Tess   10 #4 Posted September 15, 2008 Lol i've lived here all my life but I am terrible with directions. Its in Town though, only a two minute walk from Ponds Forge.  I think in the evening its about 7 or 8 pounds a head but it may have changed.

sierraman   11 #5 Posted September 15, 2008 Be careful of the 'wastage' charge some restaurants adopt on buffet nights, Zara's in Dronfield being one of them. Leave a dirty plate and you pay £2 for the privilege. In understand it is becoming common practice these days in Sheffield. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
hannahclarke   10 #6 Posted September 15, 2008 i am aware of the wastage charges and isnt my first tie ive been to a all you can eat buffet. just that im new to sheffield and am wonderinf on some new places to eat simelar to these buffet places as wokmania has gone bit manky lately with the cold food and the lumpy curries with no meat and re-heated rices.  thank you though Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

haddockman   10 #8 Posted September 15, 2008 Jumbos is off Arundel Gate (where the buses stop) around the back of the solicitors near GT News! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Dark Moomin   10 #9 Posted September 15, 2008 I believe Agraahs in leoppold square (by city hall tram stop) do a buffet on a Monday night.  They do!: http://www.aagrah.com/sheffield.php Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Jumbos is good too, just gets a bit noisy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
hillsgal   10 #11 Posted September 20, 2008 The absolute best place for Chinese all you can eat is the Chinese banquet at Wong Ting in town (turn left just after Woolworths on the Moor, it's upstairs on the right). It's £15 per person, but rather than being like a school cantine with lukewarm food that all tastes the same, it's a proper restaurant with waiter service (they also have an a la carte menu) - it's a great place to go if you're out with a few people. Basically you pay £15 each and you can choose as many starters as you want, then they bring you crispy duck (there's a veggie option for this as well) and then you order all the mains you want. The food is fantastic, the waiters are all very helpful and can recommend which dishes go well together and although it's more expensive than most Chinese buffets, it's well worth it! We went for my birthday recently and it was outstanding, I'm already planning to go again next year.  If you like Thai food, the Baan Thai on the end of London Road/Ecclesall Road (huge ornate building next to the roundabout on the ringroad) does a Sunday buffet which is excellent (I think about £10 each) and the East Ocean cafe (on the same road as Wong Ting) does a Sunday buffet of Chinese, Thai & Japanese food. All of these restaurants are streets ahead of the usual rubbish Chinese buffets like Wokmania and whatever that place by Ponds Forge is called.

It sounds very good-bit like one i have been to near mansfield-spring water-fabulous, but a bit far to travel to,was in area at the time.
