    It's not bad - quite nice - all chinese restaurants are very homogenous nowadays and Bray doesn't particularly need another Chinese Takeaway with plastic seats. Mortal Kombat - what has that got to do with anything? It doesn't make the food amazing

    It was so much easier to blame it on Them. It was bleakly depressing to think that They were Us. If it was Them, then nothing was anyone's fault. If it was us, what did that make Me? After all, I'm one of Us. I must be. I've certainly never thought of myself as one of Them. No one ever thinks of themselves as one of Them. We're always one of Us. It's Them that do the bad things.

    Yea its €8.80 until 5pm and then €10.80 after. Theres a kids price as well but the policy on what they define as kids is sorta shaky, they have to be under 1M 20cm apparently think the price is around 6 dollar

    Closure orders for food businesses
    Enforcement orders were served on five businesses last month for breaches of food safety legislation. The Food Safety Authority of Ireland (FSAI) said these included four closure orders served on Nour Foods butcher, 11 Abbey Street, Ballyhaunis, Co Mayo; QW Legend Ltd, trading as Buffet Master, 113 Main Street, Bray, Co Wicklow; Ned’s Fast Food Takeaway, Rosenallis, Co Laois; and Zam Zam 1 butcher, Unit 4, Cookstown Enterprise Park, Dublin 24.

    It was still open today but its only a matter of time. They should re-open tho that orchard something chinese in Greystones got served with the same thing a few months back and they are open again. PLus with the amount of money they spent gettin the place ready I dont think there gonna let it die.

    an enforcement order is not a closure order, bad reporting there as it's very unclear

    I'm not surprised ... Chinese food (or any food for that matter) kept warm for hours on end on a buffet isn't my idea of food heaven :)

    Surprise surprise this place is closed. It will now be Tony's Asian Buffet. The building has been gutted so I hope "Tony" gets the lay out right. I wonder is this the same Tony that has the Asian supermarket down Albert Walk?

    If only they'd serve authentic dishes...Id eat out a lot more.Currently when I get a takeaway I still get my old classic 4-in-1.

    Even when I hit up' M and L Szechuan cuisine' just off OConnell st. in town I cant get real Szechuan food. Only if my wife is with me to speak Chinese.

    The amount of times I have asked restaurants for a 'real' menu....you know....'the Chinese one'? and the staff look at me like im a fool and say "this IS the only menu sir"......so I just stick to the 4 in 1 and get the real stuff at home.

    Best Chinese in Bray for a Chinese menu is China Kitchen.They have the Chinese Menu printed at the counter(with subtitles too!) The pigs intestine is quite nice as is the duck and aubergine.

    I dare to argue with you sir, I believe Benny's restaurant (beside Superquinn) have a very authentic Chinese cuisine. Possibly the best outside of China itself.

    Right you are-went there for a Chinese Wedding and the food was savage. plates of lobster and tiger prawns and pork belly and ...u get the picture.

    though since it changed owner to 'bENNYS' an Irish family I know got a couple bad meals in a row and shun it now.they used to swear by Andrews though.

    99% of Chinese rest. are serving Cantonese style cuisine which is sweet and gloopy sauces. The kung po sauce is basically a gloopy sweet and sour as is the bbq sauce as is the plum or orange sauce.its like the same sauce base with a very slight twist.thats what makes me feel bloated and puts me off takeaways in this country I guess.

    I cant complain, I eat 4-in-1 haha.

    Thats the one I have settled with, but you have to get them on a good day. My favourite is hot and sour soup and its rarely the same, some days superb other days tasteless.

    I find hot and sour soup to be real hit and miss sometimes, Lams in Greystones done a nice one and I kinda got into it, then I had some in Ten Thousand Buffet on Abbey St and I felt sick afterwards it was manky.
