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.

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.

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.

It can be cheesy, and corny; but hey, it goes with it. German signs, German costumes, German food, drinks, decor, architecture. Everywhere you look, it's German inspired. There is even a photo opt with the world's largest cuckoo clock. Of course, it would be here. So the food wasn't to die for; but it wasn't awful either. Average is probably the word I'd go with. Because it's a buffet, I go in with a plan. A little bit of everything to try, and if I have room, then I make my way for seconds. I do wish if they had a bigger range of bratwurst, or if they had red cabbage, or maybe even potato pancakes, or crisp apple strudel... But the desserts were tasty, I really did like the chocolate mousse. And kudos for the music, it transformed your dining experience into a bit of a show and audience interactive. Just brace yourself to meet the von Trapp family singers! For all things German, as corny as it is, I thought it was a good experience and was happy that I came, I saw, and I ate.

Two suggestions: if your going to do a paired down lunch buffet, at MINIMUM offer some basic lettuce and at least one dressing.

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!!!
