Yamm Buffet in Dundee City

Jan 2 2025 , normally £15 per head, today was charged £22 just cos it was a bank holiday. The place is open 7 days a week, the food isn't any different or better at any time. Its cash ONLY probably cos they pay the staff min wage in cash sod the tax man.

pretty place but the food wasn't great at All. Ever since going here my mum sister and me have all gotten very ill and the lady in the toilets was the same don't recommend at all

Not much normal variety food in the Starters menu, but the Main and Dessert Meals were really tasty. Staff were excellent.

The food is very good, not exactly the best, service not so good especially to black people.

I was very disappointed today going to yamm with my daughters and a friend the food was nice but every thing was not hot and it should have been very hot but it wasn't the need to check all the food and the temperature of it I felt a wee bit ill when I got home I don't know if I will be back

Lovely buffet, lots of different options. Everything was full, fresh and tasty!

Only takes cash so obviously a tax dodge would do good for hmrc to audit this place.and the managers is very cheeky and doesn’t have a clue about people

Poor overall. Some food piping hot and other things like rice and beef lukewarm. Service mixed. Signs up stating some meat items may be pink but are cooked is off putting. Overall do not recommend, not good value for money.

I can't get enough of Yamm... especially their pork dumplings thing...the food is amazing and you get more for the money spent.

The food was absolutely disgusting the chips were rock solid and stale the macaroni cheese had skin on it and all the desserts absolutely stunk disgusting and mr Kipling cakes. £21 per person and none of us ate one plate of food. Staff stood across from our table the whole time watching us eat I felt extremely uncomfortable and toilets are all the way down stairs and no disables toilets I’m heavily pregnant and struggled to walk down the stairs absolutely disgusting I don’t recommend don’t waste your time going here!!

Excellent, really enjoyed it. Only went as Rancho Pancho and Tony Macaroni were fully booked. Couldn't fault it.

La comida no estaba mal. El gerente fue horrible y muy grosero. Era el cumpleaños número 18 de mi hija y reservé por adelantado, casi le arruina el día. Es espantoso que esté bien que continúe hablando con los clientes de la manera en que lo hace. Muy mal servicio al cliente.

Not great, food luke warm and very bland. Save your money and go elsewhere. You have been warned!

Not been in a long time Get the bus to work outside yamm buffet Too expensive now

Not a great choice of food, some trays with no covers, so food went cold quickly. No alcohol, not great for those who like pint with your curry. No interaction with staff. No disabled facilities.

Went on a Wednesday night. Not over busy but enough to give atmosphere. The selection was vast. Beautiful presentation and cleanliness. Food was really very good. Definitely highly recommended.

Absolutely hands down the tastiest buffet we've been to. Went on a Sunday night for my sons Birthday and wasn't disappointed. Huge array of choice and all tasted fresh. Didnt get a chance to try everything as there was so much but really enjoyed the sweet and sour, the satay prawns, the salt and pepper mushrooms and the prawn toast. Will definitely be back next time we are in Dundee.

Great food, seems expensive but for the quality of food and service it's worth it

Really nice place. Great food. Downsides were cash only, and no alcohol served (although that's apparently temporary)

Comida sabrosa fresca, algunos personal bastante bajo y grosero (el hombre a cargo también es bastante grosero) , otros muy amables. El lugar está impecable y un buen entorno. El problema principal es la parte de efectivo que me ha disuadido de ir a este lugar antes, que se debe a mí mismo no tener efectivo en mí la mayoría de los días, ya que es 2024 ... Recomendaría si estuvieras atrapado en dónde ir, ya que esto es cuando visito con amigos y familiares. Bonito restaurante limpio con tanta comida como quieras : )

The first visit was really good and the second was really poor. Very varied food taste and quality.

Awful experience. Food was inedible and the staff were spraying cleaning fluid at the next table while we tried to eat. Also had to move the pram as they put us right at the back and kept needing past with dirty dishes on trolleys.

5 star buffet I had abt 10 plates of food if you go there you need to try the egg fried rice so amazing

Great food and the staff are so friendly we will be back again

Place is a dump ripped seats and dirty floors Went for lunch with kids and charged same amount for younger one No fish or seafood options as I don't eat meat so choices very limited All food under heat lamps so very dry Even kids complained it had no taste

All the seafood on the poster at the door is given three at a time. Specifically, one scallop is divided into three portions for customers, and customers can only take three per hour. All the hidden conditions are implemented after entering the store, rather than being announced in advance. In addition, the seasoning is very salty, so customers will quickly get sick of it. What is even more despairing is the hygiene conditions. The picture shows where new forks are stored, which really makes it difficult not to get sick.

