Hong Kong - Los Barrios

We arrived to find we were only the second table of guests in a restaurant that seated approx 200 people. The TV was blasting out Sponge Bob. The other family finished and left. The staff were not friendly. They made out they did not understand english or us speaking Spanish. The air conditioning was right over our table and cooled the food.We asked for the air con to be turned down, the waitress adjusted it and shrugged her shoulders! Staff throughout just ignored us. They continually sorted cutlery, noisily and stacked plates, vast amounts of plates. If this restaurant was ever full i would be surprised as it is so huge. The TV stayed at the same loud volume we could not hear over it. We helped ourselves to food which was mediocre but not great and we did wonder how long it had sat there, due to the lack of customers. We had eaten a few days before at this chain of restaurants in Barcelona and it was exceptional which is why we tried this one. What a let down, we did wonder why we stayed. Finally we finished and the waitress then asked if we wanted the bill,and spoke to us in English. The only time staff smiled was as we paid and left. We really wished we had not spent the money. The cost was 11.50€ each but then IVA and drinks was added. All in all we felt cheated. We certainly would not go here again.

Food was alright. Buffet style, but had to pay for every drink you get. The selection is much and watch out for what you might think is cream cheese wanton is actually shrimp in a lumpia/eggroll wrapper!

My husband and I were shopping in the Los Barrios commercial park. We probably took a wrong turn, and ended up in the road behind Lidl, where we found the most amazing eat as much as you like Chinese buffet. There are sushi starters, plus all the usual spring rolls, spare ribs etc. with all the accompanying veg, rice or noodles. You could fill up just on the choice of starters. Then you select your meat or fish for the main course, together with vegetables and take it to the chef behind the counter and pick your favourite sauce (sweet and sour, curry, etc. and they cook it in front of you. There are various fruits, cream caramel or ice cream for dessert. We had lovely Jasmine tea, and they do serve wine and beer, etc. (drinks are additional to buffet price . All this for €9.50 per person at lunchtime and €11.50 in the evening. A great place to go if you have shopped 'till you dropped, or if you are heading for the Algeciras ferry terminal.
