<hr /> The soups are indeed gorgeous, but on my luncthime visit the food was decidedly lucklustre. The basic problem was that it all tasted the same, and that was primarily MSG coloured pink. The service was good and the drinks not too overpriced, but the lack of any decent flavour would stop me going again. |

Eat As Much As You Like is a Chinese buffet restaurant. Cost is £10.50 in the evenings. They charge less at lunchtime.
Food is good, but not fantastic. The range is reasonable, however they tend to concentrate on battered / fried stuff with only a couple of sauce-oriented dishes. Still, the hot and sour soup is among the best I've ever tasted, and there's as much crispy aromatic duck as you want (not at lunch), complete with vegetables, pancakes and sauce. The other food highlight was the five-spice bread, made with a thick dough. There are a number of sweet items for when you finish with your meal, including lots of fruit salad.
The food can get a bit dry since it's left in hot trays for long periods of time, but I suspect that there's nothing that can be done about that; it might be better at busier times. Speaking of which, there is plenty of seating, but I suspect that when it's busy you may have to queue to get to the food.
Most drinks are on the expensive side, but you can get a pint of Boddingtons or lager for £2.60. The Boddingtons was a bit watery, but I suspect that's just what Boddingtons tastes like anyway.
On the whole, EAMAYL is well worth a visit if you want good value, good quality food.
