Buffet is no longer available, but good service, decent food. They have good noodle dishes for sure.

Quite possibly the worst Chinese buffet in London. They've somehow managed to make everything on the buffet taste like cardboard. On the outside this place looks like it represents decent value for money with some enticing prices advertised, however when you go in you find out those prices are only available sometimes. You could almost forgive this place for being a tourist trap except that it's quite out of the way and not the sort of place you'd get a lot of passing footfall. I genuinely don't get how they survive! Perhaps my experience was unique, but I wasn't the only one who felt this way. I went with a group of colleagues and we all agreed the place wasn't very good at all. It really did seem like it didn't matter what dish you chose from the buffet; they all tasted the same. I hope it was a one-off and that the place isn't normally like this, but if you do go there after reading this, you have been warned... read more

Impressed by the new chef, a lot better than before. This restaurant has been here for ages, it wasn't even on my 'interest list' to revisit until they changed to new management. The food are quite authentic Chinese northern food. Really enjoy it! They also deliver to Canary Wharf lunch box, emmm so handy! Love it! Really hope the new restaurant can be better place :) read more

See all

I've been a few times to Wings. The first time it was lovely, the food was good quality, fresh and generally tasted nice. However, more recently this doesn't seem to be the case. On my last visit most of the food seemed as if it had been sitting there for an hour, it was dry and looked unusual. A good thing is that they don't use MSG in their food which is nice to know because most chinese establishments do use MSG as a flavour enhancer. Also, some dishes are not available at lunch time but are only available for dinner (after the price per person increases). If you do go, make sure you get their early so that the food is fresher and it is less busy! read more

This chinese restaurant has recently been under new ownership. I have tried the new menu (not buffet) and the food quality is lovely. It is authentic northern style Chinese food, and really great value for money. I will definitely visit again! read more

Wings Buffet - Spicy chicken cold dish - Chinese Near Me - London, XGL

The buffet has recently come under new ownership and not for the better! Previously it had been a good cheap eat and the selection of food available had always been tasty. Now, the policy is that you pay before you eat (presumably to ward off complaints after you eat). The food seems to have gone down in quality and this venue is no longer value for money. The food seems to get replaced irregularly and the selection is a bit erratic (sticking in some random Indian dishes when they haven't got enough variety). The owner was pleasant and talkative but he needed to be as the food wasn't great. Usually at a buffet you eat a lot but the new system in place seems to be to reduce the quality and taste so you dont eat much at all read more

I've passed this place many times over many years without going in. In future I will do just that but with less curiosity. It's a Chinese buffet, but most of it, you just dont want to eat. The starters are OK, but the main courses are less distinguished. They may not use any MSG but they use enough salt to dry oceans, I came out of this place feeling completely dessicated. It's cheap but its not cheerful there is nowhere local to park, public transport is awkward, you have to squeeze past diners smoking in the doorway and the clientelle seem more soup kitchen than restaurant. read more

I have been to this buffet twice each time feeling completely stuffed! Not a great feeling but it is the joy of having buffet! This is quite a normal buffet place cheap and cheerful but with a twist! The food does not contain MSG (Mono Sodium Glutamate) which I am allergic to. Most food from Asian restaurants contain MSG and it quite a good to have dinner without them if possible. A normal buffet dinner is £8.95 drinks and you can eat all you want! A real deal! read more

I've been a few times over recent years and it's remained the same - great chinese food, cooked without MSG as a flavour enhancer, and you can eat all you want. The variety of dishes on offer varies every day, but you'll always find crispy duck and pancakes, singapore rice noodles, chicken wings, soups, spring rolls, vegetarian dishes, curries and meat in sauces. There's a dessert bar too, where you can pick up chinese style jellies (made around a base of cornflour and agar jelly - so are totally vegetarian!), ice cream, apple and banana fritter and fresh fruit. Prices start from around £6 per person for lunch during the week, and increase for dinner and at the weekend - however having said that it's only about £11 per person at the weekend for dinner! Definitely worth checking out, to save you some money and get a fill of yummy Chinese food. read more

