About Springwater Chinese Restaurant
On Moor Ln in Nottingham, Springwater Chinese Restaurant serves a la carte, all-you-can-eat and takeaway menus in one large dining room. The all-you-can-eat option is cooked fresh to order rather than served from a standard buffet, with a set number of dishes chosen at a time and brought to the table. The room is clean and spacious with simple decor, and enough space around the tables for large groups, couples, and families to dine together. Outside seating is also available. Service is walk-in, with no reservation needed, and food generally reaches the table within a short wait of ordering. A complimentary dessert is offered when a birthday is mentioned to the staff.

Customer Review Summary
The all you can eat menu draws the most consistent praise, with reviewers describing fresh, made to order dishes at around £28 per person rather than a standard buffet. Named favorites include the sizzling beef in black pepper sauce, spring rolls, ribs, sweet and sour fish, and duck in plum sauce, with duck noted as a £3 extra. Service is repeatedly called attentive and fast, and several diners mention complimentary birthday treats or desserts offered when celebrations were mentioned. Groups celebrating occasions, from Chinese New Year to birthdays, describe feeling well looked after, and the restaurant is often described as busy yet clean. Drinks are flagged more than once as pricey, with one reviewer noting the price list isn't on the table. One diner's evening was nearly spoiled by a disruptive nearby table, though this was described as an isolated incident rather than a pattern. Multiple reviewers mention returning after long gaps, still finding the food and service as good as remembered.

“The food is outstanding! The service is attentive but not overbearing. The atmosphere is great. There were large groups, couples and families dining. There were also quite a few people celebrating various things. Parking is easy as the car park is large. Disabled friendly parking and access, plus plenty of room around the tables to move. The restaurant was clean, spacious and simply decorated. Very tasteful. The amount we spent included drinks. I would highly recommend a visit!”

“4th time we've had a meal here took a party of 7 and we had the all you can eat selection at about £28 per person. We had 10 lot's of starters and 8 main courses, we had to stop at that as we couldn't eat anymore. The bill at the end of the night was around £230 ,including the drinks. Food was fantastic, very short waiting times after ordering. The staff are very friendly and courteous. Everywhere was very clean. Brilliant night.”

“We had a wonderfully welcoming experience dining here as a group of eight, celebrating Chinese New Year. The staff clearly put thought and effort into making the occasion feel special, and none of the details went unnoticed. The staff were incredibly patient, attentive, and accommodating throughout the evening. The food arrived hot, quickly, and in generous portions - and everything was absolutely delicious. We were also regularly checked in on, which made us feel well looked after without being intrusive. Overall, it was a fantastic experience with great service and excellent food. We felt genuinely welcomed and would happily return again. Highly recommended, especially for special occasions.”

“First time eating here to celebrate my father's birthday. We had the buffet which was FANTASTIC! Order as much as you want and it's all freshly made. Staff were on the ball and very friendly. Drinks are pricey, but that's to expected. Free birthday dessert which I didn't expect, music and all 😂 Overall, it's an easy 10/10”
