Where to Find the Best Sushi in Leeds City Centre
"Let’s start with my favourite and, in my opinion, the best sushi in Leeds. The day that I found out that a bottomless, all-you-can-eat sushi restaurant was opening in Leeds, was one of the best days of my life. The price varies depending on when you go, ranging from £19.95 for a weekday lunchtime to £34.95 for a weekend evening."

21 Leeds restaurants which would never get a Michelin star but we love anyway
"Blue Sakura redefines the concept of all-you-can-eat with a system that sees dishes made to order, from hand rolls to teriyaki, ordered in 'rounds' from the tablet on their tables. There's sushi, soup, tempura, grilled dishes, Teppanyaki dishes and Korean food - and all of it is absolutely mouthwatering."

The Best Chinese Restaurants in Leeds - Food & Drink Guide 2021
"Sometimes, you just want to indulge – and that’s where Crown Chinese comes in. Their all-you-can eat buffet offers great value for money, and is packed with fresh food coming out of the kitchen as much or as little as you want for a whole two hour period. Their menu’s not for scrimping either, with all kinds of Chinese favourites, including everything from Cow Mein, Sweet & Sour Chicken and all kinds of others, with fresh meat, seafood and veg being the stars of the show."

Get Your Sweet, Sour and Spice On at the Best Chinese Restaurants in Leeds
"Just a few minutes outside the city centre lies Crown Chinese – they’re masters of the all-you-can-eat Chinese buffet. Yet the term buffet is slightly misleading because they bring everything to your table freshly cooked. That’s right, upon arrival, you’ll have two hours to order whatever, and however much, you like from the generous a la carte buffet menu."
