After a long day shopping me and my mother decided to dine at the Inshanghai Buffet. It was quite a trek to get down to the restaurant which is located next to the river, but when we arrived we were greated by a polite waiter. The restaurant was quite busy but the young man showed us to our seats straight away and took our beverage orders, telling us to help ourselves.
The food is what you would expect from a typical Chinese restaurant. Being a buffet you expect the food to become cold after a while of being out, this is a downside to the majority of buffets. Despite the temperature of the food, it was still of good quality. The egg foo yung is a personal favourite.
If you are taking children to the restaurant they may not favor the food as most of it includes spices but the buffet also has chips, chicken nuggets, rice and other dishes suitable for children.
I went to the Chinese buffet with a large group of friends earlier in the year and they accommodate for larger parties, setting up an appropriate sized tabled within minutes.
The prices varie throughout the day. The A La Carte menu is around £11 but you get extra courses which are prepared to order and are delicious, you can order as many as you want as long as you finish the first one. I ordered the prawns in an onion sauce and I couldn’t help ordering another!
