American-style Chinese buffet in the middle of Istanbul, what's not to love? They do a great job…read moreon the "classics" like sweet and sour chicken and hot and sour soup. They do have some more Turkish items in their buffet lineup to satisfy the local crowd (borek...), but the core items are about as close to the US/UK version of Chinese cuisine as you will get in Istanbul. And, unlike some of the places in Atasheir and Bagadat St that seem to take advantage of Istanbul's upper-middle class in its obsession with high-status foreign stuff (*cough* Sushico *cough*), this one is very fairly priced at 19 liras for the buffet and 2.50 for soft drinks. It would get six stars if it wasn't in rundown, grimy, foreigner-infested Cevahir Mall, but dodging all the Middle East package tourists dropping hundred-dollar-bills for makeup and handbags is a small price to pay for a good Chinese buffet!

I do NOT recommend! My parents got food from here after landing late at night to get takeaway and…read moregot 2 people platter. Food was not really tasty and in our opinion the amount was shocking for the high price of 2100 lira ($65 USD). We felt scammed! I would find somewhere else to eat if possible. One small (around 6-8inch) tray of oily fries and one small, same size for meat for $64 is horrible in my opinion. Ask them to show you beforehand how much food they'll provide to be sure you know what you're getting! Please beware! And I'd advise to avoid! Especially as a tourist!

My friend did all the ordering and we ended up with an assortment of little plates of seafood that were delightful. The highlights for me were the octopus,the sea-bass and the anchovies. The staff was always attentive refilling our drinks and making sure we had everything we needed at all times. Totally recommended for a nice formal dinner in town!

We came here as a part of a group tour of about 30 people and separately as a single family. Both times, the speed of service was disappointing. The food itself is pretty good. We had several vegetarian and non-vegetarian curries, naan, rice, samosas, aloo Chaat and chai. Even the Turkish coffee was pretty decent. The price is reasonable I think. We would just like faster service. Definitely check out the view from the fourth floor if you're not able to get seated there.

Glass balconies....just spectacular. The servers will help you get the best photograph, too. I just had dessert here today and it was incredible. Also the fresh juices are wonderful. Super fresh fish dishes and many other options if you want a full meal. Of course it's more expensive than eating somewhere on the street but you're paying for the spectacular view and the service is exceptional. Get there before sunset. Have been in Istanbul for over a month and have taken photographs all over the place but for some reason (the location, height and the glass balcony) this is just a spectacular spot and the photos all look like they're out of a magazine. If it's too crowded on the very top level, just go down one level and there are more glass balconies there for great views and shots.

It was a good meal but not worth that much. We made the mistake of letting our server, one of the senior managers, choose our meal and didn't check the prices when agreeing to the order. You pay for your mistakes and it is a lesson learned. Pay attention and keep an eye on what the costs are. We saw several families check the menu and leave without ordering. Should have paid closer attention.
