Absolutely loved it! We took the buffet fine dining option and it was well worth it. Food was all incredibly fresh and tasty - lots of choice and staff were very attentive. Would definitely recommend!
An amazing restaurant, fresh and tasty food for all diets. I have been a couple of times and haven’t been disappointed once, friendly staff and beautiful interior
Great value for money, food was to a good standard and would definitely return. Would suggest if you wanted more of something to re-order earlier (before you finish the dish) as you could wait a while for a top up (if having the buffet option) during busy periods. We were not rushed during our meal. Atmosphere was lovely and enough space around too. Staff were friendly and helpful.
So we had the dinner buffet, everything was super tasty, we left feeling extremely full. The food came out quickly. We were missing the Satay chicken the second time we ordered starters but it was probably a blessing in disguise as we wouldn't have had room for it. You can order as many starters and mains as you like, but only 1 round of duck or lamb. There was a slight price discrepancy, on the website it says it's a couple of quid cheaper, when I asked about this I was told it was a problem with updating the website. It was a shame they didn't honour that price but it's not the end of the world. There is a 10% service charge added on so dont be surprised when you're charged extra, I always prefer my tip to be optional, but again, nevermind. The staff work very quickly so there's the occasional mix up with drinks order but they're quick to fix that too. Our bill came to £197 odd including the service charge but we had multiple soft drinks too. £40 a head not too bad. Would definitely come again, hopefully they have a special offer one day to help my bleeding bank account.
We wanted to try this place for a long time, and we should had tried it earlier. The staff are super friendly and greeted you when you arrived. The food was served quickly and very tasty, with generous portion sizes. We had the Valentines Day special menu.
Had birthday meal chose the buffet menu at around £25 a head. Food was ok until we were delivered frozen crispy chicken balls as part of the mains. Service was also quite slow. Family of five our bill was £190 which was far too expensive for what we ate considering we only had soft drinks with the meal. Think a single selection from the menu would have be better and more enjoyable Don't think we will eat here again
Our first visit. Amazing ambiance in a full restaurant- so glad we booked! Every dish was delicious and served by attentive and very friendly staff. I can't remember when we were last asked if we were ready for the next course or would like it in 5 or 10 minutes! When we left they made us feel they really would like us to return soon and we would recommend a visit to anyone who enjoys 'a good Chinese' but don't forget to book and be hungry!
We used to come here quite often, pre-children. Haven't been here to dine in for some years now, so decided to see if anything has changed. I can honestly say it hasn't, the place is still immaculate, very tastefully decorated. The staff are always very pleasant and very attentive, they even remembered us from before which was an amazing touch. The atmosphere is always great, no matter what time you visit, there is always a buzz in the air. The food, is exquisite, always perfectly prepared and wonderfully presented. Some of the best Chinese food you will find for some distance I can honestly say. Well worth a visit if you are after a good meal for a reasonable price in the area.
OMG excellent food, great service, extremely cozy atmosphere. We stay at a hotel nearby, but not happy with their limited menu so decided to come try Water-Margin : best choice we have made. They have set menus for 2+people, plenty choices... Honestly when we got to main menu... We were so full.. Great value for the money and sooo tasty. We saw many people coming for collection also. Such a shame we are not from the area as we would have definitely be their regular weekly customers.
