The Chinese Buffet, Trinity Walk, Wakefield


People have been raving about how good the Chinese Buffet is in Wakefield, how good the food is and how much variety there is; these people, however, are meat eaters. When I visited the Chinese Buffet there were no vegetarian main courses. I had to eat a lot of side dishes such as the noodles and chips (and bizarrely olives) to get my money’s worth, and even then all the dishes I could eat fitted on one small plate. The Hot and Sour soup I had as part of my starter was very nice, however, as were all of the side dishes I had to eat.   For dessert there were a number of options such as freshly made crêpes with a number of different toppings, fruit salad, and a number of pastries, ice cream and a chocolate fountain (only marshmallows- full of gelatine - provided with it). I went to town on the puddings as I was hungry.   

I must say in the buffet’s defence that the staff were very good at their jobs and took the used plates away very quickly and brought drinks quickly. The buffet was not massively crowded when we were there, however, so I can’t comment on how efficient the staff are at peak times.  The buffet is clean and well decorated and has a nice atmosphere. It is very family friendly, too, with more traditional kiddie friendly choices such as chicken nuggets, sausages – the usual stuff.

But due to the lack of food I could eat they will not be getting my custom again. Price-wise – for a vegetarian, very expensive for what I could eat. I paid about £20 for a plate of chips and noodles. Carnivores will love it though, and can undoubtedly get their money’s worth.
