Chief Changs Buffet

I am a huge fan of all you can eat buffets, and always try to find new ones, to see which one is the best bang for buck ratio.
In this buffet it would, as another reviewer suggested, be better to eat the 9,90 itself.
The food lacks taste, which is interesting since its quite salty.
The meat is full of bones, which I do not mind, as long as the taste makes up for it, which it did not.
Everything tasted like it had been there for days, kept warm under the light. All crunch was gone from the batter used for the varies coated dishes.
The spareribs had to be fished out of some kind of chemical red soup, which made me skip them before even trying.
The litter bags were standing in a corner, if the would have been intransperent, okay, but they were not.
Definitely not a place where I will come back.

All you can eat for 9.99 and includes jumbo prawns which wouldn’t always be included in a buffet. I think though for 9.99 a beverage should be included.
Location is odd and out of the way, hardly good for business, but the surrounding are quite nice and views of Grafton Street and stephens green are lovely!
This buffet would be mid-​way between a standard Chinese buffet place and Jimmy Chungs.

All you can eat, so long as it is only one of five things.
Price: Technically under a tenner, if you don’t care to have a beverage.
Food: Awful. The tenner itself would taste better.
Service: Polite. You don’t really interact with anyone past paying for the buffet.
Atmosphere: It’s at the top of the shopping centre. The day we went there it was rather warm and stuffy. The décor is your stereotypical plastic Asian theme. Rather tacky.
My experience:
After being spoiled by Jimmy Chung’s 10 Euro buffet on the quays, one can easily imagine my disappointment of this ‘buffet’.
The ‘starter’ items on the buffet are non-​existent. A spring roll and some prawn crackers. The ‘mains’ are equally lacking. One of four or five options, none of which vary too much from each other — such as sweet and sour chicken, fried chicken, general tsao chicken. Basically, it is as if the ‘chef’ took chicken and gave you the option to pour a very select group of marinades atop of them.
The dessert section was equally appalling. Whereas most buffets have some form of confection… all that was available was gelatin and some manky slices of banana.
The entire buffet line is a one-​sided column of 6 yards long.
Even if you don’t mind the small selection, you won’t take much advantage of the ‘all you can eat’ — because the food itself tastes so rotten. My companion and I could barely stomach the rubbery and grey chicken, no matter how much sweet and sour sauce we soaked it in.
Avoid this place.

Chief Changs, and all the great value contained within, is hidden away on the top floor of Stephen’s Green Shopping Centre. This is a travesty, an outright travesty. People who consider the words «all you can eat» a challenge hate stairs. They really do and, judging by the occasional squeak, stairs aren’t too fond of them either.
Which is why it is my duty, as a Unilocaler, to spread the word on this Asian Buffet. If I don’t do it, they may never find out.
