Great food. Great night out…read more Staff were extremely helpful. Food was of a good quality and as shown on their website an assortment of salads, precooked dishes (really good) and great quality meats for your BBQ. A new initiative they are doing is offering to grill a piece of steak and 3 ribs for each customer out back on the big grill to speed up the process. We will be back with friends to enjoy the food, the service and the atmosphere.

First time trying the buffet dinner in Thyme 2 Sofitel was 2 days ago for 2nd anniversary day with…read moremy partner. We had the best night every!! Location: the best location. Located in the Central Station. Easy access by train or bus. Price: dinner $69-$79, breakfast $59, not sure about lunch. The price doesn't include drinks. But the drink prices are normal and affordable. Food: huge variety!!! Believe me! My partner and I have tried other buffet package in other restaurants and hotels around Brisbane and Gold Coast. This has been our most favourite. The price worth what you get! I've posted many pictures of the restaurants and some of the food. Check them out! Huge variety in starters, main food, SEAFOOD, and desserts. I cannot mention each of the food because it's too many. Hehe Service: the best! The waitress was very friendly with nice genuine smile. She kept our table always clean every time and kept on refilling water without us asking for more. She always serve things for me first and then my partner. That is the correct manner of serving meal/drinks in restaurants, which is ladies first. My partner booked a table for this dinner and requested a special seating because it's for our anniversary dinner. And when we arrived, we were placed in perfect spot in the corner, with great view, and feeling more private. It was the first great impression of the night. They did not forget our request. At the end of the night when we were enjoying our desserts, a waitress came with a complementary sweets plate from the chef, with candle and plate was written 'happy anniversary'. That was really nice. (Check out the picture). This kind of amazing service will the one make us to keep coming back to this place. I'll update this review or write another review if I try their breakfast buffet next time. Hopefully it's as good as the dinner :)

We were so lucky coz I love to hunt for deals so if u book via Dimmi sometimes u get amazing deals like for example I believe it's normally $65 pp. And ATM (very limited time) it's 50% amazing!!! I loved the desert selection it was huge!! They had the tastiest prawns! Will definitely be back X

Lots of food for a decent price but sushi lacks quality and the establishment lacks basic…read morecleanliness. Went to go get sushi and saw that there was a LARGE BUG just hanging out on one of the pieces! All the other trays had flies buzzing around them.. I showed the staff and they literally shrugged it off and didn't say anything or even apologise! All the the dishes are wet and silverware looks like it has been washed solely with tap water. Good concept but lacks quality and hygiene. Couple other sushi places very close by.

Again with writing reviews about chain-stores, but this one does deserve a mention…read more I'm a huge sushi person. If I could eat sushi everyday for the rest of my life I'd be happy. I tried it for a week but then I realised I just don't have the money. So in a pinch, I find myself at Sushi Station Buffet Express in West End. And it's not half bad, not what I expected at all. From Monday to Thursday, $20 gets you all you can eat buffet that consists of one side of the buffet teeming with sushi (mostly the real raw stuff, not canned tuna and mayo), pour-your-own miso soup, and rice. On the other side you have the cooked deliciousness such as gyoza (steamed dumplings), prawn 'dim sims', fried chicken, spring rolls, and mixed vegetables to name a few. I'll admit it's not entirely traditionally Japanese cuisine, but it very tasty. And try the green tea jelly for dessert; its an acquired taste but I love it. On the weekends enjoy an exclusively seafood buffet for $25 per person, all of which is surprisingly fresh. There is unlimited green tea and water on offer, but soft drinks are extra. It's not fancy inside the restaurant but it does boast a simplistic charm. Or maybe I'm making that up because, in all honesty, I don't care what I'm sitting on when I'm on my fifth plate of food. If you're strapped for cash but need a whole lot of food, definitely check this place out as it is tasty. But if you're looking for high end cuisine and atmosphere its probably best to look elsewhere. And note: cash only!

If you want never ending fried chicken and a full ass stomach this is definitely the place to go!…read moreEspecially if you love Korean fried chicken ! We paid for the base buffet with no drinks inc because we wanted to save our stomach space to try all the food choices. No regrets. It's not a flash buffet, but it is a great hang out place to eat good food with your friends. I'd recommend the takoyaki fries, the sweet and spicy Korean fried chicken and the buffalo fried chicken with blue cheese dipping sauce - I would eat all those 3 the whole night if I could. Too 3 faves for sure. It was good service plus the chicken always came out fresh, hot and super crispy. Love how they give gloves from all the chicken you eat too.

For fast food court offerings, these guys are pretty yummy. If you're like me, from a chinese…read moremalaysian background, you will soon learn to recognise that this isn't just a food court chinese takeaway place, it is run by chinese malaysians and they mean business. They keep their wok out back hot and you can taste it in all the dishes they prepare using the wok, from the really yummy and authentically tasting Chow Kuey Teow, to the Combination Laksa, Hokkien Mee, Gon Loh Mee and the Nasi Lemak... they give you chopped chilli as well. My family have been going here for ages, yes even though it's in a food court, it may as well be a restaurant seeing how busy it gets during peak hours, even though there's a chinese stirfry place right next door literally to this place. These people aren't silly... they know where to get the good stuff. These people namely chinese students that are studying at The University of Queensland. I recommend all the above, the actual buffet food is okay too, the curry puffs have always been a favourite of mine. With the meals starting at about $9.90 for a huge plate, you will definetely be back for more.

Instead cast your eyes upward to the menu board for the best Two Wongs have to offer. They do a deliciously authentic 'Nasi Lemak' -- a Malaysian dish which literally mean 'fatty rice'. It's rice cooked in water and coconut milk, served with a mild chicken curry as well as dried anchovies, roasted peanuts, a lively chilli relish and pickled carrots. They've also got a quite good 'Hainanese Chicken Rice' which comes with an undrinkably hot broth, so you might want to ask for an ice cube to cool it down. As for the service, they may never smile at you or utter much other than "What you want?" but if you keep going there long enough, they might start giving you chopsticks instead of a fork. It's then you know that they've welcomed you into their hearts.

It's not…read morefancy; you're getting various curries ladled out for you onto a thali, sitting by yourself, and there's not much in the way of ambiance. I was attracted on a day when I hadn't had nearly enough to eat by the fact that they offer an all you can eat plate. Mind you, you probably don't need a ton of refills on that plate. They call it a feast for a reason. The plate is filled with some koftas (fried balls of something or other), lentils over rice, a basic vegetable curry of the day, some papadums (lentil crackers) for dipping, a bit of salad, and dessert. A light lemonade is also included. You can expect a reliably rounded and satisfying meal, with simple flavors (touch up with a spicy chutney if you like). I've still yet to find a really high-brow vegetarian restaurant with as diverse and exciting of a menu as I'd like, but you'll not likely find a better deal in West End than this right here.

They do tend to cram a lot of tables into the joint, but to experience the food and the 'Ben's Restaurant Experience' like it should be experienced, you need to go there on a Friday or Saturday night and stay past 9pm. They have KARAOKE people!!! It's so much fun and it makes the place come alive. From the hours of 9pm to 11:30pm on a Friday and Saturday night, you can get up there and try out your singing voice in front of the restaurant. You can pick your song and be a star, or be boo'd off stage. Hey listen, I got up there with my friend and we were terrible and people still cheered us on! I think the worse the singer you are, the more cheer you got. A verrrry good incentive for those shy ones! So yes, the food is very tasty, especially the deep fried beef strips in peking sauce... oh so yum. But visit for the karaoke... not many chinese restaurants do this... and it's worth a shot! Big smily face!
