Best Buffet in Dublin?

    Lad's I figured this was the place to ask this important question. I'm going out for dinner on Friday for my birthday and I really fancy a decent all you can eat buffet. Especially after hearing all about Jimmy Chungs on Eden Quay as it was where Bernard Dunne had his pre-fight press conference.

    So is that the best place or should I be looking elsewhere? All cuisines welcome.

    Nothing even comes close to the Full House on Middle Abbey Street. Just below the Academy. Under a tenner for absolutely all you can eat and the food is excellent quality, even the seafood. Menu changes a good bit, but there's always the likes of black bean, sweet and sour and other standards.

    (and believe me, after gorging on malaysian prawns and szechuan mussels 6 months ago on a 2hr+ session, you simply can't get food poisoning in there :D)

    Jimmy Chungs is a great spot,absolutely masses of differnet dishes,all replaced regularly so everything is fresh and delicious.
    Was actually only there last sunday on a date and i really cant fault the place,the staff are great and they have a HUGELY well-stocked bar.
    Lots of room too so you always get a table.

    the fact that you can pull your own ice cream (like an ice cream van) is reason enough to go to jimmy chungs.
    im not a fan of chinese but acting out my childhood dreams made me go there
    /now to find a good indian all you can eat

    Most have very poor quality food.

    Chung's is the only decent one around Dublin that I have been in.

    Have always planned on trying this place, never got around to, might try it next Friday, thanks for reminding me. I don't think I have ever gone to a great buffet in Dublin, think over all they are fairly poor. Jimmy Chungs is ok, staff are very nice and helpful, but when it comes to Chinese food I am fairly picky as I have had so many good chinese meals over the years from the wife and have been to good buffets outside of Dublin and Ireland.

    Was in the one in Edinburgh, pure muck, don't know if Dublin is the same but I wouldn't recommend it.
