China Brasserie is situated at the far end of Haywards heath just across from the main high street.
They are a fairly large restaurant that also offers a take away service. Their main pull is an eat as much as like menu that costs £10 per person. Rather than a buffet, there is a set menu with a selection of starters you can choose from and also a range of main dishes.
I went there with a friend and we tucked into 2 plates of starters (always the best bit of Chinese food in my opinion) and then a round of mains. The selection is not quite as broad ranging as some of the other restaurants in town offering a similar deal, but the food is well cooked and the staff are extremely polite and helpful. I would have liked to have seen some seafood main dishes and perhaps the option for crispy duck for a slight extra charge. The wine list is passable and reasonably priced at standard restaurant rates.
The decor is a little strange though and they have elected to hang a number of paintings of Oriental women in various attire that look a little like the work of an impressionist on a bad day. On a plus side, there is also a massive fish tank stocked with a number of interesting tropical fish.
All in all, a good place to come and get a nice amount of food for a reasonable price, but I would warn that you shouldn't order more than you can handle, as they will charge on any uneaten dishes. read more