Great food as always just getting bit pricey. But must admit worth it never had a bad meal yet.

The food was delicious, the people where lovey and kind and the atmosphere was joyful

First time being here and can say that Yamms has a large amount of food on offer. The food was great, Indian, Chinese, Italian, Japanese and more. The variety of the food was on a very good scale and very tasty softs drinks are refillables and deserts were ok but im not a big desert fan and thier is plenty of fruit on offer. we paid £21.99 per person for the evening (dinner) menu and kids are half price. We didn't book and was walk ins this is a cash only place bit thier is a bank machine right across the road at the top. The staff were very polite and the man who took us to our seats was very nice and cheerful. We sat down the bottom end with a nice seating area. The only thing that I would say looking around the area the top area seating is very worn with tear and wear and definitely needs replacing but this didn't effect us. My daughter misses the fish aquarium from the last owners. Thank you overall experience a 9/10

I would personally like to commend the staff and Sylvia who was totally amazing and so welcoming and kind to my family She should be commended Array and selection of food mouth watering and so good value money wow 🤩

Nice food and service, second visit and still enjoyed

Great food, nice establishment...

Great Bit expensive on a sunday but good food

Friendly staff , good quality definitely we will visit again.

I have dinned in there for the past three years and they are amazing at all fronts.

Only cash taken needs looking too 1 for the taxman 1 for him? into thought it was too expensive £24.95

Fair choice of dishes and sides but most of the food I tried tasted bland and some fried items were greasy. That's not to say they all are but I can only comment on what I eat. Staff were very friendly except, you guessed it, the older man in charge who appeared curt. He needs to learn to be friendlier or leave somebody else to do his job. He's not helping to promote a pleasant eating experience at all. The place itself is clean and ok but clearly the decor of previous occupier. Lastly, quite overpriced for what you get. Overall, there's much better out there if you're prepared to travel. I won't be back.

Mi amigo y yo decidimos ir aquí a almorzar el sábado y una vez más no nos decepcionó. Nunca estás atrapado para una opción, ya que hay un montón para elegir. No había bandejas vacías y constantemente se llenan, lo cual es genial. Sé que los pasteles están congelados, pero son muy bonitos. Echo de menos la máquina Mr Wippy, pero las opciones que tienen ahora son buenas y saben bien. El personal y el gerente son serviciales y amables. Siempre recibimos las bebidas rellenables, lo cual es genial. Sé que a mucha gente no le gusta el hecho de que no sirvan alcohol, pero no me molesta a mí y a mis amigos. Es una lástima que sólo tomen dinero en efectivo pero no es gran cosa.

The food is great, they also have a large selection, unfortunately it's the most expensive buffet I've ever been to

The worst Chinese buffet we've ever been ( trust me we have been in quite a few). We went for a lunch, straight on entry guy said " cash only " that was it, no hello, or good afternoon, nothing ( in fact he looked like he was angry we came in). The lunch menu is very basic, limited and tastless, cold, just not good food. The best part of it was refilled drink and glass of water

Incredible variety of food with comfortable seats and lovely staff! Love this place

Do not go here... Not worth the money. Food has been sitting out all day, dried out and stale...NASTY!

DO NOT EAT HERE Worst buffet I have ever had in my life The food was cooked long time ago and sitting under the heat lamps for hours. I asked if they could bring out fresh food and they said not till the old food was gone. This is not the place you want to eat. I’m still in shock on how horrible it was. You better off going anywhere else. They charges us $22 per person and 3.50 per drink. DO NOT GO EAT HERE YOU WILL BE VERY DISAPPOINTED

The food is good, plenty of choice, kids ate Chinese, Indian and pizza, followed by deserts and fruit. Only downside was hearing the boss telling off a member of staff for putting us on a table of 6 when we were a family of 4. Restaurant wasn't busy, so no problem. The staff are very friendly and helpful and deserve praise not tellings off. Workers of the world unite, you are the wealth makers, the bosses won't make a penny without you! ✊

The food wasn’t really that good, the price was outrageous for what the food was, I am very open to trying food and try not to complain to much but the food had to of sat out for several hours and became very dry. The service was not the best either while they were kind they just all played around with each other and were rude to us. I would not recommend going there at all! Again the food was not the best and the prices were outrageous, £22 for one person, I have ate at better places for much cheaper!

