Restaurante Asiático "ABC" — Restaurant in Torrevieja

Was recommended by a friend to try this place out. Overall restaurant vibe was cosy however the tables can get quite cramped especially if it's seated for 4 pax. For buffet standards, the quality of food and taste is by far one of the best in Southern Spain (comparison to few other Asian buffets we have been to). At barely €15 per person, there is a wide variety of selection (including sushi) to pick from the all you can eat buffet. I think it's also brilliant that the portions are small so you get to try as many without worrying you'd waste food but space on the table can be rather challenging. Been here twice, the first time we were there at 7pm which was early for Spanish dinner time and service was excellent. Dishes were served hot and rather quick. However during our second visit, we went at 2pm although deemed early for Spanish lunch hours but it was coinciding with the Father's Day weekend. The place was fully packed (thankfully we made reservations) and servers were frantically serving non-stop. As we foresee orders being served late (due to customers in the shop) we decided to order in batches so as we finish, we didn't need to wait for too long. Unfortunately, one of the waitress told us that we shouldn't order "frequent" which left us baffled because we only made a total of 4 rounds of order with approximately an average of 8 dishes each. Right after we were told to not order "frequently", there was an almost 30 mins delay and when the food was served it was cold. Infact, not all our orders came (so we reordered the 5th round for the missing items). Like others, we were there to celebrate the occasion with my father-in-law so you can imagine the frustration when we had to pause for 30 mins amidst eating for the food to arrive. We also asked 3 different waitress to check on our order (between of 10mins interval) but to no success. I would say it's likely the peak hours / traffic that caused this however it was still a disappointing experience. Nonetheless it was overall a satisfactory second visit and perhaps we will not come during peak occasions just to prevent the repetition of same experience. Hope the management also take note on ways to better manage peak hour orders so customers don't leave feeling dissatisfied in future. Couldn't managed to take pictures of all dishes but here are...

.just been again but with my family 5 adults and 1 x 135cm child .restaurant at least half full .service very poor food came out in bits and bobs having to ask at least 3 times for things missed off first order but this continued throughout the meal .ordered main meal with 2 rice and 2 noodles mains came out but rice and noodles did not come out for 25 minutes even though they were asked twice more .we asked for the bill where we were charged for 6 adults we told the waitress how tall child was as she measured herself on way in .the waitress literally pushed child down to measure her where she could see child was only 135 and not the stated 140cm for adults .After having a good shout at us in Chinese she gave us a new bill withchild price on it...

It used to be one of ours favourites places in Torrevieja, because the food was so tasty, but in our last visit we felt like we were scammed. My family is vegetarian, so we basically order the dishes with noodles, rice and vegetables. They didn't send us the all the vegetables and made huge and very tasteless portions of the other ones, so we couldn't eat all of it. The owners are others now. One came and said that we should pay for what was left, what we did, but I'm not coming back to this place. It's a shame that they changed...
