Jimmy Chung's Bar and Chinese Buffet (Scotland)

On a recent holiday to Scotland, we initially struggled with finding a good place for dinner. The main reason for this was that by the end of the day my parents were too tired to go out to eat and they really didn't want to eat pizza or burgers or fried chicken. Having fed them kebabs the first night, my husband and I set out on the second determined to find some 'proper' takeaway food at a price that didn't break the bank. Near our hotel we couldn't find anything other than pubs, Italian restaurants and pizza parlours. The further we walked, the fewer eating places there were. We were considering kebabs again when we realized we had walked almost to the railways ...  Read the complete review

Now that I am living in England, I do tend to find that the Chinese food is cooked to the tastes more down here as to how they cook it in Scotland. I do like Manchester because with China Town they have a lot of nice all you can eat Chinese Buffet's but some have things I like where as some others have other things I like. I find it difficult to find a restaurant which has all that I like under one roof in terms of Chinese Cuisine. Whenever, I go home I like to go to Jimmy Chung's which if you live in Edinburgh, you will be well aware of. They were one of the first restaurants to open offering the all you can eat buffet which has since started a craze but they still do ...  Read the complete review

Dundee has two all-you-can-eat / buffet Chinese restaurants that I know of, Jimmy Chung's Chinese Buffet being the less-easily-accessible-in-terms-of-parking (because it's all strictly metered down there), but on the whole much better one. On the other hand, unlike its nearby Chinese restaurant buffet competitor the 'City Quay' Jimmy Chung's does not, nor has it ever to my knowledge served that delectable little Fife-and-Angus speciality (or abomination, depending on your point of view), the deep-fried peanut butter sandwich. Though I have to say that in my opinion, this can only ever count as a good thing. Jimmy Chung's is about two minutes walk from the ...  Read the complete review

Jimmy Chungs is largely a Scottish chain of Chinese buffet restaurants found as far north as Inverness and as far south as Edinburgh, although should you ever decide to hop across the Irish Sea, there's one at Dublin too. It's probably not doing wonders for the supposed Scottish obesity epidemic but many Scots love this place and it's fairly light on my wallet... *~Chungs is Cheap~* I've been to two restaurants, the Stirling one and the Edinburgh Grindlay street one. You can pretty much waltz in to one of these restaurants on a weekday lunchtime and consume your own body weight for as little as £5.49 per person (Some include Sundays in this ...  Read the complete review

For anyone who has never heard of Jimmy Chung's. It is a chain of Chinese buffet restaurants all over the Scotland and one in Dublin. They are very reasonably priced and the food is delicious. I have only been to one of the Jimmy Chung's restaurant's. It was the one in Stirling, Scotland. It is situated relatively close to the main shopping area of Stirling (a 5 minute walk from the Thistle shopping Centre). It is close to a few pubs and clubs. I think this is an ideal place to have it and this is one of the main reasons that they are so busy. The other reason that it is so busy is that you leave there feeling that you have been well fed ...  Read the complete review
