This was my first time visiting for the lunch buffet since the restaurant renovation, and it was for a friend's birthday. The food quality was very high, with oysters, king crab legs, sashimi, chilled shrimp, and chilled conch available. While the variety wasn't extensive, freshness was paramount. It was a shame that on a Saturday, the restaurant was only about half full; I hope business improves in the future. The biggest surprise was the bar staff, who made specialty drinks for guests on the spot. Besides regular coffee or tea, she could also prepare iced lattes (no ice, no sugar) or coffee tonics. My friends and I were all very happy, eating and chatting slowly from 12 PM to 2:30 PM. It was a great weekend activity, and I highly recommend everyone try it!

This time, we booked the dinner buffet for a birthday celebration. The last time I visited was three years ago for the lunch buffet. While the variety of food isn't extensive, the quality is excellent. I'm grateful to the restaurant for arranging a window seat for us this time; the view was lovely. The evening atmosphere is much better than during the day. There weren't too many diners, and everyone was very orderly when getting food, allowing us to enjoy our meal in a quiet and comfortable environment. 👍🏻 A special mention goes to the attentive staff who constantly checked if any plates needed to be cleared. They even prepared a small cake and took photos of us with the night view from the window sill. 🙂 The theme of this buffet was Japanese cuisine, featuring dishes like sukiyaki and caviar wagyu sushi, which suited my current preference for lighter meals. Additionally, the ginseng chicken soup had a strong ginseng flavor without being too overpowering; I had three extra servings! The desserts were decent, and there was a good selection of homemade gelato flavors. One highlight was the unique baked goods; I even made my own mini pineapple bun. 🤭

An absolutely perfect buffet lunch experience! I highly recommend The Astor at Eaton HK ✨ I specifically came to The Astor for their buffet lunch, and the overall experience can only be described as "extremely satisfying." From the location and service to the food quality, everything completely exceeded my expectations! Excellent and Convenient Location 📍 The restaurant is located in Eaton HK, which is very convenient. It's just a short walk from the bus stop or MTR station, making it incredibly accessible. The restaurant's overall design is very distinctive, blending a nostalgic, retro cinematic feel with modern, stylish comfort. The moment you step inside, you feel relaxed and happy. Impeccable Staff Service 💯 I especially want to commend the service attitude of all the front-line staff that day! From the hosts seating guests, to the plate clearers, and the chefs at each food station, everyone was smiling, polite, and attentive. Plates were cleared very quickly and efficiently, never allowing empty dishes to pile up on the table. They were constantly attentive to guests' needs, making everyone feel truly welcome and well-cared for. Exceptionally High-Quality Seafood & Food 🦀 What impressed me most was the abundance and quality of the food! The seafood was incredibly fresh, and cold dishes like oysters and bread crabs were replenished extremely quickly; I never saw an empty platter. The hot food selection was diverse, and whether it was roasted beef, roasted lamb leg, flavorful cooked dishes, or delicate dim sum, the seasoning was perfect. You could really feel the dedication of the culinary team. The dessert section was the perfect ending, with a wide selection of ice cream and various exquisite mini cakes, all of which were on par with high-end dessert shops. In summary: The Astor demonstrates exceptionally high standards in terms of ambiance, service, and food, offering excellent value for money. This is definitely a dining experience that makes you want to return again. I highly recommend it to all friends who appreciate great food and excellent service!

