We avoided the chocolate fountain as kids like to dip their fingers in it. Has a noisy atmosphere but that was no problem for us. The £4.95 cocktail I had lacked any oomph to it, as the cranberry and orange juice was not the best. We didn't come out hungry at all, and despite small niggles would go back again.

There is no buffet and you order the dishes you want from the menu. The starters and duck are top quality and very plentiful. You then order your main courses which again are very good quality. For this 3 course menu it works out at roughly £15 per person. Drinks are reasonably priced for a restaurant and I have been on many occasions and will return as often as the wife permits!!!! A very under rated restaurant that should be tried by all. You will become a regular customer.

Don't be put off by the £13.95 (I think!) all you can eat service. It isn't the usual help yourself buffet spooning food that has spent hours in chafing dishes. Instead, you order from an extensive a la carte menu, all the usual dishes you would expect in a Chinese plus some specials. I particularly like the sizzling dish Steak in a pungent sauce. Wonderful description and food! The food is high quality and freshly cooked to order. Clean linen tablecloths, chopsticks and bowls supplied if requested. Service is friendly and informal. Wash the food down with their wonderfully dark Syrah Rosé. I'm sure London has better Chinese restaurants but I haven't been to a better one in this price range in Kent yet.

I went to the Chinese Cottage with my wife and two friends just before Christmas. We were to meet…read moreour friends at 19:20 for a 19:30 meal, when booking the table my wife had been informed that they were very busy due to Christmas party bookings. As my wife and I live in Thorpe we arrived early before our friends expecting to wait for them in the bar area, however we were ushered directly to our seats as one of the party groups were all ready in the bar, we felt uncomfortable being seated at the table without our friends. This however, was the only downside of the evening, the food was excellent, the service was friendly albeit a liittle slow, the deserts were a little on the small side but when we jokingly pointed this out to the staff a free additional desert appeared. I always find chinese menus difficult, not knowing what to choose so I normally go for a set meal which I did on this ocassion, the set meals start from £18 each with a minimum of two ordering. All in all an excellent meal and I would recommend the Chinese Cottage to anyone, try it, you want be dissapointed.
We have eaten at the Chinese Cottage for many years but over time it has become poor value for…read moremoney with high prices, and the general level of cleanliness and decor has been completely neglected. The food is still quite good but if you like to eat late then you will be unlucky as we have been advised when trying to book a table for say 9pm that the Chef wants to go home by 10.00. The toilets are quite unacceptable, the gents has a very low pressure of water at the basin which results in a trickle of cold (no Hot) water barely enough to wash your hands, and the floor is more like going for a paddle! This I have experienced on more than one occasion. I addressed my concerns to the female manager, she responded with being too busy and not enough staff to clean. I tried to continue my conversation with her and she turned her back on me refusing to discuss the lack of basin water, let alone no hot running water or soap! Clearly there is a lack of proper management /front of house This restaurant is a heath hazard, it needs some investment in a complete makeover inside and outside, I don't even want to think about what the customer doesn't see in the kitchens etc! We will not be eating here again any time soon.

You have the option of ordering the meal you want, or you can order buffet style. But rather than going up with your plate to a buffet station, you order the buffet cooked fresh. They limit the amount you can order at a time (dependant on the number of people at the table) but you can always order again, it is all one price, and this prevents over-ordering and food being wasted! The food is always cooked fresh, lots of choice, absolutely lovely. It's been a while since we actually went to the restaurant, as having recently had a baby means we are not going out all that often! So we thought we'd try Beijing Inn's delivery service. So far we have not been disappointed. They are excellent on the phone, have delivered within the time they said every time so far. The food has always been wonderful - far better than the usual take away fare. I'd highly recommend them!
Lovely place. It's quite a large restaurant, and often busy…read more I used to live just up the street, and often ordered food from here. The staff usually let me have Tsing Tao beer to take away too, which was ideal.

The service was obliging but rushed and food was 'slapped down' as if there were an Olympic medal in line for the fastest waitress. I like prompt service but I'm not keen on having the plate snatched away as I am still chewing the last mouthful! As you will have gleaned, I ate the food - I'm a hungry chap - but that doesn't mean that I enjoyed it! Having said that, I guess it is a good place to take hungry and non-discriminatory teenagers. It should keep them quiet for a few minutes and recahrge their energy cells for a couple of hours. Just don't expect to enjoy it yourself if you like good food.

We like to eat with him at the table and Kalala is a brilliant place to do just this. They are generally very happy to see him when we arrive and always make a fuss, getting him a high chair and balloons to play with. He only eats a little and we have never been asked to pay for the bits we give him to eat. We have even had waitresses taking him for walks around the restaurant and giving him cuddles. The food is always nice, though doesn't seem to change as often as it used to. There are few variation between visits which has meant that we now don't go quite as often as we have in the past. They are always willing to bring out more food if you ask and I have been known to ask for something that wasn't even out and they will make me up some. I especially like to have plain boiled rice and they always bring me out a bowl full. It is never a problem. The desserts are nice too, I love having their ice cream. The drinks are waitress served so you never have to go and wait at the bar, they are well priced. All in all it is good value for money. The decore still looks good as it is well maintained, the bathrooms are always clean. The plates and cutley are always clean too, something that is often over looked in self service places I find. The plates are also kept warm which is a nice touch. At time it can get rather loud in there, it is a big building (an old banking hall) and so had a bit of an echo. This tends to be on a Friday and Saturday night.
