Emperor - Lowestoft

Excellent value, decent diversity and easy to reach for the nextoft area. the cost for three buffets would be like a train for three to norwich. simple, efficient and tasty.

Surprisingly tasty! We went on a Tuesday lunch time only £7.50. We were a little unsure at first as it did not seem very busy, but the buffet look good through the window and a few couples entered before us so we gave it a go. The buffet though limited at lunch time was constantly replenished, hot and tasty. There was fruit, cake and ice cream for after so for the price it was well worth it, we will definitely go again.

This is a great value for money lunch with an all you can eat buffet, there was plenty of variety especially for me who likes his meat. When we arrived we ordered our drinks and made way to the table, this is where they lost half a star, the table clothes were plastic and there was no napkins there. The food tasted fine (apart from the satay chicken skewer that was a bit dry) but overall I enjoyed the food. This is where they lost the other star, although there was ramps there that (being disabled) I appreciate what was put in place I found that having a desert was a major problem. Overall a good value for money experience.

Now under new management and renamed Golden Castle, the restaurant remains as excellent as ever. I visited on a quiet Sunday evening, but the buffet still offered a fantastic selection of hot, delicious meals. Everything was freshly prepared, and nothing looked stale or dried out. The staff was friendly as well. I'll definitely be returning soon!

I'm not usually a fan of buffet food, but we decided to go based on friends' recommendations, and I was pleasantly surprised. The staff was very friendly, which made the experience even better.
