hi can anyone tell me when that new chineese 'flaming dragon' will be open for at the centertainment and also is it a restaurant or buffet?

It's open now and it's a buffet (very nice it is too I hasten to add)

It's open now and it's a buffet (very nice it is too I hasten to add)

oh cheers, do u know how much it is?:D

For adults in an evening its £9.90 according to their website.

£5.50 for lunch which is till 6pm

We went to Flaming Dragon this afternoon. £5.90 for weekend afternoon buffet. The soup was great but the choice of dishes wasnt that good. The temperature of the food was a little tepid as well. But as they say you never eat at a bad resturant twice!!!

The selection of food available after 6pm is miles better than in the afternoon and easily worth the extra fiver. Also, try to avoid 4.30-6.00 because they are winding down in preparation for the evening 'session'.

I really like the place. Good value and nice food (after 6.00) and really efficient staff too.

Food tastes good, appears good value for money

Blimming heck what do you want for a fiver? Of course some of it might be a tad tepid, it's an all you can eat buffet!

4 0f us went on boxing day in the afternoon (1st time )
we loved it , service was excellent , and food was well mixed , and HOT !!
we went again on 2nd jan , and took our parents ,
we all really enjoyed our meal , and again , the service was really good , and the food was all topped up , and hot
well worth the money in our opinion
we all really had a great meal :)
wouldn't hesitate to go again ,

Has anyone been to this recently? What is it like at Saturday lunchtime? We are thinking of trying it tomorrow.

Thank you everyone who suggested flamming dragon for somewhere to eat for my sons birthday. We went last night and it was brill, the food was spot on and my teenagers tried everything from sushi to little jelly pots. Loads and loads of dishes all hot, and even plenty of deserts!!! cost us £50 including drinks for 4? And kyle has been nicknamed billy 5 plates!!! Well worth a visit and will defo go again!! (small complaint tho "TOO MUCH TO CHOOSE FROM") :hihi:

We went yesterday lunchtime. Out of the choices of Wokmania, Jumbos and No1, this is the best. With it being a lunchtime, it was cheaper than your visit - under £20 for 2 kids and 2 adults.

Only criticism, they could do with a second entrance door as every time someone came in, a blast of cold air came down the eating area.

Other than that, very good. Very clean. Most food was hot. The staff were very pleasant. We're looking at it as an eating place for a children's party later in the year - it passed our criteria.

Has anyone been to this recently? What is it like at Saturday lunchtime? We are thinking of trying it tomorrow.

Didn't go on a Sat, but a Sunday evening and I can definitely recommend it. It's so much cheaper than the places in town, and i'd compare it most to Jumbos re quality of food (that's a good thing) but less cramped with a lot more decor and speed of replenishing food.

I'd definitely advise trying the random things that get brought over to your table, always something new, and the sushi is to DIE FOR! :D

My only qualm is if you're not very observative after acquiring a full belly, is to watch what they card machine's display staes if paying by card at the end of the meal, the waitress we had just handed it me, and of course I started to enter my pin- luckily I realised just in time before a £20 meal turned into something scarily more expensive!!!

It's excellent, lots of fat people though......

Went there for lunch on saturday, me, fella, 4 year old and parents, cost about 30 quid for the lot of us and drinks, (plus a couple of pints). Food was great, the place looked fantastic and was very VERY impressed by the Tepanyaki, that's what made it stand out for me, they cook a heap of prawns for you on it and you can watch the man do it. Much preferred it over the ones in town, and for the price can't go wrong.

Hi Tess

What time do they start with the tepanyaki? We have been for the last 3 Saturday lunchtimes, and really like it, but haven't seen this on offer. We get there as soon as it opens at 12 o clock.

We went about 12:45 and they were doing it then - maybe it's not every weekend? The prawns are delicious!

