Orient Restaurant — Restaurant in Budapest

This place is diabolical. I was staying in a near by hostel and after reading many possitive reviews i thought this "resturant" sounded great. So i convinced my girlfriend we should go here. DO NOT BE FOOLED BY THOSE POSSITIVE REVIEWS!!! When you enter the building itself it is lovely, almost fancy looking. Then you notice the buffet. The concept of the buffet itself is no problem. This is no ordinary buffet however. It is not an all you can eat buffet (again also not strange) , you select three random items from the cold trough. As they take the food you have chosen, they assemble it on a plate. At this stage the food is not looking particularly appetising, having been peeled away from clumps of food that look like theyve been sitting there all day. But then the magic happens. They take your plate and they throw it into microwave for a couple of minutes. And as you step up to the register, you realise you are about to pay for old reheated chinese food. You sit down in shame at one of their humongous tables. Table for two? Never heard of it, lets just throw at sheet over king arthurs round table and stick them there. I would recommend this place to my worst enemies and my mother in law. However anyone with tastebuds, common sense or the will to live a happy healthy life i reccomend giving this...

They also have à la carte options if you want something fresh.

My usual take-out order (rice+pork belly, small order of chicken and broccoli, and a drink) cost approx. 4000ft and was enough for two...

Went there with friend on 18.12.22 to try Beijing duck for the first time. It was awful experience. Sliced and very dry meat was covered with thick layer of soya sauce I guess. Because of it, taste was not pleasant. We couldn't finish it. And vegetable salad also was bad. Besides, temperature inside was low, not felt comfortable during the meal. I assume, they were saving on heating. And for guys, we paid 15K HUF, which is seemingly higher than any Turkish or Arabic restaurants I...
