Buffet is a misleading term, what you are presented with is a menu of every Chinese starter you can possibly think of, yes that includes crispy duck! You can order as many dishes as you like before moving to your main (if you have space left) and another great selection of dishes. This 'buffet' only costs £15 a head and the staff are accommodating, friendly and fantastically welcoming. Thoroughly recommended!

Wait to be seated and you pay at the end There was a decent number of dishes but I think there is room for more if they choose to do so. I asked one of the staff of the lunch and dinner offerings are different. She said the number of dishes is the same but the dishes themselves do vary I do pity the chefs who have to make food look and taste presentable after being under heating lights or in warming plates for hours. Some of the food here did look a bit gloopy on our arrival but the kitchen did replenish often and the fresh food was a lot more appealing The menu here was quite generic. My favourite dishes were the spare ribs, green lip mussels and the king prawns. Dessert portions were tiny though you could of course take as many as you wanted but I opted for the fresh fruit - melon, orange and pineapple Good value if a little generic

We headed off to Lyndhurst on a spur-of-the-moment whim for an overnight stay at the weekend -…read morehungry after a long walk in the beautiful New Forest, we took a gamble after looking at their menu as we passed by and made a reservation for that evening. The restaurant was very busy when we walked in, a few minutes early: we were invited to take a seat while our table was made ready, which gave us a moment to look at the delicious Szechuan menu again. We were shown to a lovely table in the middle of the restaurant, up close to the wall so we didn't have people brushing past continuously, bang on our reservation time! We selected a random bottle of wine from the menu (an Italian rose) which was very nice. We elected to start with wan-tun soup and grilled dumplings, which came out piping hot and absolutely delicious. The grilled dumplings were so moorish that we could happily have tucked into another plateful! We chose crispy beef with sweet-piquant sauce and panfried squid in blackbean sauce as our mains, accompanied by steamed rice and Yung Chow fried rice (containing meat and prawns). There was a nice lull in between our starters and main dishes being served which gave us time to enjoy our wine and savour the flavours from the starters more fully. The main courses were exceptional - not only in terms of quality, but also quantity! Lovely tender strips of beef were served in a delicate sweet-peppery sauce which was the perfect companion to the Yung Chow fried rice; my partner was very pleased with his panfried squid (again, plentiful quantity) and found the blackbean sauce quite fiery, although still very tasty and not offputting at all. We found the service to be very swift and courteous - the only things we could possibly find fault with was (a) after the first pouring of wine we were left to do it ourselves (not that we minded!), (b) we left the restaurant without being bid farewell, and (c) critically - the smokers stood outside the front door of the restaurant and as it was a fairly warm evening, the door was left wide open and the smoke blew in constantly. Not nice if you are a non-smoker! The food was exceptional; I think this definitely comes into our top 3 Chinese restaurants in the UK. We will definitely return again to the Imperial China next time we are visiting the area - well worth a visit, in our opinion.

They also do a take away menu which seems to be popular but we haven't tried it yet.

When we go out to eat we normally argue over Indian or Chinese food so this was perfect as it has both!! Situated above the new Buddha Bar which used to be Natraj indian Restuarant, in the Beford place area. The decor inside is very modern and upmarket and looks really nice, it has a nice atmosphere and the service is good. On the two occasions we have been be have opted for the buffet which is half indian and half chinese. On both occasions the food has been wondeful. Both sets of food have obviously been cooked by someone who knows what they are doing and there is a good range. Chinese wise i remember there being - Steamed rice, fried rice, chow mein, sweet and sour chicken, beef in black bean sauce, pekinf duck, another main dish, spring rolls, prawn toasts, prawn crackers and a few other bits. Indian - Pilau rice, onion bahji, pakoras, naan bread, korma, tikka, another hotter curry, popadoms and then salad. The only downside to this is the expensive price which was around £17.00. I know it is a mixed buffet but for southampton this is a bit high. However i think this will go down as there were not many people in there. Drinks were also not cheap. Worth a go if you have the cash tho!
