    If you are looking for simpler buffets with less crowd, then this is the place. Selections are few but as someone that gets overwhelmed with too much food options, then this is good for me. I personally like the lechon belly and the various meat dishes. The security guards and all the waiters are all very accommodating.

    Much different from what it was pre pandemic Service is 5⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ but food is just okay. We got the BDO less 30% off promo for my in laws' anniversary celebration Highly recommend the lamb and the dessert selection. The ube brulee and the churros are great and the donut station was cute. The lychee ice cream are good too

    Wonderful buffet spread at the New World Manila Bay Hotel. Good if you have a credit card partner that gives you a discount. I love the seafood stations with oysters, crabs, shrimps, and mussels and the Japanese station with maki, sashimi and tempura. They also have delicious cakes and deserts. Drinks like iced tea, sofa and local beers go with the buffer price. Additional 499 pesos for wine choices.

    Absolutely stunning buffet area, a perfect place to bring a date, business associate or family. Notwithstanding, The place being a number of years old, it still retains its charm. The furniture still looks grand and the staff well trained. Bring a bdo card and get 50 percent off. Come on a weekday lunch for the best deal.

    Buffet choices are basic and few but really good quality. The salmon and tuna sashimi were fresh and nicely cut. The shrimps and clams were big and fresh too. Loved the grilled beef sirloin more than the roast. For a price of P1,250 (50% off care of Eatigo app), im not complaining. Migth consider coming back in the future if i wanna pig out on seafood. Great service.

    We went here 1 week before Christmas. Looking for a buffet that was nearby because it was so hard to find a taxi or Grab to get around at that time. Great reviews even from my friends. But we must have come on one of their off days. This was going to be our Christmas dinner, so we expected something grand. In all honesty, not so much. It was 8pm on a Saturday night, half the buffet was only open, the food was cold with no warmer, no steak not even cheap steak and no seafood what so ever, not even a cheap spread of Japanese sushi/sashimi. We were about to leave after our first serving of cold soup that had plastic in it. But had already ordered fresh pasta from that station & had them grill fresh meat & sausages, these were the only saving grace. Hard breads, cheese, and pizza. 2 types of ulam, can't remember what it was at this point it was so unforgettable, again cold. Roast pork & chicken, both overcooked. There were some good desserts. Please change the whipped cream you guys use its so bland with a hint of chemicals. I can make better tasting home made whipped cream than that, maybe the chef forgot the sugar? Sorry this is coming from someone with a cooking background. Hopefully things will change after the pandemic when yall have a bigger budget..

    Good variety- lots of choices. This is one of the few buffets where u find a whole lechon roasted on site. Their carving station offers excellent selections , same with their dimsum station. Their chicken feet is excitingly big and tender. Shrimps are also of decent size. Staff are attentive and warm. Worth trying.

    The restaurant's bright and airy ambiance, combined with the attentive and friendly service, creates a comfortable and enjoyable dining experience. Market Cafe also offers live cooking stations where diners can interact with the chefs and have their food prepared to their liking. Moreover, the restaurant uses fresh and high-quality ingredients in all their dishes, making it a perfect place to indulge in a wide variety of international cuisine. The wide selection of desserts is also worth mentioning, with a variety of sweet treats to choose from.

    Good place. Chefs and staff are very cheerful and not grumpy. Very attentive , goes the extra mile with their hospitality. Food is also great. If not for my acidic reflux problem, I would have savored more food.

    My go-to buffet option. Good selection of food (both cooked and serviced), and it's inexpensive (and usually on a BDO promo most of the year). It's a pretty quiet place with nice staff and good ambiance. Highly recommend it.

    I like the food but I love all the staff and servants. They are very acommodating. Not much food selection. There are part of the resto that smells cigarette. A bit expensive as well. Shrimp and crab are the best.

  • 2/5 bobby l. 1 year ago on Google
    The food was cold esp the fries that came with the chicken sandwich. The chicken sandwich appeared to be refried from the previous day. Also,there were numerous items not available for dinner which included many items listed on the menu. This place at best is good for bfast and not a dinner place.

  • 5/5 Joejoe A. 1 year ago on Google
    Quiet Ala Carter dinner tonight with very good selections of authentic Filipino dishes with slight twists... pakbet was not too salty and had a tinge of sweetness that worked perfectly with the vegetables imo. The singing had just the right tanginess and again not too salty with ample amounts of meat and veggies. Reasonable price and excellent service.

