American-style Chinese buffet in the middle of Istanbul, what's not to love? They do a great job…read moreon the "classics" like sweet and sour chicken and hot and sour soup. They do have some more Turkish items in their buffet lineup to satisfy the local crowd (borek...), but the core items are about as close to the US/UK version of Chinese cuisine as you will get in Istanbul. And, unlike some of the places in Atasheir and Bagadat St that seem to take advantage of Istanbul's upper-middle class in its obsession with high-status foreign stuff (*cough* Sushico *cough*), this one is very fairly priced at 19 liras for the buffet and 2.50 for soft drinks. It would get six stars if it wasn't in rundown, grimy, foreigner-infested Cevahir Mall, but dodging all the Middle East package tourists dropping hundred-dollar-bills for makeup and handbags is a small price to pay for a good Chinese buffet!

I do NOT recommend! My parents got food from here after landing late at night to get takeaway and…read moregot 2 people platter. Food was not really tasty and in our opinion the amount was shocking for the high price of 2100 lira ($65 USD). We felt scammed! I would find somewhere else to eat if possible. One small (around 6-8inch) tray of oily fries and one small, same size for meat for $64 is horrible in my opinion. Ask them to show you beforehand how much food they'll provide to be sure you know what you're getting! Please beware! And I'd advise to avoid! Especially as a tourist!

Very good traditional turkish food. We loved our chicken dish and hummus. Bread was ok, didn't…read moreseem out of the oven as some others. Veggie Casserole ok, average. service and food quality were A+ overall. would return just for the chicken. I wish I could remember the name of the dish. It wasn't the chicken casserole but the one on the menu that looked similar on a platter, Was so good . . Great value as well.

Hands down one of the best restaurants we've experienced in all of Istanbul. The food, the service,…read morethe atmosphere--everything was exceptional.

We came here as a part of a group tour of about 30 people and separately as a single family. Both times, the speed of service was disappointing. The food itself is pretty good. We had several vegetarian and non-vegetarian curries, naan, rice, samosas, aloo Chaat and chai. Even the Turkish coffee was pretty decent. The price is reasonable I think. We would just like faster service. Definitely check out the view from the fourth floor if you're not able to get seated there.

We had a reservation and I showed up wearing my tourist clothes (Jeans and at-shirt) and felt like i was under-dressed, I wish I had wore something a little nicer, but no one batted an eye . My friend did all the ordering and we ended up with an assortment of little plates of seafood that were delightful. The highlights for me were the octopus,the sea-bass and the anchovies. The staff was always attentive refilling our drinks and making sure we had everything we needed at all times. Totally recommended for a nice formal dinner in town!

Seating upstairs was really hot in mid-September until they closed the windows and turned on the AC. I thought it was great for lunch, as my durum chicken and Ayran only cost 5 TL, which was less than $3. But the two guys in my group said they probably could have done with a bit more food. I wasn't sure what "Porssion Sanitized" (Porsiyon Kokoreç) was... so was thinking of being adventurous and ordering a new dish. But then we found out that it's lamb intestines, so I stayed with the chicken. ;)
