Reviewer: Foodnut.com Tiffin Buffet Grand Hyatt Hong Kong 1 Harbour Road Hong Kong, China SAR 852 2584 7722 |
The quest for the ultimate buffet continues. Foie gras check, Iberico ham, check.
We recently visited Hong Kong and dined on excellent Cantonese Chinese food and more. Hong Kong is a modern city like New York, that is progressive, packed with energy, and filled with top-notch restaurants. Hong Kong’s over-the-top buffets are one area most folks overlook.
Other Buffets: Conrad Nicolini’s Sunday Brunch Buffet, Harbourside Buffet,, JW Marriott Hong Kong, Tiffen Buffet Grand Hyatt Hong Kong.

Tiffin Buffet Grand Hyatt Hong Kong was next on our list of high-end buffets. This high-end hotel is located near the HKCEC (Hong Kong Convention & Exhibition Centre), making it is popular with businessmen. This restaurant is a long walk from the MTR station. We are suckers for lavish spreads of high-end food in addition to our mainstays of regular fine dining! We have found that Hong Kong is filled with buffets that simply out to do Las Vegas. In 2010, we dined at nearby Conrad Hotel’s Sunday brunch, which proved to be Awesome.
This dinner buffet here costs approximately US$70. You can save by coming just for the dessert buffet at HK$250. Sunday Brunch adds cooked lobster and unlimited Rose Champagne.
Chinese name: 茶園
Summary – Excellent buffet that is available every day.
Insider Tip – Make Reservations in Advance

Location – Wan Chai Hong Kong, China
Decor, Vibe – Tiffin Buffet Grand Hyatt Hong Kong is situated on the open atrium, mezzanine level and a spacious locale with a pianist playing live music. This area also serves as their bar lounge, resulting in many sofa like chairs, not particularly amenable for dining, but good for relaxing when you achieve a food coma.

Several high-quality shellfish options including crab, mussels, clams, lobster, and shrimp.
No sashimi or caviar. Smoked salmon.
Appetizers:

Service – Grand Hyatt Tiffin Buffet had reasonable service, but not enough servers to cover the vast territory. We had to hail our server several times.
Value – This is a fairly expensive buffet, but they did feature a wide variety of high-quality food especially desserts and cooked food. Deductions for lack of some high end items.
Alternatives – Nearby buffets include the awesome Conrad Sunday brunch at Nicolini’s and the JW Marriott buffet. Intercontinental’s Harbourside across the bay is another top contender.
Verdict – Tiffin Buffet Grand Hyatt Hong Kong proved to be a solid choice with a wide variety of food especially desserts. Beverages were disappointingly pricey. While they lacked some of the extraordinary items (shellfish options, caviar, high quality pasta) present elsewhere, the breadth of cuisine’s and the fact that it is available daily, not just on Sunday mornings, makes it attractive to a wide audience. You can also come for dessert only. For a Sunday Brunch, we would hit Conrad or JW Marriott Lounge instead.
Children cost HK$269.
MTR Station: Wan chai Exit A1 – Beware! Extremely Long walk!
