Very busy place , fortunately our table had been booked . Queuing for considerable time for others , all happily waiting . Service was excellent, as was the choices on menus . Make as many choices as you want , all they ask is that you do not waste food . Hasten to say we didn’t . Food was all served piping hot , & good portions . Will be visiting again .

Absolutely love this place, regularly go, we get great service and great food - never have any complaints You have to pay for your food and first drink up front which is fair enough as I’m sure they’ve had people walk out without paying - don’t see why anyone would have a problem with this. We always go home full and definitely get our moneys worth, favourite Chinese to eat out at Starters come on one big plate which we enjoy as we all share and have a bit of everything, small portions are great as reduces the waste as I don’t like wasting food but if we finish it and wanted more we just order more.

An unusual buffet set-up but it worked well and the food was excellent! Probably the first all you can eat place where the flavours in my mouth were more important than filling my belly!!! Worth every penny and I'll be going again

This place has been here for years and is still amazing. Food is superb , buffet deal is cooked to order so is always fresh and hot. As a result I very rarely make it to the main courses.

Food was lovely as always.. However some dishes were forgotten and service was slow. One member of staff seemed stressed and erratic, rushing around trying to take orders and serving. Other staff looked uninterested and unfriendly, however it was Xmas so obviously didn't want to be working. Atmosphere wasn't anything special and inside could do with a bit if decorating.

Had a takeaway from here. I had a veg curry which was lovely till I came towards the end of it and unfortunately found a long hair so I didn't finish it after finding this. I know things like this can happen so will not put me off going there again. Veg curry and chips were lovely. Partner had Beef teriyaki and she absolutely enjoyed it. I didn't think much of the curry samosas though.

AT time of writing the 3.8 rating seems unfair. We were immediately warned to enter car reg on arrival, the place was warm and the main lady serving very pleasant. Most importantly the starters were generous and very good, the mains also quite happy with. Main concerns with chinese these days is the sauces were largely a bit more unique, they were not overly sugary/gloopy and more effort had gone in to some unique /distinct flavour. Noticed the hygiene rating is now up to 5 which it wasn't previously. I'm not saying all was perfect, some dishes (e.g. veg) were far to too salty, yes some of the sauces I suspect were bottle/ shortcut sauces but as I say 3.8 rating not fair it's more 4.3-4.5 based on this visit... so have given 5 stars to offset that a little... I appreciate the improvements since I last visited some time back.

Very nice all you can eat buffet. Fresh, hot, and good service. Pay before you eat so don't be surprised when the bill arrives before the food.

My husband and I absolutely love Lailing, we visit every year for Valentines and love the service and staff members there. We always compare other places when we eat with friends to Lailing and have never found anything that is as good. We have brought our friends and family here in the past (pre covid) as we love the atmosphere. The portion sizes are amazing, quality of food is excellent, and everything comes out quickly and to an exceptional standard. This year due to Covid we had our Lailing delivered to home, and it was once again perfect. It was a different experience to usual but we are glad that we could still support our local and favourite. It arrived quicker than expected ~30mins (and actually arrived within 10-15 mins). Would happily order for delivery again and can't wait to visit again in person!
