The Astor
Hong Kong
Arvostelut
Stepping into this Hong Kong-style buffet feels like entering a stylish, modern space with a strong sense of contemporary design. The decoration gives a fresh, trendy vibe while still holding onto that local “nostalgia” charm, and the seating is genuinely comfortable—making the whole dining experience feel relaxed. Recently, the restaurant has been running a Spanish-themed buffet, and it’s easy to see why people come for this. There are plenty of Spanish items to choose from, including Spanish fried rice, Spanish roast pork, and churros. The Spanish selection feels fun and satisfying, especially if you enjoy bold, comforting flavors. What stands out even more is the cold seafood section. The oysters are freshly shucked, and you can also find long-leg crab and other chilled seafood options. Everything tastes fresh and clean, with a satisfying ocean-forward flavor that immediately elevates the buffet quality. The limited-supply lobster is another highlight—it's cooked exceptionally well. The sauce, combined with a creamy egg-mayonnaise style richness, pairs brilliantly with the mashed potato, creating a very well-balanced bite that feels indulgent but not heavy. That said, not every hot dish matches the same level. The other hot buffet offerings are comparatively less impressive and don’t feel as polished. Dessert is also somewhat underwhelming, with fewer choices overall and not many cake options. For BBQ meats, the restaurant uses Yat Tung Heen’s roast meat style, and it definitely shows. The char siu is soft, tender, and melt-in-your-mouth, with a texture that’s both juicy and pleasantly smooth.
The different food sections are actually tucked away in different corners so there is actually a much greater variety of food than what you expect when looking at the restaurant from above. In particular the Japanese food is nice, and you can also eat HK-style barbecued pork/goose/chicken from the famous Yat Tung Heen. Service is attentive and your empty dishes are cleared in an instant giving you space to bring in another dish
We visited for the lunch buffet — taste was average, but the variety was extensive. The dessert section was the highlight for me. At HKD 250 per person(may be promotional price ) , the price felt reasonable given the spread. Overall, this buffet is best suited for those who enjoy quantity and options over refined quality. Recommended if you like exploring many choices in one sitting.
Fairly average buffet that had a ‘Korean’ themed buffet night. Some food was rationed to one piece per diner. Beer was Budweiser only (not a good beer – why not a local beer?), house wine pretty average. Some parts of the buffet were good but other parts not so good. Staff friendly but missing on occasions when trying to order drinks. Unless you got this buffet on a discount code I would not bother. Wasn’t overly impressed.
Been here for dinner, and its very good. Great variety of food from Japanese, steak, BBQ, Asian and fresh seafood. Fresh and tasty, they bring out lobster tail thermidor and Peking duck. Great service very helpful staff. Value for money.
