POOR POOR POOR!Been there a few times over the period of about two years but my last time (2weeks ago) was the worst and last time I will choose to go there. All you can eat is great but I wouldn't call that "cheap" for the standard of food - the vast array somehow takes away from the quality, unfortunately. I went there for my sister-in-law's birthday and she had pre-booked a table. First of all, we had to pay individually before we could even get to ur tables and were given a "PAID" stamp in red on our hands - this is with a pre-booked table, apparently some people run off without paying. Okay overlooking that, we then asked if some drinks could be brought to our table and were told we would have to pay for individual drinks at the bar. So everyone had to keep getting up every few minutes, just to get a drink - erm, WHAT are the waiters there for then? Apparently to stand and watch you eat and look for the stamp on the back of your hand!On top of all the wonderful service, you THEN had to cough up £1.50 for a jug of "TAP WATER" (no ice of lemon slice might I add) EACH time you wanted a refill - erm, someone tell me when tap water became chargeable??? When I aksed about this, they said they had a special "filter" which was purifying the water that was coming through their taps and with a table of about 15 people, you can imagine how much money that made.I'm just wholly disappointed at the whole experience, I think Water Margin started off well but with the high rate of visitors they have been receiving, they have let standards PLUMMET enormously, including with the food, and now it's just all about making as much sly money as they can. The waiters don't know anything answers to any questions and it seems they are security as well as "waiters".Poor, poor, poor, I wouldn't encourage anybody with any type of standard to go and would even go as far to suggest their "filter" story be investigated.Need to buck up your ideas Water Margin!

Thank you for the weekend meal Water Margin!The only place at The O2 where you can eat on a budget and don't stay hungry, new décor and the new soup live cooking stations are all won me over, as promised the waitress: I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS RESTAURANT! :)

Couldn't get into Pizza Express so took a punt on this place, pleasantly surprised! I was a bit dubious with it being an all you can eat place but we could see the food was being regularly changed and was kept nice and warm. I'm not very adventurous with oriental food but I enjoyed everything I tried, well except the black bean sauce but don't let that put you off I just don't like black bean sauce! I would suggest visiting after a show and not before like I did because I took full advantage of all you can eat and did overindulge slightly!

I visited the Water Margin after watching X factor live 2011 (omg was so much fun!) me and my friends wanted to try something a bit different because pretty much all the main restaurants at the O2 are also on my local high street! We were absolutely starving after dancing for 3 hours so loved that we could ‘eat as much as we like’ for £14! Everywhere else was charging about that for 2 courses! All I can say is wow we were very impressed! There was so much to choose from. My friend Claire is really picky but even she left with a full belly as we could sample everything (and I think we did!) All the food was great but my favourite was the Chicken Teriyaki – highly recommended. The biggest surprise was the drinks prices, we thought as the food was so reasonably priced they would charge a fortune for drinks but no! A pint of coke was just £2.60! I don’t go to the o2 very often but the next time I do I will be sure to go back to the Water Margin, it is one of the restaurants furthest away from the main entrance but it well worth the extra few mins walk.

I go there at least once every 2-3 months. Prices are reasonable and food is tasty but the waiters put me off as they tend to stand in a group and stare.. I find it disturbing

I’ve been to Water Margin this Sunday with the kids (6yrs and 8yrs), and we had a great time! My little ones could eat anything they had in mind, so we didn’t need to wander around for ages to end up at a fast food place to please everyone’s taste. My favourite was the salt and pepper king prawn and the kids couldn’t have enough of the fruit cocktail and blackcurrant jelly. I was surprised by the other reviews; the waiters were very friendly with me and my family, so I would happily recommend this restaurant.

I went into Water Margin last week after it was recommended by a friend. My friend was right and I was very surprised to find an all-you-can-eat restaurant that offers ...well, good food! The curry dishes were not only full of flavour but had generous portions of meat unlike other buffets and take aways!

The price is very reasonable - less than £7 to eat, drinks are also good value and the service is exactly what you'd expect - friendly without being too 'in-your-face'!

I definately recommend it to anyone on a budget over Christmas!

I was lucky enough to get tickets for the ATP Roddick and Nadal match last night at the O2 so popped into Water Margin for a quick bite on the way with mates (glad we did, the 3rd set started after 10pm!!).

The food was so tasty - king prawns, lamb, beef in all sorts of different flavours! Had I known it was an all you can eat I may not have gone as it was pretty hard to drag myself away from the food!

What an amazing start to the week! - Thanks Water Margin - and of course Roddick and Nadal for the great game that followed!