Good buffet in Dundee in a budget. I was craving for asian fusion foods and this place is the best in Dundee. Dumpling and prawn tempura was so good! Prior booking is required. They accept only cash. No card payment. And you need to pay extra for drinks.

Lovely food and nice looking restaurant but to be charged for 5years old full price is shocking

Average buffet restaurant. Food is ok, but not great. I thought it was on the expensive side for what you get.

Las primeras impresiones fueron malas, ya que no había una advertencia anticipada de problemas de licencia con el alcohol, que luego tuvimos que salir y obtener por separado. Luego, mientras estábamos sentados, notamos que el cuero de los bancos estaba dañado y roto. Los inodoros se sienten como si necesitaran una actualización también, ya que los asientos no parecían ajustarse a las bandejas, no estaban particularmente limpios y el secador de manos también estaba roto. En cuanto a la comida... estaba bien. Algunas cosas eran más agradables que otras, algunas cosas necesitaban un buen revuelo y algunas parecían demasiado secas. El korma fue el mejor korma que he probado, sin embargo, ¡así que eso fue muy bueno! El costo era bastante alto, pero era un viernes por la noche y podríamos haber comido tanto como queríamos. Simplemente no lo hicimos por la elección para nosotros. Si hubiera traído el de mi hijo, habríamos ganado nuestro dinero. En general, volvería a ir, simplemente no iría allí para una ocasión, y tal vez en un momento más barato (según la cantidad que como).

Found by chance on a weekend away. All food piping hot and plenty to choose from. Service was on point and very helpful

An average restaurant. Nothing special. Some staff a bit odd. Have to pay cash which is very odd in today's cashless age. Food okay. Something for everyone's tastes food wise. Good selection. Although you do feel at times you are being spied upon a little too much for comfort. Seating area packed in a little too close for comfort although when we visited the restaurant was quite quiet so it wasn't a problem. No alcohol license so soft drinks only. Some seating severely in need of repairs as the covers are scratched or shredded, but the seats we sat on were fine. Would go back as it does offer food for every taste which is great when you have a group who like different foods. And it is all you can eat, even if you feel that some of the stuff are mentally adding up in their heads how much you have eaten! If you can survive the odd feel about the place, then it's an ok evening out!

I totally enjoyed myself here. Was invited for a friend's birthday and was so excited to try different meals from the array. I'm definitely coming back with more friends

Great find just round the corner from our Sleeperz hotel when staying for CAMRA AGM and Members Weekend. So much choice of great food at a great price. Service was great and the place very busy

First time I came here years ago I thought it was great. Hot food, lots of variety, decent price. Visited a couple of weeks ago and when I saw £22 hand-written in felt pen, sellotaped to the door I thought, "I'm not paying £66 plus 3 drinks!!!" (Went to the Turkish place next door.) Ate here 5 days ago and did quite enjoy the food but it's not great to be honest. Not being unkind but it feels quite sad in there and the music is pretty bad too.

Delicious foods and reasonable price for the buffet. Worth to visit again

The man that was ushering people to their seats was very rude especially to ladies.... Don't think I will visit there again

Great food and relaxed atmosphere, even the fussy ones of our family, got plates full. Great variety of choices for everyone.

The food is good but the staff keep glaring at you with nasty stares and it's unsettling. It even takes away the good taste of the food sometimes. They are quite hostile people but we try to concentrate on the sole purpose of the restaurant which is the food and the food is marvellous but as for staff, I would give zero stars if I didn't feel guilty.

Lots of choice but food was luke warm . Also expensive at 21.99

We phoned ahead of going to yams to be told we don’t need to book just to come along , we were not asked upon arrival if we had been here before so did not know that there was a chef to do your steak if you would like one , on arrival the girl asked how old our child was I said 13 she proceeded to say she would be half price then another girl said no she will be full price because of her height ( she had wedge converse on ) absolute disgrace , we had to get our own cutlery too .

It was my first time here, as it was recommended by my boyfriend who had been here before. There was a great variety of food. I loved the chicken corn soup and the potato+melted cheese meal (I don't know the name). The staff were kind to me and I appreciated it! I would definitely eat here again.

Food is always good. Great variety and always cooked to perfection. Nice surroundings and facilities. Staff always have a smile on their face and eager to help.