Στις 29 Μαΐου, επισκεφθήκαμε το Harbour Grand Kowloon στο Whampoa για ένα πλούσιο μεσημεριανό μπουφέ (12:00-14:30). Η τιμή ήταν λογική και η αξία εξαιρετική. Υπήρχε μεγάλη ποικιλία φαγητών, με εγγυημένη ποιότητα και γεύση. Το προσωπικό του ξενοδοχείου ήταν εξυπηρετικό και ευγενικό. Έχουμε επισκεφθεί το ξενοδοχείο πολλές φορές και δεν είχαμε ποτέ κανένα παράπονο. Το τραπέζι μας ήταν κοντά στο φαγητό, όπως ζητήθηκε για τον έναν ηλικιωμένο της παρέας, κάτι που διευκόλυνε την πρόσβαση στα πιάτα. Το περιβάλλον ήταν ευχάριστο, με μεγάλα παράθυρα που επέτρεπαν άφθονο φυσικό φως, αν και ο κλιματισμός ήταν λίγο ανεπαρκής, αλλά αυτό δεν ήταν μεγάλο πρόβλημα. Όσον αφορά το φαγητό, υπήρχε ψητό μοσχάρι, το οποίο είναι το αγαπημένο μου, σασίμι σολομού, χταπόδι, φρέσκα χτένια και φρέσκες κόκκινες γαρίδες – όλα φρέσκα και νόστιμα. Τα γλυκά και τα κέικ ήταν επίσης ικανοποιητικά. Υπήρχε μια μικρή έλλειψη μαχαιροπίρουνων, αλλά αναπληρώθηκαν γρήγορα, ίσως επειδή η κουζίνα δεν προλάβαινε να τα πλύνει και να τα αντικαταστήσει. Συνολικά, η βαθμολογία μου είναι πέντε αστέρια – απόλυτα ικανοποιητικό.

The restaurant was at full capacity, and the food selection was good. Staff were quick to clear dishes, and the chefs were enthusiastic and polite. Due to the limited space, although they managed to fit in a lot of food options, the tables were a bit small and close together. In the middle of the dining area, there was a birthday cake celebration for guests to take photos, and someone played the guitar and sang birthday songs to add to the atmosphere. After the photos, a bell rang, and everyone could line up to get a mixed fruit Napoleon birthday cake, which tasted quite good. The best dishes that evening were the grilled ox tongue skewers and the Thai cucumber and abalone dish, which each person received a plate of. Most of the time, the Royal Garden buffet is in an enclosed space with few window seats. I was so happy to get a window seat tonight, allowing me to watch the Victoria Harbour laser show at 8 PM.

Αφού είδα την παρουσίαση από έναν YouTuber, ήθελα πολύ να πάω στο Yamm για δείπνο σε μπουφέ. Το Klook είχε έκπτωση, οπότε έκανα αμέσως κράτηση. Όλα τα φαγητά ήταν υπέροχα. Το αβαλόνι και το ψάρι ήταν τρυφερά και γευστικά. Υπήρχαν χτένια, κάτι που σπάνια βρίσκεις σε σασίμι. Υπήρχε επίσης μεγάλη ποικιλία από κρύα πιάτα, όπως αστακός, καβούρι ψωμιού, πόδια καβουριού, ξυράφι, δαγκάνες αστακού, μύδια, πράσινα μύδια, σαλιγκάρια κ.λπ. Το ρύζι με μοσχάρι Wagyu σε πήλινο δοχείο, το sukiyaki Wagyu και το ψητό μοσχάρι ήταν όλα νόστιμα. Το χοιρινό char siu ήταν άπαχο και ζουμερό, και η πάπια Πεκίνου ήταν επίσης νόστιμη. Υπήρχαν σουβλάκια με γαρίδες, τεμπούρα και φουά γκρα τοστ. Η ποικιλία των επιδορπίων ήταν μεγάλη, και μπορείτε να προσθέσετε κόκκινα φασόλια στο τόφου. Φαινόταν ωραίο και είχε υπέροχη γεύση. Υπήρχε μεγάλη ποικιλία από ζεστά και κρύα ροφήματα, συμπεριλαμβανομένων χυμών, παγωμένου και ζεστού τσαγιού λεμονιού που μπορείτε να φτιάξετε μόνοι σας, καφέ, και μια καφετιέρα για διάφορα είδη καφέ. Το παγωτό ήταν σε κύπελλα Häagen-Dazs. Ήθελα να δοκιμάσω πολλά φαγητά ξανά, αλλά το στομάχι μου ήταν γεμάτο. Έχω καιρό να φάω τόσο καλό μπουφέ. Το προσωπικό του εστιατορίου ήταν επαρκές, τα πιάτα μαζεύονταν γρήγορα, και κάθε πάγκος φαγητού είχε υπεύθυνο προσωπικό, οπότε κανείς δεν εξυπηρετούσε πολλούς πάγκους. Το φαγητό αναπληρωνόταν γρήγορα, οπότε δεν υπήρχε φόβος να τελειώσει κάτι αν αργούσες. Μπορούσες να φας με την ησυχία σου. Άριστα!

