I've been to quite a bit of AYCE buffets in the USA but to me this place blew it out of the water!! The variety, choices, different cultures in here was seriously amazing and beautiful. I felt like a harmonious place could be eaten here with many different types of races and cultures. I took over 20 photos of what the inside and what I picked for myself and also what some of the kids had as their meals. Overall they were soo soo excited and happy that they got to eat here and were able to pick and choose what they wanted! For the price, experience and less headache for the adults this by far was one of the best choices we made during our UK trip!

Being outside the city centre the place has plenty of parking, the décor was very pleasant and the place spotless. This is one of the few places I have visited that the bread rolls are fresh. The hot food is home made and consisted at the time of a choice of five main courses. Pizza, Vegetarian, Chilli Concarne, Chicken Tika (mild) and a Meat Pie. The only pastry on the meat pie was a wafer thin crust on the top, a pleasure to find one like my mother used to cook. There was only one complaint: for some unknown reason they have presalted the chips something that was brought to the attention of the staff. If salt is wanted on the chips I am sure the diners are capable of putting it on themselves. Overall it was acceptable and worthy of a visit.

Oh. My. Word. If…read moreyou're after decadence, this is your huckleberry. If you're after the cool slightly kitsch vibe, akin to Big Trouble In Little China, let's go Lopan hunting. (The weird columns with columns revealed underneath give me that impression.) If you're after a feast fit for warriors, modern ones who traverse the landscape of Leeds, then x marks the spot just here. I've been but the once, but that was enough to leave me yearning for more. The occasion was a friend's birthday. Our initial options had failed us, and this was right there, so we chose to descend. Being about 3pm in the afternoon the place was entirely empty, so it was a little bit of an unusual experience. Even so, every member of staff was fantastic, and treated us beautifully. We ordered the Prosecco, as it was on an afternoon deal (I forget how much), and drank that whilst perusing the extensive menu. Let me start by saying, if you're indecisive, brace yourself. There's hoards to decipher, and adventurous menu by all accounts, and even features frogs legs and birds nest soup. I was not so brave, and tried neither this visit, but as a personal challenge I think I should come back and give them a go. Our initial plan was to order several of the dishes under a fiver, and pick and mix. After listing about three dishes our waiter looked concerned and asked if we were still ordering more... We soon realised that four dishes was more than enough to feed a small army. Forgive me for forgetting every single item, but let me attempt to describe them. We had a peppery fish soup, which was gelatinous and thick, and not really my thing. (Not a seafood fan, but my friend adored it.) We also had the salt and pepper chicken wings, which were plentiful, greasy, and really delicious. If you're watching your weight, avoid - napkins were used every time to clean off the oil from our fingers. We also had a delectable dish of mushrooms, that was incredible, and an unforgettable (I realise the irony of forgetting its name) dish of crispy spicy beef. This was the pièce de résistance - every mouthful was incredible, but eat it quick as it's tastier when it's hot. Defeated, way before we finished, our lovely waiter asked if we'd like to take the remainder home - so never fear if you're one for waste not want not. Sadly, being as we were going for yet another birthday meal that evening, we couldn't take the food with us. On a more bizarre note, since the place was empty whilst we dined, it was curious that the waiting staff stood about 3 feet from our table during the whole meal. It didn't bother me, but I'm sure they could hear all the silly conversation we were having! Regardless, I imagine when full, this situation doesn't happen. (And as I mentioned before, they were all really lovely.) In any case, once again I've written more than you could probably digest, mirroring my ordering style, so I'll leave it there. Essentially, this is a fantastic restaurant, with incredible menus, lovely staff, great lunch deals and really quirky cool décor. It's a new favourite, and I want to come back! Lunch, anyone?

Fuji Hiro…read morehasn't been on my radar at all over the past few years, and suggestions to eat here elicited all my skeptical and let's go somewhere else reactions. I wasn't even sure where it was, and when I realised we were heading towards the Merrion Centre I was less inclined to jump aboard the Japanese food train. If looks were everything this place wouldn't be too busy. It looks kinda dingy from the outside, and whilst the inside has a certain charm about it, it's not the Ritz but doesn't profess itself to be so. Think of it as a Japanese eatery version of the local cafe. I was looking over the menu, contemplating what to order, and being particularly hungry, did my unusual thing of looking at starters. My friend just shook her all knowing head at me and pointed straight to the mains. Huh? Well what was cloudy became clear within about ten minutes, as my hearty noodle dish came, steaming and smelling divine, and flippin huge. Seriously, I was pleasantly surprised at this. Considering how quick our orders came, I was more than pleased to take in the taste and how fresh everything was. It didnt have that 'been stewing all day in a pot waiting to be warmed up and served' taste, nor did it have quick food microwaved crunchy in some places and soggy in parts texture either. Being a dork with coordination, but feeling self conscious at the people opting for the chop sticks, I was relieved when a fork was provided for me. There's a good hustle bustle vibe about Fuji Hiro's and whilst the staff are not rude, far from it, there's an efficient business like approach to providing awesome food to their hungry clients, even the ones who are yet to walk through the door. Easy on the budget, good in the belly.

