Chai Yo in Dublin

19/07/2025: Not as extensive as other buffets in Dublin. But ok if you want a buffet without having to go into the city center.

17/07/2025: Where do I start?! Global Cuisine in Dundrum Centre embodies everything great about a buffet. The food selection is vast and appealing and is wonderfully presented. I came with my family for my son’s birthday and everyone had a blast! This buffet offers the three main courses ranging from starters to desserts along with a bottomless drink for an additional small fee, most definitely worth it as I love my coke. My personal favourite was the teppenyaki section, the chef was entertaining and was making everything with love! There were many new additions from the last time I came such as a ‘make your own ramen section’ and a salad section, which is thoughtful and inclusive of you ask me. There are fruits and loads of vegetarian options as well. My son’s friend who came dine with us was delighted to hear that the lamb, duck and chicken were halal, which further emphasises the inclusivity. The cleanliness of the restaurant was superb, the staff maintained high standards by keeping the place shiny, the windows, the counter tops, the floor and especially the chocolate fountain. I would be surprised if they didn’t have an ISO9001 certificate! The position of where Global Cuisine is placed is a hidden gem, a great area especially on the sunny evening we went on. It is at the top floor of the building with the cinema which means it has an overview of Dundrum road, because of this we were able to witness the golden sunset through the window which not only was beautiful but added onto the experience of my son’s birthday The service of the staff is exceptional! Everyone I communicated to when I needed help was patient and had a smile on their face! They would efficiently clean our plates and eating space when we were done eating which is amazing as it prevented our table from looking like an eye sore. As it was my son’s birthday, I paid a small fee of 5€ for a personal slice of a birthday cake that was decorated saying happy birthday, not only was that included in the price but the staff would come and sing happy birthday whilst playing the guitar!! This will definitely be a birthday my son will remember and this buffet is definitely a buffet I will visit again. Bravo Global!
