Centrally located at CBD but attracts a good family crowd. Must book at least a week in advance, especially during weekends.

The deep dish egg tarts though were quite nice. The service was quite rushed with plates being cleared as soon as we’d eat the last bite of a particular course. That was odd

The food was not bad overall. Will recommend to friends. Service was good also. Maybe should have more variety for the selection of the seafood.

Service slow and needed to request to be served. In addition, after finding that menu served was limited and not clearly stated when initially making the booking, the booking at the next restaurant by the staff was not optimally arranged with some resulting delay in service.

The spread was good , with wide variety. It was very well attended. Service was a bit lacking but we were able to sort out the issues regarding food not being warm enough. They should Ensure that all food dishes are warm before they open the door at 12.

Great food. There’s salmon,promfret, mutton rendang, lobster and frog legs porridge. The dessert is nice especially the durian penggat. Very crowded and the placement of plates are not convenient as the people getting food is blocking the way

Like the fresh blood cockles and herbal prawn. Very pricey for 3 pax ($230) but ingredients are fresh. Though limited in selection, the soup base and freshness made up for it.

The buffet was good. The only thing we find that your desserts should have more coconuts and gula Melaka. We enjoyed very much. Service was good too👍

i thought they were serving their daily steamboat buffet on 24th Dec but appears to be international buffet. Xmas buffet spread not impressive at all and not worth the amount we paid. Daily steamboat buffet still the best.

Love the durian puree and green bean soup! Prawns were fresh but the mackerel and snapper tasted fishy for me. Wide variety of food for a steamboat buffet..

The variety were not much but are fresh. There isn’t any free flow soft drinks and didn’t know they serve ice water as staff didn’t asked at all. But overall still good with nice atmosphere for steamboat.

Wasn't able to ask for two pots and one of them didn't take meat. Hence had trouble eating and cooking the food. However, food was fresh and good selection.

Easy to book but it does not reveal anything like COST & t&c of Hotel on child price definition etc. That’s why I cannot commit to the sloppy confirmation. Good luck.

The Buffet @ M Hotel is our family favourite. We were there to celebrate my daughter's birthday. Staff member Jasmine took great pains to ensure that we had a super experience, complete with a slice of delicious cake for the birthday girl. Much appreciated. Now you know why The Buffet is a place for us.

Staff not attentive, lack of staff, foods not top up quick enough. The flower crabs only top up twice during dinner with small quantity. The flower crab was not fresh. Person in charge of live prawn was missing in action and guest have to wait for her to come back most of the time. Really very disappointed to the max. The buffet which i knew and supported is gone.. really sad. Will not be going back and will not recommended this place to my family and friends.

Reasonable selection of hot dishes & desserts. Drink selection limited, but teh tarik was refreshing. Durian paste was presented in shot glasses. Worthwhile if there is 1-for-1 promo.

The price was slightly steep compared to the scale down in food. With endless buffets around town their Prive was not their main selling point even with the credit card promo. We are not meat eaters varieties for other items were quite limited. Overall I enjoy the meal because of the wonderful time I spent with my loved ones. The service crew was great too.

service and standard of food have improved tremendously especially the seafood. however more variety of food can be included , such as abalone, soft shell crabs and lobsters.
