Yamm Buffet in Dundee City

Went in with my daughters and granddaughter for lunch as haven't been in a while. Disappointed. This is not good food! I was just under £60 and must have eaten about £2 worth. Staff spraying cleaning fluids at the next table, having to move the pram as they wanted past with trollies. Dont know why we were seated there as the place was empty. Wouldn't recommend I'm afraid. Sorry just being honest

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.

Me and my friend decided to go here for lunch on Saturday and once again we weren't disappointed. You are never stuck for a choice as there are lots to choice from. There were no empty trays and consistently getting filled up which is great. I know the cakes are frozen but they are really nice. I do miss the Mr Wippy machine but the choices they do have now are good and taste nice. The staff and manager are helpful and friendly. We always get the refillable drinks which is great I know a lot of people don't like the fact they don't serve alcohol but it doesn't bother me and my friends. It's just a shame they only take cash but it's not a big deal.

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

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! ✊

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 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.

First impressions were poor as there was no advanced warning of licencing issues with alcohol, which we then had to go out and get separately. Then as we were seated, we noticed the leather on the benches were all damaged and broken. Toilets feel like they need updating too as the seats didn't seem to fit the pans, not particularly clean and the hand dryer was also broken. Food wise.. it was okay. Some things were nicer than others, some things needed a good stir and some bits looked overly dry. The korma was the best korma I've tasted, though, so that was very good! Cost was pretty high, but it was a Friday night and we could've eaten as much as we wanted. We just didn't because of the choice for us. If I'd brought my son's, we would've gotten our money's worth. Overall, I'd go again, I just wouldn't go there for an occasion, and maybe at a cheaper time (based on the amount I eat).

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

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

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.

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.

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

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!

Excellent food great range of different dishes 😋

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

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.

Very warm and welcoming to me and the family the food was nice bottomless soft very good price very reasonable would go again.

Food is good as always but gets very cold and you get squeezed too close to strangers

Food was pretty good, with quite a lot of choice. The place was nearly empty, so wasn't much atmosphere. Drinks were brought quickly. More expensive than i thought it would be, but overall, a nice eatery.

City quay was better but it has those teckle ribs..so all gravy in my book 😊

Well good food no empty pots or shortage of any dishes 😋

Food is amazing Good value for money, something for everyone. Only take cash no Cards

The food is delicious and the restaurant looks very beautiful with the cloud lights but whilst we were eating the staff kept staring at us.

Went to buffet as it suits family something for everyone great they have all families sitting near each other as nothing as awful when only table with kids and other people staring abojt pizza was very fresh cooked to basically order. Usual selection of meals at buffet nothing out of the ordinary Chinese and italian Indian these places don’t do British food like meats vegetables potatoes Yorkshire puddings. And don’t like the fact it cash only…..makes me wonder what is going on…..

Lovely restaurant and amazing quality of food. Is a cash only place to bear in mind but 100% worth it

FOOD IS NOW DIRE.... SEE UPDATE 2 staff are polite food was fantastic.. Only drawback... After being open for a few years is still cash only... That I find strange.. Update.... They have dissapointingly removed some of the popular dishes from the lunch buffet.. Update 2.... Will never visit again.. Every single dish was bland... For £16 a meal during the week I want to have a food party in my mouth.. but alas I was eating cold food and bland chicken.... Most of the good items have been removed...

Very good food 🍲 lovely friendly service

Was there with my German and Uganda friends ( what a mix) we had a king’s ransom of food . I myself enjoyed the incredible cuisine that was provided by the people of the country. My Ugandan friend enjoyed the sushi and chilli it was splendid. My German friend did not enjoy the experience to much as he had a little to much of red wine and was vomiting at a good rate of knots In all honesty I think the difference between Michelin starred and the food we got served was in proportion to the quality and quantity we were expecting to receive

Decent selection of food, cash only!!!

Food was lovely and staff very attentive

Food was mainly good. Good selection. Some dishes lacked in taste especially the Korma. Remember to have cash , as they don't accept card payment.

Today was my first time in this type of restaurant, where you pay once and get unlimited food. I paid £23 for Dinner and drink. I was expecting that food will be dry and I was right, but for what you pay it's worth it. I was there just by myself, but I think this restaurant is perfect for meeting with friends or family, because you can spend hours talking and trying food you never had before, you get unlimited refils on drinks too. Maryland chicken is amazing and taste like KFC strips, highly recommend trying.

The food here is fresh and Tate's good. I would recommend 👍

Pretty nice. Suggestion to introduce new menu.

We went here for lunch after seeing some.of the reviews about having a good variety and good food we were so disappointed. There wasn't too much choice. It said Italian section all it was was pizza with macaroni the pizza was over done on the top and not cooked in the middle. Multiple of there mains the meat was very tough I struggled to cut the pork with my knife and for pudding they actually had Mr kipling cakes they did have a small selection of outher cakes with was probably the best bit of the buffet. There was a ment to be a chocolate fountain but it wasn't on. Service - plates were left on the table instead of collected my partner asked for a pint it came to the ta le amd wasn't even a full pint we were very disappointed with the qhole experience

Food and service fine not much of an atmosphere, though

Bit expensive for a mid week lunch but the food was decent. Female toilets were in a very poor state when we were there.

Something for every taste bud .

Cracking amount of choice. Always a great place to fill yourself.
