Capital Chinese - Colchester

We were not aware that the restaurant had changed from buffet self-service to ordering as you go. While it was nice that all the food was freshly cooked to order, the selection was not as extensive as before. The waitress stood very close to us, which made us feel uncomfortable, and she kept pushing my son to ask for sausages and nuggets, even though we didn't want them. The food was tasty, but overall, we probably won't be returning any time soon.

The menu at this restaurant is limited to 100 dishes, but it sticks to the basics. This only applies to the all you can eat menu, not the a la carte. It's not clearly advertised that all you can eat is available, except for the Sunday special. The 100 dishes include variations with pork, chicken, beef, prawn, etc. There are no desserts on the all you can eat menu, and it cannot be altered like the a la carte menu. The service was excellent, with attentive staff bringing out the food quickly. The food was very good and cooked to order. At £17.99, it offers good value for money and is cheaper than its competitors. Overall, it was a good night out and we left feeling full. The food, value for money, and service were excellent, with all the favorite dishes available. The restaurant also appeared clean.

Rude staff, took forever to get any food. Supposed to be all you can eat, but they tell you how much you can eat. Literally a joke. Cold food and very small portions. Avoid if more than two people eating.

The food was delicious and reasonably priced, the service was attentive, and all the dishes were served fresh and hot. I will definitely be back for the kung pao chicken – it's a must-try!

Me and the wife ate here today and was blown away by the food eat as much as you like cooked as you want it so don’t get cold the service was impeccable the portions were good and the jasmine tea was hot and lovely and they topped it up free of charge only criticism I have is no desert but I don’t know if you can have desert with normal menu I will ask next time and update review I would like to point out to the sweet and sour chicken lovers that this dish has no traces of vinegar it was divine try it and see enjoy
