O/T Wokmania or Gekko buffet restaurant..

[Normandy seagull]

West Street Brighton- Went there before the game yesterday and a few other Albion fans were in there too. Truely the worst food I have ever tasted. The hygeine was also terrible- plates and cutlery dirty! I know it is only £6.99 but it was not worth that- just pleased I did not get food poisioning from the greasy MSG soaked food

Cheap and cheerful - you get what you pay for.

 

[jordanseagull]

Sorry WW, but it's not. That place in particular is woeful. Doesn't matter how cheap it is, the HYGENE should not be sacrificed.

 

[Safeway]

It's on West Street, what did you expect?

 

[Notters]

I never understand the appeal of eat all you can Indians and chineses, could someone explain?! Whenever you go to a normal Chinese or Indian and get lovely fresh-cooked food, you always end up with far more than you can eat anyway... Unless you're a real greedy bastard!

The Me Old China place on West Street is somewhere where I'll never go again. I went there years ago and there was glass in my food! Worst still, they tried to hide the evidence. I reported it to Environmental Health at the City Council that day.

Can't remember it's name but there is an eat as much as you like Chinese at the top of Boundary Road where you actually order off the menu but can do so as many times as you like. Pretty good. Also there are very few places that don't pre-cook something ( unless you're paying top notch prices ).

*** Edit - it's just come back to me - Oriental Village ! ***

Wokomania in Brum is vile

There is a Chinese all you can eat in our town, the time I ate there it pretty much put me off Chinese food for life...it reminded me of one of the 7 deadly sins, namely 'gluttony'...it was full of people stuffing their faces like food was going out of fashion...people pretty much fighting with each other to get to what was on offer...a really nasty experience.

 

[desprateseagull]

the chicken n chips place in west street seems ok.. though i wouldnt risk the loo's. fecking disgrace.

Not a patch on RFC though.

There is a good Thai restaurant in Bath Place in Worthing that does a lunchtime buffet of about 6 different dishes eat as much as you like for , I think it is £4.99, very good value and very good food. It is opposite the old snooker hall.

I agree that it's rare that you finish everything you are served when ordering off the menu at any half decent Chinese or Indian BUT for me the appeal of the all you can eat buffet places is when you're really feeling bad and just want to gorge on mountains of deep fried starters.

When you're ordering off the menu you'd feel far too guilty saying "I'll have two onion bhaji's, two meat samosa's, a chicken pakora, raami kebab, some sauce and a bit of bread to mop it all up"

I mean don't get me wrong, nine times out of ten I want to have a starter and a main with all the sides BUT every now and then you just want to go mental and at a buffet nobody stops you from piling your plate with spring rolls time and again.

There's one at the Hove end of Western Road too, Jade something I think. And in fairness their off the menu nosh wasn't too bad.

I think the genius of that system is that you still have to wait between sessions of ordering so you gradually start to notice how full you are as opposed to in a buffet where you are steaming through everything on your plate in an effort to get another round in. If you gave it time to register in the stomach you wouldn't eat half as much

 

[gullshark]

If I want all you can eat it's Days or nothing.

 

[BUTTERBALL]

Wokmania is filthy with disgusting gloop masquerading as an oriental buffet. Been twice - never again. If you want a self-select Buffet then go to Days or Buffet Island in York Place.

 

[Statto]

I went there last sunday, (7th feb), I found the food ok, but I thought the staff were a bit rude. We had to ask fo our bill 3 times. I wouldnt choose to go there again.

 

[Springal]

Isn't this where our superstars such as Dickinson dine?

Agree though, would never really go to a 'buffet' rather go to one where you can choose off the menu, like the one in Portslade or China Palace in Worthing etcetc

*** Edit - it's just come back to me - Oriental Village ! ***

Oriental Village is the biz and not because it's all-you-can-eat. The food is v.good quality IMO, and the ordering means you can try as many different dishes as you want. Have been there many times - always good.

 

[Gwylan]

Wokmania is revolting - been there once, never again.

Disagree about Indian buffets though - they can be top-notch (although the one in Ship St isn't).

There's great one in Bloomsbury that I go to when I'm in London.
