Fanhuali BBQ All You Can Eat Buffet 繁花里自助烤吧 — Restaurant in Brisbane City

I came here with a large group of people sitting across multiple tables for a birthday celebration. The restaurant was decorated with fake cherry blossoms and shrubbery plantations which did give a nice cosy feel.

Our table ordered the BBQ and the food came out very slow, partially because the restaurant was quite crowded and partially because there didn't seem to be enough staff.

The beef slices were very thinly cut, and were placed on trays. There were only 4 slices of beef for 4 people in our table but it is meant to be a buffet style BBQ and the food was coming out exceptionally slow. There was an extended period of time that there was no food served on our table and they ran out of cups for drinking water.

The highlight was probably the dessert items. The a taro rice ball in condensed milk was freshly made and was decent.

The music bar was ok but the sound quality was not great.

Parking was a nightmare as with parking at any restaurants in Pinelands.

In terms of cleanliness, the floor was a bit sticky and the bar behind the reception area was a bit messy and full or dirty cups and cutlery.

For $50 a person BBQ buffet, it is ok but not...

Last year we went for the first time, and I would have rated this 5 stars if it had been the same this time.

Price is still $60/head, soups cost extra.

What changed? No more table service, no basics included (juice soft drinks) selection is very limited now and the stuff from the hot pot is not really that good anymore. I'm pretty disappointed because the first time we went it was such an amazing time, but the food offering this time was quite a let down, I probably wouldn't go again now after the changes.

Stuff in the rice cookers were kinda cold. Coals weren't really hot enough Wagyu was still really good Hotpot still tasted good, I just really didn't like that I had to pick through the frozen section (looks like budget brands) for specific hotpot items we used to be able to order.

It's not super wheelchair friendly anymore now that they don't do table service.

Really disappointed after how very good the...

Went with a friend and we were very disappointed. $59 per person for the Buffet. There were no plates or bowls when we arrived. And we couldn’t get a bowl for about 30 mins. Asked a few times and told they were being washed. When they did come out they were still wet. The staff were friendly enough it’s just they didn’t seem to know what was going on etc. The coals delivered when we first got there were not hot enough , had to ask for more which took about an hour. The fridges weren’t topped up frequently enough and half of the fried food was missing. And / or cold. The food wasn’t bad per se but they didn’t have a lot of the stuff we were expecting. Very limited selection of vegetables. When we went to pay were told that the soup bases we chose were extra. So in total with two cans of sprite it came to $153 for two people. Which is the most expensive I’ve ever been to for BBQ/ Hotpot. Won’t...
