Brilliant. A good range of chinese foods and a range of english foods for kids (pizza, sausage, chips etc). During early afternoons there is plenty of seating as the lunchtime rush has gone. The food is excellent and really good price. Expect to pay about £20 for a couple including a large fizzy drink each. They also sell beers but I have not drank there. Next door is a large pub if you fancy a proper beer afterwards. The only drawback is that there is not much parking. If you are coming from Nottingham then perhaps try the May Sum there which is easy walking distance from Royal Centre Tram Stop.

Been here several times. A Smorgasbord of Deeelicious Chinese dishes. Eat all you can for the price but be warned as a single bottle of water will set you back £3.50! 🤪

The choice of food dishes is limited to Chinese food, however each dish is of high quality and completely authentic. The teppanyaki stand is a nice feature of the buffet and is very impressive to watch. Food prices are fair for what you get and it is nice and quiet compared to other nearby buffets which have a high volume of customers and very cramped seating. This is the perfect all you can eat buffet for somebody who enjoys a nice quiet meal, at a low cost, and loves Chinese food.

Fantastic for the money. It may not be Michelin dining but then again the price isn't. 8.95 on a Sunday. Most others on a Sunday for buffet is double. All food was hot and tasted authentic. Highly recommended

If you want real Chinese, May Sum really is very good. There was a wide choice including 'casserole' type dishes which were just like I have eaten in Central China many times. I lived in various parts of China for 4 years. If I'm wanting a meal when I visit Derby again I would definitely go there.

Nice place to go for your tried and true Chinese Takeaway favourites. Nowhere near as much variety as some places but the quality of food is better here and £5 cheaper, nowhere near as busy either, no need to wait for tables.

I like MAY SUM! Much better than than classic fast food junk. At least we have proper food, which can be recognised, vegetables and fruit! The Derby restaurant is to appreciate for space and atmosphere.

Party of 4 visited today and we all really enjoyed it. The food is absolutely delicious and hot and fresh. I had read some of the previous reviewers and was sceptical but I would definitely recommend it. Will be going again soon.
