Advantages: Good Value For Money Disadvantages: Not Very Authentic, 10% Gratuity Charge Included In Bill
...One such place is Wokmania, situated on West Street, just outside of the City Centre, in an area which is popular with Students.
Wokmania is actually a chain of Buffet Restaurants with outlets in Birmingham, Newcastle, Leeds, Doncaster, Brighton, and my local Restaurant in Sheffield. Wokmania is a Limited Company that has been trading since ???with its head offices in Halifax, West Yorkshire.
This particular review is based largely on my local ... ...their Restaurants in other locations.
The first thing that you will notice when you enter the place is the decor. It is very bright and spacious, and open plan with tables set out around the perimeter of the room and the food on display in the middle of the room. As you enter there is a small Bar located to the left of the entrance and new arrivals are instructed by a sign to wait here to be allocated a table. We visited on a Monday night when the ...

Quick review of Wokmania, Sheffield
Why do we want to visit a restaurant with substandard food? The service is non-existent, the food extremely spicy (not Chinese at all), the staff indifferent and the price on the high side.

Wokmania is a Chinese food buffet restaurant on West Street in town.
I've been 3 times with various friends and found very variable standards.
On the positive side, i would say the environment at wokmania is good - the large tv's are often on showing fun programmes like takeshi's castle - and it's always been clean whenever i've been.
The buffet style means there is always something you'll eat whether vegetarian or not. Most of the food is Chinese ... ...is well set out and there's plenty of seats although for the evening meal it can be busy. Usually it is quite quiet at lunch time. The best relatively new addition is a chocolate fountain, which is included in the buffet bill.
On the negative side, there's a10% Gratuity charge for what can only be considerd very little service. They send you to a table and some other people tidy up occasionally. Being a buffet it's self service including getting ...

I have been to both of the other Chinese buffets in Sheffield city centre and have been pleased with the variety and quality of the food on offer. So having read Ciao reviews on Wokmania decided to give it a go for lunch yesterday.
On walking in was pleased to see a clean, smart modern looking restaurant. We were shown to our table and asked for our drinks order. Since we both had to work in the afternoon we ordered two soft drinks. We were not ... ...refillable, we only realised this when we saw others refilling their empty glasses. We did not manage a refill however since the drinks machine broke ten minutes into our visit. I understand that these things happen and customers waiting for drinks were reassured that the problem would soon be rectified. However, when we left after an hour there were still no drinks and customers were still being told the problem was getting fixed. There was no offer ...
