Do Not Confuse Hong Buffet With Similar Names
Several UK restaurants have similar names. Hong Kong Buffet in London’s Chinatown and Hong Kong Banquet in Glasgow are separate businesses with different menus and prices. This article covers only Hong Buffet in Luton.
Some directory sites list old or unverified prices for Hong Buffet. One example shows weekday lunch at £7.99, which does not match the official price of £13.50.
Is Hong Buffet Worth It?
At £13.50 for a weekday lunch, the buffet gives access to Chinese, Italian, Thai and Indian dishes plus unlimited soft and hot drinks. The dinner price of £22.00 to £25.00 adds duck, seafood, sushi and live teppanyaki to the mix.
The main limits are the seating time, the reduced lunch menu and the lack of an official halal statement. For groups and families, the half price child rate and the birthday offer improve the value.
