    Ive been there twice for the lunch menu my wife and kids love it.

    Personally I think if the food was hotter rather than tepid warm it would be really excellent, but they will microwave your plate if you ask them.

    Other than that I cannot fault the place, the decor and staff are friendly and the value for money is excellent.

    The marshmallows and the chocolate fountain are yum

    I would love to know have they been visited by food inspectors yet, must put in a call to make sure they make a visit to them.
    Of course if everything is above board they have nothing to worry about.


    Whos lacking class now

    Page 32 of today's Advertiser takes the (chocolate!) cake:

    "Pan Asian" now encompasses Italian and Irish, as well as "Japenese" :D

    Like their idea of children under 1.5m eating for 1/2 price though, more sensible than an age limit. (I wonder what they'd say if a dwarf ... a real one, not KD sized, went in.)

    Was just down there an hour ago so currently satiated.
    Happy to report food was tasty and hot, traffic was a nightmare though with the school runs starting up again.

    Went there today with my two mates. Un-friggin-believable!

    Food was all labelled so I wasn't gambling with what I was eating. Everything was really tasty and hot. They brought fresh stuff out pretty often.

    Chocolate fountain was savage.

    Couldn't walk I was so full, had to move like a primitive cave man to get to the car.

    Best 16 beans I ever spent!

    I was there again this afternoon, spare ribs and beef with black bean was yum, I will have to get myself barred out of the place or I will bust my gut in there.

    Was there again on Sunday.

    Everything was lovely. There was no 1e pints though.

    Only thing I didn't like was the group of people who were of a certain ethnic group who were taking the pi$$.

    I went for lunch and thought it was great. Sushi is basic but perfectly acceptable. Fried noodles were lovely, as were satay chicken sticks.
    As part of a balanced diet etc..:). 9.50 no complaints!

    I was one of those friends. The poor guy nearly had to be airlifted out of Star King.

    But yeah. It really was amazing. I've never eaten so much in one sitting as the food really was very nice, frequently topped up and the staff service was fantastic. Will be back soon, but I don't think it's something you'd want to do too often.

    Food was poor quality. One or two things I had were disgusting. The grill was nice though and a few tasty things as well.

    I noticed some of the food was not hot enough as well.

    Overall, VERY hit and miss, don't think I'll be going back.

    15 quid for 3 plates is pricey?
    Not sure how much cheaper you want it.

    I have being there 6-8 times
    food nearly always seems to be tepid cold ,, no matter if i go there for lunch or an evening meal ,, thats the only thing that puts us off going there
    its worth the 8.99 but not worth 15.99 in my opinion

    deserts are not great quality at all

    and no chicken balls either

    I haven't been there as I am very wary of places that offer everything from Italian to Thai. Also I have yet to visit* an all-you-can-eat restaurant that offers good quality food.
    Would love to hear what others think of it!

    *haven't been to one in ages, I'm not a broke student anymore:o

    Yeah, I've commented before that I wasn't aware of Italy being in Asia!

    But I guess it's the sort of meal-out that suits some folks, so I hope they enjoy themselves there.

    Yeah I saw that was also Italian, but what in there is?

    Was it the King Prawns?, the chicken curry?

    Ah it must have been the Dolmio Singapore Noodles!

    Tulsi Indian Restaurant round the corner from the Augustine Church. Sundays between 1pm and 4pm. I was there last Sunday and was genuinely blown away by the quality of food, service and hospitality, especially with what I've come to expect from other all-you-can-eat buffets... well, Star King anyway...

    Selection isn't as vast as Star King, but there should be something to satisfy everyone, whether you like spicy food or not. 13 beans well spent, as you essentially get a starter, main course and tea/coffee for that price.
