- This town needs to be boarded up and left to rot. All the people have fled the town and left it rack and ruin. The only place I could find was this All You Can Eat Chinese Buffet Restaurant. Is this Buffet the town's best asset and is it worth risking visiting this crime troubled town to sample the food here? Let's find out...

Who the hell gives their two year old Chinese?. Have to wean them on it with fish and chips first 🤣🤣
Looks a very popular restaurant, and you were lucky to have got a seat😁.
it looks like an old police station....is that why its called panda panda 🤣🤣
😂I thought the Mac master was looking more like Burt from the muppets
Mansfield and all of the surrounding area has never been the same since the pit, ( mining industry ) closed down. Overnight, thousands of miners lost their jobs and the money they earned, that would have been spent in the local area economy was'nt there any more. It was not just miners that lost their jobs but also shops, cafes, leisure centres and other industries that relied on the mining industry also closed down in the knock on effects of the pit closures. To this day the area has never recovered and probably never will.
Who feeds their 2 year old Chinese food?
Well about a billion Chinese parents do mate. But they just call it "food".
In Africa the Tribes women chew their food and then feed it to their babies. How amazing is that? Natures baby food.
At least there is the union flag flying over the town hall. Unlike Luton eh..🇬🇧
Controversial!
@nigel8499 it shouldn't be. Our flag should be flying at all town halls in our country, not any other, especially bloody Palestinian flag.
Yes the Union Flag, flying proudly. But what a state it was in. In must be a hand me down. First time flown at Rourks Drift. Then raised at Goose Green or Port Stanley. Maybe other places, back when we were a proud nation, a United Kingdom. The British Isles
@AllanNeaves-qn3zr sadly you are probably right sir.
Plenty of union flags in the Benidorm and Renerife vlogs
Hi Lee, when do you start your roadtrip to Benidorm with Geoff? Can't wait for this one! All the best and keep up the good work!
The power of the MacMaster - being able to book a restaurant for his sole use!
That Chinese restaurants is empty not a good sign, food will probably all be reheated from days ago !!!!🤣
My grandson will be 3 in July, yes he was born in Hong Kong and lives there with his mummy and daddy, he loves his asian food, especially sushi, , been eating it since 1 year old, but when he comes to visit me in Blackpool, he loves his carvery and fish n chips etc haha xx
What…..chips and rice!?!?! OH, YOU English???? Never in Aus have I ever seen ’Chips’ in a ‘Chinese’ restaurant😂
Yep, that review confirms that 3 year olds have more adventurous palates than yourself Macmaster!!!!
I have eaten Cockroaches on sticks!
@@TheMacMaster Was that at the Cockroach Cockroach restaurant ? It's a funny old video today, Lee !
@@TheMacMasteryes, you said it had got rough round your way

This was a really good, funny episode, Lee ! Thanks !
Great review again lee food looked yummy 👍
You kidding me the new generation are giving their 2 year olds Big Macs now 😮 if it's all you can eat stay away from the rice , noodles and chips they fill you up too fast stick to the fancy meats and seafood 😂 and a Chinese restaurant cooking chips now that's a first
Gr8 video Lee, good on ya bigging up the local eateries
Great video Lee that looked really nice and cheap enough 👏👏👍👍
It feels that the areas all around and including Mansfield have never recovered from the pit closures and the heart of the communities has ripped out..what used to be proud market towns are now pretty depressing places.
A buffet is totally against the essence of Chinese food, which is cooked hot and fast. Leaving it in heated trays for a long time and a lot of the flavour and goodness is gone. Also perhaps it's mostly a Northern thing to have chips with everything, even in a Chinese and then to mix rice and noodles and potatoes, much like pasta and chips.
Who feeds a 2year old Chinese food?
Um.... how about Chinese parents?!
Chinese parents?
Anyone in China! ?
🤣😂
Another great review from the main man ❤
Mansfield has changed a lot, it is also my home town. I remember the market being massive and the second hand flea market was a treasure trove for everything you wanted, the four seasons shopping Centre was always packed, it all changed just as I was leaving school and the pits closed, the whole area died. I moved to Grimsby on the east coast and it was worse! I now live in ollerton and love it! compared to the east coast it is paradise, specially with sherwood forest on my doorstep
You lost me when you mentioned Ollerton….😂
Mansfield a shadow of its self you say… isn’t that 99% of the towns in the UK if we are being honest.
Many city centres are becoming g ghost towns , generally the fault of local councils pushing through 10 years out of date traffic measures ie LEZs where current pollution levels way under limits . Aberdeen which had an iconic all granite main St has virtually banned all cars from centre as well as LEZ non- compliant vehicles . Footfall now down by over half a million , local feeders closing down .all down to incompetence of city councils , of all political persuasions
Started , main courses and CHIPS ! all on one plate , dogs dinner . On that review , Panda Panda didn’t pander to my tastes .
