    点心 鼠 Dim Sum Rat say:…read more Old school dim sum and Cantonese buffet restaurant with attached cooking school. Make sure you ask for the dim sum menu. Standouts: Truffle with gold dumplings heavenly (they are the price of gold too!) Mushroom dumplings rich and delicious Not so good: Interior is very run-down Service Can be lackluster; good if you are assertive

    Having finally climbed down from the ceiling after my last pink gloop injection at Crown Buffet I…read morehave decided to give it a review...and I was rather surprised to find myself the first to do so. Can it be that only a select band of us are propping this business up with our monthly pilgrimage to Pork and Prawn Land? Or is it simply that the regular clientele are so coked up on MSG that they are too syndactylus to operate a keyboard. Both are viable explanations. To find Crown Buffet you will need to wander into the ZombieLand behind the bottom of the Headrow, where once there was a thriving Chinese community with supermarkets, restaurants and a crackingly kitsch pool hall. Thankfully Leeds Council stepped in to 'redevelop' the area. So now there's nothing. In true Never Ending Story style you have to walk past 'The Nothing', under the ring road and there amongst the Squirrel Storage (who knew they had gone high tech?), abandoned office blocks and people who want to save on parking and are prepared to walk you will find a fantastic old school board building that has been converted into the only functioning chinese restaurant in the area. Crown Buffet is not going to win any internal style awards, unlike my digestive system- which I have been told personally by a Gastroenterologist is "Fabulous!". Think school canteen where the children get to eat nought but sugar and you have the idea....in fact you have the review right there. For around £6 during the day and £10 after 6pm you can gorge your sweet ass senseless on some frankly pretty well prepared, cleanly presented and varied Chinese and Mongolian classics. And there was me thinking I would never ever get to use the term 'Mongolian classics' in my entire literary experience. There's even a Mongolian grill where you can pick your meats and choose from exponentially hotter sauces to be combined in front of you by a very warm person wielding a very large pan over a very large flame for your amusements. And there's a wide choice of pudding from fruit to cake to ice cream. So why just 3 stars? Well I just can't get past the bright lightbulbs, trestle tables and overwhelming feeling that I'm sitting at an oriental Butlin's feeding trough. The food is GREAT, the staff are friendly and you'll waddle home hugely content if not more than a little uncomfortable but it lacks that one key thing.....being an actually vaguely Chinese experience. Come on Crown Buffet. Give me a few fans on the walls, a splash of red, some plant life and that Whitney Houston type singer belting out show tunes in Mandarin as I cram your various good and tasty things into my excited maw. Or at least give me chopsticks. Pretty please?
