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 but there's also staples like chips there.

The restaurant 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 drinks. It also is not made clear outside that there is a charge so it's not as cheap as first thought of.

The worst bit being that it's a restaurant is that i've found the quality of food has been poor - especially when the place is quietest (around 2pm), i've had dry cold food before now. However the food has been better during busier times.

The best bit to this restaurant is that they do offer chopsticks.

I wouldn't return again and the fact that Wokmania is one of many other options in Sheffield, in the future i'd try somewhere else.
