Last Saturday I've been to the Citywok in Los Barrios and I gotta say, I was suprised more then once.
The place is really big and it was massivly crowded when I came, so really a lot of people around the food area and didn't feel at all like a nice restaurant, too much chaos everywhere and a real lack in service as well :(
The food offer war surprising as well, I expected Asian, but half of the buffet was not asian, from lasagne, paella or pizza they offered quite a lot. I stuck to the asian food mainly, went to the Wok station and had me grilled something, a queue of like 10 people and apparently they mixed my food with some other food just for me to never see it again, so waited like 5-10min and then had to go again, this time is was quite fine.
Then I did something, which i really shouldn't have done, but couldn't help myself, had to go to the toilet, which eventhough I am male and just had to pee, was literally disgusting, no other words to describe it...
Well I grabbed some mixxed buffet stuff, which was "decent" and then went to try the argentenian grill, which offered a huge selection of meat, looked really nice. Quality was ok'ish again, nothing too bad, but well, nothing good either.
Sushi was the next thing to try, but it didnt offer much variety, like 4-5 different items to choose from, which I just took all. What suprised me a lot is, that they had sashimi (just fish without rice), cause it's normally quite costly, well I toke one slice as well. That sashimi was salmon and I had to spit it out again, it was just really really bad, tasted like I would have to vomit 10min later if I had eaten it...
Well overall the buffet is huge and obviously there are several nice things, but a disgusting toilet and bad food (the sushi) adding with the bad service, kinda only leaves 1 possibility for...
Read moreI have not been in a worse buffet for ages. Had tried a lot of dishes hoping to find something prepared well to justify the money spent. The food is simply mediocre or outright tasteless. The duck, fried in oil is dry as a broomstick. Meat a la plancha is prepared side by side with seafood which gives it a peculiar taste. Pizza is dry, gambas absolutely tasteless (maybe the cheapest version), salads are passable but one notices the cheaper quality of veges. Well, I went to dine there because years ago I had a wonderful experience there which now has changed into the absolute opposite. Cannot recommend the place at all. To the owner: invest in a new cook and better...
Read moreCame in at 15:45, so 45 minutes before Lunch closing Time. Atmosphere was not there, whole restaurant was full, kids screaming it was so loud that you couldn't talk normally. Service was bad, we were asked about drinks and said we needed 2-3 minutes to think, waiter completely forgot us. Additionally none of the staff spoke a word of English, which of course isn't mandatory but would be good for tourists like us. Food wasn't really anything special, really bland, half of the selection were fried goods. Parking was good, Toilets were dirty as expected. Price was ok, 43€ for 3 People with 1 drink. Wouldn't recommend though, better restaurants for...
