There were four of us eating out after work ... Our first choice zizzi was fully booked at 6.30pm so one colleague said to try U buffet. It was only round the back of Leopold square so we went.
The buffet has the standard dishes from spare ribs, spring rolls, sea weed (you know it's not really sea weed right?) to Peking duck. I only had a few things which were fine, nothing special. I then picked some veg, beef and noodles and they stir fried it for me with a choice of sauce. I didn't have any other mains.
I went for dessert, where I tried the strawberry mousse, mango pudding and jelly! My colleague from turkey had to photo my dessert as he thought it was funny that it moved .. I guess he meant it wobbles!!
One colleague had the ice cream so another guy got one too.. But as he ate it, he pulled a face and went to pull something out of his mouth.. It was a very long hair!!! I mean long hair!! A staff member saw what happen and came over to see, and the boss came over. They apologised and said it was not made by them and couldn't have been in it when they opened the tub, and that it must been a previous customers hair. This must been true as it was a long greyish hair. They took the bowl away. They had offered to bring a fresh ice cream but it never arrived.
Our Turkish colleague went over and he told the staff to give our friend a fresh ice cream ... As he said in his country they would be angry if that happened!
The staff were nice, food was okay but it looks so much like a canteen rather than a nice restaurant to take friends and family.
We had a laugh chatting together so it made up for the lack of ambience. read more
