Has gone downhill since it first opened, staff not very friendly, customer service rather poor, seems to be a case of get you in and out as quickly as possible. My kids like it, but I am afraid I find the food second rate, but what would you expect from a fast turn around buffet? Cleanliness is doubtful, I always get the feeling it’s rather dirty. Never seen any Chinese people eat here, wonder why? Kids say the prawn crackers are good!

I have been to this china Buffett king quite a few times and I really think this is my last time I will be here. I have tried this one and a few in Glasgow and by far this has to be the worst one ! The place is an absolute shambles for customer service and quality of food. Me and a group of friends went up and it was busy so we waited a while in the seating area which was quite big so that was good but people keep coming on in front of us and getting served first which was absoloutley shocking we had waited about 10 minutes to get seated. Before we even got seated we got asked to pay and I was certainly not happy with this it’s just not right having to pay before even having the food! So we got seated in a okay area as it was busy and their where 4 of us so we got our drinks and the. Headed up to the Buffett I had a look around and yes it does look big but it wasn’t that big a choice of food it had all your usual Chinese food and your starters and salad and your desserts. I got tucked in and mostly was having chicken balls and fried rice and noodles etc etc and I love spare ribs so I went up to get some and seated back down all excited to try them but my god! They where cold and had hardly any meat on them and they tasted like they they had been dipped in fairy liquid I was absolute disgusted and to be fair a lot of the food was cold. I also don’t meant to come across as racist or anything but I felt it was very mouldy cultural the man who greeted us in was Greek I think and the person I paid was Chinese and then the person who took our plates and gave our drinks was Eastern European it just felt very wrong and weird I don’t have anything against any nations or people let’s get that straight but I expected more Chinese origin as it is china Buffett kind I don’t know. Overall it was the worst restaurant I have had in in my life, cold reheated tasteless food and the place was too big it was like 3 dinner halls put together and the staff very rude although cleared the plates away and quick enough to take the money. I really wouldn’t waste your time in here go somewhere else xscape has to offer !!

Its a chinese buffet, thats the thing that you have to remember, it isn’t fine dining. However there is a hug selection, and being busy the turn over time is quite quick meaning that nothing is left too long. The 2 highlights, however last time I went 1 of the highlights was broken, is the ice cream machine, broken, and the second is the view of the ski slope. All in all cheap and cheerful, even better if you have hollow legs

I had been to China Buffet King many times on Suchiehall St and always found it fine for the money. I wasn’t too impressed however with the restaurant at xscape. There wasn’t as much selection as I usually expect to see and the food wasn’t very warm. Staff are only really interested in getting you in and out as quickly as possible and often try to take your plate before your even finished your meal. It’s cheap cheerful food and if your in a rush then I supposed you wouldn’t mind being rushed out but overall I feel that there are far better places to eat at xscape.

If you want your food quickly or are short of time these buffets are ideal. Pick exactly what you want, go up until your stuffed and grab a clean plate each time. Good selection compared with some other chinese buffets and it’s amusing watching people on the indoor ski slope on one side of the restaurant. Reasonable price and quality, fast.

If you’re hungry but on a budget in terms of time or money — this is the place to eat! There’s always a good selection of starters and main courses available and you can literally eat as much as you are physically able to! The staff are friendly and helpful — and very quick to clear your dishes, leaving you free to go up for yet another round at the buffet. It’s not exactly luxurious but you pay for what you get!

These are great value for money if you are on a budget and feel very hungry. Plenty of staff around to clear your dishes away while you help yourself. There is always a lot to choose from, the downside is trying to get by the greedy people that have been hanging around the buffet.

I love it in china buffet king, its great value for money, the waitor/waitress tidys your used plates and glasses away quickly so you can go bak to the buffet.

really good value, but one bit of advice. don’t go very near to closing time as you seem to get the dregs. The wine isn’t very nice so try and avoid that if you can. they had a nice selection of sushi once when I was in which ordinarilly you’d pay a fortune for. its fun as you can watch the people ski on the fake snow slope as well.

Hidden away on the first floor right at the back of Xscape this is a fab Chinese Buffet. The usual choice of soups and starters, main courses(including sweet and sour chicken, curries, chicken in sauce) and desserts(jelly and icecream, choc cake, fresh fruit) They prices are very reasonable and good choice of drinks. Best bit about this place is it is right beside the inside ski slope and has windows looking into it all down one side, try and get a seat next to the windows and you can watch all the snow boarders and skiers! Can be highly entertaining!
