Quick info
About HongXin Oriental Buffet
HongXin Oriental Buffet is a Chinese restaurant on Hongxin in Swindon, running as an all-you-can-eat buffet with a single cover charge for entry. The spread moves across battered chicken, beef, lamb, seafood, dumplings, noodles and rice, with a dessert section that includes ice cream alongside a sushi counter and a grill station where items are cooked to order behind a glass screen. Water is available from a central self-serve station rather than being brought to the table. The team seats guests on arrival and leaves them to eat at their own pace. Free parking is offered in the on-site car park, and delivery is part of the operation alongside the dining room.

“Was recomended by friend, but the food were awful, chewy. Varity Nd selection were very few to choose. Staff were friendly but cleanliness was poor. Window asile were dusty. Not recommed.”
- Matt Knight
“It’s very basic, looks great from the outside but the food inside is very sub par! Price is good for what you get but isn’t that good! The sushi selection is dryer than the Sahara and they have stopped putting out wasabi and ginger (granted might have been that night) I asked for 2 items off the grill and I was looked at as if I was questioning who was the best pop band through the 90s. The table water is kept under MI5 secrets as I kept asking staff for it but ended up smuggling it from a central section behind the people serving but actually stood around chatting”

“Had dinner here and although it’s Not bad it’s certainly not the best iv had I’d have to say it was middling at best . Food was okay, but service was a little lackluster. Eat here if you must.”

“A fantastic Chinese buffet restaurant. There were so many different dishes!! Amazing value! A good choice of battered chicken, beef dishes, lamb, seafood, dumplings, noodles and rices. Also a good dessert section with ice cream. You pay one fee and can eat as much as you want. Clean toilets. Clean restaurant. Staff were friendly and unobtrusive. They got you seated and didn't hover which was nice. There was a great atmosphere inside the restaurant and outside as well was beautiful. The prawn toast was especially excellent and the satay sauce! Loads of free parking in the restaurant car park.”