It is very good buffet, definitely better than Cosmo in Aberdeen. Food was very nice and tasty, Indian section also fantastic. Only one kind of meat was little stiffer but in so huge amounts of food that can be accepted, and there were other 10+ fantastic different kinds of food. Definitely coming back.

I was in this establishment with my daughter today. I can honestly say its the worst buffet ever. For £15.49 each the food was warm and disgusting. My daughter only ate the chips as only thing hot. To my disbelief a member of staff came out of kitchen with a tray of fresh food. To my disgust mixed it with the food already in bain marie which was cold. Not only once did this happen. I made complaint twice once to waitress then to woman on till. The lady offered me 10% off my bill which i refused. Then i was offered my drinks to be taken off the bill. I says its the food am complaining about not the drinks. To my frustration i paid and left and i wont be back and i will certainly not reccomend.

A good night. Quiet on a tuesday but enjoyed every mouth watering moment. Great service. We spent 3 hours of quality time. Catching up with friends

It’s a great buffet. Great food all you can eat. Deserts are great to. Lovely staff apart from the pizza chef had a bit of an attitude. But one of my fave places to go. The noodles are so good. And salt and pepper chips yum

Great selection very helpful staff and prices as expected for buffets. Food good quality and plenty for everyone. We visit here frequently and never disappointed

Good food, I recomand this place!

Great choice of buffet food , very friendly staff and reasonably priced too. Despite having no reservation and it was busy they got me a table without any trouble . Highly recommend

Gave 1 star as unable to give none Avoid this place, it has gone downhill rapidly Dirty ripped seats, staff in dirty clothes. You pay a higher charge for evening menu, only to be sold the afternoons cheap menu leftover’s. The food is inedible, cold cheap and tasteless No point in complaining as they will only hide in the kitchen or come back 20 minutes later to tell you they are going to get fresh food out… to little too late, they will then threaten you with the police if you try leaving without eating and paying 👏

I took my eldest son for the first time, plenty of choice, and everything was topped up regularly. Service was fantastic. My only issue was how close the tables were together, I was near enough arm to arm with the next table.

Very expensive mistake - no child prices, no alcohol licence, tatty seating, toilets miles away, lukewarm food, would avoid.

Stopped for lunch the food was lovely and hot the seats had seen better days the puddings cold have been better they are shop bought u could have bought better or made some same with the fruit should have been fresh fruit and were just offering soft drinks no alcohol

Went for lunch and got a table no problem which I thought a bit unusual as when it was Jimmy Chungs there was always a queue. The place was very quiet. Ordered a beer but apparently they had an issue with the license. Got sat on the torn tired seats, kept my jacket on because the place was cold, then went for food. Tried the chicken pieces but couldn't get my knife through them. Looks like it had been reheated from the night before. Not fresh and had on odd taste while being tough and chewy. Then we tried the beef in black been sauce. Not one bit of the beef was edible. I couldn't chew it without a possible splinter of my teeth. We tried various other dishes and I could honestly say there was nothing I liked or would try again. Even the korma was bland and tasteless in it's thin watery like sauce. I won't go back and recommend to avoid the place.

Great place for dining with friends and family. Great selection of food and friendly staff.

This used to be a favourite place for Birthday dinners. They have went downhill rapidly. The place is looking so aged ripped seating, could also benefit from a deep clean. The food was inedible You pay extra for the dinner menu although at 5pm the food was cold and dried out. These had obviously been left overs from the cheaper lunchtime menu. On making a complaint we were approached 20 minutes later and told they were going to be brining out fresh food, too late for us. Staff uniforms dirty and in ironed, some in joggers with rubber gloves? Some staff even sitting sleeping in the entrance area to the kitchen. Honestly couldn’t write about our visit without someone thinking it was out of an episode of still game. Now home and we all have upset stomachs.

Visited on Thursday 1st Feb. Good selection of varied food. Only let down was that some of the food was not very hot. Notified kitchen staff of this and I assume she notified another member of staff who came across to our table and said "to give the food a chance to heat up". Absolutely rubbish as food should be hot coming from the kitchen to the buffet area. Will not be returning.

used to be the dinner slot was more expensive than lunch but the food was better quality , now only one is true, bet you can guess which one ? still no drinks licence and cash only.... place was full of kids havin a great time runing about uncontrolled and having jelly fights . will try next door, more expensive, but full. goodbye Yamms.

