Is that excluding champagne? I'm pretty sure with free-flow it's over RMB 400 i.e. same price as elsewhere. I'd be interested to know what you thought of it so please post after you've been

well, my wife and I tried it out today, and it was nothng special, really. Buffet looked nice enough, but the actual food was not the best. Lobster was really soft and mushy, so obviously not fresh. Sushi was cut TOO thick. U would think better value but it being a buffet, you can always go back for me. The fact that it was too thick made it too chewy. They had a choc fountain (which I love) but it was not working properly....just dribbling.

Service was crap. I mean, they were there, but no smiles....

Free flow was some unknown brand, but yet, it was free flow.

All in all, it cost us 610Y for two.

Not going back there. The JW Marriott was MUCH better.

So Samuelo, not recommeded.

Is there such a thing ??? IMO - the thicker the better [of course must be fresh too].

We have personal friends throughout the Marriott organization - we can put you in touch with the people that can fix any compliant you may have if you're interested in sharing your experience with them ?

Thanks for that DesertSpider, but that's ok.
Just not going to go back there because alot of what they did were not to MY liking. Might be good for someone else. I guess not every restaurant can make you happy

I don't recommend it either. Price too high for the quality of food.
