"Amazing food for a great price. Very friendly and helpful staff too."
"Good food, good spread on offer still feels a bit too clinical but there is a lot included in the buffet."
Cons:
"However, among the food, pork dumplings smelled like meat, duck meat and noodles, duck cucumbers, and fried rice were too dry."
"Honestly the worst all you can eat Chinese I have ever been to, the food was so watery and bland."
"Pretty shoddy quality, food often not replaced (been here for an hour and no pork dumplings)."
"The food was a greasy, unappetizing mess, with no freshness to speak of."
"Not much choice at all, staff standing looking at you at the end of lunch 'when are you leaving' vibes."
"Honestly disgusting i went there on the 3rd october 2023 for dinner with my fiancé and the chicken was raw, the beef was too chewy."
"Awful experience.if I could give no stars I would. Charged £8 for a two year old child, food tasteless, bland and not much choice."
"Food wasn’t all labelled, looked as if half the population of Kingston had got there first. Cold food, kept being stared at!"
Price and Value
Pros:
"Very good value and is a conscientious business, for £15.99 (£14.99 Mon to Thur), elsewhere you might get one plate of fried rice or noodles sit in for this price."
"There is nothing not to love about this place, great range of food... and at £14.99 on weekdays it's really a bargain."
"Food choice is good and more than enough, even if people say that not enough food choices. Good price, for drinks."
"Came here for mid week lunch and arrived shortly after opening at 12:00. The wine and food both were very competitively priced."
"This place is GREAT i love their food better, more variety on the weekend with more desserts but lunch time weekday better value £10 all you can eat."
"Always a fast and easy place to go to, and with affordable prices. Great for when you've been to bowling in the Rotunda downstairs or the cinema on the same level."
"Good food and price. Really liked the rice and quality of the chicken dishes."
"For the money, it's worth it; they have two types of buffets, one for lunch and one for dinner."
Cons:
"For a buffet, I expected more, not bad though. Guess I'll try another time of the day."
"This place needs to be shut down was such a shame because before it used to be decent - Also if you're not going to have the grill working you shouldn't be charging £16.99 just wow for that price."
"The atmosphere is nice and the staff are friendly. However, there was not much option in terms of food especially for the price you are paying."
"The quality has been going down for a while... Food is exactly the same for the past 3 years (or even less choices) Food area constantly empty and price higher."
"I was quite contented and enchanted by main and dessert menus at Kungfu Buffet in Kingston Upon Thames... In the UK, unfortunately visiting buffet restaurants is the best/ultimate option since British cuisines have still and not yet satisfied me on appetite and prices."
"Honestly disgusting i went there on the 3rd october 2023 for dinner with my fiancé and the chicken was raw, the beef was too chewy and i had to spit it out into a napkin."
"Awful experience.if I could give no stars I would. Charged £8 for a two year old child, food tasteless, bland and not much choice."
"Went here last night with some family and friends, the service was absolutely disgusting it was like we was being watched and spoken about."
