Marina Kitchen & Marina Cafe — Restaurant in Hong Kong Island

We came here for the dinner buffets. We booked via Klook with a discount of HKD $622 each. We choose the Marina Kitchen (Ocean Park) due to it's cheaper than many other well-known buffets within the same prices range. The buffet provided quite a variety of choices. Our favourites were the steamed lobsters, the Chinese herbs soup & scallops sashimi, but that's it. The food overall was not bad, but I was disappointed because it was let down by the missing attention to details which I believe it could easily be fixed. For example, although it has so many seafood options, it didn't have any "fish" dishes, which was essential for dinner buffets; another example was its Peking duck, despite it was crispy & delicious, but was hugely let down by its pancakes which were frozen cold taken out from a fridge. The sushi section was nice but was missing the essential salmon & tuna sashimi. There was a huge section of Indian food, which I thought was a waste of space as it was hardly touched by anyone during our 3 hours stay! The sirloin steak & brown crabs were average - as you'd expect from any buffet. There were many desserts on display, but apart from the panna cotta & a couple of cheesecakes, all others (I.e. sweets, biscuits, doughnuts...etc.) were just like the white elephant. The egg waffles were stone hard & cold, many others (I.e. macaron) were either too sweet or didn't taste good at all. Dispite they have the Haagen Dazs ice cream, but they only have 2 optons: the strawberry cheesecakes & the matcha green tea & they didn't have any normal favourites like vanilla, chocolate or strawberry...etc. Finally, there's an extra charge ($88) for drinks, which was a bit greedy in my opinion. Service was OK. Staffs were friendly & used plates were cleared up quickly from the table. Water was often refilled without asking. The atmosphere of the restaurant was lovely, we love the ambience & the decorations inside out of the restaurant. Seating was comfortable too. Overall, we were a bit disappointed with the food as we thought it wasn't as good as what the reviews said on Googles & Open Rice. I don't think...

This is the BEST BUFFET I have ever been to so far in my life! 💎Hidden Gem Alert💎 It’s not cheap but you totally get what you pay for and more. It’s a luxurious buffet with outstanding service. First of all, the ICE CREAM. As seen in the photos and videos, there is a self serve Haagen Dazs freezer filled with mini pints of ice cream and ice cream bars which spins and has every flavour you could want to eat. Second, there is AYCE steamed lobster, crab, mussels, clams, sashimi, sushi, and the like. Third, they have AYCE Peking duck, xlbs, dim sum, Chinese bbq, prime rib, lamb, gourmet cakes and desserts, macarons, dessert tofu, Tako Wasabi, candy bar, fresh baked breads, and more! There are more food offerings here than the Wynn buffet in Vegas and the quality is like eating every item from a Michelin star restaurant! Like seriously, despite being a buffet, the taste and quality of each item is like ordering a la carte from a fine restaurant. The presentation was outstanding and they had cute rubber ducks everywhere. They even had a freshly made bubble waffle station!!! Everything you could dream of eating is pretty much here! The grilled pineapple was amazing! I had like 3 Peking duck wraps which were so good. Everything tasted like bliss in your...

An average experience. Good for tourists looking for a good bite and reasonably priced buffet.

The selection of food here is quite limited, and this is my first impression of this buffet lunch. But I think most of the foot here is up to its standard. The lack of selection does make it a little bit disappointing when it comes to a buffet experience.

For the dessert section, they offer three whole cakes which I think is quite nice but the rest of the desserts are not outstandingly good so give and take.

And for the hot dishes, there is really quite a small variety of savory and hot dishes to offer. Both of them tasted fine, especially for the curry dish and the fried foods.

One thing I must mention is that they do not have an extensive Japanese food selection, especially for the sashimi section.

The place itself is quite spacious, and the staff are very helpful. It’s just that I feel like most of the space are not well designed to optimize a good route for exploring different...
