Mandarin Buffet - Belfast

We went to this restaurant for lunch and found the food to be just okay, not perfect. Since it was lunchtime, there weren't many options to choose from and there were too many curry dishes. It was a typical Chinese buffet with noodles, rice dishes, and various stews. The worst part was that they only accepted cash payments, which was a big issue for many customers. This needs to change as most people nowadays prefer to pay by card.

I have known about this place for years but had never visited before. We finally checked it out this week as we were heading to the cinema later and it was a convenient spot to grab a meal. It's an all-you-can-eat Chinese buffet. I tried various dishes and a dessert, so I definitely got my money's worth. The food was good with a wide selection to choose from. The crispy chicken dishes were a bit too large and soft for my liking, but still tasted okay. The beef, pork, and prawns were delicious. The restaurant itself is a bit outdated, with manual order-taking and an old cash register system. It has a similar vibe to a buffet at a hotel. This didn't bother me, but I can see how it might bother others. Overall, I think it's a great place to eat as much as you want without worrying about the price, especially if you enjoy Chinese food. They also offer affordable bottled alcohol. I would definitely visit again.

I went to this restaurant and was disappointed to find out that they only accept cash, and if you want to withdraw money from the ATM outside, there is a charge. The menu was lacking in variety, with no prawns available and mostly chicken dishes. There was only one beef option. The staff was unfriendly, and one even told me I couldn't have many prawns when I asked how long it would take for a new tray to be brought out.

Highly recommend due to excellent food and service, huge selection of beautiful Chinese and thai food

Lovely staff, got a lovely meal and amazing service. Will defo be bringing my family here in the future, would recommend it!
