Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Really enjoy this lunchtime buffet now costing £12 per person.Great chicken and sweetcorn soup with prawn crackers followed by a choice of Dim sums.Chicken satay and ribs very good.On to the main courses of which there is a good selection with tasty sauces.The only thing...missing is yuk sung which I find missing from many restaurants in this area. If we were not driving we would love a bottle of wine and to visit on an evening when duck and maybe prawns would be on. My husband tried the lamb curry which he enjoyed as he doesn’t get it at home as I hate curry. Very nice outlook over the water and able to choose your own table not in the sun. Dessert just melon and tinned fruit,no cake or cookies. Roll on February when we visit again.More

Been wanting to visit for years as it’s always looked cool when passing & finally decided on a last minute visit, looks good from outside, inside rather dated, food was just ok, left full but didn’t enjoy it, needs more than just vanilla ice cream...for dessert apart from a bit of melon & pretty much empty tinned fruit salad. I didn’t use the toilet but my family members did & they weren’t impressed.More

Another Weymouth visit and another meal at The Gurkha. We visit four or five times every year and have never been disappointed. Plenty of choice, hot and tasty. The price has steadily crept up but it's still the best value in town. We'll be back...soon.More

Beware taking a baby into the restaurant, we had a £2 charge added to the bill even though a 12 month old didn't eat anything,this was queried and swiftly taken off although they didn't seem pleased to do it .

We've been meaning to come here for a couple of years and finally made it. It's the same as many other oriental buffets, some Chinese style and some sub-continent style. Found one dish that I liked a lot, Nepalese Lamb Curry - and all the...workers on their break seemed to like that one too!More

Booked table for 6 people at 6:30pm Excellent choice of food from buffet. Everything tasted great and was fresh and plentiful. Service was brilliant. Our used plates were taken away as soon as finished with. We were told we had 90 mins time to complete...our meal there. But that was just the amount of time it actually took - so was OK. Would definitely return - Good buffet experience. Food all tasted good. Can recommend.More

Booked a table for friends for 7.30 pm . Waited to be seated for 40 minutes before a table was available. Cleaned table in front of us which was filthy and looked like old wallpaper tables . Food mess left over the floor and chairs.... Table mats were best put in the bin and everything else was filthy. Very poor quality of buffet food and not kept topped up. Choice for dessert was vanilla ice cream which was rock hard! Avoid this restaurant!More

We spent a weekend in weymouth and had a meal in this restaurant. It was on a lovely setting on the river . It is an all you can eat buffet style in a large restaurant. We didn't need to book although it was very...busy being a Friday night. The service was friendly and prompt. There was a good selection of food including some Indian but mainly Chinese. The food was fresh and delicious. Very little choice if you want dessert. Only vanilla ice cream melon and fruit cocktail. Over all we enjoyed our meal a lot.More

I think the restaurant is accessible - it’s very near the carpark and inside there are no steps - the staff are very friendly and will help I’m sure if there are difficulties at the entrance. I hope this helps.
