  -> what would you call then? a buffet?
neutral  PB Trans: Yes, the notion of all you can eat is there but this is a more specific concept (all you can eat implies a buffet). Here you pay a fixed price and are served as many cuts of meats as you want. You decide when to stop being served. See my wikipedia link.

agree  lexical: Yes, I think I'd leave it as it is and add an explanation. The English 'equivalents' don't quite capture the experience.