@@alanthomson1227 what’s that got to do with my comment 😂
@@NNC93 just a general comment on Lees review . Sometimes comments get wrongly assigned to wrong original comment
Thanks for sharing
Worth a visit lee,good review 👍
I remember Mansfield being a bustling market town, it was a Saturday outing. Four Seasons centre, fresh fruit and veg from the market. Kiddies had a ride near the Bentinck Memorial and we finished off with cockles and mushy peas from the stall near The Ram. A sad demise.😢 Glad I live in the Highlands now. Nice looking place. Great vlog as always.
Looked like a really clean place and the food looked great - enjoyed the video 🙂
Nice eat through
👍👍👍👍😋
Lee you are Me in Mansfield! My mates looked at the video with me (i saw it already) They, said when are we going to Mansfield! Great video.
Fantastic Video
Looked cracking value that lee I reckon you and beard should do something together in the future just a thought 🤣🤣
When the community spirit leaves a town the life of the town is sucked out of it. You still have a love deep down for the town.
Watched two videos back to back the food there looked fabulous from what I saw foemr me would have been a 10 so was the food not as good as it looked ??Regards Keith x
Sad to see Mansfield like that. I remember it in the good old days, the market and thriving shops. Thanks for a great vlog xx
1 person in (Lee). Closing down soon.
5:51, Sweet and Sour coming up. Its every town centre these days Lee not just Mansfield. My town Bishop Auckland has been decimated by out of town Drive Thru's, Retail Outlets.
Incidentally, it also has a Panda Panda (not a buffet though)
love egg fried rice and the noodles, and probably something chicken, looked a real nice restaurant. Enjoyed the video Lee 😊😊
Panda panda looks all black and white bear that in mind?!
It's a really nice looking town too.
Such a shame to see it deserted.
Mr Mac, in answer to your question 3:42, about 1Billion Chinese. 🤣
I do enjoy an all you can eat. Being Scottish, I am tight fisted, and my only gripe is the price some places charge for the drinks. I've been in some where you'll get a pint of soft drink for around £4, and it came from a 2ltr bottle. There is one in Edinburgh that has free refills on the drinks.
Looks packed in there standing room only!, must be good lol.
I absolutely love Chinese food.. That all looked so tasty 😋
I have eaten but I could make room for more ! Ten out of ten❤
5:23 Mansfield unfortunately looks like the majority of northern towns.
Not just in the North. Ipswich isn’t much better
@@stephenhaywood5672 That's possibly the reason why my sister prefers to visit Norwich. Despite living closer to Ipswich.
I enjoy the talk, the more info l get the more l enjoy vloggers. The food looked great, l hope their footfall increases as the outside would normally be enough to make me keep on walking. 😁
At least your EV had enough range to get you into town Lee.... 😃
And even to get back home without hanging around for an hour to charge the damn thing
wow! packed out there !
Hi Lee. Your town looks quite nice. Hope you enjoyed the Chinese buffet ❤️
Looked quite there Lee in town. Food looked good though. Singapore Chow Mein my absolute favourite Chinese food although I do love sweet & sour too. Never tried salt & pepper Chips.
Same here.
It’s looks great meal 🥘 os You enjoy your self.
Hi Lee, so depressing and sad how the town looks. The Panda Buffet looks fantastic, food looks good, interior was nice, clean bright. If only we knew about this on May 3 when we were in your town. Great value!
And what do you mean what 2 year old child would want to eat Chinese food probably one who lives in China 😅
Good to see your health kick diet is going so well Lee! The weight will be dropping off you in no time 😀
Service was excellent 😂🤣😂 you served yourself,looked very good and clean, not my neck of the woods so I don't think I will be visiting 😊
Mmmm looks very nice Lee.
Restaurant looks nice and clean, I really don’t know where you put all that food, yup eyes bigger than belly. Thanks Lee.
Nice One Pal
Hi Lee. Excellent review. Sadly local councils seem to have no interest in promoting local business and making the town look good.....
Hi Lee... what's the "Champion Portsmouth Harbour"
T shirt?? Is that a navy boxing club or something ?
From Martin and Suzy Bear on Portsmouth!
I could live on Chinese food 😋 and because of now watching this video I'm going to order one now later ☺️
The place looks clean and nice decor
Hey Lee what is going on with your town centre. That place looked lovely in there . and very empty xxx❤I remember all the videos that you have done in the past there' was a lot of people then so sad I see that you had to fight for a seat LOL xx❤
Well done Lee how much will score the food 9.01 out of 10 onwards my friends ps watch out for the panda behind you 😀👍
Time was you in Mansfield matey. The food looked awesome though.
Looked really nice
You can do a video of sheffield please
I do love a Chinese buffett. When i was working in Canada in 96, the guys i was working with thought i was a bit of awuss because i did`nt go out beering it up every night. But, when it came to the infamous "Mandarin Chinese Buffett", one of our guys, a 6ft+ rugby player held the record of 7 platefuls. I knew i had a big appetite, so made a point of having 8 platefuls and held the record till our contract out there finished.