Hey,

Has anyone else been to Flaming Dragon at Centertainment? I went the other night and LOVED it, great food- amazing price plus they do student discount too. I think it was much much better than the other Chinese buffet restaurants we have in town- i've been to most of them and wasn't impressed. There is loads to choose from at Flaming Dragon and the food was all nice and hot (which makes a change, coz a few others I have been to have all had probs with this!) Would recommend it to anyone.:love:

But was it better than Jumbo?
I think not.
At least Jumbo caters for people of other backgrounds.
Flaming Background does NOT

Example: Jumbo at least makes an effort to serve Halal Chicken.

You have to remember that sheffield has a LARGE muslim population. What harm would it do to serve halal chicken at least?
If the chicken is halal, then everyone would be able to eat it.

At valley centretainment even the NANDO's and SUBWAY are Halal. They should take a leaf out of their book.
:rant:

Then you could argue that ALL establishments must serve halal chicken, granted a disk or two that was halal wouldn't be a major headache for them but there is plenty of vegetarian options available.

If Jumbo can serve halal chicken then why cant flaming Dragon follow suit???

Halal chicken from adams cash and carry doesnt cost anymore.
Im not asking them to take the pork off the menu or even to get hold of Halal Beef or Duck just the chicken!!!

Each to their own but what if people don't want to eat halal?

subway in centertainment is hallal and because of this i will not eat there as they have taken a lot of items off there menu which i enjoy so i find other place's to snack.

There are already threads about this place. Here's one (http://www.sheffieldforum.co.uk/showthread.php?t=431524&highlight=flaming+dragon)for example.

Threads merged.

This thread is about the restaurant. Can we stick to the discussion of that, please?

Thanks

I'm not sure about the halal meat thing- you would have to ask the restaurant itself. I much prefered it to Jumbo as Flaming Dragon's food wasn't cold, greasy and there was more variety. They also do teppenyaki where you choose your own food and they cook it for you there and then, kinda like a stir fry :) Think my work is going to book our Christmas party there- its cheap and the food is yummy.

After all the arguments, the main point remains - Is the food nice.

Myself and a friend are thinking of going there at some point soon and I wondered whether the food was still as nice as everyone said it was when it first opened.

The food is lovely GM-I don't know what some people expect for the price, I really don't! The temptation to hideously overeat means I usually feel as if I need a crane in order to vacate my seat though :hihi:

Thank you. :D

better at night than at lunch time - costs more but realy worth the extra

And still it's not expensive in comparrison to other places is it? About £11.00 if i remember right. I think it's brill:love:

I have been five or six times. I love the atmosphere and the food. The staff are really friendly and efficient too. The choice during the day is not as wide as it is in the evening, but then it is more expensive at night. I love the curly whirly ice cream too with the syrup on that is found next to the banana and apple fritters!:D

been a few times and its never been the same 2 times in a row....good value for kids though only £3.50

The food is lovely!:love:
The staff are always nice and friendly and the place is very nice and modern.
You come out feeling so fat that you can`t walk properly!:hihi:
Theres plenty to choose from.
can`t wait for the next time I go!:love:

is it nice there?

I went a few months ago and enjoyed it a lot. Going again on Friday, look forward to it!

ive heard its really nice there, although ive never actually been there myself :)

i used to like it myself until i read the hygiene rating on scores on the doors here: http://www.scoresonthedoors.org.uk/business/broughton-lane/211443/licensed-cafe-restaurant-etc/flaming-dragon
1 out of 5 thats cockroach rat infested rating

It's won the eatsheffield award for asian food, but can't pass a hygiene certificate..... eewwwwwwww

Anyone ever been here, it's the Chinese place in the Centertainment?

well recommended mate - been loads nad never dissapppointed - great service too

One of the best all you can eat places i have ever been, even on a very busy saturday night the service was fantastic, food Brilliant, and the atmosphere was brilliant.

its lurvleee!
I love it there, foods always great, staff are lovely and nice atmosphere

Guess it depends on what you are looking for / used to.......... Flaming Dragon has choice, is relatively inexpensive and gets very busy. Probably one of the better "eat as much as you can" places - I m just not that fond of that kind of experience.

