For around £15 you can attack the buffet as often as you wish selecting from a great range of freshly cooked dishes from around the globe. You DO have a time slot so there is a limit to the amount you can stuff into your face but there is ample time to get your fill. On the minus side (but in common with many eateries) drinking is expensive, we paid around £14 for a bottle of wine to save the £4 per glass price tag. In the main dishes were clearly labelled with allergy advice and the staff were uber keen to advise and assist where there was any doubt.

I felt like a harmonious place could be eaten here with many different types of races and cultures. I took over 20 photos of what the inside and what I picked for myself and also what some of the kids had as their meals. Overall they were soo soo excited and happy that they got to eat here and were able to pick and choose what they wanted! For the price, experience and less headache for the adults this by far was one of the best choices we made during our UK trip!

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?

Buffet Box is tucked behind the Merrion Centre in a little row of shack-style shops…read more Of all the takeaways in Leeds, this is by far the smallest, about half the size of your average one with a counter and standing space. They serve up fried chicken and burgery things, as you'd expect from a fast food stop. The trouble is, it just doesn't really appeal. With its big lit up sign, and its clearly visible stacked fried chicken boxes, it really just conjurs up images of a production line, with the poor man behind the counter either toiling over a large vat of oil, or just standing there when business is slow, which from the look of things, that may be a regular occurance..

The overall experience was pretty good - an introductory offer of £4.50 per person (usually £9) for an all you can eat with a range from Indian, Japanese, Chinese, Italian and English to choose from. The Japanese selection was a bit piffling (rather stale veggie sushi and some rather tasty chilli coleslaw type mush) but the other selections seemed pretty varied and (apart from the very chewy and bony lamb rib type things) generally very tasty, without the annoyingly salty overload of MSG overriding the taste of the food. They also do tap water for free (available in pint glasses on the bar), which is a good thing if you're not bothered about a) alcohol (I usually am, but it was lunchtime with work chums) and b) paying for more than your food. I didn't sample any of the Italian or English (I'm much more of an Eastern sort of chap when it comes to food) but I was informed by co-eaters that it was pretty good. What I did have was generally (rather like Ross Kemp informed us in the Fruit N' Fibre adverts many moons ago) tasty, tasty - very very tasty..* Very tasty : ) I'd definitely recommend this for a meal for a large party (there were 18 of us in total). The restaurant is laid out over 3 floors, which is a bit of a nuisance when carrying plates of food around (see reference above to not drinking alcohol..) but at least it helps you burn off a few calories in the process.. Dessert wise - no great shakes (or other milk based products..ho ho..) but really, once you're full of lamb Rogan Josh does it really matter?! The only odd thing about the seating we were allocated was the long chair that some of our party were sitting on (the ones with less foresight than myself). This meant that they had to up (chop)sticks whenever someone wanted to get out for another bout of culinary fisticuffs with some fried rice etc. Surely "all single chairs" would have been a much better idea? Apart from that - great, friendly efficient staff and decent food. What's not to like? : ) *Was it Fruit N' Fibre? Or was it some other breakfast cereal. I forget..

Masses and masses of food for a set price! Sounds like heaven to me. If someone offered me all the…read morefood I could eat for a set price I would definitely take them up on that. Speaking of which, I need some dinner. (.........Pause for dinner.........) Leeds City Center already has one 'All You Can Eat' in the form of Red Hot Buffet with another to open up shortly closer to the station. So with this in mind we entered into the newly opened Origin 7. Origin 7 is located in The Light. Situated on the first floor, sharing space with Vue Cinema and Virgin Active, this all you can eat establishment has a classier look and feel about it. Entering through an arch way you are asked to wait until seated. Once taken to your seat drinks orders are placed and the merriment ensues. One of the friendly staff, who was in this case the same guy that seated us, asked if this was the first time we had been. Knowing we hadn't he proceeded to explain the layout of the building. What we had not realised, and this was just from gazing across from Vue, was that this business was over 3 levels. This not only shocked me but also my company too. The building looks small from the outside. On the main floor (the entrance level) you will find a selection of Indian, Japanese and Desert options including a self-service ice cream machine. Located on the upper level, along with the toilets, are the Italian and English Carvery stations. And finally located on the lower level are the Szechuan and Chinese stations along with a hyper enthusiastic gentleman trying to get anyone to try Szechuan food with the phrases "Do you like spicy food? You tried Szechuan?" So what of the food I hear you say. Hold your horses, I am getting there (No horse puns please). As we were seated on the main floor we both opted to head towards the Indian station. Presented in perfectly clean, and covered serving bowls, the food looked highly appetising. Opting for the vegetarian options I tucked in and was immediately brought much delight. The food tasted on par with a good Indian restaurant. It wasn't amazing but it was good. This looked promising. Skipping over the English and Italian (basically Pizza and Pasta) I headed towards the Szechuan and Chinese. Looking over the Szechuan station I was limited for options. Being vegetarian normally doesn't limit me in Indian/Oriental food but to my dismay I was severely limited. In one hand you have a rock, in the other you have the proverbial hard place and stuck in the middle, like an over squeezed lemon, was me. 1 main vegetarian dish (tofu in chilli) and 5 bland accompaniment dishes lay before me. I tried the recommendations of the enthusiastic server and was severely unimpressed. The highlight from the Chinese section, even though it is a Thai dish, was the Thai Green Curry. Beautifully spiced and flavoured it was a delight to eat. This was a vast comparison to the sweet potato fritter that basically tasted of grease and batter. Desert time. Limited to say the least. A few mousse like options, 2 soft cakes (rhubarb crumble and cheesecake) both with limp looking and tasting pastry and peanut brittle. Peanut brittle? Why I will never know. What, luckily saved it, was the inclusion on an ice cream machine that churned out the creamiest and softest ice cream I've had in a while. It took me back to my seaside days, 5 years old, trunks and arm bands on, spade in one hand and ice cream in the other. Overall we paid about £10 including a pint of diet coke and left full, but disappointed. Yes the Indian food was good, but the general standard of the rest of the food not. The staff are friendly and attentive and the overall place looks good, professional and clean but, and this is a big but... "I like big butts and I cannot lie..." MC Hammer!!! Get out of my review, you're not welcome here (Oh I lie, he is always welcome). Anyway, as I was saying. The overall standard of the food is less than that of Red Hot Buffet. There are no 'Live Cooking Stations', less options in regards to the countries offered and the food quality is generally of a lower quality. Yes Red Hot Buffet is not brilliant, but it is consistent. I do want this place to work but changes need to happen to the quality of the food.

