Food was warm, not alot of choice as they were only cooking a quarter of the food as restaurant was not that busy, would not go back there in a rush

Always quick and easy to eat here and the pricing isn't too bad. They have a crazy system for kids food pricing, which runs by how tall your children are though. The taller your kids, the more they pay! The food is tasty though and there's a decent amount on offer. The dining room is alright and there's always relaxing music playing.

Went in on Bank Holiday Monday. Wasn't impressed. Very prompt with the drinks but we were hanging around waiting for 6 out of 15 mains to be replaced. The food was nice but nothing special. Good for a quick bite as its all you can eat buffet style and can get parking ticket sorted. Wouldn't be my personal choice out of the great places to eat in the surrounding area.

The food was average. But after my partner used the toilet and came out and told me the state of them we quickly lost our appetite. If the toilets are that bad what's the rest like? The cleaning schedule was already signed for 10pm that night.. we were in there at half 7...?

It was lacking any atmosphere.. get in, get food, get out. No background music at all. McDonald's is more welcoming. Was gutted.
For £15 I could have had a pub meal and been more satisfied. Won't be returning.

Poor. We were made subjects of discrimination here. The big lady on the counter asked if we were all paying together or separate? Our response was separate please.
The big lady then made us pay up front before we could eat.
We then sat next to the till the entire time and watched other people walk in and not pay until they had eaten.
Food selection wasn't too great. Deserts werent either. The chocolate on the chocolate fountain tasted terrible. The ice cream was very runny.
Had to wait for noodles and chips to come out which took around 5 minutes.

If you're going to go, make it a weekend. The midweek buffet is good but has nothing on a weekend evening.
Food is always good here, lots of choice for young kids and fussier eaters - chicken nuggets, chips, onion rings, that sort of thing.
And for those looking for chinese food it's of a good quality. Service is fast and the staff are lovely and help wherever required.

Good quality food but not much variety between lunch and evening availability.

Clean all round, but staff overworked so "occasionally" your empty plates stack up until you leave, but tables are cleaned quickly upon leaving, and buffet area is cleaned frequently during service, so not a complaint but an observation.

Staff are helpful and when restaurant is quieter are attentive, but as said above are overworked when restaurant gets busier.

Accommodating as best as possible for disabilities, if a little congested when busy.

Overall good experience over the years, and have rarely been properly disappointed.

Best place in Cardiff. Fantastic range of choice, excellent food and service. My favourite food is chicken and all the chicken dishes are brilliant. I have seen posts on here complaining about the chicken and I simply don't understand it. I am quite local and have eaten here for years, taken guests here and even European project groups and they all love it. Everybody has a view I guess and mine is on the super complimentary because I love it here. My advice, ignore all of the reviews, good and bad and try it once for yourself, it really is a must try venue and you will know whether you want to come back or not. Daytime half the price of evening so obviously a greater choice in the evenings. Good luck
