Review San Ting Yun - Waterloo

I have lived in the locality for years and I have never visited this restaurant. I took a look at the reviews and all appeared to be favourable so I visited early on a Saturday evening. Well either these reviews are false or I am extremely hard to please? Not sure which of the above is correct but if the posted reviews are false well this one certainly isn't. One word sums this dining experience up.... Horrific. I'm really not sure where to start?? The premises.... zero atmosphere. I've been in greasy spoons which have better ambience. To compound this I had to put up with the noisiest diner ever going on and on about his medical conditions.... not the fault of the restaurant I know. The starters arrived...Hor D'ouvres combination. Absolutely dire and so greasy 🤮. Anyway managed to eat some of it and then waited and waited for the'waiter' to clear the table. There were only a few diners in but he was to busy sorting out paperwork at the till. Eventually he did and asked if we wanted the main courses. Obviously yes!! So we waited and waited while others were served and the takeaways went out. Eventually, after waiting in excess of 35 minutes we gave up and I asked for the mains as a takeaway. The family left and I waited a further 10 minutes. Got home and opened my duck meal. Took one look at the chunks of rubbery fat attached to dodgy looking duck swimming in a slimy sauce and put it straight into the bin. This was swiftly followed by a second dreadful chicken chow mein. The chicken fried rice compared unfavorably to the local chippy and half of this went into the bin. Overall as bad a meal as I have ever had. If I could give it zero stars I would. Grim 🥴

Awful! Absolutely no flavour to any of it best thing about the meal was the prawn crackers

Called in on sunday night about 630 for the buffet. Staff were very friendly . The buffet is made to order so there was a nice gap between courses. Very reasonable for the food and for the drinks. The food was red hot and delicious . I am wary of buffet style meals as sometimes the food is lukewarm so this was a very enjoyable experience . 10/10 all round.

Clean, presentable, welcoming and cozy. Food is well above the standard you might expect for the all you can eat price on a sunday, hat's off to them, faultless experience there today
