Fairly frequent patron here, and tonight's midweek meal pleasantly surprised. Even on a Wednesday evening, the lively ambiance buzzed with couples and celebratory groups. Unlike past visits, tonight's vibe truly sparkled. Highlights include the standout Chicken Hot Pot with Toban sauce—impressive!—and the Deep-Fried Salt and Chilli King Prawns were pure delight. Regrettably, the potential of the Salt and Chilli Spare Ribs got lost in overcooking—a kitchen slip-up that shouldn't have left the kitchen.
Consistently winning were the Sizzling Oriental dishes, like the King Prawn with Ginger and Spring Onions. Remember, San thrives in its buzz, guaranteeing both good food and vibes. Avoid off-peak times. Service had a minor hiccup taking a while to get served but recovered well.
Considering around £30/head midweek with soft drinks and 10% service charge is fair for this quality, especially compared to neighbouring tables paying £36 each, inclusive of a few alcoholic beverages. The food truly dazzles when it's busy, though a modern decor update wouldn't hurt. Insider tip: snag local road parking after 6:00 p.m. In essence, choosing this quality buffet lets you relish diverse flavours without a hefty bill. It's not Songs buffet; it's a tasteful fusion of buffet and à la carte.

Cozy, great food, great value for money, excellent service. Family comes here quite often for good reason. Friendly staff