Lawd have mercy! For a place that started off with so much potential, who knew it could all go so…read morehorribly wrong. Fusia was a nice addition to the Centenary Square area of Bradford, and prices were reasonable, food was good, value and service was exceptional. In the past three or so years, I'm afraid it's all gone down hill from there. What started out as an all you can eat buffet, with lean and tasty Chinese cuisine, three distinct courses; starters, mains and desserts, refill drinks, good customer service and smiles and pleasantries and all that has now ended up as an inflated prices buffet with time limit (who the frig puts a time limit on food) of about 90 minutes or an hour depending on your day and time of day, no refills, and quite frankly sub par food. Ok so the details, the establishment itself is rather nice, clean pale wood and cream leather stools, set together in formations of long tables or tables for two, you don't ever really feel out of place in here eating by yourself if you're grabbing a quick power lunch and you're on a time limit. And on the other hand, the long benches make good for larger groups. Nice clean lines, gives a nice light bright atmosphere to the place, especially with the large glass window that fills the restaurant with light on nice days. Back in the day you ordered a soft drink and you paid more for it, but you could refill it, grand idea, not any more, the food was always piping hot and fresh, and trays were regularly turned out, lately, if it's running low and looking a bit oldish, you have to ask for them to refill the trays up, won tons and spring rolls and such all seem to leave a healthy residue of grease on the plate, which as my dear friend discovered, is whisked out from under your snout before you've had chance to place the fork down. My veggie mates never used to have much trouble finding something to snaffle, but the last ditch attempt we had left her eating broccoli and vegetarian starters. Dessert used to save this, but the ice cream machine complete with plethora of syrups and bits and bobs has now been replaced by really crap ice-cream in boxes, all piled up on top of each other, open, stuck in a freezer with residual previous scoop marks from other flavours. Nice(!) Other dessert items include Jammy Dodgers, mini Swiss rolls cut in half, jaffa cakes, all kinda stale if I'm honest, and the saving grace, fresh fruit. And the wholesome family relaxed vibe got shot out of the water, when I actually witnessed two members of staff rushing a family out who had been there 60 minutes as their time was up, they actually looked more surprised than peeved, they were relaxing over food, and enjoying conversation, the place wasn't packed, in fact it was on the empty side which made it even more astounding, and they were bringing back plates for their children, of which were paying customers too, so it took longer to get everyone ready to eat than say a couple. Eventually the anger set in as they left without finishing their plates and loudly vowed never to return. For a place that three years ago was buzzing with people, lately it's empty, a couple of people fill tables as opposed to the usual busy atmosphere. Shame, as it really was lovely when it opened, now it's pants.

After a long…read moreday at a conference I was yearning for something other than steak or chicken, I wanted oriental food! We walked up to the place, without reservations, and were seated in a lovely spot. The restaurant is instead one of the old Baths which litter the Harrogate landscape - as Harrogate is a spa town, doing brisk business during the Victorian & Edwardian era. The interior decor was an amalgam of chinese/oriental and pre-edwardian. I was so delighted to see dim sum items on the menu. I have so longed for some steamed sticky pork buns and these were among the best I've ever had. The waiters bring out a little hotplate to the table and place your food there, so you can serve yourself. The food is kept at an optimal temperature while you share your food with your dining companion. I felt like I was back at Jade Dynasty in Toronto - one of the many places where you don't see a white-face amongst all the chinese patrons. The food was so delicious, the seasoning perfect, and there was just enough to get me full without feeling like I was overly stuffed. This is not a cheap place to eat, nor is it overly expensive either. If you're looking for a good place to eat for either a special occassion or romantic date, this place is perfect. It has booths, tables and a huge central round table - a la King Arthur's Round Table.
