BBQ A Buffet Chinese style wagyu bbq & Chinese food — Restaurant in Melbourne

Lunch @BBQA.Buffet.Melbourne BBQ A Buffet Chinese Style Korrean BBQ & Chinese food. With so many places in Melbourne it's easy to miss places like this. Venture upstairs and be treated to a buffet. The Chinese style BBQ at your table is the higher priced option but the alternative is far more affordable, and cheaper if paying cash. There's quite a variety of dishes to choose from including a few sweet options. Crab claw, fried chicken, fried mantou, takoyaki, roast duck, pork trotters, cabbage with pork, spicy beef, and steamed eggplant were my first choice.

Next came cold beef tripe, pickled potato noodles, steamed cabbage and pork bun, wagyu egg fried rice, steamed egg custard, stir fried pork, and vegetable hotpot.

I enjoyed the variety on offer and the quality of the dishes is sound. I'm a big fan of deep fried foods so fried chicken and golden deep fried crab claws are yum! I also like the Japanese takoyaki octopus balls. The pork trotters are lovely and not a dish one expects at a buffet, as too the roast duck. I really liked the slightly crispy chilli beef, and pork with anything is yum so the cabbage with pork was yum. I also like the Chinese way of braised eggplant which was lovely. The cold beef tripe was delicious and I also liked the refreshing cold pickled potato noodles. There are a number of steamed buns to choose from but they are large so one is enough. The pork and cabbage steamed bun is nice but a little on the bland side. The fried rice is quite rich, as too the egg custard which is smooth and silky, with a vegetable hot pot (avoiding the dried chillies) a nice compliment against the predominantly meat based dishes.

I went back for a small sweet steamed bun with red bean paste which is lovely, but I really enjoyed the jelly. Help yourself to jelly, different sauces, different pearls or boba which are absolutely awesome, soft and bursting with a fruity explosion to turn a plain jelly into something else. Excellent value for money buffet with variety and solid quality dishes. Comfortably full but deceptively filling.

This buffet is majourly overrated! Firstly, the chicken was raw! We told them about it and they left it for 5 minutes until refrying it. Then, it comes back out 30 seconds later still raw in the middle. Plus it wasen't hot after it was taken out. The options are also limited and drinks are $5 each! Absolutley rediculous. (Btw they give a free can of drink for 5 star reviews so thats why the buffet has a 5 star rating). Many better and cheaper buffets in the cbd area, 1/5. At least the service was average

My response to BBQ-A buffet's reply - Dear BBQ-A buffet. I do not think that is correct. Firstly, when I bit into the chicken, it had a chewy texture that isn't ordinarily found on cooked chicken. Secondly, when I told your staff about it, they did not assure me that the chicken was cooked. I also added a photo of the chicken. As you can see, the chicken is obviously raw. And thirdly, seasoning does not sink all the way into the chicken. Your seasoning is also not pinkish. I can also see fat on the chicken which is not seeable on cooked chicken. I also don't appreciate your straight forward sentence at the end, "it is not raw chicken". You didn't eat the chicken, us customers did. Please in the future ensure that your chicken is cooked. (P.s, your staff did not inform me that a refund was a possible option, so please tell me how the process of a...

Food: The food selection was downright disappointing, and the quality even worse. After eating there, I felt sick and had to cleanse my palate with something more reliable from the nearest Coles. To make matters worse, they boldly displayed a type of meat with the label “Don’t know what it’s called.” If you can’t identify what you’re serving, you have no business serving it. Plain and simple.

Atmosphere: Instead of proper dishware, they opt for flimsy paper plates and cutlery. This is definitely not the place for anything remotely serious, like a proper date. You can’t expect to impress anyone at a place that can’t even bother to offer real dishes. The sheer amount of waste this generates is staggering and completely unnecessary.

Now, about those glowing 5-star reviews. Don’t be deceived—this is nothing more than a smoke-and-mirrors trick. They literally buy 5-star ratings by offering a free soft drink (a measly $5 value) in exchange for glowing reviews. It’s a textbook example of “fake it till you make it,” but trust me, no amount of bribery can mask the serious flaws of this place. Desperation doesn’t equal quality.

I would never recommend this place. There are far better ways to spend $50 per person than on this sham of...
