Reviews
Overall, it was a good experience that I'd recommend for doubles to families with kids. Good variety of food that should serve everyone's tastes. As a vegetarian, I can say that the food was good, but the only one that wowed me was the pizza, which was made fresh in front of everyone. Service was excellent, and I watched them give that same service to everyone. Cash only, which was a bit weird but not too much of an annoyance in the centre of town.
After reading all the negative reviews of this restaurant I knew this place was for me. Just take a look at the slop on offer. It's utterly glorious. There aren't many places in Dundee where you can stuff yourself silly and then suffer for the next 2 days on the bog, but this place manages it with flying colours. I will definitely be back.
Heard a lot of hype about this place and I finally understand why, but it’s not good… it’s a buffet and that’s about all there is to say about it.
The place looks very nice but the hygiene really starts to show when you’re there.
The food wasn’t great, with a lot being bland, greasy, dry or just plain terrible. I tried a wide selection here and it’s by far the worst buffet restaurant I’ve been too. Left feeling fine and within a few hours feeling very sick.
The teppanyaki was awful, it was just greasy and the squid I had wasn’t even prepped properly with eyeballs and insides all still apart of the final product.
Some foods were unlabelled and all deserts were terrible, with all cakes tasting bland or dry and the ice cream tasting bland as anything.
The toilets were disgusting and looked as if they hadn’t been cleaned in a while and had broken elements of both toilets as was made apparent by the rest of my party.
The staff were very quiet and hard to hear at points
There was a wide selection of food but not overly impressed.
Ultimately if you want a good buffet you’d be much better off going to Taza in Dundee, or travelling out of the city for Cosmo at any destination. Safe to say I won’t be back in any rush
First visit with family, and I wasn't disappointed . Wow, what a selection of wonderful food and plentiful. Something here for everyone. Great atmosphere. Friendly Staff . Lovely decor for a relaxing time . We'll with a visit .
Food and service was okay for some extent. But the person in the main door is disrespectful to customers. I think he is a manager there. He might be thinking that we come without money. He was really rude. Management should take some actions. He should learn how to behave. There are limited parking spaces in front of the place. And it’s so hard to get one. And the price is too high. There was no difference in the menu between lunch and dinner. £21 for the same food?? No way. Don’t want to go there again.
We had lunch in this buffet which we thought was Asian. And then when we got to the buffet there was also pizza / pasta / fries ....
There is a lot of choices in terms of dishes. Was not convinced by the Peking duck which was very dry. The korma wasn't very tasty.
I am not convinced about the food. And the service neither. The waitresses were not really present. They just came to pick up the empty plate but when we needed them they were looking elsewhere. The man who seems to be the owner was kind of rude when we arrived.
Not sure I will return there
A self service buffet with a wide sellection of Asian food, freshly cooked and very tasty.
Staff were OK but really only bring glasses for drinks and take away the used plates. They seemed disinterested in their jobs and customers, no engagement at all.
Not a great atmosphere, very 'canteen-like' despite the updated decor.
We went on a Sunday evening and the price £22.95 per person (cash only), despite having two kids: 8 and 12 that we had to pay full price for...!
Expensive for what it is. That is why I only give 3 stars.
I have nothing POSITIVE to say about this place. The food was cold and tasteless, the seats were uncomfortable, and the service was awful. There were empty chaffing dishes on display, absolutely unacceptable. Even though we paid more than £20 each for a buffet. Ridiculous! So, on our way out, we were asked about our experience, I expressed our disappointment and displeasure as first time customer. There was nothing to suggest they understood how we felt. The lady at the till just hurried us along to attend to the next customer. Will never go back there, ever!
