I love Chinese food, the combinations of sweet and sour, plenty of sauce and excessive choices... That's why finding a cheap and good buffet was in top ten priorities as soon as I moved too London. Hong Kong buffet was my first choice, and I decided to stick to it, and I was a regular visitor there for a while. I didn't mind paying slightly more than it's rivals were charging just to have slightly more certainty in the general hygiene of this place and freshness of the food. Definitely wasn't disappointed. The food selection is quite generous, with plenty of chicken dishes. The plates were clean and warm, and the service was quite pleasant as well. Unlike many buffets, this one does serve tap water. The food was generally quite good, and not too greasy. Spring rolls, buns and prawns are definitely my favorites, not to mention all the chicken and pork! read more

Terrible service Food quality is extremely poor quality. Staff was rude and treated you like a prisoner while eating your food. Never come back. Disgusting experience! read more

Low quality food and weak selection. Waitress was a bit short with us. Only reason for the 2 star is that they accept card. read more

we went to go eat here but was turned away due to having a disabled child with us. They are a discriminatory business that does not allow disabled people to come into their business if they are tube fed read more

**DO NOT EAT HERE** I got a terrible DIARRHEA during all my trip in Europe. It's been 2 months and my stomach is still bad with diarrhea. Do not ruin your trip because of this cheap food! read more

A few church friends and I popped in here for lunch this afternoon. Yes, it's a generic buffet restaurant aimed at the tourists and non adventurous. However, it met our needs - reasonable food at a reasonable price and somewhere to rest our feet for a leisurely lunch. The food choice didn't throw up any great surprises but the beef brisket curry was unusual and nice. I did also eat a lot of galia melon for dessert. Be aware that the headline price of £9.95 will be bolstered by 10% service charge and drinks are on the pricey side (£1.50 for Chinese tea, anyone?) although they do give you tap water if requested without any attitude. Also, it's cash only. There are cheaper buffets in Chinatown but this was A-OK read more

Hong Kong Buffet - Chinese Near Me - London, XGL

See all

During our trip to London, my husband and I went to Chinatown in search of a good Chinese restaurant. Since we forgot to get recommendations from my cousin who resides in London, hubby and I decided to go by visual and price appeal. HongKong Buffet's food choices looked inviting, the buffet price seemed reasonable but we still decided to check nearby restaurants for comparison. We ended up choosing this place because their food choices seemed more appealing to our palate. We were not disappointed. The food was good....especially the fried shrimp! It wasn't the best Chinese buffet we've ever been to, but it wasn't so bad either. We would not mind dining here again. read more

It's not terrible, it's not great. I'm sure there are worse, more unhygenic all you can eat buffet restaurants around Chinatown but this isn't one of the best. Hong Kong Buffet is on the edge and one of the first you hit if walking up from Leicester Square. The price is slightly higher than it's rivals but the food is exactly the same. Dishes are replenished regularly but the quality is pretty average. I quite enjoyed the task of fishing for the pieces of chicken in the sweet and sour chicken sauce. If fishing is your thing then this place is definitely for you as dishes are generally low on meat, high on sauce. The decor is in need of an update and is fairly drab (even more so than it's local rivals). I realise this is an all you can eat restaurant and not Hakkasan but there are better all you can eat buffets around Chinatown so if you have an extra minute or two, keep on walking... read more

Totally the worst Chinese food I've ever had! I had it earlier today at around 6 pm. Fried rice isn't even fried rice at all. Its just a tasteless piece of crap. The worst part is that their fried chicken wings were very salty!! And the meat was straight up color red like what the hell. Honestly the only thing there that is good is the prawns. Everything else in there besides the prawns suck ass. Never gonna come back there and PLEASE FOR ANYONE CRAVING CHINESE FOOD DO NOT GO THERE. read more

