Riverbank Chinese Buffet - Norwich

Beautiful restaurant. the staff was friendly and helpful. the midday buffet proved to be an excellent value for money with only food was also beautiful.

The desserts included sliced Swiss Roll, shop bought waffle pieces, tinned pineapple chunks, and tinned sliced peaches. The soft ice cream machine was not operating but there were other options available. Overall, the food quality was poor and it felt like the restaurant was focused on maximum profit with minimal effort put in. For a group of 6 people, the total bill came to £59.70 which felt like a waste of money. I would recommend trying the supermarket for a better dining experience at home as this restaurant was not worth the visit.

The food was delicious and the staff were friendly. My fiancée and I were very impressed with both the food and the view of the river. I have been to several buffets in the past, but this one stood out to me as the food was fresh and tasty. I would highly recommend this restaurant to my friends and family, and I will definitely be returning in the future.

I usually avoid giving negative reviews, but this was by far the worst meal I have ever had, regardless of the cost. I strongly recommend avoiding this restaurant - we left after just a few bites. Additionally, they serve oversized drinks without asking, which adds to the disappointment. We paid £58 for three people, nearly double what we would pay in London. I have no choice but to rate this experience as a 1 out of 5.

Was recommended to visit this buffet by another restaurant owner, and took the chance when we were in Norwich. Parking is unavailable directly next to the buffet, but there's paid parking at a nearby multi-storey, and at the Riverside Retail Park too (note: time limit applies to retail park) Short 2 min walk to the buffet. Paid on entry (expected) shown to a table with a view of the river. Didn't know what we wanted to drink immediately, so deferred that until seated. Decor was all black, reds and golds (auspicious colours), but it made the unit seem dark, dull and dreary. Our table, chairs and seating area was clean, neat tidy, with a pleasant view of the river. Being a lunch time, the buffet counters weren't fully stocked, but that was expected too. (Evenings have a wider choice, but it costs more) The choices available to us were limited in their scope. Standard Chinese food for Western palettes basically. Although hot, and clearly quite fresh, the food dishes had a distinct lack of authenticity, and their taste was mediocre at best. We've had better food, of a similar type from many takeaways. Although we thought the value very good, as lovers of Asian food, we won't be returning.
