You get 360 views of the city and the restaurant actually rotates! It's trippy at first, and I got lost multiple times trying to go back and forth from the buffet, but I could use the extra steps considering how much I ate. The food selection was massive, so there's no way I could write them all but here were some of my notes and things I'd get again: - Made to order grilled beef: really good, we asked for it rare since it's thin - Lobster with cheese was good: They had cold lobster and crab too but it wasn't super fresh to us and was a little watery. - Handmade dim sum: get the XLB and har gow - Roasted meats: Goose, roasted pig. The skin on the roasted pig was to die for. Perfectly thin and crispy - Prime rib: Good but a little over cooked for my liking - Sashimi and sushi: Really good quality - Fried ice cream: Very unique... kind of like the rolled ice cream. - Mango pudding: yum! - Butterfly cookies: I think they won some awards for these and it shows! We had a great time and enjoyed our experience here. They had a special baked Alaska show at 8pm, that wasn't super cool to be honest. I will say it is pretty pricey, but if you eat a lot of seafood, you will get your moneys worth.

Most of the time I'd skip the sashimi, but they've got clams and amaebi, yum yum! Also, service was excellent. Attentive even though they're slammed. The waitress never stopped clearing out empty plates throughout our meal.

They kicked off the holiday buffet early this year (in November), and the vibes are really cool, lots of neon lights and beautiful Christmas decor right at the entrance. The food quality is unbelievable. We actually had a hard time deciding what to grab first! * Seafood: The selection is luxurious. They have an expensive cold seafood tower, fresh lobster, sashimi, sea cucumbers, shrimp, and fish. * Meat Station: The variety is unimaginable. They have everything from Spanish hams and roasted beef to Japanese BBQ meats and Tandoori chicken. * Noodles: Don't skip the noodle station; the Hong Kong noodles and Singapore Laksa were great. The dessert station is so expansive I can't even remember all the selections, but I stuck to the Chinese desserts and loved the egg tarts and the grass jelly with red bean. Service was super attentive the whole night. Pro-tip: We bought our buffet tickets on the KKday app and got a 15% discount. Definitely check there before you book!

Great Buffet for Families and Groups! It's World Cup Season,…read moreand the Hotel had set up the restaurant with big TV screens so that patrons can watch the games and enjoy a very scrumptious seafood buffet! This is my first try of this famous Seafood Themed Buffet, they serve seasonal seafood and other delicacies. I particularly like how they serve small portions of each items so as to ensure freshness and proper serving temperature. Snow crab legs are served chilled; not salty like some other places, and it's continuously refilled right up to closing time! Highlight are the freshly shucked Oysters; tonight's choices are Coffin Bay & a New Zealand Variety, the Coffin Bay is slightly sweeter and lighter in texture, yet the New Zealand is more creamy and richer, both extremely fresh as they are shucked to order. Other mentionable items are the Grilling station with Sirloin, the cut is slightly thin but that makes more sense as you don't want to be filled up by just one item! Meat is extremely tender and juicy and was cooked to order! Surprise Items: Hot Pot Crab Rice, Baby Abalone, and Ma La Mussels! At HK$438.00 (Monday to Thursday) HK$458.00 (Friday to Sunday and holidays)I find this to be very very reasonable, Fruit Juices, Coffee and Tea are all inclusive in the price, plus valet parking is available. Of course there is a 10% service charge (well worth it, staffs are friendly and helpful, continues clearing your plates automatically!) Also, enquirer about Credit Cards Special Discounts!

So many times had I walked right past it when going to HMV, not knowing that Cafe One was actually part of the Park Lane Hotel! I've only been here once for a friend's birthday dinner, and it was a more than satisfying buffet. The selection of food was great - to start with, I made multiple trips to the salad bar and had loads of salmon - both the smoked salmon and the sashimi. The salmon sashimi was really fresh and I probably ate more than ten pieces! There was pan-fried goose liver as well, which was absolutely divine - it was just melt-in-your-mouth goodness. There was also this baked potato with a layer of melted cheese as well, which was really good too but would've been better if it was hot instead of just warm. I've never really been the kind of person to eat a lot of the mains at a buffet, but this was an exception - the roast beef was really, really good. It was nice and tender and the gravy that came it just brought out its flavor even more! There was a pasta bar as well, where I opted for farfalle in cream sauce with mushroom and bacon. The portion for this was quite small so I actually went back for seconds. They had a pretty good variety for dessert too. There was Haagen Dazs, which frankly speaking is already enough to satisfy me! The chocolate cake was a little dry, but the coffee pudding was great. There was a chocolate fountain too, but unfortunately they had run out of marshmallows and strawberries (it was well past eleven by then) so I could only have it with melon. I would definitely recommend Cafe One for a decent hotel buffet. The variety of food was great and I wasn't disappointed by anything really, besides that they never refilled the marshmallows and the strawberries for the fountain. Service was good too and my plate was always gone by the time I returned with a new plate of food.