I am selective about what I eat there as I don't think the quality of everything is fantastic - nor the authenticity. ........ not the kind of place to really impress someone with but good option for suiting lots of people (we went on a work do and there was something for everyone).

mikeybaby72 and me went there this afternoon.....lovely decor....lovely food.

We usually go to Jumbo...and I do admit they have won me over with their chilli prawns - which FD don't appear to do....but just fancied a change.

The minced beef soup was lovely. The bit where you gather raw stuff and they cook it for you was good too. And the Beef in Black bean sauce was to die for....it just fell apart like butter.

All in all a good experience....we will be going back....just wished they did chilli prawns :hihi:

I have been I like it but I was a bit disappointed one day but it was a bit late in the evening so I think that was why. That was the only time I was disappointed

Anyone ever been here, it's the Chinese place in the Centertainment?

every time we go its full and iam always to hungry to wait so end up in one of the other places

I think its good for £10, you get yor money's worth if you get two plates, though the duck was a bit dry

Just an update to say that ive now been and recommend.

If you want to eat plenty of cold low quality food and if you don't mind seeing people picking up food with their fingers and eating it as they walk round the food display and people going back with dirty used plates and kids helping themselves then putting it back after being in and out of the toilets and quantity not quality then give this place a try

I went and it was awful. I should have known better, like someone else said, what do you expect for £6. I wasn't expecting top nosh but I thought from some of the reviews it would have faired better than other buffet style Chinese restaurants. Every thing was really salty, even the beer, the sauces had a thick skin on and were gloopy. Never again. I rather pay more and have something decent. Thing is, two of us went and we had one drink each and it came to £17.00. We could have gone to Pho on London Road and had a far bettter meal for £5.80 each including drink.

Iv been a few times and its been really nice everytime i went! x

Not sure if it is different at night, but it was seriously terrible when I went at lunch. And the tepenyaki is mostly veg with a little bit of strange looking meat, if you can call it that. The prawns still had the poo tube down the back of them.Yuk

Been there 4 times,always been good

I went to Pho, awful, the beer was rock hard and the noodles tasted of the pooh from the back of a prawn. The prawns were clean though.

Just curious to know how beer can be rock hard??

He probably tried eating the bottle :hihi:

That made me laugh!!! :hihi:

Im not a big fan of chinese food but love flaming dragon :) been a few times and always enjoyed it.
The desserts are out of this world

Food tastes good, appears good value for money

I agree that the food tastes alright..unfortunately doesn't cater that well for vegetarians...but then again, what chinese restaurant does?

I've been here a few times and i absolutely love it!

However was there the other night and i overheard (no i wasn't being nosey but if you've been you'll know how easy it is to overhear people on the table on top of yours :hihi: ) a conversation between a guy and his missus.

He was moaning about the lack of quality in the food :loopy:

Number 1 it is an all you can eat restaurant not a michelin star joint

Number 2 have you ever eaten food of michelin star quality? You're saggy face and beer gut tells me that you probably haven't

Number 3 the amount of full tables and the number of people being turned away suggests that most of sheffield likes the food and dining experience there

Number 4 It is an award winning place so someone else likes it too!

If you don't like it, stop taking up the tables for those of us that do!

Rant over :D

i thikn it's okay there, handy if you are going to the cinema as you can get fed quickly. but i personally dont think its any better than Jumbos etc, just nicer chairs!

I love it, I think it actually has a cleaner feel than jumbos, i'm not saying jumbos is filthy but I think the flaming dragon just somehow feels cleaner. Plus they do sushi

I like the barbeque meats they bring round

I don't mind going as it's handy for the cinema. The meats in some of the dishes aren't the best quality but it's a buffet place so i'd expect nothing more. I keep going back so it must be alright!

Heard it's really good although I've not tried it myself!

