Superb Night Out- Real Value for Money!
It was the first time I've tried Mongolian food and I have to say it is wonderful. The staff were very friendly and explained how the buffet worked.
First there was the chinese buffet which offered a wide variety of chinese starters and main courses. All my usual favourites were there and I had the opportunity to try new dishes too. My friend was a vegitarian and there was a hue selection for her to chose from.
After the main course, you can venture over to the mongolian buffet where you customise your meal. You pick from a wide varity of freshly prepared vegetables, meals and sea food. You then pick a sauce (the sauces cater for all taste buds, from plain to very spicy) and you have a choice of fried rice, noodles or vermecelli to accompany your meal. Then your meal is cooked in mongolian kitchen by the chef and served to your table onces it done.(you can stay and watch the meal being cooked if you like).
The price of the All -You-Can-Eat buffet includes both chinese and mongolian buffet. The quality of food is better than any other buffet restaurant and they offer a huge variety aswell. It is a real value for money.

I ate here before Christmas. This restaurant is Mongolian, but it is very similar to Chinese. Go for the banquet. This offers an all-you-can-eat buffet for each course. The appetiser is at first misleading. There is a wide table range with a huge range of dishes. All of my favourite chinese dishes were there, plus because it was a help-yourself buffet, I was able to try many new ones. There was an extensive selection for vegetarians, and plenty of fish and meat-based dishes. Many people make the mistake of filling themselves up at this stage. But, there is more to come. For the main course, you go to another section. You choose whatever you want on a plate - vegetables, meat, fish, meat substitutes, and there is a range of sauces to choose from. It is then cooked for you and brought to your table. Finally, desert; again it is back to the buffet. There was a good selction of fresh fruits, like pineapple, and ice cream. The food is well priced and good value. Watch out for the drinks. Avoid the red house wine unless you really don't mind what you drink. The restaurant is on Newcastle Quayside, about 10 minutes walk from the nearest metro, Monument.
