A good range for midweek but virtually empty when we arrived so not much atmosphere. The waiter was somewhat distant and seemed preoccupied. Another, Oriental gentleman came out of the and keenly checked levels of food. The soft drinks were flat and some food was only warm. Parking is 5 minutes away. There are 4 steps at the entrance to get in, so difficult for a wheelchair or mobility scooter.

If I could give this a zero then I would, food wasn't good. The chicken in the satay was raw, only a couple food stations were open so not much choice. Most of the desserts were stale and definitely from a packet. Service was okay, the bar staff were friendly enough but the gentleman who collected our places didn't even acknowledge us when we said thank you.

Worst place for Asian and Black. The waitresses were very racist towards us. He is really disrespectful and ignoring us. He gave us a side eyes for many times. Every time we asked or call him he saw us but he never come to us or served us. And if the manager or the owner see this. This waiter is the white guy with blue eyes and blonde hair. The LGBT one. Wish he fix his attitude🤍

There’s even sushi, and the Thai fish was exceptional. Good selection of desserts including amazing pancakes with different sauces and fruit filling - save room! All at a very reasonable price.

Honest review this is what I thought. Guy at desk helpful and polite when went in. Food was all cold. Chicken pink undercooked and slushy. Pork all grisly and flavour not nice I actually felt sick, balking. The meat all seems like it’s cheap scraps used and all grisly and chewey. Chips also under cooked. Definitely not trained chefs more like someone who can not cook having first attempt at cooking. Honestly worst meal I’ve ever had and won’t be going back again. The sweets was only nice part but for £77 for two adults and two children not worth it. Been before when was called YO YO which wasn’t that good, we only tried again because thought may be better now reopened but actually was worse. Very very disappointed.

Oh my goodness, where to start?! So "international buffet" is a drastic overstatement. It was some pizza, some sushi, a tiny Indian curry and rice and just loads of Chinese food. I started with the Indian curry and had a piece of chicken which was raw, pink and cold in the middle. I told the waitress who informed someone, she came back and said it had been cooked twice and that it was "normal" for it to look like this. It was cold and pink and slimy in the middle, I'm pretty sure this isn't "normal" for properly cooked chicken. Needless to say I didn't eat any more of it. Then an alarm went off in the restaurant and I'm not exaggerating when I say it went on for nearly quarter of an hour solid. Before we left I used the toilet, I kid you not, the toilet seat fell off the toilet! So around 6pm last night I started to feel unwell and have been up with food poisoning since then and doctors later today because of it. Honestly if I could give this place zero stars I would. Never again.

We read the reviews and were very weary about what we would find, but to be honest, we were very surprised. OK, some of the food could have been hotter, but those bay Marie lights don't keep food as hot as they should, I don't think. The quality of the food was good, the quantity and selection were very good the staff were lovely, the desserts gorgeous . Couldn't really fault it to be honest we have been to better but believe me I definitely been to a lot worse. Even the bathroom and toilet very clean would definitely recommend this place .

Was waiting for over two weeks for our dinner from booking. Looks nice but all tastes the same. Especially when you see the cooks eating and spitting their own food out straight in front of us. Save your money and find something else or you will be disappointed. We travel a lot and try all you can eat all over the place and this is the worst one..... best thing here was the ice cream which is brought in...

Slightly disappointed with this restaurant. This is advertised as a global menu but is made of mainly of Chinese/Indian dishes, it has the same atmosphere and smell of YoYo in Beijing which used to be here a few years ago I believe... The food is clean but lukewarm and appears and tastes of low quality esp the Yorkshire puddings/Doner meat. The lager was flat, the Pepsi max was the only thing in the range of normal. Desserts we're satisfactory at best. Also there is an instant feeling of mistrust when you are waiting to be seated, as it is mandatory to pay in full before your meal, this leads me to the conclusion of low trust in their customers or that the food probably is worth the price and which they charge.

