    Breakfast buffet for two people was included in our 1 night stay at Bai Hotel in Mandaue, Cebu. The buffet was at the hotel's Cafe Bai on the 2nd floor. The venue was very large. The restaurant was so clean, really spacious, and the staff was top notch. The buffet choices were more than I am used to. We don't have as many entree choices as Cafe Bai had in my hometown in California. They cater to an international clientele. They had food stations for a multitude of cuisines such as Japanese, Korean, Chinese, Indian, Western, and Filipino. Literally something for everyone. My favorite choices were the Filipino dishes. I would love to dine at their Breakfast Buffet during future visits to Cebu. So worth the value!

    I finally found a buffet in Cebu that measures up to my discriminating taste and penchant for quality food. If you've experienced Las Vegas buffets and hope to experience something close to that, this is where you go. There is a wide selection of dishes, from roast beef to sashimi, soups, fruits, dessert and assorted refreshments, including coffee. The place is clean, and huge. with courteous staff clearing up your used plates, cups and glasses. Truly a very pleasant dining experience!

    This buffet is located in Banilad within Gaisano Country Mall center. If you are coming from…read moreMandaue area stay on your right side and do not get on the bridge, we made the mistake and got on the bridge and end up passing the entrance closest to Family Choice buffet. There was another entrance up ahead but seemed as if it was only one way, so we opted to make a u-turn ahead. We then went back to the underpass ahead of Gaisano Country Mall and made a u-turn at the underpass at the second turn you can make without any signs indicating u-turns weren't allowed. If you miss the first parking area closest to Family Choice there is another parking area entrance ahead on the otherside. We arrived at the buffet about 5:00 pm and staff indicated they were still setting up. About 5 to 10 minutes later they indicated it was ok for us to start. So we grabbed some plates and checked out what they had. They didn't have much for a buffet, about maybe 9 entrees (including 1 choice of soup, bird's nest soup) at the main entree area and about 5 to 6 in the salad area. The only thing that was hot as it should be, was the soup. The beef caldereta was chewy, the lumpia was soggy, the cooked spinach was bitter, this green bean dish was decent. Green beans were crispy, which was good. I didn't partake in the other offerings as numerous flies were just parading through. My wife had kinilaw (fish or seaweed eaten raw usually with vinegar and chili) and she indicated that it was prepared sweet. She didn't expect the kinilaw to be sweet so it wasn't a pleasant surprise. For dessert, you had a choice of pineapple, watermelon and or diy halo halo, which they kept the ice in a suspicious looking cooler that did not look clean at all. Restroom: This is an appetite killer. Disgusting!! That should've been an indication what we were getting into. Just flat out gross!! The restaurant in general was not clean. Over head lights appear to be filthy and the restaurant itself is not maintained well. This buffet used to be on Gorordo and in those days the restaurant appeared to be in better condition with more varieties of food offerings. Sadly, this is not the case anymore. Buffet was 240 pesos per adult (does not include drinks) for dinner. Gaisano Country Mall charges 20 for parking but free for the first 3 hours if you or someone in your group is a senior citizen with i.d.
