Most Disliked
While many enjoy the buffet offerings, some diners note that the busiest times can lead to crowded seating and longer waits during peak hours. Especially on weekends, arriving without a reservation might result in longer wait times. Additionally, a few guests mention that certain dishes may run out quickly during busy hours, which could be disappointing for those hoping to try specific items. Some diners also seek more variety in vegan options, feeling that certain dietary preferences could be better accommodated in the buffet's offerings.

Excellent Chinese buffet! Everything was delicious and the staff were super friendly. It’s also very well maintained in terms of restocking and cleanliness. We’ll be back again for sure! Was moderately busy on a Wednesday night but with plenty of seating. I’d probably recommend booking at the weekend, though, especially with a larger party. About £50 for two people at dinner and unlimited soft serve as well.

Had a great experience here. Good price to UNLIMITED food! I must have had a 7 course meal here. Had sushi, bubble waffles too! Great addition to the locals in Cumbernauld, also it's right next to the motorway between Glasgow and Perth/Stirling/Dundee etc See our full video review on our experience under The Olive Tree Family on all social media platforms.

It is a new Chinese all you can eat buffet restaurant in Cumbernauld area. It is very convenient to park and next to highway. The food is very delicious and the waiter/waitress are very friendly. It is worth to try if you are fancy for a Chinese food.

We visit here regularly. The staff are on the go non stop clearing plates, making sure you have everything you need . It's extremely busy on a weekend so maybe wise to book first. There's only been once when the food i chose from the buffet was a but dry but I think it was due to the fact , there was barely any left and the fresh stuff just hadn't been replaced yet . On the whole, for me , an enjoyable experience.
