We stumbled in here without knowing about the seafood buffet every Friday night. $20/pp including free-flow wine. We were expecting a cheaper, more low-key place and it was more than we wanted to spend, but we were hungry and the atmosphere sucked me in. The wine was Argentinian and quite acceptable. The refills flowed fast, never had to flag anyone... more

This place may have been good in some distant past to have made it into Lonely Planet and Frommers but that is history. I guess it is now only good for tourist groups dumping this place on their unsuspecting and trusting customers. If you want to visit the place, walk in, walk around and walk out fast before you get... more

This cafe was remodelled from an old temple, they kept the old facade and the decor inside is new, very pleasant and almost zen like feeling when you walk in from a bustling street. We ate at the big courtyard with lots of shade. Lunch is buffet, no a la carte. US$10/person. Good varieties of food, mainly vietnamese and asian... more
