Master Roasts — Restaurant in Marlborough

Due to the polarized reviews on this place I approached with an open mind, kind of lol. Buffet very impressive, got talking to a local and eat in is the way to go value wise, couldn't argue with his stacked up 19$ plate, and obviously place doesn't mind you eating all the meat lol. Takeaway containers not good value but if you don't mind that's fine. The Chinese food board menu strikes me as very europeanised, to the point of not really recognizing many dishes at all, you won't find hard to read things on there, was a little surprised when the girl didn't know what nasi goreng was let alone sell it. I ordered the 'Chinese stye beef', bit vague but there are explanations under pics if you have reading glasses on, haven't eaten it yet but taste test suggests sweet n sour maybe. The roasts I didn't consider as the pics didn't impress me and we expect that at least even if the food doesn't live up to it. Still 4 stars as there is variety and where can you get a buffet...

I JUST WANT CRACKLING... All I wanted was crackle...sorry you have to buy pork they said. "Ok I'll have some pork and I'll have some veggies too plz. Can I buy extra crackling? No sorry you can't. I paid $11.00 for 6x vegies (the kumara weren't kumara) the scummiest amount of pork and the saddest strip of crackling. I should have looked at the cost for a roast meal I guess...but I only wanted crackling... It was all weighed on scales. Haven't seen that done for soooo long. (Wish I'd taken a pik to show you how sad my meal was) On the flipside, the place was clean,...

Went for lunch with my partner she had a lamb roast i opted for the Chinese buffet a decision I would almost immediately regret once I sat down slimy undercooked chicken bland rice and inedible BBQ pork which had a leather texture I couldn't stomach any of it and when I asked for a refund I got a hostile response its overpriced and underwhelming I won't be returning...
