Le Dynastie could hardly be less scenic. It's basically a utilitarian box in a graceless shopping centre, with fake 'brickwork' (wallpaper) inside and a...well, a car park outside. But after a day's shopping, it can be handy, and it does do an 'all you can eat' Chinese buffet for around 16 euros at night or 11 euros at lunchtime. I've used it a few times now, and it hits the spot with lots of choice: fresh crispy salads, plenty of meat and shellfish (including scallops and tiger prawns) plus a hot-wok bar where a chef will cook your platter to order in a choice of six sauces. It's a big place, seating at least 100, and they do run it efficiently, even with a long-suffering smile of sorts. On my latest visit, last night, I was alone and wanted to read, so they put me at a table under direct lighting, which was good. I kicked off with a little assortment of won ton, spring roll and crispy nems, plus dipping sauces, and they were all good though probably not quite as good as the same dishes in, say, Beijing. For a main course the chef flame-grilled the prawns and scallops of my choice and I had them with very tasty noodles (various kinds of rice if you prefer) and was a happy camper until the place started filling up with yobs who began to slurp and burp at nearby tables, holding their cutlery like toddlers and generally demonstrating a total ignorance of table manners. I'm not a fusspot, but I do object to having to listen to the open-mouthed mastication of every morsel by total strangers (or anyone else for that matter) followed by burps as loud as a backfiring lorry. Ugh! Otherwise the meal was enjoyable, finished with an assortment of fresh fruit, ginger, sesame crackers and ice-cream, and for 20 euros including a half-litre of nice white wine, it was good value. But sadly the value seems to be the problem: it attracts people intent on stuffing themselves without regard for those who simply want a pleasant meal without farmyard noises. It was the first time this happened at Le Dynastie, so let's hope it's the last. It wasn't the management's fault, but it was off-putting. I'll give Le Dynastie one more shot, with fingers crossed for a return to civilisation, because it does have plentiful parking, plentiful food and a general aura of aiming to please. It'd be a good choice for a big group - a work night out, say - but don't even think of going there for your wedding anniversary or anything of a romantic nature.

Came on a Monday night with our 2 young children when staying La Gourmandine in Eselletes (see separate review)The place was packed with locals - always a good sign. The concept is similar to a Yo at a fraction of the price. All you can eat for @£19 and £8 for the kids. Loads of variety both warm and chilled. Perhaps not as elegantly presented as the aforementioned but very tasty and fresh with some local variations thrown in ( teriyaki cheese skewers ??) very friendly service.
