Nowdays no more trend for japanese style shops like jogoya and sho gun, also korean maciem soul garden a bit quiet. Many hotels also not having buffet if it is low season. Last time can see almost every hotel got buffet dinner. Now no. Where do you like to go for buffet dinners?

I like hotel hightea only

I shop for cheap brown rice only.

the last time i eated buffet dinner was many2 years ago, some jap restoran in eastin hotel. nowadays dont want to waste money on buffet bekos too expensive

Used to go for Japanese buffet Mitasu but now old adi cannot eat much...

My personal favorites are all gone lioa:

1. Shogun
2. Saisaki
3. Yuan Steamboat
4. Talipon Kelana Jaya
5. Hartz Chicken Buffet BTS/Pyramid
6. Maiu Sri Petaling/Damansara Perdana
7. Mekdi Ramadan Buffet.

Used to eat at these places when I got my paycheck earlier in my career. I was poor but life was simpler back then.

nowadays buffet target market is malay consumers.

cinis buffet market are long gone.
those sunway buffet rebut jiken wings, jogoya rebut haagen daz, snow crab, porridge/cheese leleh/satay steamboat buffet and other fancy free flow salmon fish sushi buffet tak laku d.

when it comes to calculating value, the cinis will compare every detail. it is not worthy going for buffet if it's rm35-40 above, and that must feature at least 2-3 expensive stuffs like crab, big ass prawns, sashimi, haagen daaz etc.

if you have more than 4 person going for buffet, it's not worth it, as most restaurants can serve u heck of a meal for RM40x4.

Miss those old days

Wagyu More - Sunway Pyramid
Fei Fan Hotpot - SS15
Sae Ma Eul - SS15

I really like sukishi hotpot buffet though, non-halal, lesser queue and on a weekday you can just walk in Sukiya need to queue for like 30mins on a weekday

Nowadays I don't go to high end buffet anymore. Max I would do is 130/pax for weekend dinner. Which are mainly midrange hotels.

The one I particularly like in this range is Mardhiyyah Hotel in Shah Alam. Always exceeding expectation for its asking price, despite promoting Islamic theme of no babi or anything haram.
People would think Islamic hospitality service must be dull and boring. But this one is quite a surprise.

EQ sunday buffet lunch. whack unagi saja

unker dont get what so good about shogun and Saisaki?

Kamon unker buffet is for teenagers and 20s only after that it’s asking for trouble to

Everything in moderation lol

Bamboo House Korean BBQ
Sae Ma Eul BBQ
Seo Gung Korean BBQ Restaurant

yeah. motivation to go buffet change as you get older.

Buffet before 30s: Get to eat whatever to fullest until cannot breathe, for one cheap price.


Buffet after 30s: That simple feel good of getting to taste large variety of fancy foods in short time.

Tried one before but I forgot which restaurant already, still remember the free flow beef is 90% fats.

After 50s: relive 20s life b4 kicking them bucket

If want halal go for BBQ town. Every single hour also got queue for mid valley. Non halal can try wagyumore shabuyo. Shabu2 buffet less than RM 60. Those fancy hotel buffet usually for corporate

Mr Mookata @ Rawang
OK Mookata @ Kepong
Hama Japanese Dining @ Desa Park City
Vasco's Hilton KL Sentral

Mitatsu ala carte buffet yum yum

so far Sukiya and Sukishi I haven't met with any disappointment, Sukishi have unlimited pork slices, little prawns(imo not that nice), and fried teriyaki chicken wings for a few ringgit more than Sukiya's pricing.

I went to MyTown/Sunway velocity branch. Sukishi is the non-halal version of Sukiya

I like bbq plaza also.. Their bbq sauce is superb.

are the fried jiken unlimited? they always gip 1 plate per table only..

Jogoya
TAO

ehh tbh I'm also unsure Since the star of the show is the free flow beef slices, I never felt the need to get the wings actually

RtK b40, so just eat at home.... alone.

shabu-yo lunch promo (non halal). For RM29.90 you only get 2 plates of meat , but u get unlimited helpings of the other stuff for 90 mins

I am watching YouTube Las Vegas buffet. Damn those lobster /crab.

actually the jiken wings is like the only value add item lo...the rest are pretty basic unmarinated raw food. deswai a bit sien liow maciem eated bland steamboat.

