Words cannot describe how good Karen Wong's chinese resturant is. It is opposite the police station at st lenords. Not exactly a buffet, but 6 courses for ?20 is what I call great value, we couldn not move after it. Very kiddie friendly. Just wait until you meet Miss Karen Wong, she is hillarious, a very very very funny woman, she is nuts. http://www.list.co.uk/place/102761-karen-wongs-chinese-restaurant/ http://www.karenwongchineserestaurant.co.uk/home.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having read "Kitchen Confidential" by Anthony Bourdain I would never recommend a buffet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Pressleyno1 Posted July 16, 2008 Share Posted July 16, 2008 Agree with Jimmy chungs.http://www.jimmychungs.com/ Oh please don't goto this place, it's actually pure rubbish. I prefer buffet king to Jimmy Chungs, and thats saying something. If you're after chinese Karen Wong will fill you right up with QUALITY food. If it's indian cuisine yer after try Red Fort on Drummond Street, looks pap from outside, inside its amazing. You can have a 4 course meal for ?11. Very very good, and again you won;t be able to move after it. IF, you finish it, which i doubt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gershwin Posted July 16, 2008 Share Posted July 16, 2008 Don't go to that Spaghetti all you can eat place at the top of Leith St. It's horrific. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chester copperpot Posted July 16, 2008 Share Posted July 16, 2008 I tend to find most mass produced food buffets are best avoided. The only one I've actually enjoyed was a Chinese Buffet out at Uphall, the something Palace but the name escapes me. I dont see the point in going out for food and going to an all you can eat middle of the road restaurant. Would much prefer to pay a bit extra and enjoy my food. I know that's not always the best option for kids though, as the OP pointed out that he had. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

frankblack Posted July 16, 2008 Share Posted July 16, 2008 It's closed down now mate. Not surprised - went there last year for some scoff during a stag do. Even the Pizzas were guff and that is hard to do. Ended up nearly chucking up what I did eat there - truly awful place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are talking about lunchtimes (probably only through the week), Pizza Hut is great. You can keep going up for as many slices of pizza or pasta as you want and I think you can get refills on the soft drinks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ribble Posted July 17, 2008 Share Posted July 17, 2008 Chop Chop chinese on Morrison St is superb, not exactly a buffet but it works on a points system! I was in a group of 5 and we thought we had ordered loads but the waiter said we had only ordered 12 points worth and it was 3 points per person! The menu is mostly chinese dumplings either boiled or fried, noodles and side dishes (Aubergine in Garlic is amazing). Once you have ordered they just bring you whatever is ready first so the steady stream of dishes arriving at your table gives it the feeling of a buffet! By the end of our meal there was a plate with 5 dumplings sitting in the middle of the table and not one of us could eat another mouthful! The meal came to about ?15 a head!! They also do a lunch deal of a noodle dish, dumplings and 2 sides for ?5.50! Decor really is cheap and nasty but the place is always busy because of the great food(They recently started supplying Sainsburys with a range of dumplings) The fact that every time I have been there has been at least 2 tables of chinese people sitting, says it all really !
