Everything about this restaurant is great. The restaurant facilities are very clean and maintained very well. The staff members are approachable and helpful. This restaurant offers the best Chinese food. I highly recommend anyone to try the food here.

The food was overly sweet and sugary. I didn't like any of the dishes for this reason. For example, I remember eating the crispy pork and it felt like I was eating sugar. I was also weirded out that it was £5.50 for a small bowl of basic boiled white rice—slightly on the expensive side for a restaurant in Colchester. A decent Chinese restaurant in Central London charges £4.80. However, the ambience was lively and pleasant, and the service was good. Overall, the atmosphere is nice, service good, pricing overcharged, but the food is below average and has way too much sugar without other flavours.

Some of the best Chinese food I've eaten, all in a wonderful setting and with excellent service. Absolutely gorgeous set menu,with the chilli garlic prawns and seafood mixed platter also great. For dessert, the custard hedgehogs are delicious,imagine a custard filled fritter. Wheelchair accessibility: Fully accessible with lifts

We had the set menu, which was too much food for us. However, the food was really delicious. We would recommend this place to anyone who likes Chinese food. Wheelchair accessibility: Ground floor with step free entrance. However, I think the toilets may be on a different floor.

Haven't been to Banquet for a number of years but decided to go as it was my daughters birthday. I have to say it was one of the best Chinese meals we have ever had. The quality and flavour of the dishes were superb. Service and atmosphere were also top-notch. It is expensive, but as a treat, we didn't mind, especially for what we experienced. There is a reasonable size car park at the rear with 2 disabled spaces. The restaurant is all on one level but there are stairs to the toilets. They have a platform lift for wheelchairs to lower them down to a reasonably sized accessible toilet. I would highly recommend this restaurant if your budget allows. Parking: Reasonable size parking with 2 disabled spaces. Wheelchair accessibility: 2 disabled parking spaces. Restaurant on one level but toilets downstairs. Wheelchair users can use a platform lift to take themselves and wheelchair to the toilet level.

I went to Banquet for lunch and thoroughly enjoyed the food.The service was good, and I would highly recommend it. Although it took a while to get our orders because it was a busy day , overall, the service was good. I tried the hedgehog buns for the first time, they were great.

Arrived at 12pm opening time, as soon as the food came in people were piling on in! Great atmosphere, and solid food. Missing the food from Hong Kong and now living in Suffolk, so this restaurant is a good place to go for any cravings 👍

Another delicious meal No din sum as chef is on Holibobs but still beautiful cooked and all staff so friendly and helpful Would recommend Another delicious freshly cooked mixture Honey roast pork prawn dumplings 🥟 Squid and more Chinese tea full of flavour Would recommend to everyone Staff all helpful and friendly

We had a lovely meal at Banquet, easily the best Chinese restaurant I’ve been to in Colchester. The Hong Kong set menu was well sized for two and didn’t leave lots left over at the end, the steamed charcoal lava buns were a nice treat to finish with. Booking is essential here, the waiters are attentive and the food is really authentic with nice décor surrounding you. Parking: Parking is directly outside the restaurant with parking at nearby restaurants in the same area if all the spaces are taken.

I booked for my husband's Birthday as he loves Dim Sum. I searched restaurants in Colchester and picked them as he wanted Dim sum. We went to order and were told Dim Sum was sold out. We were there at 1900 hours. 1st waiter needed some lessons in customer service. The food was excellent and the other servers were kind and professional. The atmosphere was not for us. A lot of very loud groups. When my husband went to pay he said it was a shame that the Dim Sum had sold out. The girl at the till rudely shouted Dim Sum means lunch only!!!! Yet it's on the menu as a Dim Sum platter???? Then she said do you want to leave a tip. We declined and gave it personally to the 2nd waiter who was friendly.Birthday experience was not as I planned for my husband. World I go back... No!! Shame as food good but for 100 pounds for 2 I would expect better service.
