The decor is dated, but now and again you can live with that. It is not here to be a swish modern, award winning chinese, just an honest local restaurant that serves good food at a reasonable price - and it does just that! They do an 'all-you-can-eat' for approximately £11 Sunday to Thursday and this is a couple of quid more for a Friday or Saturday night. From then on in you get to take your pick from a full menu, eating until your heart's content. The one slight annoyance is that they insist on you ordering everything at the start (starters, duck, mains etc.) BUT you can then order additional items as you go so you do not lose out at any point. Staff are good and attentive and there is a bar there so you can get some drinks too. Definitely a recommended place.

Have to agree with Havingalaugh's review, spot on really. Makes a change from the buffet…read morerestaurants of town. Have been coming here for a few years now, living in Carlton as I do, and I believe it to be one of the best all-you-can-eat Chinese places in the county. I even rate this place above Springewater at Calverton, which only trumps Summer Palace on decor in my opinion, which means nothing to me! Give it a try...in fact, I reckon it's worth a drive here even if you don't live in the area.

That being said the Dim Sum is amazing, the service is fast and friendly and the prices for a sit down lunch are very reasonable.

The overhaul is excellent, so the surrounding now suit the food. We have eaten there on many occasions, and never been disappointed. They do an excellent set menu lunch throughout the week for a very good price - this seems to be a well kept secret although they clearly advertise it on the side of the building! It's always a quiet meal at lunchtime. The evening menu is comprehensive and served efficiently. It's certainly good value for money. - good food cooked well.

To be honest I had always associated Chinese food as something I would eat in the evening rather than lunch, no reason for that, so having now tried this place as at lunch I can gladly say it is a definite winner. After ordering a platter to share for two people it arrived looking very well presented and it immediately dawned on me that actually Chinese food is very well suited to a quick business lunch. The portions were nice and bite sized and it also allowed you to sample a good variety of different things in one meal, so if you did find something a little unusual for your tastebuds there was always another option to take the taste away! The place is well decorated and in a prime spot in the middle of West Bridgford just off the pedestrian zone on Main Street. Also nice to see that they had a Chinese beer on draft (probably brewed in England!!) so I could try and get into the spirit of the surroundings.

Frankly, I can't believe that i'm the first person to write a review for this place. A chinese…read morerestaurant called Mayfair has existed on this site for many years, and was the first chinese that my mother visited back in the 60s, and I have been visiting it for at least 20 years. In this age of all-you-can-eat chinese buffets, Mayfair makes a refreshing change (because it isn't one, as most new Nottingham chinese restaurants seem to be). Firstly, the decor is no-frills. Clean and simple. The place has a very informal atmosphere. They are not licensed, so you can take your own alcohol, which automatically makes for a cheaper bill. There are plenty of off-licenses nearby, so this system works fine. The menu is fairly standard chinese fodder, with a few unusual dishes thrown in for good measure. Occassionally there will also be an additional 'specials' menu, where new and more unusual dishes appear. The food is always good quality, and always arrives hot. Portions are generous, and Mike the manager is very helpful and friendly. I have recommended this place to many people, who have in turn recommended it to all and sundry. Pricewise, Mayfair represents fantastic value. I often go with friends, and we all have a soup to start along with some other mixed starters to share (ribs etc), and then we all have a main course with rice or noodles. When the bill comes, it seldom works out at more than £11 per head. It gets very busy on Friday and Saturday night, so book ahead to avoid disappointment. I love the friendly, informal, unpretentious nature of the place. Great to visit with friends, and they can cater for large groups if needed to. I probably would not recommend it if you fancy a romantic and intimate night out, or if you value decor above food and value. The only reason I can't bring myself to give this place 5 stars is because the speed of service can suffer somewhat at peak times, but for me it is always worth the wait. My recommendations? The king prawn and sweetcorn soup (although i've been told the hot and sour soup is exceptional), the salt and pepper spare ribs (dry, but spicy and delicious), and the squid in szechuan sauce. If you live in Nottingham and love chinese food but haven't tried Mayfair, where have you been?!

No messing about going up to a buffet counter, just order with your server what dishes you would like next. Chicken Satay is excellent, as is the pork. In fact, all the dishes are cooked excellently and are very fresh. Don't go overboard on ordering dishes however! Also offer takeaways, of which I believe there is an offer along the lines of 3 dishes for £10, so long as one dish is a rice. A must visit for anyone in the area.

Strange…read morethat they had to switch the music on to create the atmosphere as it looked like they were alarmed that I had walk through their open door. Once I was sat down (so many empty seats to choose) I was brought a drinks menu that had certainly seen better days a food menu which just listed the options for the all you can eat and a poor attempt for prawn crackers. They looked like the ones you would get out of a bag at Tesco not the big light but crunchy ones I get in my local Chinese in Bristol. So on to the food to start I ordered salt and pepper squid which was actually rather nice however I made a mistake and ordered salt and pepper beef as well. The beef came out like pork crackling and was vary salty compared to the squid. For my main I thought I would go for something with a bit of zing so ordered Chicken in lemon sauce and pork and mushrooms. Pork and mushrooms were good however the chicken was battered, hard and crunchier and the sauce resembled lemon curd not nice. I had some egg fried rice with it and there was just something about it that didn't seem like my locals egg fried rice. It was like the rice had been over boiled and the egg was added at a later stage and I doubt neither components had been fried at all.
