What a rip-off! $150 for dinner, which turned out to be a cheap buffet. I've had better options in a school cafeteria. Carpets were stained. Furniture was hard wood, nothing on the fable. Pushy people piling food onto plates. The cocktail that came with dinner was cheap wine or beer. Glass to see out was dirty. Have been in other revolving tower restaurants that were classy and amazing. So sad Sydney did not even come close. read more

This is a rotating restaurant in Westfield Sydney. The cost was $80 for adults and $27 for kids. They advertise sushi but in my picture you can see there are only 2 types of cut rolls. The overall food selection is also limited. This was a buffet with cheap food located in a tower. The only benefit is the view but definitely not worth it in my opinion. On Monday and Tuesdays kids eat free but even that would not be enough to go back. read more

You pay for the view. The dinner food was mediocre at best but the desserts were down right gross. It was the most dry cheesecake I have ever had in my life. Ordering a cocktail that's not on the menu (vodka martini) is like pulling teeth. I can't imagine any locals ever going here. It seems definitely like a tour bus drop off point. The view is great though! read more

Sydney Tower Buffet - Buffets Near Me - Sydney, NSW

Very expensive place to dine with just ok food. The view is what you pay for, which was beautiful, but I didn't enjoy the food as much as I wanted to. It was nice to try the kangaroo though. The experience was nice, but you may be upset with the value of the food. read more

Great idea to eat up in the sky with a nice view. Only good things i can think about is the view and fish. For the price the food sure does need A LOT of work. ITS VERY DRY and the oysters are not cleaned well. I'm normally one to eat all I can. Here i left with plenty of room in my belly. The floor rotates so you can see the entire city. I would not recommend even as a one time thing for tourists. Go get the view from the sydney Harbour bridge instead. read more

I understood that most of these tower, revolving restaurants are there for the view and not for the food, but even knowing that, I was severely disappointed in the quality of this buffet. The food was generally dry and overcooked, the small bowl of fruit they put out had some moldy fruit that had clearly gone bad. The general decor (walls, chairs, tables) were all very worn and used (plastic chipping off). read more

Omg this was the worst Buffett I have ever been to. Usually when I go to a new city I enjoy trying the tower restaurants not only for the view but also for the enjoyable food. However the food here was truly horrible. I regret not reading the yelp reviews first. Only truly do not believe that this was worth the $75 dollars. The quality was worth like 5$. The food seemed out of a box. This is truly a tourist trap!!!! The worst But great view and service was nice too... hence I gave it an extra star read more

We went here on our first time to Australia. We expected subpar food on a buffet. But this was the worst experience we have ever had at a restaurant ever. We ordered two old fashions and it took 50 minutes to even get an answer on why they had not come out yet. When we finally got an answer, the manager told us she would offer us a complimentary tea or coffee for our wait. At that time we had very little time left with the one and a half hour maximum that we could spend there. We eventually asked for a refund and left. That was hard enough to do in itself. The service, the atmosphere, and the food was terrible. read more

Well.....sometimes I believe the Yelp reviews and sometimes I don't. I should've been more observant. The view at night is quite stunning. 360 degrees of the city of Sydney sparkling is really really cool. It's kinda hard to wrap your head around at first as well, with the revolving floor and all. We even hung out at least 30 mins after dinner just to stare out the windows of was so pretty. The food....yikes. We enjoyed the roasted potatoes, the curry, the fries, the dolmades, and the trout (what was left of it). Luckily we have buffets down to a science, only taking very small portions of each item and sharing a small taste of each item. First, they try to make it visually appealing but the swarms of Asian tourists just tear things apart, literally making a mess of everything....It looked like elementary kids shoving and pushing their way through the cafeteria. One girl took the whole bowl of oysters and dumped them on her plate, spilling about a third of them all over the place. Which was fine I guess...I tasted one earlier and it was like oyster mush. The trout fillet was just measly scraps of a skeleton with a few pieces of meat that stayed that way the entire time we were up there. Second...The food itself. It is definitely over cooked, under seasoned, and everything seemed to have absorbed the taste and smell of everything else. I had a bite of some key lime tart and at first it was ok....then a lingering after taste of fish comes on. The fish and chips were soggy. The shrimp was chewy. The mussels were like rubber and had a skunky taste. I normally love cold salads but none of the options had any definitive flavor. Even the watermelon salad tasted a little sour. The desserts were shared a bite a piece among us. But that's all we had...a tiny bite. Nothing tasted fresh or light or crispy... Highly recommended for the view...it's amazing. But I feel food guilt now for wasting a meal. read more

Sydney Tower Buffet - Buffets Near Me - Sydney, NSW

Don't waste your money or time here. The setting is very cheap and old. The buffet stations and hardware were made of very low quality material and the food looked very unappetizing. There were even fruit flies hovering over our food. If you want to impress your family or friends here, please don't try it there. The view is great but make sure you go on a sunny day. read more

