    Great , helpful staff and absolutely excellent food. Great choices of dessert , meat , salad and high quality seafood including abalone , sea cucumber , lobster , crab , prawns etc. Prices are a bit high but you definitely get what you pay for. The restaurant has a nice , cozy decor but it is a bit crowded at peak times as it is a bit small compared to big restaurants like Ritz Carlton , Hilton etc. The hotel is also nice and rooms are comfortable and tidy. Definitely recommended for special occasions or birthdays.

    Located at JW Marriott, a more casual buffet. Lots of options to choose from. Salad bar, charcuterie board, desserts, fruits, and noodle bar. Seafood section consisted of crabs, lobsters and shrimp. Hot section consisted of lamb rack, sausages, abalone, fish maw, scallops, chicken rice, and pasta. The sashimi didn't look very appetizing. One of the salmon didn't taste fresh at all. A welcome drink (Pepsi, sprite or beer) was included. Tea or coffee was also provided at the end. Visiting once is good enough. There are better buffet places.

    Great quality fresh seafood selection together with steak and other Chinese cuisine are the reasons to be the most popular place for buffet dinner. Chef uses the great and fresh ingredients which I don’t see in others. Although the seating arrangement is closely arranged , it is generally acceptable to me. I strongly recommend you go.

    We had buffet breakfast during our stay at the hotel. We enjoyed the food very much. The environment was cozy and not noisy at all. They have great food selection from western food to Chinese food.

    (Translated by Google) The evening buffet is about $670 per person. It is actually very affordable and the food is not wrong. For example, the fish maw and sea cucumber are very good. Hong Kong people must go to the place (Original) 晚上自助餐,每位$670左右,其實非常平宜,而且食才亦唔錯,例如花膠,海參都很好,香港人必去地方

    One of the best lunch buffets in Hong Kong and a must-try! At a little over USD50, you can taste exquisite items such as Peking Duck, fish maw, lobster, fresh sashimi, savory soup, and many others!

    ***Mid-sized buffet spread;Top Taste and Service*** I’d say JW Cafe is Mid-sized in terms of number of dishes/Variety (if you compare it to a giant such as Cafe TOO @ Shangri-La-La)..... but JW is definitely Top-class in terms of Quality, Taste and Service.👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 The lunch buffet had excellent quality seafood😋 and the overall focus leans towards Chinese dishes.... which is great👍🏻. Of course one would still find some good chicken wings, pastas, spring rolls and roast meats in that buffet. The sweet and sour pork was excellent and so was the noodles that it came with. The mussels were definitely worth multiple visits.👍🏻 We got the chance to enjoy the buffet as well as the a-la-carte menu since one of our party was fashionably late😜.... in fact so late that the buffet closed at 14:30, so one of us had to order from the menu. Among the a-la-carte menu, the Jumbo Asparagus (appetizer), and the King Salmon (mains) were very good.🌟 For the iced tea, we requested to replace the lemon slices with orange slices 😮... as I recalled having it somewhere before and I remember liking it. The staff did it with no problem. While I was enjoying the buffet, it was around 14:20.... so just 10 more minutes. And they checked with me a couple of times if I wanted anything else, and they actually prepared the plates and brought to me, given the urgency.... I LOVE THAT😍

    Went for the lunch buffet since dinner period was closed due to covid19. The food was great. Highly recommend the crab, chicken and shrimps. There were no lobster and abalone in the lunch sitting. But what’s served that day during the buffet was really high in quality. The one only section that was disappointing is the desserts. It could be made to be more delicate as a 5 star hotel. Service was good, friendly staff, good ambience.

    Buffet's food choice is basic but with quality, good for the price. Famous for its fish maw dishes, big slices. Restaurant a bit crowded and noisy. We went there during lunch hour, could be a reason. Staff are polite and attentive. Love them! Easy to walk up there from MTR. Don't bother to drive or taxi during peak hours, big jam outside.

    JW cafe must be the best buffet restaurant in the town. You can enjoy various international and local cuisines with high quality and good taste. What impressed me most are the braised fish maw with supreme sauce and crab claws, seafood lovers must go back for seconds.

