| - Everything tastes alright, nothing stands out at this place.
This is the newest buffet in town (2010), new concept (Foods were presented in small 'Spoons'). However, the food quality itself and customer service still have lots areas that needs to be improved.
1. Whoever directed us to cashiers needs to know when her fellow coworkers are going on lunch break. When you direct customers to a queue, you better know your cashier is not closing down the counter for her own break, or the result is the angry customers redirected line to another cashier while waiting behind the people whose originally behind you in line.
2. Waiter/Customer ratio. I feel bad for the staffs that work here. They have to carry alot of the heavy plates and I did witness some girl dropped the glass bottles (bye bye to part of her wage?). I agree with other posters that we hardly get our plates removed. It is easier to push our plates onto other people's table when they are gone than waiting for our waiter to remove them. Our waiter forgot to bring some of our drinks during the first round, and we had to ask others to refill our drink because we just don't see him very often. However, when we can grab someone to help, they were glad to help.
3. Food availability. I know this place is trying to be different. They cut lunch at 3pm. But the food seems to be disappear starting from 2:15pm. They have a set quota of food that would be offered during lunch hours. After the amount of food that's consumed., then it is gone. For example, sushi (Cut rolls, hand rolls), crab cocktails were gone around early 2pm. You just simply can't find the chef working at the sushi station no more after 2:15pm. They just remove the plate completely. The lady works at the crab stations were trying to find some crabs for me, but there's simply no more. (Yes this is a buffet but you are telling me, sorry, no more food - What a JOKE). If you guys have set quota of food available, you should be better off a la carte instead of buffet.
4. Food taste - Everything tastes very, very average, nothing Wowed me. It is one of those places that you go in, you come out, and you don't remember what is good about it. By the way, their Asian Station is bad, I highly recommend them to improve the taste of the food that they offer and they need to clean the counter more frequently. I have seem that slice of Korean BBQ beef been hanging on the counter (instead of the plate/bowl where its suppose to belong) during the duration of my visit.
5. Dessert tastes alright. Small dishes concept, their chocolate dipped strawberry are the highlight of the entire buffet. Everything else tastes pretty average at best.
Since this place is still NEW (opened less than 2 weeks). I give a 3* rating instead of the 1-2 star rating and as I would. However, until further improvements have been made on service and food, I do not recommend nor I will go back to this buffet for the price and the "Super luxury" buffet that they claimed themselve to be.