I really like the Flaming Dragon, the food is great quality for a buffet restaurant and the choices are pretty decent. The only thing that annoys me is its always half an hours wait for a table and the waiting area can get crowded.

just to inform you flaming dragon as gone down hill big time was brilliant when it opened but as recently got bad hygeine ratings and we have been loads of times but recent times my prtner as gone mad with staff cause plates an cutelry have been dirty and we also found hair in food so its not that good and food as got pretty rubbish too .. jumbos never complained yet been goin there years

we went to flaming dragon at leeds last weekend and that one was 10 times better than ours

I went and it was awful. Already a thread running on this.

Well I personally feel it's the best of a bad bunch. The food was slightly less greasy here than it was at Wokmania or Jumbos, but I personally prefer paying an extra £5 and getting a much better all you can eat from a sit down restaurant

well i love it and im off there again 2nite mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

went there recently and the food was really bad! definately won't be going back.

I was dissapointed, thought the quality was pretty poor and wouldn't go back. Its also too big and noisy for my liking 'chinese on mass' not really my cup of tea.

I went last Friday, it was really busy, the food was great and fresh. Value for money.

I really like flaming dragon!! Been there a few times now, they're crispy ducks; just nom nom nom :D Prices are steep for the drinks, they should do re-fillable soft drinks but we can't have everything can we!! Wokmania went really down hill I think, I think it might have even shut down? Not seen it open for a while? Anyone got any news on it? Where else is a nice chinese buffet in Sheffield?

last saturday my 13year old daughter and her 2 friends headed off for lunch at the sfd table booked and hair done it was a treat they were so looking forward to a girly day, lunch and then meadowhall.they paid up front as requested each paid individually my daughter only had a 20 pound note so asked the waitress if that was ok the waitress came back with 4 pound change, my daughter said this was incorrect and after a few babbled words from the waitress off she went to get a colleague he was very abrupt and said that he would give her the other 10 pound and that they would check cctv and if she was found to be lying they would phone the police, of course this caused her great distress they rushed to eat there meal and went, one of the girls went home 2 hours later after being sick . I contacted the manager and after speaking to him he said he would investigate , he called me 2 days later but i was at work .I then called him several times but he did not return my call I managed to speak to him a week later after being told he was too busy to discuss it with me. He basically told me that my daughter and her friends were lying and that all customers are treat the same they were also only given water to drink and dare not ask for coke . I asked for the head office contact details but was told he could not give them to me i have also been on the website and tried to contact the pr department and it is impossible , is there any redress?

hi grumpy. Everytime we go there they always seem to be funny with the young un's, like you said they make em pay up first before eating, probably in fear of them doing a runner but i think thats wrong. If i was you id pay them a little visit and make a stance. They should'nt treat kids the way they treated your daughter, after all her money is just as good as anybody else's. good luck

It helps if you use the search function as there is already a thread on this place.

But yes it's c**p and poor quality, which is why I never go to buffet restaurants anymore.

Ugh, this is exactly why 13 year olds shouldn't be able to go to restaurants of this kind unaccompanied by somebody of a more responsible age.

If she is too scared to order a Coke do you really think she's old enough to be going without an adult?

They do make under 16's pay up front as my daughter and friends sometimes go for birthday treats, but they have never had any other problems there.

For comments and feedback:
pr@flaming-dragon.co.uk
Isn't google wonderful?

simple just dont go back if the staff are rude or manger will not responced to your emails/phone calls ect spend your hard earn money else where

Thanks chooklady for the direct email to Flaming Dragon.

They used to provide excellent service earlier, don't know what has happened to them now!

To be fair what do you expect? It's not like it is expensive or that they are anything above the likes of Jumbo.

i agree i and a group of friends went to Flamin Dragon after making a fuss demanding we pay as soon as we sat down we found the service quiet disgusting we knew we were being talked about and we felt like because we was a group of older teenagers we were being singled out (if that makes sense) it was a joke and we couldnt wait to leave x

They probably get loads of kids doing a runner, its the kind of thing you might do when you were 13. I dont blame them.

Dont go to scubber places and then you won't be treated like a scrubber..