    (Translated by Google) JW Café can be said to be a well-known buffet choice. To celebrate Father's Day earlier, I decided to go for a meal as a family. In our place, the hotel staff will be responsible for parking the car, and the restaurant requires diners to wear masks when going out to grab food, and the safety awareness is quite high. Speaking of food, seafood, there are lobsters, breaded crabs, shrimps, mussels, conch, etc. The meat quality is also savory, but the speed of Refill food is slow. Cold Cut has Parma Ham, Spicy Sausage, Italian Ham, Smoked Salmon, Smoked Salmon and so on. On the contrary, there are many hot food choices. The most popular among them must be braised fish maw and garlic steamed shrimp. No one can cook 2-3 pieces at a time, and the refill speed is also fast. The stewed flower maw is cooked well, and there is a bite at the same time; the garlic steamed shrimp has a heavy taste and the meat is crispy. There are also sliced ​​duck, barbecued pork, stir-fried flower sticks, stir-fried string beans, sour pork and so on. Desserts are rich in selection, and the waiter will help cut, such as green tea cake, Japanese Cheesecake, Western Cheesecake, Chocolate Mousse Cake, Fresh Cream Cake, etc. Pieces of cakes are Durian Cake, Crème Brulee, Tiramisu, Green Tea Cake, Mango Pudding, Banana Walnut Cake, and Mizu (similar to Shui Xuan Cake). The overall taste is not excellent. The Fruit Bar has watermelon, orange, pineapple, dragon fruit, and grapes. (Original) JW 咖啡室可以講係頗有名氣的自助餐之選,早前慶祝父親節,決定一家人去食餐好既。我地楂車黎,酒店職員會負責幫手泊車,而且餐廳規定食客出去攞食物食必須佩戴口罩,安全意識頗高。 講返食物,海鮮方面,有龍蝦、麵包蟹、蝦、青口、海螺等等,肉質同鮮味都還可以,不過Refill食物速度有d慢。 Cold Cut有Parma Ham、辣肉腸、意大利火腿、煙三文魚、刁草煙三文魚等等。 反而熱食選擇幾多,當中最受歡迎既一定係燴花膠同蒜蓉蒸蝦,唔少人每次攞2-3件,Refill速度亦都幾快。燴花膠煮得好淋,同時有咬口;蒜蓉蒸蝦係有d重口味,肉質爽彈。 另外有片皮鴨、叉燒、炒花枝、炒四季豆、咕嚕肉等等。 甜品選擇亦好豐富,服務員會幫手Cut,有綠茶蛋糕、日本Cheesecake、西式Cheesecake、Chocolate Mousse Cake、Fresh Cream Cake等。 件裝蛋糕分別有榴蓮蛋糕、Crème Brulee、Tiramisu、Green Tea Cake、Mango Pudding、Banana Walnut Cake,以及Mizu (類似水玄餅),整體味道唔算出色。 生果Bar有西瓜、橙、菠蘿、火龍果、提子。

    Dined on the late night a la carte menu after arriving from a long flight. Good selection of western and Chinese options. Decided on the Rueben sandwich. Bread was heavily buttered with sauce on the side. More heavy than I would have liked. Service was courteous and friendly. Beer choices were adequate but strangely, the draft was served in a regular glass. Still delicious though.

    5 Stars Hotel Buffet, food selection is not the most I have seen and famous for Haliotis (鮑魚) Dinner Buffet under current circumstances (1.5m table distance) is roomy. Face mask required when getting food in the public area that would be a new trend and something to get used to in the future. Would say average rate given the consider average food selection and area

  • 5/5 Zong H. 11 months ago on Google • 114 reviews
    Breakfast buffet is around 400, a good value considering it also includes all the coffee you can drink! I made the perfect omelette using the salad bar as the base, an omelette from the short order cook, and lox, onions and capers from the bagel counter!

  • 5/5 jokh1976 2 months ago on Google • 96 reviews New
    The absolute highlight of my hk trip. I was comparing this with tiffin at the grand Hyatt. I went to tiffin at first but was underwhelmed by the reception, people and the selection. I walked a km to Marriott. Expensive but well worth it. I don’t usually don’t go on buffets as I like keeping myself fit, but this is one you definitely don’t want to miss. #thankmelater

    (Translated by Google) Known in the flower gum row, but only eat a piece. The buffet area is very fine. After the discount, it is $ 700 per person, which is really good for me. Unless you continue to eat seafood, flower gum, abalone, sea cucumber. (Original) 出名在花膠排,但只食了一塊。自助餐區好細,折扣後都$700一個人,就真係吾係好抵。除非不斷食海鮮、花膠、鮑魚、海參。

    Apart from The Lounge at JW’s I have always wanted to try JW Café. JW Café is slightly cheaper than The Lounge, however the range at JW Café is more Chinese. The environment is noisier than The Lounge, which is expected, because there are more locals there for Chinese cuisine. The carvery had chicken, which was good for people who do not eat beef. The chicken tasted like Tandoori chicken and there were about eight different sauces. The green one (mustard with tarragon) was the best. The abalone and fish maw tasted how it should, but theses days they can be bought cheaply at the supermarket, but it is a matter of cooking it. Refills of food and drink were faster here than The Lounge, however the choice of drinks that were included were not as good as The Lounge. It would be cool if they had a super expensive buffet which has all the highlights of JW such as caviar, lobster, abalone and fishmaw. Overall, I prefer The Lounge because the selection here is too local for my local.

    (Translated by Google) There is a 30% discount on the Lunch buffet, and the food quality is 30% off. I don’t think I can imagine it, there are not many varieties. The seafood is sweet, the sashimi is fresh, and the salad is fresh enough. Cooked food is average, fish maw has a fishy smell. It’s not a good rock food. Dragons are all made from Ma Ma Tei. On the contrary, I like sweet and sour bones. I don’t have noodles. The chicken is slippery but tasteless and hard to eat. The fruit is not sweet, no matter the honeydew or melon, the pineapple is sour, and the watermelon is ordinary. Desserts have a variety of colors, and each is delicious. Uncle Hagen has a guarantee. (Original) Lunch buffet有7折,食物質素都打左7折,無我想像咁岩食,款色唔多。 海鮮鮮甜,刺身新鮮,沙律夠fresh。 熟食一般,花膠有陣腥味唔係好岩食,龍躉都係麻麻地,反而糖醋骨我幾鐘意,粉麵我無食,片皮鴨卷皮厚身唔係好得,海南雞雖然滑溜但無味難食。 生果不論哈蜜瓜定蜜瓜都唔甜,菠蘿好酸,西瓜普通貨色。 甜品多款色,每樣都好味。 雪糕哈根大叔有保證。
