JRC Global Buffet in Cardiff

This place felt more like a canteen, the tables are close together and I encountered some rude staff too. The food was ok but not great. The desserts were not too bad but there is a lot of mousses, jellies and little tubs of cheap ice cream.

Food was lovely. Lots to choose from and friendly staff.I went for my mothers birthday so asked if they could bring a cake out ‘that I brought with me’ at the end of our meal for my mother.As you’d expect when asking “could you bring the cake out now”.I expected them to light the cake with the candles I provided and bring it out so we could all sing happy birthday.The woman replied “yes okay” and went to go get the cake.I sat back down at my table waiting for the cake, with my phone ready to record.She brought the cake out in its box and candles still in its packet and walked away.It wasn’t just a surprise for my mother but for us all.

We had a delicious food and spent good time with friends. Thank you for all.

Dirty. Unhygienic. Glasses were stinking. Tables and floor grubby. Literally every item of food was tepid. The meat in the lamb curry was largely grisly or still on the bone. Prawn in batter stone cold. Chicken tikka starter chewy and at least a day old. Even my daughter saw a member of staff go to toilet and not wash her hands. If you're a pig that likes eating off cold food in a trough don't hesitate and book today. Also when I complained management suggested I eat food from base of trays that is likely to be 'hotter'. Avoid this place like the plague unless you wanna catch the plague

If I could give 0 stars I would, this place was horrific for our first time visit.The cutlery and drinking glasses were dirty,We got our tables swapped 3 times!! Due to them seating new people in our seats while we were up serving our plates!!!!The only drink options were water, juice or squash due to no fizzy drink machines working. But the water machine was empty.The staff were rude and were continuously taking our plates and cutlery- even when we were not finished!!!!The shrimp were not cleaned but coated!!! Absolutely disgusting.The toilets and tables were so dirty and to top it offThe price is horrid for these circumstances.£22 per head.Me and my partner are both feeling sick to our stomachs!!

Very nice selection of hot foods, sushi and desserts from around the world

huge variety of food! definitely worth the price. and the service was very good. just wish more people would wear masks (including staff).

Updating my review from 3 stars to 4, upon another visit... Well organised and good service. Food had a lot more variety, was hot and the place was really clean with consistent cleaning and clearing. Taste seems to have improved.Previous review from about 2 years ago: Food didn't taste that amazing, especially for the price. The usual options but the dessert was not great tasting nor well presented.

Worst restaurant i have ever visited in my life, staff were friendly and i have nothing bad to say about the place, but the food was absolutely horrid. Theres was barely a selection, the indian section was not refreshed the whole time we were there, the same section served the driest, chewiest calamari i have ever had, the rice had dried out to the point i nearly chipped a tooth. The chinese section was alright, the beef was chewy as hell though. The prawns were frozen mush that had been reheated, the tepanyaki station looked appealing but the food was cooked for so long it was dry and rubbery, apart from the lamb chop which was just on the brink of cooked. The desserts looked appealing as you can see in the photo, 3 were ok, the rest tasted like water or nothing. Pizza was meh. Most of the seafood smelt very unappetising. The chicken from the chinese section was the texture of gelatin. All in all the best thing was the free lemonade refills and the hot plates... I feel bad leaving such an awful review for the food as the service was lovely, our table was always clean and the staff were very welcoming, but unfortunately the food was... god awful, i pretty much tried one of everything i would normally be excited to try so to leave that dissatisfied was quite the shock to me.

A welcome return of the best buffet chain around. Covid safe now with attendants to help you pick food, (touch point control!). Price has gone up a little but what can we expect after a year closed.
