What are people saying about buffets near Adelaide, Adelaide South Australia, Australia?

This is a review for buffets near Adelaide, Adelaide South Australia, Australia:

"Chinese Garden's been around a while, and provides good quality food at a reasonable price. They have an all you can eat buffet special that has proven to be a regular crowd pleaser, and they're a good option for takeaway. While you won't find anything here that isn't pretty much the standard fare for a 'Western' Chinese restaurant, they do do it all very well. A friend of mine gauges his Chinese food by the cashew chicken, I prefer satay chicken as my benchmark - both are good here. The bonus with standard chinese is the kids love it, so it makes a great family destination. Decor is traditional Chinese Restaurant - red and gold abounds. Park in the carpark next to Bargain City - I've seen way too many cars parked outside on the street lose mirrors to the buses here."

"Excellent buffet breakfast. Poached eggs with Hollandaise, carved baked ham, smoked salmon, Green juice. Great selection of quality cheeses and crackers. Cale was delightfully engaging and friendly as well as making a great pancake to order. I eat gluten , but the gluten free baked goods were the best: coconut pineapple cake, raspberry mango cake, raspberry macadamia nut bars. Capuccino very good."

Chinese is one of the most ancient and varied cuisines in the world, yet it often gets oversimplified in Australia. Cantonese and Sichuan may be the most prominently represented of China’s regional cuisines in Melbourne, but they're just two of “the eight great cuisines” (the others are Jiangsu, Zhejian, Fujian, Hunan, Anhui and Shandong).

It’s actually uncommon to group the food of the country’s regions together. Despite Australia’s long history of Chinese immigration (which started in the mid-19th century), it’s only in the past few years that we’ve seen dishes from some of China’s lesser-known cuisines make appearances in Melbourne. And they’re still mostly bound to Chinese-community enclaves such as Springvale or Box Hill.

Whether you’re looking for a hearty Middle-Eastern-inflected stew (commonly served in China’s far-west), a fiery Sichuan hotpot or a basket of the best xiao long bao in town, there’s a place in this guide for you.