Brilliant choice of food and plenty of it 😋😋

Food cold chicken very dry not worth the money cheap cakes

Heard a lot of hype about this place and I finally understand why, but it’s not good… it’s a buffet and that’s about all there is to say about it. The place looks very nice but the hygiene really starts to show when you’re there. The food wasn’t great, with a lot being bland, greasy, dry or just plain terrible. I tried a wide selection here and it’s by far the worst buffet restaurant I’ve been too. Left feeling fine and within a few hours feeling very sick. The teppanyaki was awful, it was just greasy and the squid I had wasn’t even prepped properly with eyeballs and insides all still apart of the final product. Some foods were unlabelled and all deserts were terrible, with all cakes tasting bland or dry and the ice cream tasting bland as anything. The toilets were disgusting and looked as if they hadn’t been cleaned in a while and had broken elements of both toilets as was made apparent by the rest of my party. The staff were very quiet and hard to hear at points There was a wide selection of food but not overly impressed. Ultimately if you want a good buffet you’d be much better off going to Taza in Dundee, or travelling out of the city for Cosmo at any destination. Safe to say I won’t be back in any rush

The food tasted awful from the last time I went. My water had stuff in it even before I had food which grossed me out and I had to pay over £21 pound for 3 people which is ridiculous for the quality of food. I will not be going again.

Not a great gluten-free choice. Needs maintenance. Toilets are a bit grotty.

A self service buffet with a wide sellection of Asian food, freshly cooked and very tasty. Staff were OK but really only bring glasses for drinks and take away the used plates. They seemed disinterested in their jobs and customers, no engagement at all. Not a great atmosphere, very 'canteen-like' despite the updated decor. We went on a Sunday evening and the price £22.95 per person (cash only), despite having two kids: 8 and 12 that we had to pay full price for...! Expensive for what it is. That is why I only give 3 stars.

I don't know of this place has changed hands but the food was awful!, chicken Marland was tough and tasted strange. The curry sauce was salty. The staff were rude! Asked us to put our pram at the front area when I seen other parents have their prams at the table? What if my child needed a nap? I will not be back again! Awful food and staff!

This place. Is not good the staff are rude I went in and three staff members asked the same thing how many people are eating and my daughter had to put her pram to door and other people with prams were doing what like the food is not good the curry was so salty and some of food was not cooked

food was very presentational. unfortunately chicken was a bit tuff.and It did not end good for me or my husband been up all night and having to stop on the way home to use the toilets due to being sick and out the other end felt a bit disappointed. also when was having dinner I felt like a,fish in a fish bowl staff kept staring every couple of mins

Excellent food great range of different dishes 😋

Unfortunately seated next to toilet so alot of traffic. Good spread of food. Nice staff. Clear prices

They couldn’t serve alcohol due to a licensing issue so we had to spend more money at a pub for drinks. The food was great, I would definitely go again

We used to go here quite often but place has taken another turn for the worst. Food was awful. Soggy chips/onion rings, food was so bland and then we had dry chewy chicken 🤢 As a family of 5 between us we hardly ate a thing and paid £130 never again!

Great food very hot and great choices the girls that served us were very happy and friendly, will definitely be back thank you.

Absolutely superb food.....choice was brilliant..... constantly topping up .We went just after 5.00 p.m. Terrific value for money.

shocking!! this place needs shut down. food was dry chicken was chewy like seagull. random things floating in the soup. even a pig wouldn’t eat the food from here

Loads of food to choose from but the Chicken (tryed a few different kinds)was dry, chips were staler than stale...cakes are a little hard even the toffee apple had a burnt taste to them😳 sadly won't be back👋

I have nothing POSITIVE to say about this place. The food was cold and tasteless, the seats were uncomfortable, and the service was awful. There were empty chaffing dishes on display, absolutely unacceptable. Even though we paid more than £20 each for a buffet. Ridiculous! So, on our way out, we were asked about our experience, I expressed our disappointment and displeasure as first time customer. There was nothing to suggest they understood how we felt. The lady at the till just hurried us along to attend to the next customer. Will never go back there, ever!

Food and service was okay for some extent. But the person in the main door is disrespectful to customers. I think he is a manager there. He might be thinking that we come without money. He was really rude. Management should take some actions. He should learn how to behave. There are limited parking spaces in front of the place. And it’s so hard to get one. And the price is too high. There was no difference in the menu between lunch and dinner. £21 for the same food?? No way. Don’t want to go there again.

We had a great time there. Courteous staff, excellent service and delicious food.

Food was excellent and service first class very reasonable price will go back and recommend to our family and friends

Nice place to eat out with family and friends. The foods are nice, good customer service.
