Exelent service! The place is quite elegant and very clean. If i'd live in Melbourne i'd come to eat there often. The price is much higher during the evenings (more than 60$ for the buffet) but I think is totally worth it.

Food is now of quality. The yum cha dim sums are now wheeled around and also avail. at the back. The duck is crispy and flavoursome. Same with the roast pork. Food is not cold and plentiful. Not like the old days. The custard egg tarts and especially the durian puffs!! worth a return visit. 3 stars as I'm still skeptical.. if it's the same management don't expect this to continue!

There was so much food! Since it's a buffet you definitely want to start off eating crabs or something so you don't get full too fast. There was a wide selection of seafood from oysters to crabs to mussels. There was also a large selection of rice dishes, Peking duck, chicken and pork. The sushi area didn't have a very large variety but you could pick the fish that you want and they will cut it up for you. They also served seaweed salad and squid slices in that area as well! Overall there's was so much food from sweet to savory. The place is a bit pricey but you'll definitely get your money's worth!

I took my partner to this restaurant. We were both very unimpressed with the food quality. The…read moreseafood was extremely chewy & not eatable. The meat was cold & the noodles looked like they were sitting in beds of bacteria. It is apparently a high end all you can eat buffet & I honestly didn't even finish half of my first plate. I figured I payed for this over priced food so i may as well try the desert. The deserts were very bland so the outcome was I spent $150 on icecream and two glasses of wine. I do not recommend wasting your hard earnt money at this restaurant. I gave a 1 star as this site will not allow a 0.

Does not really live up to the hype…read more The restaurant is located in a very convenient and desirable spot. Don't expect to see too much of the bay when you are dining though, not that there's much going on any way. Went for the dinner buffet. The choices are quite limited in terms of seafood. My personal favourite is the bay bugs, but they are only boiled in water, you will have to be creative to dig out (carry some yourself maybe?) some source you like.

House of Delight is the newest Sichuan/Hot Pot buffet game in town, their price is $25 for lunch…read moreand $38 for dinner w/o drinks. The restaurant itself was spacious and quite refine, but their food selections were limited. Minimal choices of seafood, protein (pork, lamb, beef, chicken), vegetables and the ready to eat hot/cold food bar. They do, however, have an incredible variety of make-your-own dipping sauces to dip your meat into. My recommendation would be their sesame peanut dipping sauce, so creamy and tangy. Each diner will gets your own individual pot along with two choices of soup flavors - My pick was the original and the spicy soup. The broths were such a letdown, the original was not flavorful and the spicy half was extremely numbing and spicy, I was guzzling down lots of water with each bite, pure agony. Some of the highlights: the fried chicken ribs, the prawns and desserts which were quite delectable. Sadly, I would say 70% of the dishes I tried here, unfortunately, doesn't taste as good as they looked. The beef was not the best quality, in fact, most of the meat was a lot chewier than expected. The ready made food was cold, greasy and bland, and some others are just simply bad... The service, on the other hand was very efficient, they are really prompt in topping up our stock and clearing up our plates. Since this place can get really busy, RSVP is recommended, and definitely come at lunch for a friendlier queue. Overall, glad to have sampled a variety of Sichuan food at a relatively cheaper price! But feel like this might just be a one time thing for me. Best of luck!

