Food was fantastic. Took my vegan niece to the to-order buffet and there were plenty of options for us both to choose from. Service and food was great will definitely come again.

We came in on a Monday afternoon and it was very empty. We sat down and the menus were given to us. We planned to have a hot pot although it wasn't in the menu. We had to ask the waitress for a separate menu which we didn't know. There wasn’t really much hotpot broth choices. We ordered a few types of different meats, and when it came it was all frozen which was very disappointing. As no where on the menu was this stated and we had assumed everything would be fresh. We went for a mix of the spicy and vegetable broths, the spicy one just seemed to be a mixture of chillies and salt, it had no real soup flavouring other than heat and being extremely salty. The vegetable one wasn’t awful flavorwise but still not good. On the menu you can choose between ‘beef slices’ or ‘fresh beef slices’ which seem to get you the same frozen beef either way.
This was the second time we have eaten at this restaurant and it did not disappoint. We live in Oxford and came to Reading to do some errands. I really don’t understand the bad reviews at all. The food is amazing, by far the best we have ever had in the UK. It’s made fresh and comes hot and delicious. The staff are very nice and friendly. We never had the hotpot so don’t know what’s it’s like but the buffet is fantastic and I highly recommend it!
Noodles was extremely soft and texture like they overcook instant noodles in WATER for 2 hours. The marinated chicken in spicy sauce something like that, it got no flavour at all, the only flavour I could taste is the reused oil they used, taste exactly like the reused oil people use in Taiwan. If you are thinking, \oh the photos look good though\ then go ahead and you will be the next one leaving one star.
Eat in wasn't busy but they sent out quite a few deliveries. Was a set price of 18:90 I think but you could order what you wanted off of a 2 sided menu as long as you didn't waste it. Go properly hungry to make the most of it.