I felt absolutely stuffed to the point of feeling very uncomfortable for the night, BUT, i had the great pleasure of being our groups man for eating.
Great vid Lee, and yes, Mansfield does look like it`s seen better days, which is a shame because it looks like it has some lovely old buildings.
It all looks very beige! Seems to be great value none the less!
Panda Panda. So good they named it twice..! That meal looked great!
I’m like you Lee, I have to put a mixture on the plate or I feel I’ve missed out 🥡🥢
Why is the gaff empty Lee did they know you were coming 😅😅😅😅😅
From the title of the vid I thought you were going to the Red Light district in China town, for a moment.🤣🤣🤣
What a surprise that was, lovely inside ,food looked very nice also. Great value for money i would give it 10/10 Mansfield Town looks a mess though .Sad ,Good Review ,Cheers
It's good the staff are extremelee friendlee!
My local Chinese buffet does a takeaway box for £5, gorgeous, i go st least once a week
Nice vlog Lee shame you're home town and other places around the country the same "panda panda" very nice " g
the food looked really good 10 👍
I visited mansfield a few months back, its a lovely town
Looks great . like you say worth coming for panda panda. 10/10.
Defo lots of small plates & try as many starters and mains and hold off on the rice chips noodles til the last plate or just add tiny amounts with the mains. I used to pile up the plate but got defeated too quickly as you did. This video has made me way hungry!
Nearly got in the car and raced over! Love Chinese food.❤️
Always love an "All you can eat Chinese". We lost ours in Essex. Always think the ambience is a bit staff canteen ish. Wait 15 minutes and you'll be hungry again.
The food looks lovely and iv not actually been to an all u can eat becus tbh. I cant reli eat too much in one sitting so altho it all sounds great. I don't think I wud be able to take advantage nd it wud end up costing me double for the amount that I wud prob only be able to eat anyway. It does however give u the chance to sample lots if dishes that maybe iv looked at but never been brave enuff to try at the fear of not liking nd wasting my money. So it's good to get that opportunity. I always scour the menu but opt for the chow mein everytime. I need to try more different. a set meal around my area is about the same price nd that wud prob last me for a couple of sittings maybe more if there's lots so it's swings nd roundabouts price wise but the all u can eat is great option for trying different dishes.
That’s the most depressing looking Chinese restaurant I’ve ever seen. It’s like the recruitment company went bust and the Chinese buffet moved in the day after and just rearranged the furniture. Glad the food was better than the ambience and decor. 🍻
i used to go to Mansfield a lot in 1988 i had a girlfriend there and i do remember that Market Square being busy to be fair
How could you possibly ask them to turn the music down just for you...????? It's on for everyone else..!!!!!
There’s nobody else there!
LOL!!!!!!!! That’s a joke right Ray! Lol There’s no one in there! Lol 😂
Im so jealous, i wish we had one in weston super mare.
I love a chinese buffet.. usually go to one in Birmingham called buffet island, unfortunatly closed due to lockdown covid. 😢 i sometimes have 3plates bit of everythink then a pudding😂 lookd a high 9.5
Hello, Don here from the USA. I certainly hope they survive. No one there. You would THINK the place would be packed! I know it would be here. How did it feel eating alone?
That place looked new not the usual dated Chinese décor. Where were the other diners? Any prawns? I go for the stuff that is valuable, beef, prawns Chinese style pork and not teh common stuff like chicken dishes.That looked good and Monday a good day to go. Mansfied not that far from Loughborough as I often go to IKEA and Ilkeston.Need that wheelchair access for wife.
Great review and useful
Yes very nice Lee well worth the money! Little john from chichester (10) all day long ...
chinese with chips ?? …lol sorry lee but i cant see anyone flocking to mansfield anytime soon !
It reminds me of the Specials song ghost town.
I definitely wouldnt bulk up on the cheap carbs ie chips n rice , if they had spicy king prawns and crispy duck I'd be on those.
Mansfield is going to hate Mansfield's own Lee, lol.
I'm not too keen on Chinese food myself Lee, but the restaurant did look lovely.
You were literally the only person in there, and the town looked absolutely deserted as well. They must just be surviving on takeaway orders. Anyway, I have never understood why you would go and sit down in a Chinese restaurant and get chips ???...criminal behaviour.
The Chinese do great chips. A lot better than most of the local chippies down my way. Give them a try.
@@wearetomorrowspast.5617 I know, if I just want chips I will go and get some from the Chinese place if there is no fish n chip shop. But If I go to sit own in a Chinese restaurant for a meal...that's different, I wouldn't get/order chips in that situation.
@@dazuk1969 Exactly. Try going into a restaurant in Chinatown and ordering chips...you'd probably get a "NO CHIP!!" from the waiter before being thrown out on the street! 😆
Hey I can see you not eating for a week after eating all that food it did look lovely though xx❤
Lee ,Ghurka and Jade Delight ( Fri Sat Sun £18) Both Chinese buffet in Blackpool.Can personally recommend both Jade Delight on Bond Street is my favourite.
