孤獨的美食家
2 week agoI recently enjoyed an unforgettable dining experience at JW Marriott Café, and it truly deserves every one of these five stars. From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere immediately set the tone for a premium buffet experience—elegant yet relaxed, spacious without feeling cold, and filled with a quiet sense of confidence that only a top-tier hotel restaurant can deliver. The staff welcomed guests warmly, handled seating efficiently, and maintained a professional but genuinely friendly demeanor throughout the entire visit. The buffet selection itself is nothing short of impressive. The first thing that stands out is the sheer breadth of cuisines on offer. From fresh seafood to expertly prepared hot dishes, every station feels thoughtfully curated rather than overwhelming. The seafood counter is a highlight, featuring exceptionally fresh oysters, prawns, snow crab legs, and clams. Everything tasted clean and natural, with proper temperature control that reflects strong kitchen discipline. The hot food section shows real culinary skill. The Western dishes are rich but balanced, Asian selections are authentic and comforting, and the carving station consistently delivers perfectly cooked meats—tender, juicy, and well-seasoned. Unlike many buffets where quantity overshadows quality, JW Marriott Café manages to excel at both. Dishes are replenished quickly, presentation remains neat even during peak hours, and flavors stay consistent from the first plate to the last. Desserts deserve special mention. The pastry and dessert counter is visually stunning and equally satisfying in taste. From refined cakes and tarts to classic comfort desserts, everything feels carefully crafted rather than mass-produced. The balance of sweetness is particularly commendable—nothing feels overly sugary, which allows you to truly appreciate the textures and flavors. The ice cream and dessert accompaniments are also well thought out, making it easy to end the meal on a high note. Service is where JW Marriott Café truly elevates the experience. Plates are cleared promptly, drinks are refilled without needing to ask, and staff members are attentive without being intrusive. Even during busy periods, the team remains calm, efficient, and consistently courteous. It’s clear that training standards are high, and that level of professionalism makes a significant difference in overall enjoyment. In terms of value, this buffet delivers exactly what you would expect from a luxury hotel brand. You are paying not just for food, but for comfort, reliability, and a refined dining environment where everything simply works. Whether you’re celebrating a special occasion, hosting guests, or just treating yourself to a premium buffet, JW Marriott Café is an outstanding choice. I would happily return and confidently recommend it to anyone seeking one of the best buffet experiences in the city.

3 week agoWhat a truly exceptional dining experience we had at the JW Marriott Cafe's international buffet! From the moment we arrived, the friendly, attentive staff made us feel welcomed and valued as guests. As we made our way through the expansive selection of global cuisine, we were repeatedly wowed by the exceptional quality and preparation of each dish. The king crab legs were sweet, tender, and bursting with fresh, briny flavor. The Peking duck was perfectly crisp on the outside and delightfully juicy within, complemented by an array of perfectly balanced accompaniments. And the Chinese "fa gow" and grouper fish were equally sensational, showcasing the kitchen's masterful command of diverse culinary traditions. While the $640 per person price tag is certainly on the higher end, the sheer breadth and quality of the offering made it well worth the investment. We left the JW Marriott Cafe feeling completely satisfied, our palates delighted and our expectations exceeded. We cannot wait to return for another spectacular international dining experience.

1 month agoI was so pleasantly surprised by the JW Cafe. My lovely wife and I decided to try the Saturday lunch buffet. We honestly weren’t expecting much of anything, but we discovered that it was actually a gem hidden in plain sight. Between the soaring ceilings, floor to ceiling windows, and thoughtfully placed, comfortable tables and booths the ambiance was amazing. Great for actually spending time talking to the people on your table without it being loud or feeling crowded. The service was perfect and everyone was so friendly. The staff seemed truly committed to making sure you were enjoying yourself and completely at ease. The food was varied and uniformly delicious. Such a great place to visit on a sunny summer afternoon.

2 month agoJM cafe is one of my favorite buffet in Hong Kong. Afternoon tea buffet is worth money. We can enjoy varioks type of food, libeye steak, tempra, dim sum, sashimi, sweet, etc. And most of the dishes there are very tasty. One complementary drink also included. I spend very happy moment there.
