Buffet City - Plymouth

First visit here and definitely won’t be going back. Staff were pleasant enough but food was awful. Nothing was hot more like cool which was worrying. All tasted bland and not much Chinese food. Lots of English rubbish. Main problem though we both had tummy upset next morning and I spent all day running to the toilet!!!

The stuff friendly enough but the food was terrible seriously bad I ate out of guilt as I didn’t want my friends to feel upset I did not eat a lot tho yes I got a few times n visited the buffet but had little food in my plate .That was my first and last time there

Used to go here regularly a few years ago and was always satisfied with food and staff etc. Unfortunately, the wheels have come off. £15.99 for adults, half price for kids, for a basic buffet. Staff were unfriendly. They charge you before the meal. Probably so you don't do a runner. As I said, food is basic. Rice, noodles, steamed vegetables, sweet and sour, curry, etc. The normal prawn toast and nuggets. Definitely not worth the £16. However the food is edible and it's cheaper during weekdays. Won't be going back, unless they improve.

Last went here just before COVID, so a bit cautious having read some of the recent negative reviews but my daughter wanted to go, so we did! Went for tea (or dinner, depending on where you’re from! , arriving at approx 6pm. Restaurant was busy and had a good atmosphere. Plenty of space around tables and going to/from the buffet area. Yes, the selection is fairly limited but it’s a Chinese buffet not a world buffet, so you’d expect that. The trays were kept topped up and the food was a nice temperature. We both went up 5 times and tried most dishes on offer. We enjoyed everything we had apart from 2 things the sweet and sour chicken had a weird taste and the filling in the chocolate eclair was weird too. The rest was really nice. The price is value for money and we would go back.

Let's be honest the food although in abundance was rank, dry, over-cooked, too salty and over flavoured with monosodium-glutamate designed to make you buy more drinks. The proud owner strutted about with his chest pumped out, wearing a baseball cap and sporting a rather egotistical ponytail. The clientele saw several families and people with no respect or manners for other diners. A restaurant no matter how bad the food is a place considered a calm place to dine at ones leisure. Some clients were very loud, bullying others over their kids ransacking the food and very unhygienic (these were regularcustomers). Avoid at all costs because we warned you!
