While we haven’t tried the buffet for ourselves, we saw that they have a 4.4/5 rating on Google Reviews, with most diners praising the restaurant for their good quality and variety of ingredients, not to mention its affordability.

Don’t like to peel your own prawns? They also have a special “prawn peeling” service where the staff will peel all the prawn shells for you—this added service is definitely a bonus for lazy folks (like us). They even have the viral lala hotpot, and if all that’s not enough, you can also order additional stir fried mains and side dishes!
