The concept is quite simple…read more.. Pay your money and eat until you throw up. Buffets usually can be famed for the fact you are not paying for incredibly delicious meals, but rather for somewhere to stuff your face until you find it hard to move and then complain in the taxi home until you fall asleep on the sofa. To me, this is a waste of time. Why bother eating to the point that you cannot taste anything anymore? Food is supposed to be enjoyed, nor gorged. For £7.80, you could get a nice lunch meal somewhere else, complete with a glass of wine. Here, you get fat people podging their way up to fill their plates with as much food as possible, before they wedge themselves into some straining little seat and then tip the plate into the abyss that scientists call their face. The food is not too bad but that is irrelevant. The point of this place is to eat and eat and eat and eat until you think "anymore eating will make me vomit" and then you roll your way home. It's a disgusting idea and no matter what choice and quality the food is, to open a restaurant whose sole purpose is to be a buffet defeats the point of a restaurant. There is no pleasure and no reason for me to ever return.

The concept is an all you can eat buffet, with various prices depending on the time of day and day of the week. Having spent all my money on retail therapy, I love to go to China King to get a great meal without spending too much more! The choice of food is amazing and more importantly, the quality is equally good, which isn't always the case in all you can eat places. You can have soup, duck pancakes (yum!) and a huge choice of starters before you have even hit the main course! After a brief break, its time to take your choices from chicken, vegetarian, fish and meat main courses, along with rice, chips, noodles, prawn crackers and bread. If you haven't actually exploded, there is still dessert to come. Anyone for chocolate cake, ice cream, banana fritters or (somewhat bizarrely) apple strudel? If you're really struggling by this stage, you could I suppose opt for some of the fresh fruit on offer but I prefer the 'in for a penny in for a pound' approach! Service is brisk but friendly and if you're really on a tight budget, the waiters will happily bring you tap water without smirking or glaring at you. Otherwise there is a full bar with very reasonable prices. China King is always busy but turnover is pretty quick and I have never waited longer than a few minutes for a table. It's popular with couples, families, students and large groups and parties, so that would be everyone then! And yes, you really can go back up to the buffet as many times as you want!

A good mix of Chinese and European dishes that caters for most palates, though I have to say I would struggle to find something spicy enough to suit mine. It is strange that I would single out Fountain House from the other multitude of Chinese takeaways in Belfast, but I have to say it deserves to be. It does a delivery service that never takes much longer than thirty minutes to arrive at your door, although you have to be within a 3 mile radius of the place to avail of this, and incur the nominal 50p delivery charge. However, if you call ahead to place an order for collection you could be eating within fifteen minutes, and that's pretty convenient.

We bought four main take away meals here: chicken fried rice, 3 out of 10, salt & chilli chicken,…read more1 out of 10 and truly awful with small over - battered bits of chicken; salt & chilli king prawn, 4 out of 10 and pork chop 5 out of 10. As we bought four mains we got two free starters from a limited selection; a sesame prawn toast (3 triangle pieces) 2 out of 10 and a crispy seaweed 4 out of 10. The branch has gone down hill pretty badly. And as if the food here wasn't poor enough I'm becoming so weary with a growing trend among Chinese and some Indian restaurants that want only cash by claiming to have problems with their credit card machines and I don't believe a word of it. I've been using these cards half a lifetime with almost no difficulty all that time anywhere for instance in the third world, at 40,000 feet in the air or on a ship 1,600 miles from the nearest land without a hitch. Yet in the last week I've encountered two Chinese and one Indian restaurant all alleging card machine issues. It's cheapskate tactics to avoid a charge already built - in to the prices or worse a tax dodge. These places also won't take a cheque. Time to start refusing my hard earned money to such crooks. It was a stormy day and blowing a gale as we drove into the car park. It's been quite a time since we last were here. We arrived just at lunch time opening at noon. The place was quite cosy when we went in. A flat screen tv on the wall was on with the sound turned down. It had the text displayed. Kenny Rodgers sang in the background throughout. We were the only two sit-in guests the whole time that we were there, although a few folk came in for takeaway food. There's a two course special lunch menu at £8.50, but if you opt for a king prawn or a squid main courses another £3 is added. There's a price hike for duck mains too. The two course lunch selection didn't have one of the dishes we wanted (salt & chilli pork chop) so we had a quarter crispy duck with (6) pancakes for two as a starter. The pancakes were microwaved not steamed. So three of the six pancakes were hard because they were microwaved for too long. We had the salted chilli pork, fried rice and a salt & chilli king prawn and boiled rice. Microwaved pancakes aside most of the food was really very good indeed with a great balance of chilli heat in the mains. The portions were ok, not generous. The service was reasonably prompt and the chap serving was pleasant and welcoming. The food bill came in about £24. Borderline four star.

Before the karoke machine was turned on. The setting is spectacular - this is a large building right on the edge of the River Bann, so ask when you are booking for a window table and you'll have a stunning view as you eat and drink. The interior of the restaurant is just as impressive - a large, high ceiling room with a giant chandelier in the centre. So, what about the food? It certainly lives up to the setting. I would describe this as upmarket Chinese food rather than the kind of place to grab your Friday night sweet and sour. The prices reflect the setting and the quality and for special occasions I am more than happy to pay them. On our last visit I had satay chicken skewers and seaweed, both of which were top notch. I than had shredded chilli beef which I also loved, and the husband had king prawns in yellow bean sauce which I felt obliged to try and also really liked. We had side orders of special fried rice and noodles and I could have eaten either of these on their own. I was pleased to see that there is a tea time special menu at £9.95 for 3 courses which is outstanding value given the quality of food and the lovely service you get. Can't wait until the next time we go back.

Also there was a comical sign on the window saying, 'Don't stand on the sofa or knock the window' - not sure what's gone on in the past but it was pretty quiet this evening. We ordered a salted chilli chicken dish with 2 sides and it was absolute perfection. Filling and flavoursome. The price wasn't too bad either. £9.20 for all this! I was impressed.
