good food and amazing variety at low cost, Saturday, 14 July 2007

Written by profsteam - View all my reviews - Top 100 Reviewer

We visited "All's Well" for the first time this evening and were very pleased. The buffet holds something to delight every taste. There were Chinese dishes, western salads, salad bar, sushi, lamb on skewers, steaks, pizzas, and much more. The climax of the meal was a large offering of in-house made sweet treats; some rich some light and watermelon too. The service was smooth and unintrusive but always helpful. The fixed price of Y49 per person includes all the Qingdao beer or coffee you want. We realized that the price per person cost less than having lunch at McDonalds back in the USA and is about 10,000 percent better. Also, the atmosphere is quite, the decor sophisticated. Tables are set with linen table cloths and napkins and western silverware. The patron can linger over a variety of Chinese language magazines or the International Harold Tribune. A great meal, pleasant environment at a great price. We certainly plan to visit often in the future.

All's Well Saturday buffet evening, Thursday, 17 May 2007

Written by awm - View all my reviews - Top 50 Reviewer

I went to All’s Well last Saturday with three friends. This restaurant is just round the corner from the bottom of Lianhe Lu.
On Saturday you can have an “all you can eat and drink” buffet for 49 RMB.
We were shown to a largish table in the corner of the restaurant which was very comfortable. The greeting and seating were excellent. In fact the waiting staff here is very good at their jobs.
You go and help yourself to whatever you fancy. As the restaurant was more than half full (a mixture of Westerners and Chinese families) the pizza turnover was very quick, so usually it had just come out of the oven. The other dishes were constantly being replenished.
Food: The pizza is what attracted me there and it was very good in style The pizza bases are thin and made with Italian flour (unlike the P H dough!) and the toppings are very generous and varied. There is also a wide range of salads, different kinds of fresh bread, 2 soups (my minestrone was a little disappointing but tasty), well filled kim bap and bits of what might have been be sushi. There is a cook-to-order grill: with very good thinly sliced steak (which they still able to cook rare!), which is covered in pepper sauce if you want it; meat balls, mutton and chicken kebabs (also sauced if you want). There are several different cakes and sweets – enough to completely seal any last hole in your tummy!
Drink: soft fizzy drinks, water and Tsingtao beer freely available. I never got to pay for and try their wines. I will leave that for a future occasion!
Service: It is here that the restaurant excels. The waiting staff immediately spot when your glass/bottle is empty and refill on request. They were also constantly clearing our table of the pile of empty plates.
Music: unobtrusive, so must have been OK!
Ambience: very good. I don’t know if or where smoking was allowed but I ate a meal in a smoke-free atmosphere.
Toilets: very clean (from a male point of view!).
I will be returning. It was a very good buffet meal that was not too expensive
