A popular Chinese buffet restaurant has closed suddenly.

The Oriental Buffet in Folkestone shut its doors without warning with a note posted on the door informing diners.

The sign in the all-you-can-eat restaurant in Rendezvous Street says it is shut “until further notice”, while on Google it is listed as “temporarily closed”.

Additionally, a statement on its website reads: “We are closed for maintenence until further notice, sorry for inconvenience caused.”

However, a listing for the building has gone up on an estate agent.

The listing, advertised by Motis Estates, offers the space for £2,500 per month to rent.

Described as a “large commercial unit” in the heart of the town centre it was also listed as a “recent instruction”.

The reason for the business shutting has not yet been confirmed.

The business has been contacted for further comment.