Let's start this review off by giving you some background info about me. I've been to all the hot…read morepot places (Chilly Flow, Dainty Sichuan...you name it) in Box Hill and Glen Waverley, as well as a few other regions. I can tell you there are two types of hotpot in general: One that you pay for each ingredient (Usually Expensive, higher food quality), and one that's all you can eat. (Usually better Value, lower quality). Among all the hot pot restaurants I've tried, there is virtually nothing that can compare to House of Delight in terms of food quality and value for dollars. Zilch. Nada. Some information about this restaurant: House of Delight is actually not new. They have another restaurant that was insanely popular but was demolished due to an expanding shopping center. This used to be their second restaurant, their Ron Weasley. Their spock. Now it's their flagship, and hopefully more are coming. House of Delight offer all you can eat buffet style hot pot, which is an exceedingly rare feature these days. Most other all you can eat hot pot are priced at around 35 dollars lunch, and upward 45+ dinner (some you have to pay for soup base on top of the per head cost). House of Delight is priced at around 29 dollars lunch, 42 dollars dinner. Chilled Water is free. You don't even pay for rice. This really is the best value you're ever gonna get anywhere. The food quality is consistently in line with other hot pot restaurants in the region, if not flat out better. The broth is fragrant, spicy and lips numbing - which, by the way, is the whole point of Sichuan cuisine (duh!) - and those who can't deal spicy will be delighted by their many other choices such as Tomato beef and clear herbal broth. The cooked dishes are decent extras that you can partake, though at 29 dollars you shouldn't expect a la carte menu quality food (they do have those, and while they taste much better, you do have to pay for them). Some are still great, others are average. I generally recommend against munching on those, however. When dining in a hot pot restaurant, you should be there for the hot pot, and for 29 dollars you get all you can eat prawns and crabs. If you are an experienced diner, you should know that is incredible value for money. Another big plus is the service. The service at this restaurant is much more professional than any other hot pot places you will ever dine at (unless you dine at CBT, where you can be expected to pay over 130 dollars for a dinner for two, and even then it's not guaranteed). Waitresses greet you, remember your face if you're a regular, hurry to clear your plates, fill up your broth without needing to be asked to... No wonder this place always seems packed. Here are some pros and cons for people who are allergic to reading: Pros - Incredibly high value for your money. (High CP value.) - Consistently higher than average quality ingredients. - Great selection of food, both cooked and uncooked (fruits, desserts...) - Great ambiance - Quality Service - A variety of sauces to choose from (This is a staple of hot pot restaurant, so it's not that big of a plus, but it's worth mentioning that you do not have to pay for these. In some other restaurants, you do.) Cons - Quality of the buffet food can be a hit or miss depending on your time of visit. Great if you catch them while they were freshly cooked, average otherwise. - Can be a bit of a wait due to the restaurant's popularity. Booking in advance is recommended. - The tables are a little bit small, and so are the pots. this is important because you can't cook too many things at once. If you do the spicy broth may spill into the clear broth. Overall: No restaurant is perfect, but this one comes pretty close. Solid hot pot, Decent food. Definitely worthy of a visit for my fellow stingy brothers.

Two suggestions: if your going to do a paired down lunch buffet, at MINIMUM offer some basic lettuce and at least one dressing. I have never been to a place that advertises as a buffet that didn't have dessert. At minimum, how hard /expensive would it be to slice up a few types of fruit and put it out? That would at least make it look like you tried...

We loved the deserts and also all the food was so delicious and didn't taste like it was frozen or just microwaved.

Also I really like how the food is covered, you don't have to worry about bugs or things falling in and getting dirty. Overall I'm obsessed with this place and can't wait to come back!!!

A bit on the expensive side (with mains starting at $23.50), but it's a great place to go with family for special occasions. Make sure you book in advance. You can now book through their website, too.

I like the Glen Waverley RSL because it's my mum and dad's favourite hang out. They LOVE it here,…read moreand they've made many friends here so I can totally understand why. Everyone is so friendly, and because a lot of the people who come here are members of the RSL, you see the same familiar faces time and time again so it feels like a tight-knit little community all on its own. As a member, you get really good discounts on drinks at the bar plus other special offers in the restaurant like a free meal in the restaurant on your birthday. There's also a coffee/tea/hot chocolate machine and a biscuit jar that you can help yourself to for free. This is right next to the pokies machines so it must be to help keep everyone's sugar levels up whilst they're gambling their savings away. Apparently they put on quite a New Year's Eve event here as well. Good times. I just think this place is cool for taking care of my folks and making them happy.

