Might just be THE BEST BUFFET in town.

MAKE RESERVATIONS WELL IN ADVANCE (5-6 days before) if you want to enjoy the AWESOME buffet at "Cafe TOO" - OTHERWISE ENJOY BEING ON WAITING LIST 😜

On two separate occasions in the past, I called 2-3 days in advance and still ended up on waiting list....and never made it to the confirmed list. That's how good this place is 👍🏻👍🏻

The staff are always nice and they call me a day before to confirm/remind about the reservation. I usually ask them to allot me a table near the window and they always try to make it happen, even though it's fully booked.

I absolutely LOVE THE PORK BELLY there (although I've been told that it is even better at some LOCAL/SMALL RESTAURANTS which I'm sure it is). Nevertheless, the one at Cafe TOO always makes me HAPPY AND SATISFIED!!
But the menu keeps changing so it may not be there every time.

The SUSHI and the COLD SEAFOOD are always so fresh that it feels like they just brought the stuff straight from the boats!! 😍👍🏻
I NEVER MISS these 2 items when I go to Cafe TOO.

Next in line for me was the DIM SUM and SPARE PORK RIBS which never disappoint me at this place (more variety would be welcome though).

Just to the left of the dim sum/spare rib station are the main dishes, which are always different from the ones during my previous visit so it's nice that they keep refreshing the menu of that section- some of the items I tried this time were FRIED RICE WITH SHRIMP and BEEF👍🏻, BRAISED PORK MEATBALL👍🏻, FISH SLICES IN BROTH and RED CHILLIES (this one very good!) 😍👍🏻and a SLICE OF ROAST BEEF WITH BABY TATERS.

Also liked the PAN FRIED SALMON, the RAVIOLI and ABSOLUTELY LOVED THE GRILLED LAMB RACK (this one is a MUST HAVE item)⭐️⭐️

There is also the JAPANESE FRIED DUMPLING station towards the other end of the hall and IT IS WORTH WALKING THAT FAR 😜

Next to the Japanese dumpling station is a small INDIAN STATION which may not stand up to the specialized Indian restaurants in Tsim Sha Tsui and elsewhere.... But it's certainly worth trying and it WILL NOT DISAPPOINT.

One might think that after eating all this GRUB,it's impossible to have any room for dessert, BUT I PROVED THAT THEORY WRONG :excited:and dug into some dessert too ! :cry:
They have a large selection of dessert items.... SADLY I COULD NOT TRY THEM ALL AS I WAS MORE THAN FULL😩😩

As usual, there will be a whole new set of items the next time I go there.... CAN'T WAIT!!😁😁

One of the best buffets in town
Great variety of food and options and I've been there quite a few times and still find new things to try

Clean and nice place for buffet lunch. I like especially for not just all the cold cut which a high end hotel should have but also the host dishes which really taste good as local delicacies.