Me and my partner went yesterday for some tea. We had been once before, not long after it opened and apart from having extremely bad stomach ache the next morning it was good. However, when we went yesterday they no longer take card which meant we had to get money out which is no issue. But when we went to get our food most of the dishes were nearly empty and then when we sat down to eat we found that every individual bit of food was stone cold. We both didn’t even have a plate full of food. I then went up to get a crepe and there was a working talking to the lady that was making it. She asked how the food was and when I explained that it was all time cold she abruptly walked off and said she would go look. I sat back down and ate the crepe which was the best thing in the place. She then come out of the kitchen which a thermometer and checked all the food then came back over and asked if we could tell her exactly what was cold as she checked and all food was sitting at around 60 degrees. We told her what we had and then she went back into the kitchen. A gentleman then came out 5 minutes later and within that all the food was steaming hot. Within this me and my partner walked out after paying over £40 for less than one plate of food each, a crepe each and 2 drinks. We will not be returning at all. Very disappointed

We were pleased it was available for a late lunch (after 2pm), and the food selection was very good. The self-service buffet had plenty to choose from and was all nicely cooked and with good taste. There was a good selection for a dessert too. The only negative I can definitely say was that the toilets were dirty and in need of a good clean.

All you can eat Global Buffet should mean just that but it felt like we were an inconvenience at 8.45pm after being told well it is a late booking..... A late booking you confirmed therefore should give what you offer not empty trays or Luke warm dry offerings ... This really is a true portrayal of our visit I'm afraid...

Came here to try for a lunch, hesitant because of the mixed reviews. Upon arriving found that 2nd person is half price on a mid week lunch, which was nice, however upon entering the waiter wasn't all that friendly and then said you have to pay before eating (probably due to the number of complaints), and then tried to charge us full price. I pointed out that the 2nd person should be half price as advertised in their window, he adjusted the price, but this shouldnt need to be pointed out as everyone eating at this time should get this offer. Onto the food, a decent selection is available, but the roast meats didnt look that great, i wasnt going anywhere near the sushi just from looking at it, we eat sushi alot and know when its old. Most of the food was just bland some was hot, some was cold. The steamed dumplings were piping hot and tasty, and the 1 prawn i amongst all the potatoes of the indian curry was lovely, i went back 15 mins later to check if some more prawns had been added, sadly not. Oh the duck pancakes were dry too, i mean the duck had been there a lookng time and the pancakes snapped! Overall it just felt like eating to stay alive, so long as you eat the right things to not get ill. Save yourself the effort and choose the other chinese buffet in town or the carvery, both are cheaper and better.

I booked here for my partners surprise birthday meal. It was super easy to book I just went online to make a reservation. I DIDNT HaVE TO SPEAK TO ANYONE! I booked a table for fifteen people, risky, I know but my partner loves Chinese food and it was her birthday. There were 9 adults and 6 children. Even the kids tried everything from crab claws and sushi to Indian food like curry, they even got their daily dose of chicken nuggets. There were plenty of options for the adults too including roast dinner, Chinese, sushi, Indian and pizza. After helping ourselves to what ever tickled our fancy for the mains, we tried all of the pudding! There was so many to choose from but we had to try a little bit of everything- including the home made sweet pancakes! As our family sat down for desert I popped over to the main desk and told them about my partners birthday. Out the staff came, birthday cake and lit candles, singing happy birthday and clapping. The cake was completely free of charge and we got to bring the left overs home. We sat and tried a few of the cocktails including the Woo- woo and the Nutella martini (basically an alcoholic chocolate milkshake- if you have a sweet tooth like me- it’s one for you). All the staff were so polite, friendly and willing to help with anything we needed. As we left all the staff members came to greet my partner personally and say happy birthday to her. We’ve visited the restaurant a few times before this and have always enjoyed it! 10/10 would reccomend

Staff were really nice and very personable. The food unfortunately left little to be desired, which is a shame. It may have been due to the time we were there, which was around 1700 on a Saturday. All of the food which was in batter was near rock solid, which I believe will have been from sitting under the heat lamp for so long, it was unfortunately borderline inedible. The carvery meats were very pleasant, although there was very little of it whilst we were there. The carbonara sadly lacked any flavour also. It may have been a one off, so I will come back at some point and try again. The Eaton Mess was spot on though!

