DoReMiFa Wok-Sushì-Teppanyakì In Perugia

After many years I return to this historic AYCE restaurant and I must say that I found it just as I left it. What differentiates this restaurant from other All You Can Eat? The self-service mode. If you are a comfortable or mysophobic person, this place is not for you, since you will have to use things that have been touched by who knows how many people. I don't know if the quality has dropped or remained the same, but undoubtedly you cannot expect, for example, a tray of pasta prepared 2 hours ago to have the same freshness and goodness as a dish cooked on the spot. 1) What is the place like? The restaurant is located in front of a well-known fast food brand that unfortunately takes up a lot of space from the adjacent restaurants, forcing us to go around 50 times before finding a parking space. DoReMiFaWok is a place with a very nice and well-kept Asian architecture, divided into several rooms, with very pleasant music, with comfortable chairs and adequately sized tables, free WiFi, and the staff is quite friendly, but not very busy. In fact, despite having little to do (not having to carry dishes to the tables) I never saw anyone with a broom in their hand, and in fact you could see a bit of everything on the floor. In addition to the improvable cleanliness, there was also a lot of grease around (including a strong smell of fried food). Apart from all this, one of the things that undoubtedly characterizes this AYCE most is the possibility, at the end of the meal, to enjoy a fruit salad or a dessert, for free! Nothing special, to be clear, but better than nothing. And all this for only €15.90! 2) How do you eat? As said at the beginning of the review, you certainly can't expect superfine quality from this restaurant, but all in all for what you spend it's okay. The availability of dishes is not very many, and is mainly based on appetizers, first courses and fried foods, but there is also a sushi platter and a refrigerated counter with raw meat and fish to be grilled. -Appetizers: the choice is really wide, from vegetables to fish-based preparations. If we also consider the side dishes, there is almost everything. Too bad there are no soups (3 points out of 4) -Sushi: unfortunately I arrived after 1:30 pm and more than half of the platter was cleaned, so I settled for what was there. Improved since the last time I was there (it tasted like cardboard) but not at the level of the best AYCE. However, all in all I didn't dislike it (3/4) -First courses: we come to the weak point of the meal. Lukewarm, overcooked, some raw spaghetti, not very tasty… edible but could be improved a lot (2/4) -Second courses: since I don't eat meat, the choice was limited to some seafood, fish and cuttlefish; it is also possible to grill some vegetables. I limited myself to taking 4 shrimp skewers, but they left a lot to be desired: tasteless and full of sand. They were probably not cleaned well (2/4) *Bonus - sweets and fruit: in a small refrigerated counter there were some sweets, some types of exotic fruit and a tray of fruit salad; next to it there was also an ice cream maker with 5/6 flavors. Nothing exceptional but very welcome. 3) Is it worth it? The reasoning to do is this: are there AYCE restaurants that with ~€18.50 (lunch + 75cl water) you get up from the table with a full belly, where you eat better than here, where you are served and revered? Yes. So what's the point of coming here? Well, as I said, the place is very big (at least 50 tables), waiting time to eat is practically zero, you take what you see with your own eyes, choose the quantities that you like the most, you can take them as many times as you want... in short, complete freedom. Sometimes these are also small pleasures. Final 'Bandix Travels' rating: 36 points out of 50 (average of AYCE in Perugia: 35)

A large room, a relaxed atmosphere, a vast choice of good food, for all tastes

Chinese restaurant where you eat and serve yourself but in addition to the typical Chinese dishes there are more typical Italian dishes

Very varied food but the fried food was cold. Good service even though water was requested and it didn't arrive, we had to remember the order. Beautiful and elegant environment.

What can I say, I've never seen sushi like this before and a sushi buffet full of many varieties of dishes including oysters, I'm a real lover of them, it's truly a spectacle, you can also decide to have the meat you really want cooked, everything is good including even the desserts on the menu

Absolutely excellent, my family and I were there on Saturday for dinner and I must say that I did not expect to find such an organization, top waiters, all kind and helpful, exquisite dishes with lots of choice and always well stocked from appetizer to dessert, highly recommended for both friends and family, my children had a good time and ate very well, we will definitely be back, we spent €95 (money well spent) 3 children and 2 adults with service charge and soft drink

Nice atmosphere, with buffet and open grill. There is a great choice of both Asian and European starters and first courses and everything is of good quality. Nice price, desserts also included.

I went there with my children and I must say that it was really worth it!!! Everything excellent and fast.

Excellent truck and car wash. Well done guys, everything organized and the job done well.

Restaurant with buffet format. Many tables, well set up place and the price is the strong point. On the other hand, the quality of the food is not the best and the fact that all the food is in the buffet means that it can sometimes happen that dishes that remain there for several minutes lose their freshness. All in all 3.5 stars are appropriate