The buffet restaurant offers beautiful sea views and comfortable seating, with a reasonable variety of food. However, the hot soup dishes were disappointingly cold, not hot. The male staff member who cleared plates and served ice cream and desserts had an excellent attitude. A major drawback, though, was that precisely at 9:30 PM, when the buffet was scheduled to end, most of the chefs and staff collectively made loud, clanging metal kitchenware and cutlery noises that everyone in the restaurant could hear! This method of clearing metal utensils and rapidly removing food made it seem as if guests were not allowed to stay even one second longer! It was quite startling and embarrassing for customers, almost as if they were being rushed out. All the guests, including a foreign family of three who had arrived late and only had an hour to dine, quickly got up and left the restaurant with me and other patrons. In all my years of frequently enjoying buffets at various hotels in Hong Kong, I have never encountered a hotel restaurant where, precisely at closing time, most of the chefs would display displeasure and deliberately create loud metallic noises, subtly hinting for guests to leave quickly. This was a rare and unsettling experience! Adding to this unpleasant experience, there was a huge, terrifying painting at the restaurant entrance when I left. The painting had a dark, somber tone, depicting only two expressionless men and a child staring directly at you, with terrifying, bottomless black eyes and no whites. It was incredibly eerie and disturbing! No wonder I had previously seen comments from guests saying their seats were in front of this giant painting. I couldn't understand why such a terrifying and unsettling painting of men and a child would be displayed at the entrance of a five-star hotel's high-end restaurant. Seeing this horrifying painting as I left only deepened the unpleasantness of this buffet experience!

We celebrated my husband's birthday, and the food quality was excellent with a good variety. The grilled scallops were served in small batches, but luckily there weren't many people in line, so we managed to get some twice. There was also a wide selection of desserts. While there wasn't unlimited soda, there were many other drink options, including iced tea, iced coffee, and even a DIY marshmallow station. We received a complimentary birthday cake with a personalized plate, which my husband really enjoyed. The waitstaff provided high-quality service as well. We will definitely come again.

Είχα φάει σε αυτόν τον μπουφέ παλαιότερα και είχα μείνει με καλές εντυπώσεις. Αυτή τη φορά, επισκεφτήκαμε ξανά με φίλους για μια γρήγορη επίσκεψη και πάλι με εξέπληξε ευχάριστα. Αυτό που με εντυπωσίασε περισσότερο ήταν η μπριζόλα sirloin που κόβεται επί τόπου. Είχε πλούσια γεύση κρέατος, ήταν ψημένη ακριβώς όπως έπρεπε και με τη σάλτσα ψητού ήταν απόλυτα ικανοποιητική. Η ενότητα των θαλασσινών ήταν επίσης εξαιρετική, με καβούρια χιονιού, παγωμένες γαρίδες και μύδια, όλα φρέσκα και γλυκά. Η αναπλήρωση ήταν γρήγορη, οπότε δεν υπήρχε καμία ανησυχία. Τα σούσι ήταν επίσης υψηλής ποιότητας, με φρέσκο ψάρι και σωστά καρυκευμένο ρύζι, δεν μπορούσα να σταματήσω να τρώω. Φυσικά, η συνεργασία με την An Kee αυτή την περίοδο προσέφερε αμπαλόνι, κάτι που ήταν μια επιπλέον έκπληξη. Αλλά εν τέλει, η βασική προσφορά αυτού του μπουφέ είναι ήδη αρκετά δυνατή – η μπριζόλα sirloin, τα θαλασσινά και τα σούσι είναι όλα εξαιρετικά, ενώ τα επιδόρπια και τα ζεστά πιάτα δεν είναι καθόλου αμελητέα. Αυτή η γρήγορη επίσκεψη κράτησε μόνο δύο ώρες και ήμουν ήδη χορτάτος, αλλά σίγουρα άξιζε τα χρήματα. Έχω ήδη κανονίσει με τους φίλους μου να ξαναπάμε σύντομα!
