7. China Garden

We were pleasently surprised with the China Garden, the staff were very welcoming and the service was good. We had the buffet and the starter selection was about the same quality and standard that you would expect at a reasonable Chinese restaurant. Before mentioning the next course - duck and pancakes etc. I will say that the selection of main dishes were very good and better that I have had in many restaurants, the lemon chicken was particularly good. We had five main dishes and no complaints with any. Going back to the duck and pancakes, I felt that this course let the meal down in that the finely shredded duck was bought to the table already shredded and I would say was almost certainly bought in by the restaurant pre- prepared and shredded in bulk rather than the restaurant cooking and shredding it at the table. It was ok, but not good. There was plenty of shredded meat, but no crispy skin etc. Overall a good meal, but if they want to move up a notch they need to improve the duck situation. I gave a score of very good, but it only just reaches this level. We would go again, main courses great and friendly staff.

Over the last year, we have started going back to The Welcome again, after a not so good experience years ago, for family birthday celebrations.The all you can eat freshly prepared buffet menu has probably the widest selection of the Chinese restaurants in St Ives and is worth paying a bit more for. They offer the all you can eat menu on Sunday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday evenings. The restaurant is closed on Mondays.It is an extremely popular restaurant so booking is highly recommended. The food is excellent - I particularly love all the starters. The spring rolls are outstanding. In fact, I could just keep ordering the starters!!! You can then have soup (big selection), duck with pancakes and then the main courses which are smaller portions than normal but by that time anyway you are full! You can order more of each course if you wish.Staff are pleasant and attentive and do a good job in such a busy restaurant, but sometimes it can feel like you are being a bit neglected if they know a number of regulars eating in there that evening. We went for my daughters birthday and I gave them a cake to bring out at the end of the meal. There were quite a few birthday celebrations in there that evening and I had to remind them about the cake at the end of the meal. They were apologetic but it felt like they were more interested in their friends birthday.The only disappointment we have experienced in there with the food was on our last visit, the starters were extremely salty and even the extra starters ordered after the first lot were equally as salty. Hopefully this is just a one off and it wonât put us off returning unless it happens again.Well worth a visit.

We have tried a few times to get a table here as it is very popular at weekends I whould recommend booking a week in advance ! We had a bit of a wait when we got there as it was rammed and they were trying to turn tables. They were very apologetic about it all and soon sorted are tables. We had starters excellent sweet potatoe cakes and stuffed sweet peppers. They have a great menu with some very different specials we both very good meals I had a lamb dish which was medium spiced and without any doubt the tenderest lamb curry I've ever had.my wife had a chicken dish which she said was delicious. Great rice and breads very fresh,hot fantastic Indian food 10 out of 10. Definitely going back.

Was left waiting a while at the door as staff were engrossed at the bar. The guy who met us I'm afraid isn't cut out for meeting / greeting / waiting tables. No personality or warmth, which continued throughout. The senior waiter removed our wine glasses from the table (which we were left to choose, not shown to one) before we'd ordered drinks which seemed crazy although my sarcasm on this matter went over his head.To be fair, most of the food was nice, not the saag bhaji though, although the starters were served on stupidly huge plates making the food look tiny. The mains were hot and tasty generally.The refit this place has had since we were last here several months ago is quite nice and the booths looked cosy but the staff need some training in customer interaction.

It's been a while since I visited Original Thai and I'd previously given them 5 stars so I was hoping they wouldn't let me down.To my amazement, they'd got even better!The food was just outstanding (try the "Jungle Curry!"), the atmosphere was authentic and the serving staff polite and knowlegeable.What more could you want? Hard to improve on perfection.Give them a try - I'll be using the takeaway service as well.

Our food tasted of cleaning products when we said to take it away they then claimed their food âtastes different to other placesâ. They refused to take any money off the bill even though the food was hardly touched! Very disappointed and wouldnât recommend to anyone!