1/5 and Im being generous. Before you roll your eyes and paint me as some grumpy cheap guy, allow me to give some context: I work in the service industry, my workplace is not even 5 minutes walking distance from this one. I am well aware from countless first hand experiences how hard the work can be, especially during peak times. I am also well aware of the wages that these guys will be getting. It'll be low, exactly the same as mine. I wish I'd get more than I do (I only get paid for my shifts, the marketing I do on a daily basis is completely unpaid, as are the semi regular Quizes which I write and host) but I am fully aware that is not how the world works and as such, I have never expected one. But to the actual review; When we walked in, I saw how limited the selection was, but the fact that it was all you can eat and under a tenner each negated this fact. However, my vegetarian friend pointed out that as limited as my choices were, hers were much more so, nonetheless we decided to press on. When we sat down to eat, I noticed the utensils did have slight water stains still on them but on the plus side, that is an indicator they were at least washed (if not thoroughly dried). While I'm not an expert in the cuisine of the Far East, what I am sure of is how much quality I think is in food. Every selection on my plate was painfully average and most tasted undercooked. I know this is a buffet and so looking for Michellin star quality is asking a bit much but seeing as every other Chinese buffet in the area easily betters on this front (particuarlly Mr Wus on Shaftesbury Avenue - no, I don't work there), I don't find it unreasonable to seek good food, even at fairly low prices. After we finished our meals, my friend and myself tried asking for some tap water. After trying to no avail for 5 minutes, my friend finally managed to get the attention of a member of staff by going and getting the jug HERSELF (their job). Then it came time to get the bill. It was at this time that I noticed how cramped and inaccessible virtually the whole place would be to a wheelchair user. The guy who brought it seemed in attentive, however I am fully aware that in the service industry, staff do have lives outside of work, so that may be a problem for some, but I was prepared to let that slide. He added a discretionary service charge at the bottom of our bill, it was only small, but given the lacking service above, my friend and I were not really in favour of paying it, especially as we had basically provided all the watering service, all they had done was under Cook their food. The manager was adamant we paid this discretionary charge. I tried to explain to him that I have a job in the service industry, would love being tipped, but I don't complain that I never get one, but he decided to ignore me entirely in favour of telling me friend that if we did not pay the £1.90 discretionary excess, we should never come back. No matter how good the food provided is (and it was not even close to that here), I would say that customer service which lacks this much means I am left with a very bitter taste in my mouth. If I could give out a 0/5, I would. read more

If you're looking for a cheap all you can eat Chinese buffet, this is your place. For £12 you get all you can eat with sweat and sour chicken, chow mein, rice, vegetable rolls, onion rings, beef, etc. Don't expect the best Chinese food you'd ever had since it's a buffet but if you just want a good amount of food and are in the mood for Chinese, this is your place. read more

Worst Chinese ever! The food was so dry and tasteless. Dessert was cheese and orange, and the bottled coke was warm. Absolutely vile expected prawn toast but instead had what they call chicken bread.... it was bread fried in the chicken oil used previously. There were about 6 dishes 5 of which were vile. Driest food I've ever eaten!!! 0 stars read more

If I could put 0 I would !! The worst "restaurant" ever ! I'm sick because If they food , the staff are really bad If you want to live old dont go !!! read more

They forced £2 for a tip, like who does that? ... The rice wasn't warm. The chicken was enjoyable tho, aswell as the sweet&sour chicken

This is probably the worst Chinese I have ever had, the meat was undercooked and over all tastes disgusting, the prawn toast leaked with oil and fat and the noodles and rice were very cold. The tables and chairs were dirty, and overall the room seemed very humid and sweaty especially as we had to sit so close to other tables. £10.95 is usually a good price for London however this was truly a waste of money. I would not recommend this place at all. read more

I went to hong kong buffet yestaday , as i went to london with my family.We were going to go to a buffet as a cheap allterinve to a restaurant Although we were extremlly dissaponited. The food was OK but it was very gressy and salty.The waiter and sevice was awfull (do they know how to be nice) they were very grummpy and rude.I was shocked at the 10% sevice charge when they were that rude and it was a BUFFET. The cleaniless was the worst. The place was not CLEAN AT ALL. The floor was coverd in dirt and dust and the table was exreamly sticky.To top it all off i found a hair in my food (in the curry ) and it wasnt mine!The faciltes were not so good as you had to walk about 3mins to toliet and they were horrible and dirty too! The price was 9.95 for a buffet . Very pricey for what it was. Not including 2.50 , for a coke!! + the sevice charge. After hong kong buffet , we saw MR WU which was alot cheaper (5.50) and much more busy, maybe try their. DONT GO HONG KONG read more

Went to Hong kong Bufffet. What a disappointement ! Food were cold due to buffet being near the door. The quality and variety were poor for £9.99. You could get cheaper for £4.95 around the corner. A let down for chinesse food. read more

The restaurant was poor. The food was cold and the chicken was uncooked and looked like it had been sitting there all day without being refreshed. The customer service by the waitress' was also very poor, after being offered coke and only coke. She pointed us towards the food and mumbled something under her breathe. Once we tried to give some constructive criticism to the workers about the cold food. They immediately called the manager to us who was extremely rude and told us he didn't want our custom in his restaurant any longer. He began to shout and us making a scene and demanded we still pay full whack. Which I fact was £25 for 2 people. I definitely do not recommend this restaurant to anyone as there are many other cheaper, cleaner, nicer and more polite places to eat in Chinatown. read more

I've been here with a group once, and I was absolutely disappointed in what I ate over there. Not only was the food barely prepared, but I also found a hair in my rice! Bloody hell, it was horrible. read more
