• Good buffet

  Inshanghai can be quite tricky to find! It is under the bridge and you go down the steps near the Gates shopping centre. This means that it is on the river edge and far away from all the other restaurants, pubs and clubs.They do a good Chinese buffet and really do cater for every taste! I don't really like Chinese food but they even serve more plain meals for fussy people like me! Also, they offered to make my vegetarian friend a meal that would be catered to her needs! When we went, you could keep going up to the buffet and refilling your plates so you certainly won't go hungry here!!One problem for us was the price of the place. We had been told it would be £10 each for the all-you-can-eat buffet [which is basically the only thing that you can order] but when we went the price was actually £15 each. They had increased the price because it was December. Also, they wouldn't give us any tap water so we had to buy bottled water.

• Terrible treatment, awful manager

  We've been to Inshanghai before and never had any problems, but then again, we'd never encountered the awful manager before.I'm not a fan of Chinese food but we went to Inshanghai for my sister passing her exams in August. We first decided to go before a certain time (can't remember whether it was 6 or 7pm) to get a cheaper price for the buffet, but my sister was running late so we resigned ourselves to the fact that we would have to go for the later, more expensive price for the same food! Then, I saw that with a valid NUS student card, you could get 15% student discount. However, this was not to be! I told the manager when I went in that I had a student card and he informed me that they didn't do student discount over the summer, in a very rude tone, even though all the menus still boasted student discount and didn't even mention that there would be no discount over the summer. I told the manager that it was still on the menu and that he should then give me it, but he refused and told me, again very rudely, that he was the manager and he could do whatever he wanted to, he could take away the menu from me if he wanted to do that! I would have left but my family were hungry and still wanted to stay. The rest of the staff were very nice and the food was ok but the manager has put me off ever going again.