Went for my sons 18th , terrible terrible food. Unfortunately it was raining so we just sat with the clouds mostly. Only 1 lift working, 40 min wait in queue to get back down. Cost $120 each x 7 of us. Don't waste your money !!!! read more

With excitement we walked through the city to get to this iconic building. Once we found our way through a maze of escalators we found the ticket booth to go up to eat at one of 2 options. An Ala-cart menu restaurant or a buffet. The ala-cart menu looked confusing and expensive and the buffet menu was long and appeared to have plenty of options. So we went with the buffet even though it was $60 each for lunch. Ouch. Here the bad service began. The booth called up to arrange for a table for us. Being the only people in line we figured there would be no wait. Nope. We were told to go around the corner and sit because it was so busy they couldn't get to us now. Eventually they called us to go up. Through the metal detectors and security we went up by ourselves. When we got to the correct floor we were greeted by an empty counter. Finally a without any greeting a grumpy man came and ordered a waitress to take us to a table. Then we saw that they weren't really busy at all. Over half the table empty. When a waitress came to ask what we wanted to drink off the menu we realized drinks were not included and were expensive. $4 for a coke. $4 for refills. $10 for water. Plus an alcohol menu. The waitress wasn't to interested in serving but did make a mild attempt every so often. Long after your drink was empty. The FOOD: hmmm. Well, it was mediocre at best. I love meat but the dishes weren't too inviting. And what I did try I found it less than average. My wife who loves desert wasn't even tempted to try the desert options. Anyway we did eat and didn't leave hungry but we'd never go back there for the food. The service was a big turn off. So the only things no they had going for them was the amazing location and views. The price was way too high for a view. But if you can exploit tourist then you can probably keep the doors open. read more

My partner and I chose Sydney tower for our Anniversary dinner . We arrived eay as we were assured we could wait at the bar before our dinner. Instead we were instructed to wait in the foyer for 50 minutes in 40° heat whilst a numerous people who had arrived a considerable time after us and were shown into the buffet. We eventually became so frustrated we demanded a refund ,it has now been nine days and NONE of the money we paid has been refunded. We have spoken to management and have been treated just as poorly. We will be telling everyone we know not to dine there . read more

In the Westfield Tower this is the higher (and cheaper) of the two restaurant offerings. Like all tourist traps he food is not the drawcard - the slowly revolving view of Sydney is a Winner. The food, not so much. Bookings are taken for 1.5 hour sittings. I was done in 20 minutes. The crowd is predominantly tourists, the staff polite but busy, and the food average at best. The Buffett offerings include prawns, beef, pork, ham, fish and chips, hot vegetables and salads, and a small desert section. It's passable but barely to be honest. Several things were excellent (beef brisket)but several were atrocities (pork belly like shoe leather). In general the place is very very very tired, and I have seen (and smelled) better toilets in backstreet pubs. Great for tourists otherwise, walk on by. read more

You are really paying for the view- which is fantastic. Expensive mediocre food. Service could use serious help. Front reception lady at the dining floor was rude when we asked her to replace our drink which was mistakenly placed at the wrong table. We only realized this after we didn't get our drinks for a long time and saw two of which we had ordered on a different table. One of the drinks had obviously been sipped out of. The sugar rim was broken with lip prints on it. When we tried to show it to her, her explanation was that there is no way someone could have sipped out of the drink since the table it was at didn't have anyone sitting at it. Well, people get up and go get their food from the buffet spread so at one time there are several tables with no one there. The buffet was nothing remarkable. I have had much better spread with higher quality appetizing ingredients for much cheaper. Drinks were not included in the meal package and were over priced when ordered separately. Desserts were dry. Ice cream is your best bet. I would recommend this place for view but you can definitely find better restaurants in Sydney to dine at that will leave you feeling satisfied and less frustrated. read more

Terrible. Do not waste your money. $75 for a buffet that's not even worth $9.95. The food was terrible. The view was terrible. The floors are dirty. The windows are dirty. You can't even see the opera house because there are buildings in the way. The cost didn't even include a beverage. Buffets in Vegas cost less have better food and include pop/beer/wine. Cold seafood, mediocre Asian dishes, nasty desserts. Just all bad. read more

This buffet is only good for the view. The food is simply horrible for the price of $75 AUD. Absolutely not worth it. Oysters were only decent entree. The view spectacular but 100% tourist trap. read more

It was terrible, food was not good, not even fresh, especially oysters, sour not from lime juice itself. And the door keeper, the lady was so damn crazy who charged $20+ more than other Australians. She definitely is a discriminator. Just a nightmare. read more

The food was horrible, not worth the money at all and although the view was cool, it was not worth what we paid. We would have had a better experience eating dinner at a nice place on the harbour and then driving up to Dover heights to view the sunset. read more

