Jimmy Chung's (restaurant)

Jimmy Chung's is a restaurant chain in Scotland, which began in Aberdeen. A buffet, the restaurant operates an all-you-can-eat menu featuring starters, main courses and desserts.

The restaurant refused service to a disabled and mute five-year-old child in 2003 when they went to the Aberdeen restaurant for a celebration dinner. The family had reserved the table for a special occasion, but when they arrived, the family claimed that they were brusquely told that there was no room in the restaurant for the child's wheelchair.

According to statements given by the founder of the restaurant and available security footage, multiple franchises of the chain were targeted by protection gangs.

In 2005, the chain suffered a loss of business when they opened in October due to a series of internet postings making the allegation that the chain was cooking seagulls instead of chicken. Inspections of the restaurant's facilities prior to the allegations on internet forums found that each restaurant was in compliance with all relevant food and safety regulations.
