely need a lack of tastebuds to eat here. The restaurant was very tidy though. -10/10

Walked in at 3. Paid full price for dinner smorgasbord $24. Menu options very minimal. Taste very minimal. All the food cold even the soup.
Shrimp smelled funny.
Only good food was cup of water.with smudge
I dont usually disrespect the RICE. But even fried rice was disappointing.

Not sure if they are trying to save up the running cost by setting the food warmer at medium.

Highly not recommended.

Tonight's Buffet Selection was minimal. The dishes were only like warm and the food was substandard for the price.

As first time visitors I felt that the selection was poor and food was cold and very over priced we definitely won't be going back.

Really nice food and not too salty, well known family business to the township. And excellent service, so I rate them a
5 Star

Terrible food full of coil flour with very little meat in the dishes, we are loyal people but there is only so much you can support local before you feel your getting ripped off.we will not be back! Would have given no star if I could

The food was good quality. There was not a large range of buffet options, but a good range. The puddings were limited but satisfactory. As a quick drop in to get a good quality meal worth doing. The staff were very pleasant and the atmosphere was great.
Good family option if you enjoy Chinese food options.

This place doesn’t even deserve a one star! It was appalling! So little choose from and it all looked uninviting! The chicken was under cooked and there was a distinct lack of vegetables. As for the dessert! What dessert? A couple of jellies, some marshmallows and a pavlova!
Don’t go there as it’s not worth the money and your better off having cheese on toast at home!

Disgusting food was cold and horrible. Been there in the past and it was great, now never going to go back. No steam coming off the food. Hot food was as cold as the prawns on ice. Fail

THE WORST! Cold, dry food and when I returned my dish (only having had a couple of bites), the manager and chef literally laughed at me! I was embarrassed and felt ripped off. They offered no help except humiliation