Was pretty expensive and we went for lunch. The view was nice expect for the obstructed view of the opera house. The food was subpar and the service sucked. First time visiting Australia and often found servers to be quite rude. I thought that the bread, salmon sushi roll, calamari, and the crispy pork belly were good. I've never had pork belly like that! Everything else was meh. read more

If I could give lower than one star I would, the food is a disgrace ! All the bad reviews are right, the food is shocking ! read more

First off, the food was mediocre. It wasn't the greatest, but it wasn't the worst either. The staff service, however, is absolutely terrible. I bought a voucher that was supposed to include a welcome drink along with the buffet, but no one asked me what I wanted to drink besides tap water until I mentioned it. Secondly, there is this big bowl in the table that I would assume is used to place shells. My bowl wasn't completely filled with trash yet and after I came back with another round of food, I found that the waitress had collected the big bowl along with my fork and spoon, without even replacing it with a new bowl and fork. She was just standing to the side folding napkins and I had to ask her for a new fork. I couldn't pick up a new fork myself because only the spoons were out near the food section, and the forks were behind the waitress at her desk. Does she just expect me to eat with my hands then? She probably wanted me to leave even before my time was up. Lastly, I had ten minutes left in my time slot before the hour and a half session was up. I hadn't completely finished my food yet, and I was taking a break by chatting with a friend on a phone. The waitress never asked if I was completely finished with my food and just came to collect it from me. I felt like I was getting kicked out of the restaurant before the time was up even. I was polite each time the waitress came to refill my water and I thanked her each time. But she didn't seem to acknowledge it. One word of advice: don't waste your money on this buffet restaurant. They need to get their customer service skills together first! read more

The food was sooooo horrible. Literally we all couldn't eat anything. Everything was so unappetizing and everyone had their hands in the food. I could only stomach a small bowl of white rice. Also service was terrible. And least the waiter was hot lol but rarely came around read more

Omg, crap,crap, and mega-crap! Nothing, and I mean nothing worthwhile. Just awful food! There is a bowl on the table that I realize now was not for discards but for vomiting. Who can enjoy the view when you're wondering if you're going to get sick or not? Tried to get the food taste out of my mouth by eating orange slices from the fruit selection ---past their expiration date by over a week. Save yourself the agony. We wish we had! read more

Don't even bother to come and eat at this place. All of the food is either bland or dry and over cooked. Very overpriced! Just a tourist trap. The only good thing is the view... read more

We knew the reviews going in were poor but figured it would be worth mediocre food for the view. In the end, I think it was worse than we could have imagined. Warm food was dry and rubbery. Cold food was fine but the shear number of tourists reaching their bare hands into it made it unappetizing. From the second you sat down they tried to upsell drinks and photos etc and frequently reminded you of the hour and a half time limit. View was good but actually had obstructed views of the opera house. Skip this place, walk the bridge and grab some real food. read more

The view is magnificent. Seems like every city has a tower and there's a buffet on it. Usually the food isn't overly special. The staff took many pictures of us and charged for a fortune. The experience was lovely and would recommend to tourists. read more

Decent for a buffet but super pricey for quality. However, we realized we were paying for the ambiance. We would have bought the pictures but they took them before my husband sat down which irked him and then the guy was very pushy and rude when we choose not to get them. The view was great. read more

Shocking! Booking was for 8PM , so we arrive at 7:50, bookin, told to wait to the side with others No, Problems so far. People before go in, makes sense. People after us go in, what? The people arrive after the session has started, straight up they go, this isn't right! Go up and ask what is going on, it won't be long I'm told. About 8:25 we get to the lift. Silly us, first the lift, last out, another 5 minutes at the top. It's our turn to be taken to a table, but first I ask what the problem is, only sorry and no reason given, but the waitress is told get a nice table at window. We got what looks to be a nice table, but it wasn't vacant! The people that belonged to the table weren't happy! Then we get asked who sat us, well who knows? Then asked again, and again and did someone sit us down? Great start hey! Didn't get better. Slow drinks, then no follow up on drinks. Food is OK, but not good, what you expect from a low to mediocre buffet restaurant at ground level. The views are great! You'd be better spending you money on the other ways of getting the view, maybe even the skywalk and a meal from MacDonalds! read more

Great view but the food was not good at all. They cram people in 90 min increments and offer literally low grade cafeteria quality buffet. The waitresses were really nice and tried to be accommodating, but for the price $$$$ no way I would recommend. read more

This buffet is pretty good. The food is nice but not as good as the Star. The view is amazing though and it's so cool that it rotates.

The food at the Sydney tower buffet was average at best and way over priced. Staff were friendly and the view was amazing but the food leaves a lot to be desired and half the time refilling of trays didn't happen quick enough so I was left to scrape the bottom of the tray. I wouldn't recommend this buffet even if the view was amazing. read more
