Chinese Buffet in Oberursel

April 18, 2007 By Graham Leave a Comment

I haven’t recommended a restaurant for some time now, so today I’m going to write about the Chinese buffet at “Mayflower” in Oberursel.

The buffet is smaller than the one in Nord-West-Zentrum, but still offers a good selection and the food is good quality. The evening buffet also has ice cream available.

However, at the time of writing the midday buffet costs 7,90EUR and the evening one 13,90EUR per person, which I consider to be a little expensive considering the choice of dishes available. That’s why we only go there on special occasions.
Parking space is available behind the restaurant or in the surrounding streets.
