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.

We have visited from Leicester a few times and are never disappointed. It is fantastic value for money and there is such a large selection of dishes (even at lunch time where it's only £12.99 per person). The interior is lovely and the place is...clean and staff are friendly and efficient. Hot is always being replenished and is nice and hot. Highly recommend this buffet :)More

Visited Friday night for the first time and wowed by the food and service- what a fab place! So much delicious food- everything you could think of and available in a serve yourself buffet. Constantly topped up and freshly made, plus grilling stations and noodle...bar. Wonderful vegetarian options too. It got really busy throughout the evening but was never uncomfortable or silly in the buffet area and was actually a great compliment to the restaurant that so many people appreciate good quality food and service. The staff worked so hard to keep everywhere clean and tidy. Well done Golden Phoenix. We’ll definitely be back!More

Wow this place is amazing, the best chinese buffet i have ever seen and in a spotlessly clean environment. We were walmly welcomed by the staff on reception and we were shown straight to the table. There is a vast amount of food to choose...from that is hard to decide where to start. There were a choice of starters, mains and deserts, there is no Chinese dish you won't find here, it's a good opportunity to try new dishes without being committed to having large portions of it like you would a takeaway. I was certainly impressed and I am a very fussy eater. You won't be disappointed I'm sure but if you are I am not sure why. All the staff are very friendly and look like they enjoy their job, the price was only £17.00 a head too, bargain.More