As expected from when they first opened. No way they can sustain this. 2nd have noticed a few waitresses responding to customers with "hei".. not sure why as the place is PRC ran and is all chinese! 3rd.. The salmon portions are TINY!! see my pics! Compared to when they first opened... meeeeh.. thinner n smaller than your thumb. But still nice to eat. 4. The seafood tempura!!! this has improved alooot! Generous serving and the batter is really good!! Crisp light and not thick n doughy! 5. The roll sizes have shrunk as well. but still gd to eat. 6. The sesame n green tea ice cream is now back to what it once was. Not the watered down flavouring!! Red bean pancake this time round was poor. Dripping with oil! 7. Service is more attentive now as it appears there's more wait staff on floor. 8. No more breaded oysters!!!! No longer available. 9. The beef??? meeeh. U can give that a miss! Tossed in oil and chewy! Is it really scotch? The beef tataki is still alright. 10. Oh the barramundi!!! HAHA it's cold! Tastes ok but what are they thinking?? Anyway... 2 good 8 bad... take it for what it is.. go in with no expectations and you'll love it.. whereas I have been here since the day they opened and have high expectations due to the benchmark they have set at the start. *** 27/06 - visit #5 finally experienced what some have expressed concerns over!! have reduced my rating from 5 to 1 star!! YMMV!! Had a booking for 10pax... my birthday celebration !! first sitting. Must b out within 2 hrs. by now I already know the menu off by heart!! and know the drill. With such a big grp we ordered early and ALOT!! it's ALL YOU CAN EAT! Right? WROOOOOOOONG!! food came out reaaally slow and they limited our food!!! yes!! they did. I asked several times where was our 3rd & 4th order of sashimi?? it never came!!! Nor did the beef steak or additional servings of spider rolls, tempura etc!! waved the waiter over more than 3 times. Looking at the time we only had half an he left and we weren't even full!!! they tried to give us our deserts before our backlogged orders! Had already told hen we were still waiting on food to arrive. Sent the desert back. To appease us 2 dishes came out but not the salmon sashimi. before we knew it the bill was on the table and desert was being brought out. I was willing to let it go until we went to the front counter and saw the sashimi already prepped and ready to be served!! This PISSED ME OFF!!! the poor kid at cashier got an earful! I asked to spk to the owner / mgr. Kid asked why. Told him that they need to change their signage it is NOT all u can eat!! we were still hungry!! Was happy to let the bad service / experience go as the place was busy but when I saw the sashimi there in the refrigerated counter I lost it!!! I told he kid that that cannot restrict food if it's all u can eat!! Especially if there is a 2hr policy!! I won't go into too much detail of my remaining remarks and I hope all that was waiting in line heard what I was saying!! PRESS for more service!! and insist that all ur orders are fulfilled!!! DONT LET THEM GET AWAY WITH IT!!! "*** 01/05/15 - visit #4 they've improved on quite a lot of their dishes since my previous visit. salmon sashimi! Soooooo gd!!! The cuts n quality are much better!! teri steak was a bit tough this time tho. *** Try this place out before they go broke!!! Fish is of quality and the variety is enough to sustain ur interest for at least a few hrs. Stick to the BMI!! Buffet Maximised Index... Go for repeats of the most expensive and avoid as much as possible the carbs to minimise the effect of feeling full. ie. Go crazy on the sashimi and minimise rice intake. Avoid high salt content foods eg. gyoza as that will make u drink more... therefore inhibits ur ability to fully execute the BMI. If u have and I reckon u should.. order use the salmon sashimi to wrap around the Las Vegas or Spider Rolls... it's da bees knees!! obviously avoid the noodles and fried rice

A deal like this means something is sacrificed. They run the place like a cattle farm, shipping people in and out on their schedule, doing it how it suits them. We arrived early for our reservation not realising it was a restricted seating time and they made no attempt to accommodate. We weren't even offered drinks while waiting 30mins, and that's just bad business seeing as it's additional revenue. We ordered a lot at the start but loads of things never came at all or we had to repeatedly ask. My drink took 4 requests. They ran out of all but one dessert (pre served and stored ice cream) and when we requested another after the mains were finished it was refused because the kitchen was closed and scooping some ice cream was a burden too much for staff. They weren't rude. They just don't care. A like it or lump it attitude with zero attempt at remotely reasonable customer service. Even the manager has disdain for the people paying his wages. As for the food, it's adequate. It's not bad but it's not good. The salmon sashimi is just barely passable. The beef is low quality. We ate a lot, which is truly the only reason to come. It's not for quality food, a good atmosphere or service. Just shove in as much as you can in your allocated time and you might not begrudge paying your $40/head.