For a hotel lunch buffet in the Wan Chai area, Le Café has it in spades. The selection was…read moreinternational, always comes piping hot and refilled diligently, not to mention the awesome mini pancake machine that has everyone drooling. Located inside the 4-star 22-year-old Novotel Century along Jaffe Road, you'll have to climb a flight of semi-spiral stairs to get to the restaurant on the first floor. Immediately, you'll notice the brown zig-zag design pattern of the restaurant and the buffet table to your left. Larger tables are placed further into the restaurant while those nearest the buffet table are for groups of 6 or less. If you book online for lunch, there's a 15 percent discount which makes it all sweeter. For healthy eaters, there's a full salad bar chock-full of different types of greens (think Romaine lettuce) and a raw area for sushi and mollusk eaters. The adjacent table has cooked food - I avoid eating rice during buffets because I can eat rice anywhere. I'm here for the good stuff - curry croquettes, lamb chops, and a plethora of meat-and-veg and baked fish dishes. There's also dinky "homemade" pizza slices by the other counter but I would rather avoid that because hey, you can eat better pizza elsewhere. On to the pancake-making machine, where a lot of people line up to get six or more pancakes. You press how many you want and the machine makes it. Simple as that. I find it a bit slow though, probably why the line is so long. To the side, there are a couple of different syrups but no maple. Bummer. Some people move on to the ice cream section where they mix the two together. They have textbook flavors - vanilla, chocolate, strawberry - but is satisfying nonetheless. Tip: eat the food that you usually can't eat elsewhere or can't prepare at home due to time/skill constraints. In my opinion, this is the best bang for your buck (and stomach).

From a food front, the spread is luxurious as it is enormous. The variety is a bit dizzying and completely overwhelming for the average hungrier than life patron. At $500-900HKD, it's almost hard to see where the value lies. Is it the ambiance (which is breathtaking), the service (which is superb), or the quality of the food (which is good for a buffet)? I'd have to say it's a little bit of everything. If all you can eat in an high end setting sounds appealing to you, then this is one of the better hotel buffets in Hong Kong. The seafood selection is the place where most folks tend to get the most bang for their buck. From mussels, clams, prawns, and limited oysters, there is also snow crab legs and lobster claws. Occasionally there are whole crabs and lobsters, which usually taste like they've been frozen. The sushi is an easy skip, due to the terrible presentation and slim cuts, but the sashimi, particularly the salmon, is quite good. There is also a decent variety of smoked salmon, which seems to be one of the most popular items in any HK buffet. The Italiano section features various breads, cold cuts, and cheeses. There is a pasta station, but it's closer to the middle where the hot foods are prepared. The dried fruits selection is nicely paired with the various cheeses ranging from gruyere to bleu. This area is not particularly impressive on its own, but decent for variety's sake. Hodgepodge is the best way I can describe the hot foods area. Random foods from a featured cuisine of the month (in my case, it was Korean), along with Dim Sum during lunch time, and various cuisines that span from Indian to Continental. There is also a carving station with trio of meats (ham, lamb, beef) as well as a "you make it" wonton noodle station. Big ups to the truffled potato mash, that was probably my favorite savory side dish there. Desserts are usually my least favorite portion of any buffet, but they do a good job showcasing some serious variety here. There are pastries, fresh fruits, candied pieces, a macaron tower, and even a fondue fountain. That's not to say that all sweet tooths will be conquered, this is Asia after all. Having been to a fair number of hotel buffets in Tsim Sha Tsui, I can safely attest that Harbourside is indeed among the better ones. For the variety alone, it's a glutton's paradise but the view is virtually unbeatable. I'm already looking forward to my next visit.

We made reservations a few weeks in advance because they book up quickly. The Sunday brunch that is offered is about $808HKD plus 10%. There is an option for free flow Champagne (Perrier Jouet) for about $858HKD plus 10%. Having been here on numerous occasions for my share of boozy brunches, I feel the quality of the food has gone down in the recent year. A lot of people love having the lobsters and the cold seafood bar. The bar in my most recent visit seems a bit messy and not as much variety of the types of seafood begin offered. The staff here are always very pleasant. There are servers walking around with bottles and bottles of champagne ready to top you up before you're on empty. They keep the bubbles coming so you don't even think about eating the food? That seems to be a tactic that worked on me. I didn't notice the downfall of the food until my buzz wore off. The brunch is one of the longer ones compared to other places. You can be seated starting 11:30 and the last drop of bubbly would be poured into your glass at 3:00. The cost of the buffet also covers you a drink at the end of your meal should you want a latte or tea to finish you off.

In addition to having a strong local following, it is also conveniently located near the F1 exit on the MTR in Causeway Bay. I am 100% in favor of any major city offering a late night Shanghainese option, let alone one that is open at all hours. While the awning looks like it would be an entrance to a proper restaurant, this is like any typical noodle shop in HK: small, cramped, and a liability for 3 or more people at a time. I love that the staff is constantly doing food prep which makes sense if they're feeding people non-stop at all hours. The smell of the cooking makes me appreciate the family business feel of the place. Overall, I like the food. It reminds me a lot of the NYC Chinatown Shanghainese scene, which is also good, but sometimes tastes like Shanghainese food if it were cooked by Canto folks. This is really not that different since it doesn't really remind me of the flavors that one would get in Shanghai (#2). That doesn't make the food worse, but it takes a slight ding on the authenticity bit. I still am enamored with the concept of this place. They offer a lot of my go-to items: salty / sweet soymilk (咸和甜豆漿), stuffed rice sticky rolls (粢飯), lion's head meatball (獅子頭), vegetable rice (菜飯), dan dan noodles (擔擔麵) and dumpling classics like soup dumplings (小籠包) and shengjian pan fried buns (生煎包). The former are frequent items for practically diners here (especially the salty soymilk with fried bread sticks), but the latter two are a tough sell for me. It's not that I don't love the meat or broth in the XLB or SJB, but that it's just a little too doughy for my tastes. I was pleasantly surprised with their mackeral noodle soup (醺魚上海麵), which was hearty and simple. I think the service pulls no punches. They're not the warmest folks, but hardly anyone is here for the service. One can only rock Canto fare for so long, so having a Shanghainese inspired spot that is open all day and night is a concept I'm happy to support. ____________ (#1) At least in Causeway Bay.