Avoid this place if you like good food and good service. My local Chinese Buffet was closed for refurbishment, so having been to Wings quite a few years ago, and it not being too bad, I decided to go again for my Birthday... what a mistake. The plates are tiny, meaning you have to make many visits to the foo The food was very, very oily (not that many of the containers actually had food in). When asked when fresh food would be brought out, all we got was a shrug and "maybe in 5 to 10 minutes". They only brought out small amounts of fresh food at a time, so only 3-4 people were able to get a serving. Desert was non-existant. We actually waited 30 minutes for desert that never arrived, although they kept saying it would be out soon. Staff, never, EVER, asked if everything was OK (Which my local, which actually has Chinese staff, always do). read more

NEVER AGAIN! food was horrid, poor quality (4 minute noodles in a pack taste better) . took ten mins to get a glass of water (not even busy), found hair in the soup. i can cook better chinese in my invisible shed! would not eat here even if i was paid too! unhygienic staff read more

Until around early-2013 this used to be a pretty good Chinese buffet operation, run by helpful Chinese people and providing reasonably good food at a sensible price. The spareribs used to be sticky and tasty, the shredded duck for the hoi sin and pancakes still had some pieces of skin, as it is supposed to, and in general the food tasted as if there had been a competent cook involved. However, more recently, say from mid-2013, there seems to have been a change of management and a very marked deterioration in the food on offer. Several vaguely curry-ish items have appeared; shortly after the change of management all the pork items disappeared, which didn't suggest the new owners had nuch of a Chinese background. In early 2014 I made the mistake of visiting again to see if last year's visit had been a one-off glitch. If anything things had got worse. The pancakes were stuck together, the duck appeared to have been minced and was tasteless and, though so-called spareribs were back, they were dry and bore no resemblance to any Chinese sparerib I've met. All the food was either cold or tepid and looked as if it had been left there for a long time. No wonder! I am surprised that the place manages to stay in business and I'd advise anyone to stay away till it reverts to providing something approaching decent Chinese food. read more

1 star is far too many stars for this 'restaurant'. I honestly feel rather quite terrified of chinese food now. Service was slow and rather rude...we felt like we were being rushed even though we were the first customers of the day. The food itself was extremely tasteless, much like a buffet of grass. Unfortunately the price doesn't do justice to the woes that the food brings. The inside is dark and makes me feel like I'm in a dungeon being force fed stale chinese food. Stay away guys. read more

Just got back from Wings restaurant in East India Dock Rd E14 and i must say that since it changed management it has gone rapidly downhill. I used to eat there a lot and would have given it 5 stars anyday. Now i will never go there again after today. Firstly they have posters outside saying £6.50 before 5pm so we got there at 4.30pm and was charged £9.95 and when we questioned it we was told that they had placed some of the dinner menu items out, like we're supposed to know that!! The staff we're rude and generally didn't care. Some of the food was cold and not very nice. Please take heed and do not go to this restaurant there are so many better ones nearby. read more

My father gave a surprised birthday last January 26,2014 at this restaurant.. It was really an unforgettable experienced because all of my friends were there.. all I can say about this restaurant is good because they improved a lot in terms of foods, service and place.. the roast pork, roast duck, spare ribs are really delicious and tasty. also the different varieties of menus.. keep up the good work..see you this coming sunday.. read more

This has to be the WORST Chinese buffet ever!!! Food is cheap and horrible and a severe lack of meat.The prices are way over priced for what it is.3 star hygiene rating now I can see why...Filthy inside and they try to charge for babies to eat (My daughter is 1) drinks (coke) are charged at £2.95 from a bottle!!! Desert looked disgusting offering chopped brown Apple that looked like it had been there for days chopped orange with thousands of fruit flies for free!!! Stay away read more

Wings is not bad for a chinese buffet most of the food was quite tasty though I did also remember there were several dishes that were by no means great which put me off going here regularly. I think like most buffets the quality and freshness of the food on offer really depends on the time that u visit and how busy it is. The food seems nicer and fresher in the evenings, on the one occasion I visited earlier in the afternoon it was very obvious that about half of the dishes available tasted as though they were simply either cooked much earlier and reheated or just been reheated from the night before. The price depending on what time you arrive can also be somewhat confusing and they quite cleverly advertise the word 'from' in the window with the lowest price next to it. All in all if u are really hungry and have little expectations its not a bad option is also not far from the more expensive choices in Canary Wharf. read more
