    So i have been looking at this for a few weeks now and wondering if anyones been to it,

    It seems very over priced for what it is and where it is.

    Anyone been in it and can say if it's worth €17 for a all you can eat?

    I haven't been but some of my friends have and they gave it the thumbs up.

    If you go before 5pm, it works out a lot cheaper.

    Is it chinese?

    forget that, just saw the yelp link!

    €17 does sound a bit expensive

    There's a place in monkstown called Amerta, €12 all you can eat, all the time, it's not a buffet though, you order what you want (as much as you want and as many times as you want) so it's all freshly cooked for you rather than sitting around under heat lamps. It's a bit of a trek from Dundrum but if you were somewhere in the middle it's worth a visit.

    It is indeed, just the prices change all the time and seem a little steep

    I told you about this before silly!!!

    It's just down from spar in the village, the road that heads to the sea, beside the bathroom shop.

    Used to live down the road from the place, was great! At one stage it was €10 for all you could eat, me and herself went down there and stuffed ourselves on something like 9 starters each. Only thing is there is a smaller menu for all you can eat as opposed to the "normal" one

    Food is nice, service is good and its ALL YOU CAN EAT!!!

    Surprised so many people have given it the thumbs up.

    From what I've heard it was absolutely dreadful. The stuff they served you wouldn't feed to a dog apparently.
