i wouldve refused to pay the full amount if that was the case. that's totally b.s. you can report that to the management. that waiter should be banned from the hospitality industry. either they under the infamous cheap gokongwei management or their waiters are unqualified. you never tell that kind of thing to a guest.

 

i was told they have an ongoing promo this july for 950 lunch and 1050 dinner. buy 1 take 1 buffet. just dont know if this is managed by gokongwei clan. if it is, i doubt its quality.

Tang City Glorietta had a Chinese lunch and dinner buffet last summer: P295 + 10%, drinks not included. 14 dishes including roast duck. Quite a bargain.

 

They had transferred the buffet to the Robinson's Place branch starting June. Lunch only so far.

for 330 total bill, its cheap if the roast duck is of good quality. an order of roast duck topping rice will cost you nearly 100.

 

peking duck is now hard to find with the outbreak of avian flu but local ducks used for roasting are still available.

We went to Seafood Club in Greenbelt 3 last night at around 8 o'clock for their Eat-All-You-Can Buffet. They said we couldn't avail of the buffet as they were running low on food. Ala Carte na lang daw available. What the heck are they advertising the Buffet for? 8 o'clock pa lang at ubos na ang pagkain at hindi na magdadagdag?

 

We left and went some place else.

 

Never going back to this place again. Hope someone from Ayala gets to read this and reprimand this establishment.

Mandaraya talaga ang restaurant na yan. Went there before at ang liliit ng alimango na binigay sa amin. Before we ordered, I even asked the waiter kung anong size ng alimango meron sila, mga 500 gms daw ang usual weight. When I ordered the crab basket, ang liliit ng binigay puro kaha lang walang laman.

Tapos masyado pang maanghang ang pagkaluto when I told them na ayaw namin ng maanghang masyado.

Kanila rin yung Crustasia sa Rockwell. Palpak din, laging wala ang mga alimango. Napakamahal pa!

Kaya beware, kasi kanila rin yung The Red Crab, I'ved never been there pero pag ganun din ang quality ng food, huwag na lang. Puro press release lang pala ang mga restaurant na yan. Na-feature pa sa F ang Crustasia, pero hanggang tv lang pala.

The owners should correct this, baka kaha na lang ng alimango ang matira sa kanila.

Regarding the buffet in Greenbelt 3, palpak talaga yan, I've tried to avail of this pero laging wala na raw pagkain. Ang lakilaki pa ng kanilang sign sa labas na may buffet daw sila... Pero lagi namang "wala ng pagkain". Katawatawa yan, they start at around 6pm and end at 8pm for the buffet. Meron bang dinner buffet na ganun kaikli ang oras. Ano yan? dinner break! Huwag na lang silang magoffer ng buffet, ala-carte na lang all the way. Imagine, if you enter at 7pm. tira na lang ang kakainin mo.

very surprising , as these places give the impression of fine dining places with crab/seafood as their specialty. i havent tried any of these places yet but normally, when a place suddenly offers smorgasbord on a regular basis, i naturally presume the place is not doing very well. another point, buffet costing is different from regular costing, taking into the consideration the maximum cost an individual can consume. Without hotel or casino operations to subsidize the food costs, it is but natural for the price to be higher or for the operator to scrimp on food allocation, specially on those more expensive dishes. how much would be the price for crab buffet? crab is normally 300-400 pesos per kilogram depending on availability and location. presuming an average person could normally finish off a minimum of 2 whole crabs with a total weight of 1 kilogram, one has to price the buffet for at least 1,000. go figure

my brother just came from hongkong and tried the spice market at marco polo that you suggested to me. they had live stations similar to hyatt and circles but with better ingredients. cost was 150 HKD. salmon was creamy and smooth. there was also steamed mouse garoupa which was very fresh, something we will probably never ever see served in a buffet locally. tin hau used to have it a couple of years ago but stopped it when food budget was cut.

Goddam! I had the same experience when my wife and I went there on her birthday. Plus, the demeanor of the waiters is better suited to a cheap barbershop than a restaurant.

Wow! If this was baseball, strike out na ang Seafood Club, Crustasia, at Red Crab! Three bad reviews!

 

Siguro kung ang gusto ay crabs - alimango, to be exact, dapat sa Dampa na lang pumunta. Mas sulit pa! Kalat na naman sila - from the originals in Paranaque and Baclaran (which is also Paranaque), mayroon na sa Market Market, Ortigas, and almost everywhere. Hindi lang nga buffet, pero sigurado hindi lugi.

if crabs buffet are your stuff, try seafood nights (mostly fridays) at mla pen nielsens, mandarin paseo, shang or chinatown banawe. for regular crab orders, try fook yuen in banawe or emerald garden.