Ah the joy of chinese buffet restaurants....

i enjoyed it plenty to choose from. recommend going after six though to get the crispy duck pancakes

I went again last week to give it a second chance. It is absolute rubbish, even by buffet standards.

God knows how long they keep the food for, it tastes like it has been there ages, and I bet at the end of the night they keep what hasn't gone and put it out for lunch the next day.

Utter Kak.

We went 3 weeks ago and have to agree. Very poor.
I suppose the problem is that it's catering for people who just want to fill their faces for the cheapest amount and don't really care about the quality.
Oh, and it was the worst crispy duck, and easily the worst sushi I've ever had.

I agree, been once and won't go again. The beef dishes were truly awful, the beef was either beef substitute or had been injected with jelly, nasty.

I went here months ago and will never go back....I got really bad food poisoning. Went at a bad time tho as we went at 6pm and the food had probably been sitting around since lunchtime. :(

Going tonight so ill report back on my opinion :) Upto now very mixed opinions!

I've only been to hear and number one in town and would say that flaming dragon is definitely the worst. Everything tastes the same.

Although they do have a fruit volcano; yes, a volcano made of fruit!! Surely this makes up for eating the same dish from ten different trays?

I've been to number one and Jumbo's Jumbos being by far the Best of the two but hopefully ill be in for a good night tonight !

If you think Jumbo's is the best then your in for a treat tonight QUiiNY :) Jumbo's is awful and filthy!

Its QUiiNNY ;) and wooooo looking forward to it now then looks like its been slated in this forum more than anything!

I was thinking about going tonight. I've not been since last year but it's got so many mixed reviews.

I think I might go to the Handmade Burger Company instead. Anyone been here?

I've personally picked to go there tonight because i like chinese buffets and its looks really nice, you cant judge on a mixed reviewed post as your taste is different and the only way to know whether or not you'll enjoy it is by going and trying it :) if its bad i wont go back. Simple.

I enjoyed it the first time I went but the second time wasn't so good.

I do love chinese food though and that's what makes me want to go back.

We have got 2 for 1 vouchers for the Handmade Burger Co so might try there :).

I've been there a couple of times and the spread is pretty bland and the larger is awful. Not sure where is good to eat on centretainment now. Handmade burger co is ok but nothing special.

It's not bad for people who like cheap food and can pile it high, who have no idea what quality food is... if this sounds like you then you will love it. Infact almost everyone on Sheff forum sounds like this... as long as there is loads of food and it's cheap,then im in. Most people on this forum are not interested in quality, just interested in how cheap it is.

I think it depends on occasion. Whilst I wouldn't go there for an anniversary or birthday meal, I would go there for some nosh before the cinema, or just to have a catch up with my friends. Doesn't mean I don't have taste ;)

That is exactly what we do.

It's just more convenient to get something to eat there and go straight to the cinema. And that is the reason why they can charge so much - it's convenience food.

It isn't the greatest but I wouldn't say it's terribly poor.

I went on a Saturday and it was packed, you had to push to get near the food and the queues of people made it really slow to get to a dish that you wanted. I didn't think it was any better than other Chinese buffets and quality wasn't that good. Guess being that busy shows how popular it is but I wouldn't hurry to go again.

Was ok when we went, pleanty of food and nice taste x

Sorry! :hihi:

I much prefer it to the other two, let me know what you think!

I have to say I really enjoyed it, at first I was a bit overwhelmed by how busy it was but it soon quietened down. The food was very nice and tasty and I did make my self feel rather sick I eat that much ooopss!. :hihi:

Ive been a few times, and unlike some of the 'snobs', I do eat at rather expensive resteraunts, but this is great as a 'last minute' thing or as some say just before the cinema/concert. Thought the food was great, the beer is typically like most resteraunts, like water, but all in all, not a bad place and will be going again.

Stop being so snobbish and trying to make yourselfs sound posher than you are. You live in Sheffield for god sake

Couldn't have said it better.

