Wok N Spice Buffet Restaurants

Went here last night — for the Sat night buffet £15 pp — and would rather stayed at home and had beans on toast, the food was that bad! The friendly service, good location and whippy machine couldn’t make up for what was no exaggeration just poor quality food (with the exception of the egg fried rice, prawn crackers, nd a bog standard chicken curry which was the only curry on offer). The online menu looked good, but there were many dishes not there last night, and seemingly nowhere for them to fit, so they are either not provided or they rotate stuff around. For example there were no lamb, beef, mixed veg thai/​malaysian curries, just a boring standard chicken curry. No shredded beef in chilli sauce which is one of our faves! Infact flicking back to the menu it might be easier just to say what they did have. They didn’t lie when they said there was going to be duck, they shred up a whole metal pot full and leave it to dry out, not nice. Then you’ve got another pot of hard chewy prawns, maybe that’s the seafood special. They couldn’t even get the batter on the chicken balls right! I might sound over fussy but I happily eat at several takeaways in my local area (Kinson) ad considering I only go out with my husband about twice a year for a meal the last thing I wanted to do was leave hungry and sit in the car munching cookies. It’s a risk you take going somewhere different but I thought I’d write this (never bothered doing reviews before) just to give other people a chance not to go!

This place has an amazing view of Poole Harbour and Brownsea Island.
The selection of buffet food tends to be more chinese than anything esle but it is all very tasty and it’s hard to choose what to have.
In addition to the standard buffet food there is always a good salad selection here and in the evenings there is always crispy duck (my personal favourite).
Make sure you leave some room for pudding, there is always cakes, jelly etc and the Mr Whippy style icecream to cool the palette after all the tasty spices.
Great place to take a group of people — especially if you book in advance to get a seat in the window.

Very clean, good value and excellent choice of food.
