First- I was Starving when I ate here. But I was happy with pretty much everything I ate!…read more I have to say though- for an 'international' buffet- it didn't seem that there were that many different types of food. Mostly Mexican, Chinese, and Indian. Not really any Western European food at all. And... the desserts!! This was what I was most disappointed with- they had an ice cream bar (really?), and a couple kinds of pastries (the ice cream was better). So- the food that I ate was good, but I don't think it was truly an 'international' buffet. Plus the waiters were not very helpful.

The only saving grace of this "restaurant" is the food and the servers that ensure fresh food is…read moreavailable at all times. Do NOT come here if you actually want to be served. We received 1 round of drinks when we first sat down. After that the servers disappeared. That's not quite true. They were clearly visible, but their only concern was talking to each other near the staff room doors and they were incredibly skilled at disappearing behind those doors as soon as a customer dared to approach. The tables around mine were littered with empty plates as the servers failed to remove the dirty dishes. The whole point of this restaurant is that you get a clean plate and cutlery every time you go up to the buffet so that you can taste the food you want on this trip and not mix your Lasagne with your aromatic duck I made the mistake of taking my family here for my mums 50th Birthday Meal. Never again. And watch out for the Service Charge. The receipt states it is voluntary but when I asked about it the staff advised they don't add this charge. They refused to give me a receipt until after I paid, and guess what? A £5.61 service charge miraculously appeared.

JRC Global Buffet is basically an Asian fusion style buffet. They have dishes from all over Asia,…read moreincluding your standard Chinese staples, pho, sushi, Indian curries, Thai noodles, etc.. The food itself is fine, nothing "great" or authentic by any means, but it's better than other similar asian food buffet I've tried in the USA. Price seemed very reasonable, especially because this is an all you can eat establishment. The service was great. They kept the dishes all hot and well stocked and clear your old plates very quickly. If you are looking for something a bit different to try when staying in Swindon, I'd definitely recommend JRC Global Buffet. I thought the selection was very nice. They have lots of offers from all over Asia and each "country" has it's own station with various selections. There is also a grill station where you can order various meats to be grilled to your desire. None of the food was spectacular, but it was all pretty good and what I'd expect from a buffet. As a word of caution, they do not offer many dishes outside of the "Asian realm" so if you don't like that kind of food then you'd be better off elsewhere. Aside from various potato dishes, some fried items (chicken, onion rings, friend shrimp), and the grill station, most of the food is Asian. They also have a very nice dessert area with ice cream, sweets, and a chocolate fountain. Service was great for this style of restaraunt. They don't bring anything to your table for you (not even the water which you need to pick up from the bar), but they clear plates quickly.

I have been to Ilaichi many times since it opened, and ok, the dishes tend to stay the same week to…read moreweek, but there is one reason in particular I love this restaurant so much.... It is outstandingly good for anyone with a food allergy/intolerance. My girlfriend, who lives in Florida, is gluten intolerant, and so when she came to stay this summer just gone it was very difficult to find restaurants that had any range of food that she could eat. However, at Ilaichi, every dish is individually labelled on the buffet, whether its dairy/gluten/nut free, and over 80% of the food was in fact gluten free! Even the onion rings, and my girlfriend had said that this was the first time she had been able to eat onion rings in three years. I gave Ilaichi four stars, only because their food stays the same from visit to visit, and some of it is just average in flavour. But most of it tastes pretty good for being out on a buffet for a few hours! Also their range of foods is excellent, covering Indian, Chinese, Italian, Mexican, and with a salad and dessert bar.

Minimalist interior design but airy - not as big as I would have expected. Prompt service and attentive waiters - it wasn't that busy so I didn't really feel pressurised to eat up and get out like at some buffet restaurants. Varied selection of foods ranging from pizza, chips, salads, chicken nuggets to selected Chinese, Mexican and Indian dishes. There was also a dessert buffet with cakes, fruit and ice creams. Even the most fastidious eater (and children) should find something to eat here. As a previous reviewer remarked, allergen information provided for dishes. But, as with everywhere, drinks were a bit pricy. If you're in the vicinity and looking for bulk and no frills, this place will do the job - no problem. I would go again and certainly would consider going with a group of friends. The establishment currently has a food hygiene rating of 5 (very good). See http://bit.ly/TDT475 I'll give it 4 stars: just thought it was a tad bit pricy. No complaints with the food, though.

The buffet is extensive, fresh and the food never runs out. There is a wide variety in starters, main dishes and desserts. As a result the place is absolutely buzzing with people, especially since the price is ridiculously low. Well worth the visit for an excellent lunch out.

The prices are usually cheaper during the weekday than they are on the weekend. I also think it's free for children under three. Don't quote me exactly but my nephew is 2 and we didn't pay for him. There is a wide variety of food items to suit everyones tastes and preferences. They even have specially ready to cook items like squid, scallops, and chicken thigh. Water and drinks are ordered at the bar and you pay for them there also. Honestly, it's a good place to come with family. It caters to large groups which is also an added bonus. The dessert section can be a little sparse and I'm sure they can do better, but it's off to a good start for me. It's pretty affordable for the most part.

Have eaten here several times and the food has been really good, they do all sorts, burgers, sandwichs, sausage and mash, salads, fajitas, etc, all really nice food and price is ok. Good service (ive never seen it rammed in here!) and the place is modern, airy and light, like the decor, although it can feel a bit empty at times, i guess thats just the lack of visitors! If you are over the grafton and going to the cinema, instead of opting for chillis why not try this place, you'll probably get served quicker and the food is of better quality.

There are other offers for families and the like, so best to check the website first if you want to really get the most for your money. This place is certainly not about the quality of food, but the quantity and variety. On offer they have: salads, fish and chips, pizza, pasta, carvery, Indian, BBQ and a range of deserts. I have heard rumours of other food (Thai, namely) being on offer there, but perhaps they don't have all of them all of the time. The best thing is probably the deserts; a variety of cakes and crumbles fresh from the over. And although the custard is made with water (weird!), the chocolate fudge sauce is outstandingly yummy. Go there just for a bowl hot chocolate stuff. Important to go here only when you're very hungry.
