    They really made a nice job of the building I have to say!

    I must try the food some day, do they do take-away?

    Stumbled across this place during lunch on Friday.

    H-U-G-E thumbs-up from me! Gorgeous interior you won't be embarassed to take your wife to (amazing something like this could be built during the recession) and all the food was tasty, very large selection too.

    Galway was missing something like this. Will be a regular!

    Nothing particularly astoundingly incredible I had but it was all reasonable quality and the choice was v. good and the staff were very nice. Fecking army of staff in there they have..

    Was actually there today, was good value at 8.95 I think.
    Sushi was bland but the chicken and noodle dishes was good. Didn't have dessert but there was a chocolate fountain.
    Drinks are extra but you can get water free.

    A chocolate fountain? Like a real one with the gooey cocoa being dispensed ad nauseum? I'm so there..

    Was in there this afternoon also. It's seriously good value for money. I went in there starving, so tried to have a small bit of everything. Having been in Jimmy Chung's in Dublin I think this place is better.

    The Good
    It's cheap
    There is loads of different types of food
    They have a chocolate fountain (and it's savage) .... extra points when combined with their chocolate ice-cream, etc ;)
    The staff are really sound, constantly cleaning and there's enough of them
    You can have as much as you like (you pay in advance)
    Their dinner buffet has BBQ, Steak, etc (but I didn't have it)
    The decor is an vast improvement on the building (mind you I haven't been in there in about 10 years)
    They have beer (on tap) & wine (drinks are extra, pity ;))

    The Not-So Good
    I was in there toward the end of lunch, but some of the food could have been hotter
    Mind the step on the way in
    They currently don't accept cards, but they're just waiting for the banks to sort them out with terminals (understandable).
    It's not gourmet, you will have had better Asian food elsewhere, but the overall package is still great value. Compared to that feckin tube station of a restaurant in Dublin (Jimmy Chungs), it wins hands down.

    My recommendation: Try it at least once. Also if you plan to go on a serious session in town, this would serve as cost effective soakage beforehand.
    Would I go back: Yes!, but I'll need a while to fully digest what I had today first :)

    Ooo this place sounds nice. I popped Tesco's earlier & noticed it on the drive out. My google-fu lead me to this thread & from what I've read I think I'll have to give it a try next week :D

    When did the place open?
