Jimmy Chungs on Eden Quay is fairly popular. I don't personally like it but it seems I'm in the minority

Jimmy Chungs is expensive but the clear winner, food was great.

Avoid Full House like the plague, you get what you would expect for 6 quid .... a tummy ache

I get sushi from 10thousand on Liffey St. sometimes when the place next door is too busy and I noticed they are connected to an all you can eat Chinese with the door on Upper Abbey Street... if their Japanese stuff is anything to go by the food should be pretty good.

The Singapore noodles are really good, the vegetable chow mein is decent, but beyond that I wouldn't rate them too highly. But they're nice people and it's only €7. Worth trying once if you're determined to have an all-you-can-eat Chinese.

Jimmy Chungs is the expensive all you can eat Chinese but it is well worth it, great food.

Jimmy chungs are very good but expensive. Getting very repetetive here.

Buffet 79 on Mary St is decent for 6.50, drinks 1 euro. Has Indian, Chinese, Japanese and Thai on offer with nan bread too. For 6.50 cant go wrong but i would be pissed off with that as a birthday present. Want some funky stuff goin on to make up for that

Wouldn't be ideal as a birthday thing to go to those buffets really. Either one or both of you will be up and down to get food at most times, the quality isn't great and it's fairly rushed. Plus you'll prob overeat, (I always try and get my moneys worth by eating too much) and won't feel the best after it.

If you want chinese, go for a decent chinese restaurant like Good World. It's a more formal, but relaxing experience, with better food cooked to order.
It really doesn't work out much more expensive if you go for an early bird somewhere, particularly if you're going for the buffet at dinner time.
I think dinner in Jimmy Chungs is about €18-20, without drinks.

Jimmy Chungs is just awful, I don't know how people like it. It's overpriced poor quality food. Deffo I would avoid the buffet style for a bday, there are some amazing early birds around town at the moment. I'm afraid I can't recommend any chinese early birds, but have a look around, most places have signs outside now, offering early birds.

Oh believe me he had the best birthday ever!!

I've been to two birthdays in the mongolian bbq place and really enjoyed both.

To sum up:

Its different.
Its all you can eat
People who dont know each other get talking in the queue for the grill(handy if not everyone who is invited knows each other)
food is terrific
They sell beer by the pitcher as well as the glass

I highly recommend it. Price was reasonable too.

I love Hai Linn on Capel Street. You can have a main course for €5.90 or with a starter and drink for €9.90. We both like our food and won't eat somewhere that has poor quality ingredients. The quality of meat is a good indicator of a restaurant and Hai-Linn scores well on that front with us.

I simply can't fathom why folk would pay €6-8 for a McDonalds when they can have a good quality chinese for less than the price of a Big Mac meal.

Do you honestly believe that you're getting top quality ingredients for €5.90 for a main course? You're been served cheap crap and all you see is the price.

I'm not saying it's absolutely top quality but it is significantly better than anything I've come across in other similarly cheap Chinese restaurants....... by a country mile.

The one on Abbey street is surely worth it, 6.18€ per person and all you can eat. If I am correct it's called Full House and is located between the abbey street and Jervis Luas stop.
