JRC Global Buffet Cardiff Bay

First time I've been here and won't be the last. Looks small from the outside but huge inside . Foods from the 4 corners of the world in Cardiff bay. Book to avoid disappointment 👍. Went back for a 2nd visit and the choice has vastly improved with a chef cooking fresh beef steaks and lamb chops infront of you .

The place is just so lovely with varieties of foods. All the foods that I tried was delicious. I wish I could taste all but I was full. Next time, l would like to taste remaining foods. The staffs are also friendly and cooperative. Simply Loved it. Overall a good experience 👌

Most of the food was cold. The soda was flat and don't have a lot of drink choices, for being in the UK you would think they had a gin & tonic but no such luck. The only good thing was the desert but ice cream was molten and too soft. You have 1.45h to eat we left after 50min will not go again.

What a fantastic place for food all those different cuisines in one place, got taken here for a treat by my daughter & son in-law before the Rugby on Saturday wales v all blacks.
The food very impressive, such a lot to choose from,I’m having to go back to try the food I didn’t get to try .absolutely delicious hot & tasty .the restaurant lovely & clean, staff very helpful & attentive, well worth a visit especially if you have young children, No reading of menus just walk them round & let them choose. They also have pizzas , chips, jelly oh yeah a massive selection of puddings. Please give it a try . Christmas is coming an ideal place for all the family
See my pictures yum

Where do I start. This was by far the worst experience I’ve ever had in a restaurant. We were greeted by a very obnoxious manager called “vj” he was extremely rude and condescending. How he spoke to me and my family was not professional at all he actually made us initially not want to proceed with our booking. after poorly explains their bizarre policy of charging a 3 year old £11 because of his height. Another guy popped out called Andrew young claiming he was the owner of the restaurant and they all tried teaming up against me while I questioned their ethics and how they are speaking to customers. The rest of the experience unfortunately followed suit with the reception part, the food was okay a lot of it was still cold really dry or over cooked. It is definitely not worth £22pp. The chairs are all falling apart and peeling and the ceiling is leaking. They made a make shift bucket with tissue stuffed inside, right behind a customers table. I would highly recommended avoiding this restaurant, it is not family friends nor is it child friendly. There’s many more beautiful places to go to at the bay that will be a lot more suitable.

Standard all you can eat. £22.50 pp
All in all an okay experience. I'd highly recommended booking in advance as the place gets extremely busy and that can leave you waiting for a seat for some time. They offer a wide range of food from Chinese, Indian, British and more. The food stalls are always topped up and its pretty easy to get up and get more food when needed. I believe you have a maximum time you can stay but this isn't really a concern unless your planning on eating you body weight in food or get all your monthly calories in.

Disgusted with how we were treated as a family birthday outing meal. We were celebrating my nieces birthday and we were a group of 5 but only 4 to eat as my 71 old mother doesn't eat the food but wanted to share the day out. My sister is disabled and needed my mum with her and my 71 year old mum was happy to order a drink but we were told if she don't eat she don't go in and she would have to sit n the waiting area for us😳..... shocking. No understand, no empathy. Manager was not very helpful or sympathetic to our situation would not recommend or ever return to this restaurant!

Updating my review from 3 stars to 4, upon another visit... Well organised and good service. Food had a lot more variety, was hot and the place was really clean with consistent cleaning and clearing. Taste seems to have improved.

Previous review from about 2 years ago: Food didn't taste that amazing, especially for the price. The usual options but the dessert was not great tasting nor well presented.
