A man can only eat so many tapas, so one night we decided to try some Asian food on our trip to…read moreSitges. This place came highly recommended by some friends, though maybe their expectations were lower or mine were just to high.
Shao Lin is an all you can eat (no buffet) restaurant where you can order unlimited sushi and stir fried dishes from a pretty large menu. You can also order a la carte if you're not that hungry. Prices are 15€-20€ for AYCE or 2€-5€ for a la carte. All items are ordered from a menu by marking up the quantities you'd like on a checklist provided by the restaurant. Just hand that over to your server and wait for your food to arrive.
With excruciatingly slow service and restrained portions, don't expect this to be anything like a place say in Las Vegas. Drinks came out pretty fast but the rest was an exercise in patience. Many times servers would bring us plates that didn't belong to us, or asking a server for something resulted in a finger being lifted as to say just a minute.
The food quality was good and cooked well, such as the stir fried noodles. All had decent flavor with a slight char. Sushi was pretty lame, stick to the sashimi (really fresh), and the tartare should be avoided. Ordering the tuna tartare resulted in a puck of gray goo that should be avoided at all costs. A standout was the almond crusted chicken. Super tender and flavorful though good luck trying to get a side of steamed rice to go with it.
I'd say 3 1/2 Stars, marked up to 4. Yes, I would go back, but I'd stick to sashimi, noodles and a side of patience.
