  • Today, I'm back with another buffet review as it's been highly requested by a few of you and today I'm in Tonbridge. I originally planned to do a video in London at a £9 buffet but they wouldn't let us film so I decided to choose the Oriental Buffet Club. A mix of Chinese, Thai and Indian food so let's give it a go!

    A friend just told me they wanted £8.50 for a cheese and ham sandwich at his local bakery 😡
    So that meal represents a great bargain 👍🏽

    Was quite looking forward to a sneaky bit of Thai food there at the end but you went for the ever-dependable Indian grub instead, I see. I'm glad you have the philosophy of not wanting to waste food and as people can go up as many times as they want to refill their plates, there's no need to pile it high in one go. Most of your Chinese meal looked very palatable and you got your heat fix with the Singapore Noodles and the beef. Nice one. Can't wait to see Sunday's vid!

    Totally agree 8/10. I have always considered my personal ‘buffet’ etiquette to be the best way, and that is rather have decent portions than overloading a plate. After all, at a buffet you go back as many times as you like. Thanks for another great review Gary, as always I enjoyed giving it a go! 😆👍🏻

    The chicken curry looked as if it was due for replacement. The starters looked excellent. and the beef looked nice. Have never been to a Chinese buffet, but have had a few banguets whcih I always enjoyed. The best Chinese mean i ever had was in Machester at one of the top ones in the country. We asked them to put together a mixed meal for a set price and sat back and had a wonderful assortment of dishes. But no steamed dumplings.

    Its hard to keep up the quality without increasing costs but all of that looked great.
    Judging by the size of the place, when that fills up, it must be a challenge to keep things moving.

I thought also that the chicken curry looked a little thin but everything else looked superb to me, the price is really good considering you can return again and again to the hot plate.

    I think 8/10 is fair. I was predicting a 7.5/10. As always, a buffet restaurant is there to allow you to sample so many different flavours and not necessarily to stuff yourself however I guess it does go hand in hand. Thanks for the video

    All looks appealing. I am not a fan of Chinese food to be honest and Thai food tastes like Chinese food cooked in Airwick air freshener to me. I will have to take Gary's word on all of this!! If he says it's good then it's good.
    One of my main objections to Chinese is the very high cost. This looks much more reasonable.
    Those spare ribs are proper 1980s glow in the dark food colouring!
    I liked the look of the Singapore noodles. The beef in black bean sauce looked good.
    The Indian food looked good. I love a Bombay potato.
    Great review Gary as always.

    Nice vid. And would I go there... like a shot. I've been to a bunch of these over the years. Several where there's Chinese & Thai, but never one with Indian too, interesting. After all, variety is the spice of life eh. And you're right, generally these places don't offer the absolute best you've ever had, but some get pretty close. You'll usually get a crackin' meal and such great value, they can be hard to beat. And re the curry sauce, chef just needs to throw in a tad more cornflour to thicken it up, that'd do the trick :)

    my only peeve, was no dessert!! i used to go to a chinese buffet on my doorstep before the pandemic. And the deal was 9.95 euros this included as much food as you wanted inc dessert. Drinkswise, if you wanted an alcoholic drink it was extra, but coca cola, fanta, and sprite were unlimited and included. plus special meals you ordered at your table, also included.

Shame about the Chinese curry though, as it is a pretty fashionable dish at the moment, going by the frequency that you find it among supermarket ready meals these days. Also, among all of the made-up dishes that you tried, it is, actually, the easiest to make really well from scratch. Am looking forward to your Sunday instalment!

    the place that would not let you film, must have some thing to hide why are they afraid to show the place off. as to be some thing wrong.
    but the place we went the food looks really nice. when you picked the items you could have just said what they were for people not up on all the options. you did it when you came to the main.
    this type of thing is very good to try out new foods not had. with out getting a full portion and then finding out you do not like it. and wasting what you paid for it.
    i have had the supermarket version of some of them like the chicken in black bean sauce
    when you look at what you paid and what you pay for one small plate of food how can you not see it as being better value.
    the curry could do with some corn flour in it to thicken it up.
    i agree put a little on the plate since you can go back. i have seen people in toby pile high plate, eat half and leave the rest. sooooo bad.
    I would only come for the £13 price.

    I love Singapore noodles. There's a restaurant in Wardour Street called Wong Kei which I used to frequent many decades ago. Very cheap, yet plenty of food and delicious as well. Back then the staff were famous for their rudeness to customers, as you came in the door they would yell "what do you want, what do you want?" Singapore noodles were my favourite, they had a beef dish with rice which I liked as well. Still catching up on your past videos, Gary. All the best Tania and Chirpy!

      As long as the mussels are open,there is nothing to worry about,I have worked in a seafood restaurant for over 20 years,and freshness wise mussels,and even clams in dishes where they open by themselves,are safe,has nothing to do with the quality of the restaurant.

From 2010 to March 2020 I used to travel to Dubai from the UK 6-8 times a year for a week or so of work. I used to stay in the same hotel and at the top was Toshi. A great fusion of flavours - did not bother going elsewhere (it was work after all). Quite similar to your restaurant reviewed today. / Looking at that spread and number of dishes, and the price you paid, makes me wonder how they make a profit (no idea on restaurant commercial data). / You have the best reviewing style I have ever seen on TH-cam, pleasure to follow you.
