Went here for my sons birthday. Great experience and very reasonably priced. All you can eat for $29.95. There is a catch though in that if you mix and match wrongly you can end up with some fairly average and unappetising meals. Luckily we got it right most of the time.

I had no idea what kind of place this was when I went in. We were there on a particularly busy night so we had to wait a while for our food to be cooked on the hot plate. I like how you can choose whatever you like, mixing concoctions and experimenting with meat, veggies, sauces, oils and herbs and spices. They also had pancakes and icecream which was nice if you can fit it in! They don't mind how many times you go back but the sign says, please don't waste food. I must say that the marinaded red meats plus chicken and pork was delish but the seafood (calamari) was dry, hard to chew and I couldn't eat it. Which could be a good thing in buffet anyhow I'm not sure! Overall a nice evening but don't go there expecting to eat at the same time as the one or many other people on your table. It is great value. Nice busy bustling atmosphere on this busy night. Lots of options

This is a fun "all you can eat" dining experience for people of all ages, in particular families. You get to select from a wide range of raw meats, vegetables, spices. oils and sauces and the cooks will sizzle the lot for you. This does mean you have to get up and on busy nights the queue can get a little long, up to 10 mins last time I was there - but it's fun and for those with an adventuresome taste - you can go a little crazy in your combinations. They do have suggested favourite combinations. Heaven for meat lovers. There are also many other choices found in standard buffets, soups, salads, chips etc. Finish with pancakes, ice cream and your favourite topping. Everyone likes it because they can all by their own creative chef.
