Great food have been here several times! Excellent service with friendly attentive staff one if the best chinese restaurants I've been in, and at times they are hard to find. We also had the order to buffet which was lovely as well!

Visited on a Sunday at 1700. Very quiet. Food was quite tasty. Maybe too much veggies in the Lamb stir fry. Had quite a lot of crispy chicken pieces. Service was excellent. Would be great to have a jug of cold water on the table. Maybe even a step by step guide for the use of chopsticks for those who don’t know. The atmosphere was great. A very comfortable and pleasant meal! The toilets were immaculate! We were impressed with the crystal drinking glasses! Thank you so much :)

Far and away the best "buffet" Chinese restaurant I've visited. Their usp is that rather than the "help yourself" type buffet, everything is cooked freshly. Order your food, eat that, order again etc. The menu is extensive and varied, in both starters and mains. Excellent service, licenced (which was an unexpected bonus) polite and knowledgeable staff. Have already recommended to friends and family - 2 workmates have already booked. Cannot recommend highly enough. Quality.

We frequently visit this restaurant to collect takeaway, and sometimes we opt for delivery. The staff are always incredibly friendly and welcoming, greeting customers with a smile whether you’re dining in or picking up an order. The value for money is excellent, especially considering the generous portions and consistently high-quality food. Every meal we’ve had here has been delicious and reliably good. Keep up the great work! We always look forward to our next meal from here.

Great food and service! Thank you Priyanka (I feel so bad not having asked for the gentleman's name, he was great with recommendations and we chose to let him decide what would be best for us) your help and recommendations. We chose the lunch menu , which offers a great variety for vegetarians, pescatarians and meat lovers. Ideal place for couples and groups, especially fussy eaters (we were so busy enjoying the food,even forgot to take pictures ) This place has food for everyone! Thank you !

Utterly brilliant. Don’t bother going to one of the ‘upmarket’ Chinese restaurants in Harborne, where you will pay twice as much for pretty standard Chinese food served on a fancy plate. Kangxi delivers truly delicious, fresh and exciting food at a decent price and in an authentic setting. The staff are really pleasant. You will not be disappointed.