    A delightful buffet experience at Market Cafe I had a wonderful dinner at Market Cafe with my friends last week. The restaurant is located on the third floor of the New Coast Hotel Manila, which is a deluxe 5-star hotel in the city. The restaurant has a spacious and elegant dining area, with a view of the interactive kitchens where the chefs prepare the dishes. The buffet offers a wide variety of cuisines, including Western, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, and Filipino. There are also stations for salads, soups, breads, cheeses, and desserts. The food quality is excellent, and everything is fresh and flavorful. I especially enjoyed the seafood section, where they had crabs, shrimps, mussels, oysters, and fish. You can have them cooked in different ways, such as grilled, steamed, or baked. The sushi and sashimi were also very good, and they had a nice selection of sauces and condiments. The service was impeccable, and the staff was very friendly and attentive. They refilled our drinks regularly and cleared our plates promptly. They also gave us some recommendations on what to try and how to enjoy the food. They were very professional and courteous. The price was reasonable for the quality and quantity of food. We paid about 1500 per person, which was a good deal for a buffet in a 5-star hotel. We were very satisfied and happy with our meal. I highly recommend Market Cafe to anyone who loves buffet dining. It is one of the best restaurants in Manila and I will definitely come back again.

    This cafe is my go-to spot for a morning pick-me-up. The moment I walk through the door, I'm greeted by the friendly staff who know me by name. The coffee is consistently excellent, and they offer a wide range of options to suit every taste. The atmosphere is bright and cheery, and they have comfortable seating both indoors and outdoors. The pastries and sandwiches are made fresh daily and are absolutely delicious. Whether I'm in a rush or looking to relax, this cafe always hits the spot!

    The food selection in the buffet has lessened over the years but has been focused on what Filipinos like. Perhaps this is a good thing. Drinks like beer, sofdrinks, ice tea and juices come with the buffet. The waiters are very good and attentive.

  • 2/5 モチヅキミツハル 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) They are very beautiful and have a nervous aspect. It is often the case that a fly stops at a restaurant once a food has been eaten. No refrigerator. No safety box. Television Only local programs with 7 channels in the daytime and 2 in the middle of the night. There are Japanese program animations, etc., but they all hear only Tagalog, so there is no point in listening to English. Shower room Of course no bathtub No hot water is available Amenity is only small soap and shampoo. Of course there is no toothbrush No dryer No hand towel No face towel Two bath towels One bath mat Mirrors and shelves are reasonable. The toilet is clean and the running water pressure is good. Rooms are clean and in good condition. The sound is heard in the hallway and the footsteps are not heard. Bedding Clean The pillowcase is also clean. The front staff I couldn't tell unconditionally because I saw everyone in turn, but there are many kind people Housekeeper girls and men are also bright and happy to say hello. (Original) とても綺麗好きで神経質な面が有り レストランで料理に一度ハエが止まっただけでクレームに至ることもしばしばです。 冷蔵庫 無し。セフティボックス 無し。テレビ ローカル番組のみでチャンネル数は昼は7 深夜は2 日本の番組アニメなどあるが 全てタガログ語しか聞こえないので例え英語が聞き取れても意味がない。 シャワールーム 勿論バスタブ無し お湯は出ない アメニティは小さな石鹸とシャンプーのみ。歯ブラシなど当然無し ドライヤー無し ハンドタオル フェイスタオル無し バスタオル2枚バスマット1枚 鏡や棚はまずまずのものが設置 水圧チョロで水なのでこれが宿泊中の一番のストレス。トイレは綺麗 流水圧も良。部屋は綺麗 掃除も行き届いてる。音は廊下の声や足音はまる聞こえ 隣の声やテレビ音は聞こえない。寝具 綺麗 枕カバーの中も清潔。フロントスタッフ 何人も交代で見たので一概に言えないが 親切な人が多い ハウスキーパーの女の子達や男も 明るく挨拶は気持ちいい。

    Had our lunch meeting here. Nice for a quick lunch buffet. Serves basic japanese, chinese food.

  • 2/5 Wai M. 4 years ago on Google
    Is it worth its price? One word, "no". Only a few sections, of which only the dessert station is worthy. Seafood section has prawns, small crabs, and mussels - the prawns weren't exactly fresh and I would skip the crabs which are dry and not meaty. Live grill station serves really tough beef. Sushi section has tuna and salmon sashimi which didn't seem quite fresh to me. Will not be back again.