There is simply too much food at buffets.
I stopped going to any buffet once I hit 40.

Even recently I went to Cameron and ate one of the steamboat dinner set, it was too much.
Set meal, not buffet.
Luckily most of the food in the set are vegetables.
For a set meal for 2 pax, they gave around 7 to 8 plates of food!!!
2 plates has meat and the rest was vegetables.

Struggling to finish really.

Ehhh must get the sukiyaki soup base, the sweet soy sauce one, then pair with the whatever seasoning you like at the sauces station, will make the meat taste like damm nice but memang the meat very bland without anything

oic normally ayem take the sabu2..

My feverit is hai di lao.
Buffet section only cover fruits, and some dessert, snacks, porridge...

Other dishes is a la carte though....

nice meh? ayem see the crowd sien liow...no booking allowed?

I think the most popular broth are kimuchi (maciem tomyam) and sukiyaki, shabu-shabu and miso soup abit too bland imo

Nice, very comfortable place....service also good... soup and dish are good. Price on high side...
Got few branches which is less ppl than the rest
One is IOI Mall Puchong
Less waiting time and less stress

shogun died already right? I liked going to the at one utama branch when it was still around

i go bamboo in mentari sunway

Last time I remember PJ Hilton Ramadahan buffet had the best bang for buck. Spread vs price among the better ones. Don't get me wrong alll cekik but PJ Hilton stood out

Last weekend went to Korean BBQ House @ Atria. Got the cheapest @ $25 per pax. Ate for lunch. Full until dinner and supper also no quota to eat liao.

THE GARDEN > WAHYU MORE

i now actually prefer sukiya and shabu-yo

did u went to the organic steamboat shop?

Buffet places only worth going when its newly opened.

As time goes on, they can't maintain the quality, so you'll see them cut down on offerings; then you know they going to gg soon.

I generally don't go to buffets because you tend to get subpar food for the price you're paying. Only worth going if you haven't eaten for 3 days and want to fill yourself up for the next week.

Many years dieded liow, it was bang for the buck and caters to oldfag tastebuds. Dunno why cannot sustain.

Pj hilton was the bomb 20 years ago. Now selection really pathetic tbh. Cant find a reason to go liow other than to entertain.

Yes it should be either new or has a consistent stream of patrons. But nowdays even the usual hotels do not offer buffet when they dont have bookings. Unlike last time it is standard offering even for walkins.

Yeah

How did you guess?

The set came with 4 to 5 plates of vegetables.

Fortunately I love vegetables.

there's only 1 place that i know in cameron that serves steamboat that prioritize veges
and that shop is famous for that
and yes, their portion is huge....when i went last time, 3 people cannot finish 2 set

Even with consistent stream of patrons, its not really worth it. The operator will definitely reduce cost over time cause its not sustainable.

The buffet business model is fundamentally flawed. You need to offer enough high value items to entice people, but also have enough interesting low value items that people will take instead. All the while managing the inventory to make sure it doesn't go to waste. Finding that balance is incredibly difficult.

They even have a vegetarian steamboat set

I actually don't mind as I sometimes take only vegetables at chap fan shops.

Last Saturday my chap fan lunch was only RM4 for 3 vege dishes

i also don't mind but their vege portion is huge

The waning of hotel buffets kinda indicate that rising food costs coupled with reduced spending power were the reasons. The golden years of buffets were the 90s when maresia under atok was really prosperous. Good old days.

What are the "other stuff"? Is it worth the RM29.90

Waning? Are you sure? I didn't notice any waning during the last Ramadhan period with all the hotel buffets full house.

ya for me worth it la

free flow
-fried chicken
-fries, takoyaki
-vege
-ice cream
-waffle
-chicken rice , jap curry
-drinks

and 2 plates of pork slice
