  I visited here yesterday for lunch, we arrived around 12.30pm; the restaurant was quiet and we were seated immediately with our drink orders taken. We got two bottles of water, then made our way to the buffet, there was a large selection of food to choose from and everything was freshly cooked and delicious, especially the chicken skewers and noodles, my only complaint would be that the curry sauce was almost lukewarm but it was tasty as usual and the rest of the food was hot and changed frequently when it was empty.
  
  I think that offering more desserts would be good, especially more options of ice cream and cakes but I wouldn't let that put you off, the food is very enjoyable and good value for money. Plates were cleared away efficiently and the staff were helpful, paying for the meal was quick and easy and I highly recommend this chinese buffet if you are looking for somewhere to eat in Glasgow.

  Well I will start with the negative first
  
  1. The chicken curry omg what is the chicken meant to be. It was slimy, no texture, cheap tasting, Only way I can explain it I give it 2 out of ten.
  
  2. They do this sort of sliced potato and peppers but it is so bloody soggy its ok I wouldn't have loads.
  
  3. Staff are also up your backside every 2 minutes. They come and take your plate but don't ask.
  
  4. Something new I seen was you are only allowed 1 and a half hours per sitting first place I seen like that.
  
  5. Well cake is ok but upon tasting the ice cream it had a horrible taste, when mentioned to the staff, nothing totally nothing.
  
  6. There is one ingredient I forgot sadly they didn't it's SALT. There is so way to much salt drying your mouth up with the idea it will make you buy more drinks.
  
  But on a good side
  
  1. There are two types of chips with a new extra crispy one nice
  
  2. An old favourite of mine is Satay sticks is still there and nice but I don't think anything made fresh when you compare chicken in satay to curry
  
  I'd say it's ok to go to but there many places to give better quality curry, your choice

  Kings lodge
  
  Walking in here you get the feeling nothing has ever changed apart from the table covers.
  
  A very late 1970's / 1980's trashed look about the place, dark and very green.
  
  The reality everything that was on the buffet counter was battered & deep fried,
  
  There was a good selection on offer but everything looked the same, just different sauce poured over all the battered items, apart from the dry noodles.
  
  At the hot container the food was served  in small containers that could only hold a few portions of food.
  
  Front of house staff looked clean and wore some sort of uniform, but could see the kitchen on the way to the toilets and could see the cook only wearing an apron as a uniform & dirty tracksuit.
  
  Sadly I've yet to see anywhere in Glasgow produce any good Chinese food.

  One can only suppose that at one time the king kept his animals here - hence the name.
  
  Let's work from an honest starting point. Pretty much all Chinese buffets are crappy. It was with a sense of dread that the guys in my football team plumped for this establishment for the stomach lining session of our night out.
  
  The staff were alright, but the place was overcrowded, the cutlery was strangely sticky, and the food was the processed mush you'd expect.

  I was here again today. I love this place. Feels like been coming here for years. Maybe 8 years or more. Best in town for budget Chinese buffet. They don't let you use their card machine unless you spend £10. So bring cash.