I like Flaming Dragon, however for just a couple of quid more I have to recommend going to Wong Ting on Matilda Street off The Moor where you can have a nice sit down meal, eat all you want, and its brought out fresh to your table.

Flaming dragon has gone down hill in my eye's! used to be great, but now the prices have gone stupidly expensive AND also did you know they fill the dishes up with loads of oil to bulk the dish out and making you get full faster!! jumbo in town also do it!!

I agree. We were going to go the other day prior to going to the cinema but as it was now £12.99 each plus the overpriced drinks on top of that, we decided to give it a miss. Pity because we used to like it but now i think it's overpriced for what it is.

I know it's still not too bad for a sit down meal but the price is now in the range of other, better restaurants so they may lose out to them.

I love it too, never been disappointed!

I used to like it but like many others the increase in price has put me off. I have been twice in the past couple of months and the quality of food does not seem to be as it was when it first opened.

We're going tomorrow lunchtime. I've been in evenings but never at lunch. Is there a lot less food choice or much the same as evening?

We usually go at lunch time when me and the wife get a day together and it's not too busy then.

Food seems ok the only problem I have is that everytime we go the coke seem really weak, almost like water.

Other than that it's not too bad bearing in mind the type of restaurant it is.

Jumbo's have the cheek to get you to pay for your meal before! Like paying for your petrol in case you drive off...really annoying. Well that extra drink and extra coffee I was gonna order...I didn't cos I couldn't be bothered to pay for it again. Also got charge 10.99per head for my >9yrs kids (just) who ate like birds anyway.
Nice food, but rude staff, overpriced for kids and paying upfront goes down like a lead balloon

we went friday 14th of dec food was poor and also cold and the staff did'nt want to know

we went friday 14th of dec food was poor and also cold and the staff did'nt want to know

weird you should say that i have been 3 times since moving to sheffield in september and found it to be excellent BUT i went in on friday and was massively dissapointed food and service was poor and it seems to have gone up in price

harvester from now on i think :)

I went when it first opened and for a buffet it seamed quite good. Went there a couple of times more in the following months and the food quality just got worse and worse. My mate even got food poisoning. I'll never set foot in there again, Disgusting place :gag:

we had a waitress there recently that hardly spoke any english and seemed totally confused by an order for a coke and a beer.

what did you expect? silver service for £6? its cheaper then McDonalds when you work out how much you can eat.

dont know the price as i wouldnt go to such a down market place, i doubt they will be using halal meat,

You can't beat Noodle Inn on London Rd. You get a massive plate of your choice of noodle or rice topped with whatever dish you fancy. The crispy pork is to die for and all for less than a tenner freshly prepared.

Shame you know nothing about Chinese food, As the head chef has left 4 Months ago and the quailty is so poor now most Chinese people wouldn't eat there, only the student and the poor chinese eat there now

How do you know it wasn't over 4 months ago when Verona last went ?

As you seem to know an awful lot about chinese restaurants maybe you could enlighten us as where you would recommend as I always seem to pick the wrong one.

Noodle Inn has always been consistant with good food , we go quite often and cant say i have noticed "the poor food" always full of chinese but i cant tell the difference between rich chinese and poor ones, they all seem eat very well.

Verona, the crispy pork is amazing

thank god for that its just a pity anybody uses halal meat

I wouldn't go to any place that serves halal meat.

Meow! You don't know anything about me. I could be Ken Hom for all you know!

I think JZA80 is Ken Hom!

To be fair what do you expect? It's not like it is expensive or that they are anything above the likes of Jumbo.

Aside from the drastically different food hygiene scores http://www.scoresonthedoors.org.uk/business/jumbo-chinese-buffet-sheffield-771691.html. :gag:

Where is the Flaming Dragon ?

I've found most of the staff really rude and unprofessional. I don't care what people say about the price when your paying for a service you should be treated with respect.

Which Flaming Dragon are you all on about, whereabouts in Sheffield ? I don't know because I live outside Sheffield.
