Lovely selection of warm tasty dishes .Good deserts too.Very good value and you can eat as much as you want .I have never seen such a large collection of different foods at a Chinese Buffet. Sadly the resturant and toilets need a major deep clean. There are dirty chairs and very dusty woodwork,and sticky floor. Also there needs to be more space between the tables.You are almost sitting on someones lap to eat . However I would come here again as I thoroughly enjoyed my lunch.

I got here by chance and I will always come back, for little money, you eat as much as you want: hot lunch, ice cream, salads. Drinks priced up to a max of £3.00. I recommend but the service could be friendlier

I enjoyed many times that I have been to this buffet restaurant. I especially love the atmosphere of the place, which is buzzing with people enjoying time together. The buffet selection is good and the quality is what you would expect from a buffet restaurant. The staff are friendly and accommodating.

Visited years ago, buffet, felt like there was only fried food on offer. Gave it a second chance as I love Chinese food. Walked in, refurbed! Felt like the space had been opened up, very busy, good selection of food, parking close by. Staff are very helpful and friendly, reasonably priced for a buffet. My only comment is that the buffet could be labelled more.

May Sum restaurant offers an exceptional Chinese buffet experience that pleasantly surprised me with its affordability and outstanding taste. Initially skeptical due to the low prices, I was proven wrong—the quality was superb. The variety is extensive, from white rice and fried rice to a diverse selection of vegetables, noodles, pork, chicken, beef, and fish. The inclusion of chocolate fondue, salads, jell-o, and fruits left no culinary desire unmet. Despite the bustling atmosphere and a full house, the staff efficiently found us a seat. The service was consistently excellent, marked by speed and attentiveness. May Sum impresses not only with its affordability but also with the dedication to serious and delicious cooking. It's a haven for those seeking a delightful and budget-friendly Chinese buffet experience without compromising on taste and service.

First time here, me and my 9yo daughter. The food was lovely and my daughter tried so many different foods. Atmosphere very relaxing. Staff were polite and no one were rude there like I was reading in previous comments. And total bill was only £25 for two of us including two large glasses of juice and one latte. Yes we paid before serving as it is a rule here which I respect, I have not a problem with that. Feel like had totally different experience than some people and definitely will come back 😉 definitely recommend

Reviews here haven't been that great over the last few months and we almost decided on going elsewhere. To start with I will agree the place could do with a major spruce up it is looking tired in places . The staff I never see any of them smile they just looked like they was going through there daily routine almost like they was bored and never asked if we was enjoying the food or if we wanted another drink which if they did would surely get takings up ? Now on to the food ....... The food isn't that bad to be fare , we enjoyed it if where being honest. If you catch it right when there putting new dishes out it's all fresh and hot . The rice dishes were very nice the noodle dishes good , the chicken balls were some of the nicest I've had in a long time with a excellent golden colour obviously cooked in clean fresh oil , smoked shredded chicken was very good to and the two choices of ribs also good . The only moan about the food is that the little signs above the dishes telling you what's what some were wrong . One said saute chicken and when I got back to my seat and took a bite it was belly pork , very nice but not chicken like I wanted . So that's the only moan about the food I can say , all in all a nice afternoon buffet for a tenner . If the could just get the staff to smile and clean the floor occasionally this would be a great place .

There's always something about buffet style restaurant that makes me uncomfortable, especially when COVID is still around. I happened to see someone took a piece of chips with their hand, and dip it in one of the sauces tray. While it wasn't the restaurant's fault, it would be so much better if the restaurant pays more attention to these sort of things. Anyways, I went there for lunch, and I was greeted by this one female staff member who was not at all friendly—very sour and angry faced that made so almost lose my appetite. I, however, was very impressed by the variety of the dishes and how fresh they looked. I sampled almost every dish, and my favourite would be the pork ribs, pork belly, stewed beef brisket and pork chasiu. I also quite liked the Singapore noodle and the steamed fish. I tried all the soups that they had, and the hot & sour was shockingly sour! Waaay too sour. But, the other soups were alright (wonton soup and chicken egg & corn soup). For £10.45 it was definitely worth the price and the quality (and quantity)!
