As far as an Oriental buffet goes, it wasn't full of onions to bulk up the food. That, in itself, was a bonus. In general, the food was ok and value for money considering we went on Saturday (rather than Sunday) for lunch. Some of the food was rather spicy and was not specifically highlighted ! The drinks were extremely disappointing. I ordered orange JUICE, but I received orange SQUASH; furthermore, similar to other diners' experience, tap water could only be provided if an alcoholic drink was purchased ! What if a child was diabetic ? What if an adult was also diabetic and alcohol intolerant ! Tut tut ! Highly disappointing ! Style of management could also be improved, i.e. be more welcoming ! Overall, could do better !
Like many buffets, how good Reku Zen is depends on how busy it is. When it's busy there's a fast turnover of food so it's freshly cooked, delicious, a wide selection and good value. When it's quiet the food gets dried up and unpleasant, and last time I was there empty dishes were not replenished so the choice was poor (it was only about 9pm, so it's not as if they were running down ready to close). I would give it 9 stars when busy, only 3 when quiet, but my overall grade is towards the high end because next time I go I'll look at how busy it is first.
