What a fantastic place for food all those different cuisines in one place, got taken here for a treat by my daughter & son in-law before the Rugby on Saturday wales v all blacks.The food very impressive, such a lot to choose from,I’m having to go back to try the food I didn’t get to try .absolutely delicious hot & tasty .the restaurant lovely & clean, staff very helpful & attentive, well worth a visit especially if you have young children, No reading of menus just walk them round & let them choose. They also have pizzas , chips, jelly oh yeah a massive selection of puddings. Please give it a try . Christmas is coming an ideal place for all the familySee my pictures yum

I would personally not call this a “global” buffet. You pay before you go around the corner and no wonder they do this as around the corner is barely a “buffet” !! It has Indian, Chinese, Fish, Salad and Pizza. That’s it. The food was OK. The curry dishes were like soup/water absolutely gross. Garlic bread was dry as anything. I understand it’s a buffet and food is left out however you’d still expect it to be half decent.The ribs were SUPER tough to get off the bone. The Profiteroles were soggy, didn’t even eat them after one small bite. Not sure what was in the onion rings but looked more like fish than onion… The drink refill machine also did not work so paid for “refill” drinks that’s we could not even have. (I asked for a refund and they did refund us for our drinks) Would not recommend, there are far better places to have a meal for £22. I compare this to Za Za Bazaar in Bristol which is 10000% better in my opinion.

I love JRC!!! Though the food quality and selection could be better but it’s defo a deal with the price being around £24.00 for all you can eat and soft drinks per person. The Chinese food section is amazing, love their sweet and sour chicken, noodles, dumplings and bao buns. Also the sushi is on point!!! They have Indian and some Mediterranean food as well. You get an hour and 40 mins to eat. I’d suggest going on a weekday for a calmer experience, with no hurry. They also have a good selection of fruits and desserts.

Booked as a Christmas party of 13 for Christmas lunch meeting at 12.30.Lined up like cattle in the doorway , 1 person on the till, made to pay before being seated.Tables dirty not laid- staff joining tables in front of us. No explanation of how to get drinks etc etc. No cutlery, napkins or glasses, had to ask for everand show evidence of payment.No tea or coffees available , food all fast food in batter , didn’t look clean, free for all scrum down. Staff v rude. 1 member of party didn’t want to eat and just have a drink - told had to leave if not eating!!!! Disgusting!!!Will never return or recommend.

Have been here a few times, as perfect for birthdays as its free meal for them, little offer of getting free all you can eat food for your birthday is lovely. Loves the food always fresh and warm, usually going in the evening/night. The chef section is my favourite being able to chose fresh meats/seafood options to be cooked right in front of you. Only let down is the desserts ! Most of the time they aren't fully stocked so not many options but fresh fruit and ice cream is always available.

Had been to this place on my mates birthday and we were fairly satisfied with the overall experience. Had a variety of choices for non-vegetarians and would definitely suggest to try king prawns and noodles.Recommended to visit on the weekdays as it was very busy on the weekend.

Have been to quite a few JRC in different locations. And this is the worst of the lot. Overpriced, rude staff with empty buffet bars.So, I wound not say 8pm was late for a a Friday night dinner but clearly the staff don't agree. Upon entering and spending our £24/head we are told buffet closes 10.15, teriyaki at 10pm. So, well over 2 hours to eat.When I say eat, I mean survey what was left by the masses if starving crowds before - I guess. As they must have eaten everything, as most buffet cold, dry or just empty. What scrapings there were, did not taste to bad.Only the ice cream and fruit had some semblance of choice.Others will know, but I will not be going back. Perhaps you need to be there when they take out the food for you too eat. But on this occasion they forgot about the customers. Maybe because the lights where so dim, they could not see us.Perhaps if they said , you eat what is left and it is half-price it might just be worth it. No... Save your money and go elsewhere. It is just not worth it.

I really enjoyed the place and it was buffet and as it was my wife’s birthday they gave my wife a free meal. We really enjoyed the whole dinner. It costs us 29.60 GBP for the entire buffet including drinks.Most we loved the seafood items, Crabs were really good. And I loved the live squid. There was not that much option for salad. Sushi was good but I was missing the maki rolls. In a whole I would it is a worth visit in the nice cardiff bay area

I don't go to all-you-can-eats very often but this is definitely one of the better ones. The food is fresh, tasty and the variety is really good. There is a mix of Asian, Indian, Italian and Thai to name a few that I can remember. There is also no skimping on what other all-you-can-eats would usually shy away from as it costs more. You can eat scallops, crab and prawns. At one point they put out a whole fish! I'd definitely be back here again as I really felt I got good value for money.
