  “Excellent buffet with a huge variety of fresh food from different cuisines. The live teppanyaki grill was the highlight of the meal, with freshly cooked meat and seafood prepared right in front of us. The restaurant was clean, the staff were friendly and efficient, and empty plates were cleared quickly. The dessert selection was also excellent, especially the chocolate fountain. Great value for money and a perfect place for families or groups. I will definitely be coming back. Highly recommended”

  “Don’t waste your money or your time. If you’ve been to any of the other branches, I’d strongly recommend going there instead. This is by far the worst one, despite being the newest. The food selection was very limited, and many of the dishes were cold and unappetising. The prawns were honestly the only thing we enjoyed. We barely ate anything, and we’re both huge foodies, so that says a lot. The overall quality of the food was really disappointing. The service was just as poor. At one point, I saw a chef standing in front of the food watching YouTube on his phone instead of attending to the buffet. Even though the restaurant was quiet and there were plenty of staff, it took a long time for our used plates to be cleared. The fruit section was never restocked either, so there was hardly anything available for the entire visit. Overall, this was the worst £52 I’ve ever spent. The experience was incredibly disappointing from start to finish, and I genuinely wish I could get a refund.”

  “I recently visited JRC Global Buffet in Wood Green for a birthday dinner, and it was a really enjoyable experience. There was a wide selection of cuisines all under one roof. The atmosphere was great and ideal for celebrating, especially with a group. Staff were friendly and attentive, making sure plates were cleared quickly and everything stayed tidy. Delicious dessert and fresh fruit. Overall, good value for money. I'd definitely come back for another occasion.”

  “It’s decent value for money. Good range of cuisines and decently good, nothing spectacular but it’s not a rip off. Teppanyaki was great, sushi was good enough. Roast beef was super tender. I enjoyed a fair amount of the food there. They’re a bit lacking on the pad Thai and dim sum though. The one complaint is the toilets, they were absolutely blown up and dirty beyond belief. I’m lucky to have found one stall where there wasn’t any poop or vomit in the toilet bowl.”

  “The cake was nice – one particular one stood out – but unfortunately everything else was quite disappointing. The sauces tasted watered down, many of the dishes were very oily, and some of the meat was chewy. However, the vegetables like the broccoli and mushrooms were really nice. The toilets were absolutely disgusting 🫣. They clearly weren’t cleaned at all during opening hours, which is really unacceptable and something that definitely needs attention. I’ve been to other JRC Global Buffet locations before and I’m sure they are better when it comes to food quality and cleanliness, including their facilities. One positive was the staff: they were very attentive when clearing tables and promptly removed unwanted plates, which was appreciated. Overall, it was an “okay” visit, but it will be my last time going to any JRC Global Buffet. They charge the same price as before, yet the food quality and standards are clearly slipping.”

  “The atmosphere was cool. The staff were incredibly helpful and nice. The place was so clean but the food was not good at all. When you add the food to your plate, it gets cold very quickly. Most of the dishes are very sweet which was interesting. The only bit which wasn't bad was their desert area. I wouldn't call this a global buffet, it was Chinese food with Indian sauces. Also the price was too high, especially if that's the food that is available.”

  “I visited this place today with a friend, and honestly, it was a big letdown. Most of the dishes were overly sweet — even the chicken gravy and soup tasted like dessert. The chicken wings were undercooked, rice dishes were dry, and the plates weren’t properly cleaned. Nothing really tasted good, and the desserts were disappointing too. The only positive was the service — the staff were attentive and cleared plates regularly — but even then, they didn’t seem to notice that the plates weren’t clean. Sadly, it felt like a waste of £25 each. Wouldn’t recommend this place at all.”

  “Fantastic dining experience at JRC Global Buffet! The variety of food was incredible from sushi and Asian dishes to authentic Indian curries, Mediterranean grills, and delicious desserts. Everything was well-prepared, hot, and constantly replenished. Whenever I got to buffet I always get the same thing, Chinese food. The vermicelli noodles here were amazing as well as the sweet and sour chicken and sweet chilli crispy shredded beef. I managed to go through 2 big plates and 1 small bowl. It was amazing, I even think back to it and wish I ate more. The desserts were actually nice, my favourite was the chocolate cake it was better than their other branch (I can’t remember where it was) that I went to. However I recommend they cover the food because as I was leaving the place I saw a fly land on one of the foods. The staff were welcoming, attentive, and quick to clear plates, which made the whole experience even more enjoyable. Great atmosphere too, perfect for family meals or celebrations. Excellent value for money and I’ll definitely be coming back. I didn’t get much pictures because I was too busy eating but I loved the aesthetics especially the purple light as you walked in. I really wish I got my picture of inside the restaurant. It was very spacious. I definitely recommend.”

  “We arrived around 6:30 PM on a Friday and were surprised to find the restaurant not full. Having experienced better buffets, I was disappointed by the food quality—the meats were tough and overly salty, the salt and pepper prawns were similarly tough and over-seasoned with salt, and the fried rice was undercooked. Many of the sauced dishes relied too heavily on salt, and the dessert station was underwhelming. At £20 per person—without drinks included—the experience fell short of expectations. While they do offer a variety of Asian-inspired dishes, they need to realize that salt and pepper aren’t the only seasonings available. As for those who thoroughly enjoyed it… bless them, but I know better. I won’t be returning although the service was good.”

  “The person who took our payment at the door was very kind. The white plates to grab to start self serving was mostly dirty, you can tell it has been washed but there was still food residue on most the plates I had to wipe mine down with a tissue. I mainly enjoyed the chicken skewer which was nicely portioned. Now for the grilled meat station, whenever I went to where the chefs grill the beef/lamb fresh I was told it will take more time cooking so I gave up getting it. The East Asian dishes were not great at all, the sweet and sour chicken was too vinegary, the rest of the dishes in that section was hard to enjoy to the point I could not continue eating them. Luckily I only picked up very tiny amounts on my plate to taste them first. Glad I wasn’t deceived by the looks of those dishes because they did look great. I did enjoy some of the Indian dishes and was glad there were chicken dishes available. In the dessert area you’ll find bowls of sweets, small ice cream tubs you can pick up from the freezer and on display small little square cut pieces of either cakes or cheesecakes. I appreciated that they labelled which were halal and which were not. Overall to have paid £26 for a vast range of food but with the quality of nearly all the dishes lacking I was left rather disappointed. I’m glad to have tried JRC and I did leave full however I am unsure I’d happily pay £26 for these same dishes again. Thank you.”
