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.

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.

Breakfast they say, is the most important meal of the day, it gives you energy, gives you clarity…read moreto get through the day, it sets the tone. So finding the perfect breakfast, well let's face it, is reality easy in a city such as Melbourne. So many cafes and restaurants offering their take on poached eggs, smashed avocado sprinkled with the latest super food grain and freshly juiced kale and ginger juice makes it a smorgasbord of choices for today's customer. Hotel restaurants around the world have been offering up a breakfast buffet since the dawn of time, with a large degree of failure. The biggest challenge being keeping the offering hot and serving up a variety that keeps them a step a head of their competition. Collins Kitchen in the Grand Hyatt Melbourne offers up this time honoured tradition and where others have missed the mark the Hyatt have not only exceeded the mark but have set the barre to new heights. Firstly this is a grand restaurant overlooking the plain trees of Russell Street, with warm and inviting furniture that lets you know you're in a five star dining room in a world renowned hotel, a perfect place for the perfect breakfast. The major difference here is how they offer you the food, there is not a trestle table or Bain marie in sight, instead they have four show kitchens, each with a dedicated chef, either cooking to order your choice of eggs, be it poached or a wonderful fluffy omelette, or continually cooking crispy bacon, sauté mushrooms or an array of dim sum. Fresh fruit, an assortment of freshly baked bread and a chef offering to squeeze you a super juice, is awaiting you in another kitchen. There's a deli with smoked salmon, turkey and ham on offer with a great selection of cheese and crackers. If that doesn't fill you up then you'll need to head over to what one can only describe as heavens kitchen. Freshly made waffles and pancakes with fruit compotes and cream. Pastries and cakes galore will give anyone with a slight sugar addiction the fix they need. The only way to make this experience better would be to offer ice cream for the waffles, but that's just me being slightly greedy. This is not a place for a quick breakfast, to get the full experience you need to spend a couple of hours here and for $42 is certainly value for money.

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.

The environment was super classy, with high ceilings and marble walls and floors. The servers were polite and attentive majority of the time. There were a few times we had to flag them down to take away our used plates and refill our water and wine. The was an extremely wide selection of food. The categories include: salad, cold cuts, cheese, cold seafood (oyster, crab, lobster, shrimps, etc), carving station (turkey, ham, roast beef, lamb), Italian, Chinese, Japanese, Indian, dessert (chocolate fondue, ice cream, cakes). I wasn't able to try out all the food, but the dishes that stood out was the halved lobster with melted herb butter, the stir fried clam, baked salmon, roasted ham, raw oyster, Queenland tiger shrimp and the peppermint chocolate ice cream. The disappointing dishes include turkey (dry and rough), roast beef (dry), king crab (very mildly sweet to tasteless), roasted cauliflower (way to mushy), stir fried asparagus (tough and fibrous). Also, the sushi and sashimi selection was disappointing and the sashimi did not look fresh. The price of the wines were reasonable for a hotel restaurant. Overall, for ~AUD$200 (excluding alchohol) per person, I would say the buffet price is reasonable.