We came here last night for a family birthday. It was my first visit and I was not disappointed, there was a fair variety of foods available, a sushi conveyor belt, pizza, pasta, kebab meat, three roasted meats with vegetables, curry, and a large selection of Asian foods along with chips, chicken nuggets and the kind of foods that appeal to children. Moving along to the desserts, there was a fair choice there too. My grandson was hugely disappointed that the chocolate fountain wasn't working, but that was the only blip. I never usually have a dessert, but I went up twice for the creme brulee! Unheard of for me. I did use the facilities, and they were clean and tidy. All in all, we went away satisfied and will definitely be back again.

Food appalling, squid, beef, pork and duck all inedible as had been out for so long it had dried up. Pricing also questionable, signage outside said £19.99 Mon-Thurs but was asked for £20.99 as they claimed it was increased as it was a full buffet and the Easter holidays. Not that long after our visit, one ended up with very severe stomach cramps!! Definitely a place to avoid.

Do like food here. Four days out of five. Good selection of the main Chinese dishes, + sushi, omelette, pizza and Indian dishes + usual sides one would like. Dessert is selection of cakes, ice cream, pancakes (freshly made) and chocolate fountain with sweet selection or fresh fruit. So not bad for the price (Although I only go during lunch as much better value than evening). Complement to chef as food is cooked well, good flavours. Only 4 star as, some days can taste difference in flavour - example the ribs - as if is mix of fresh and using yesterdays, clear difference in taste of two same items. Or the rice has a weird tang to it. (I put this down to a different chef covering because if the main lady is working expect flavours and freshness). Parking across road at St.marks (may need to pay so check). Spacious enough for seating should be fine without pre-booking.

My wife and I decided to give Vesta a try while we were visiting Lincoln, and were glad we did. It's very good for a restaurant of this type. It was a Saturday evening and the place was busy when we arrived, so we wondered if we'd get a table as we hadn't pre-booked. Thankfully, they managed to squeeze us in. The restaurant majors on Asian food, with a smaller selection of Indian (curry), Italian (Pizza, pasta) and British (carvery). We tried the Asian and Indian, though the others looked good too. There was a wide selection of dishes and the buffet was kept topped up even though the restaurant was almost at capacity. Dishes weren't always replaced like-for-like when replenished, which increased the overall choice available. There were no significant problems with cold food, though I suppose that was partly due to the busyness of the place meaning nothing was left lying around for long. The food itself was good quality and freshly cooked, if a little bland on occasion for someone who likes spice. The dessert section was more extensive that is often found in this kind of place, and was generally good quality. The freshly made crepes were especially good. The staff were friendly and efficient, quickly removing used plates so the table didn't get cluttered. Overall, good food and good value. We'll certainly pay it another visit if we find ourselves in Lincoln again.

Nice food if a touch expensive for what it offers. The food on offer depends on the time you arrive and you will drop luckier on some visits than others. Offers a reasonable selection of chines cuisine as you'll always end well fed due to the nature of the buffet servings. The sushi was remarkable in that I tried a piece and was still chewing it the next day, despite a full plate of food after the event. The desserts are nothing to write home about and genuinely quite a letdown. Worth a visit though and in the main a nice feed that won't disappoint.

Would have given higher score but was charged adult price for a 3 1/2 year old!

My second lunchtime visit to the new Vesta buffet in Lincoln. Everything was clean, all the food fresh, friendly attentive staff and most importantly, lovely, fresh food. I ate far too much and left feeling extremely stuffed. The freshly made pancakes are to die for. Even when I was bursting at the seams, I managed to squeeze one in. Fantastic value. I will definitely visit again.