I thought it was just going to be the same business operating under a different name, and that would be it.. unfortunately not! On entering the venue it all looked pretty standard as you'd expect, when sitting they asked if we wanted drinks and took our order. This was the best part of the visit. The choices has been massively reduced from when it was No1, and I was disappointed that most of the dishes you'd expect at a buffet wasn't available (particularly missed egg foo yung) - but made the best of it & filled my plate for a starter. This was almost finished before the drinks arrived. Then it gets really bad - my friend finished her dish before me, and someone raced over & whisked it away then stood beside me waiting for me to finish mine (the place wasn't busy, and that's no wonder!). So, I went back for my dessert while my friend skipped hers.. again, straight over & snatched the plate away the moment I'd finished. We still had about 1/2 bottle of wine left after the food, but had the bill brought over to us without requesting it. I told them that we'd be paying by card to which they replied that we'd have to pay it at the counter on the way out. She then proceeded to just stand there waiting for us to go. I actually had to ask her to leave us to finish our drinks before we would be going out to pay. Definitely won't be going back again.

I remember it as No 1 Buffet, which was not an earth shattering experience but competent, clean enough and with more than your average range of choices. OBM had some nicely cooked dishes and was fairly clean- although dirty plates were left on tables for far too long considering there were only roughly 20 diners in the whole place. It was also friendly enough but after our wine came to the table we were hard pressed to receive any attention at all, the staff were disinterested. I think most disappointing was that the few nice dishes on offer were completely overwhelmed by piles of cheap fried chicken in slices, chips, nameless 'curry' and hot and sour soup that was apparently neither hot nor sour- falling more into the warm and halfhearted category. Did I get what I wanted at OBM? Yes. I got 3 plates of okayness for a tenner, a bottle of okay red wine for another tenner and some profiteroles for pudding. Will I go again? No. Next time I'll make the effort and vote with my feet for better choice, flavour and service.

There were four of us eating out after work ... Our first choice zizzi was fully booked at 6.30pm…read moreso one colleague said to try U buffet. It was only round the back of Leopold square so we went. The buffet has the standard dishes from spare ribs, spring rolls, sea weed (you know it's not really sea weed right?) to Peking duck. I only had a few things which were fine, nothing special. I then picked some veg, beef and noodles and they stir fried it for me with a choice of sauce. I didn't have any other mains. I went for dessert, where I tried the strawberry mousse, mango pudding and jelly! My colleague from turkey had to photo my dessert as he thought it was funny that it moved .. I guess he meant it wobbles!! One colleague had the ice cream so another guy got one too.. But as he ate it, he pulled a face and went to pull something out of his mouth.. It was a very long hair!!! I mean long hair!! A staff member saw what happen and came over to see, and the boss came over. They apologised and said it was not made by them and couldn't have been in it when they opened the tub, and that it must been a previous customers hair. This must been true as it was a long greyish hair. They took the bowl away. They had offered to bring a fresh ice cream but it never arrived. Our Turkish colleague went over and he told the staff to give our friend a fresh ice cream ... As he said in his country they would be angry if that happened! The staff were nice, food was okay but it looks so much like a canteen rather than a nice restaurant to take friends and family. We had a laugh chatting together so it made up for the lack of ambience.