Fantastic place , we were here this evening (4/3/24) for my granddaughters birthday. staff were very accommodating to our party of 7 and when we asked if the could write happy birthday on a pancake they said to give a few minutes and turned up at our table with a birthday cake, which made her day . Fantastic food and plenty of choice Nice decor Spot on food Amazing staff Will definitely return

This was by far the worst buffet experience ever! First and last time. World cuisine?yea you wish. Good selection of HOT, mixed cuisine ? don’t thinks so. Trays refilled frequently? were do I start... For over an hour many trays were not replenished or changed to freshly cooked food. Pasta carbonara never topped up, garlic bread, chips, Yorkshire pudding, potatoes just to name a few dry and cold. Even basic rice or Chinese noodles cold, dry and tasteless. Creamy korma?nope just dried chicken with no sauce and Indian curry tasted like a jar combination slop. Soda drinks had nothing fizzy about them. Air con would be nice like with any other buffet restaurants. Stuffy air, steamy windows, terrible and cold, dried food, empty trays or dried leftovers left for too long. I will not return or recommend this place. I much prefer a bowl of hot, delicious and filling soup from vietnamise Pho to this so called world food buffet

So much choice there would never be an issue with finding something for everyone. On arrival we paid £19.99 per adults (x2) and a toddler (can’t remember how much) plus 2 refill drinks and a fruit shoot all coming to £53.99. We were shown to a table and told we had 90 minutes dining time, which we thought was quite generous for a Saturday evening in an all you can eat, with no booking. We had a high chair for the toddler, the only qualm is the spacing between the tables could have been better thought out. With the plush chairs it feels a bit crammed. The food was excellent. Quality ingredients, seafood a-plenty, sushi, Thai, Chinese, Indian, American and English. Great selection of salad at the salad bar area. There were cooking stations where staff were cooking the meat, dim sum and sushi all fresh. Puddings - a bit of a let down. The ingredients lacked a bit and the ice cream was more like mousse. The pancakes prepped fresh by staff but lack choice of fruit toppings - like fresh strawberry, kiwi, pineapple - that sort of thing. The puddings were mainly cakes with a watery chocolate fountain for marshmallows. This is where they lose a star to 4*. There was easy availability of clean plates, cutlery and napkins. There was also plenty of staff who regularly cleared plates from the tables. Overall we’d love to see more fresh fruit, yoghurt, creams for the puddings but this place is a diamond and we’ll certainly be returning.

Visited Vesta on Saturday evening with my partner and sisters family. Had a fantastic evening. We arrived around 6.30 pm, and business was buzzing. Realised to get in there were a few steps, so spoke to a member of staff, and they kindly opened a lower door so I could get in with my wheelchair. Had to pay up front, which is the same for most large all-you-can-eat buffets which makes me nervous, however no need here. The food was amazing! All the hot plates were clean and keeping the food hot, which was always being topped up. They have an amazing sushi station, with conveyor. My 3 year old niece enjoyed her handmade pizza and yorkshire puddings. At £21 per person on a Saturday night, this is excellent value considering you would most likely spend this on a chinese takeaway, however when you take into account the great food, staffing costs, overheads etc this works out to be great value for money. The also have a good range of drinks at reasonable prices, including a lovely Japanese lager. All in all I would highly recommend Vesta, and we will be going back next time we are in Lincoln

I must say going onto Tripadvisor and seeing there’s been a few bad reviews does shock me. I hadn’t checked Tripadvisor prior to our visit but I must say, my experience doesn’t echo those who have had bad ones. £21 per head for an all you can eat buffet. The food was piping hot, plenty of choice and always stocked up. The drinks were reasonably priced too. Staff were very friendly and on hand should you need them too. Will 100% return.

Great experience each time we've attended this restaurant, shown to our table within 2 minutes of our arrival and all the food we can eat was plentiful in supply.

About time you got with the times and did table service. 1 person serving, at least 15 people at the bar. Joke of a bar
