Les Grand Buffet at double the price would be a steal. The only issue is with the time limit is you find yourself waiting in numerous lines to order the 'special dishs', freshly prepared. Some dishes take 10-20 minutes to prepare!

hotel nikko honestly was good cause your filming a review, they take about 1 hour to cook the lobsters and if u order more it will take another hour. By that time your already full.

Merry Christmas & Happy birthday to you Mike! 🎉🎂🎁 thank you for all your great videos!

So worth every penny!! Wish I could go to all of these!!

THIS is a great review ,thank you very much the food looked great

Awesome job thank you!

Hope you had a great Christmas and have a happy new year to you and your family

Yummy for the tummy😋🤤

crab 52 was on my mind in the beginning of the video!! its so gorgeous

If anyone has the authority to make a top best buffet in the world it’s Mike Chen 100%

That French buffet is so beautiful too

i actually got back from south korea about a week ago, and crab 52 was one of the greatest experiences of my life, truly magnificent and opulent. can't recommend it enough despite the immense cost for most

The French buffet is quite outstanding. I need to take a photo of that lobster waterfall😂

I’ve been to two of the top 5 in this list because of Mike ! I’ve been to hotel nikko in Saigon and Les grand buffet in Narbonne. Both were worth it ! It was only £40pp and €50 in 2018 and 2022 respectively

That is so cheap for such wonderful buffets.

Watching this while eating cold chili out of a can 😂 Gotta do what you gotta do!

Thanks Mike

I am french and while I am happy that classical french food is still renowned and keeping its own rank, I think I would have chosen Crab 52 instead of "Les grands Buffets". Although the latter is extraordinarily inexpensive for what you get.

I’ve eaten at the Nordic it’s fabulous

Hey Mike!!! What did you do to your left hand that you need to wear a brace?

Makes me want to do a happy dance-amazing buffets! Merry Christmas !🎄

ive never come so close to crying during a video. these places look so good i think im gonna get rich now just to go try these places.

Should try crown buffet at barangaroo in Sydney Australia!

I'm drooling 🤤

I would love to be there

I remember the one you went to I think in Singapore. Maybe the Regent or Regency hotel one? I will never forget the cheese room! I would need one day just for that. Happy Holidays Mike!

That one is in Philippines

Hotel Nikko in Vietnam was absolutely our best buffet we have ever eaten at!!!

Anyone else completely ignore the dessert portions? It’s so funny, as a teen, I was literally a chocoholic. But, I very rarely eat sweets anymore as a 40+. Now, it seems sodium is my arch nemesis.

it's nice to see Jackie Chan so healthy and well. God bless.

I like the one with Haagen Dass buffet.

Yum ❤❤❤

Happy birthday Mikey🎉🎉

I live in California and need to try Navio. I can't recall ever seeing a hybrid between an AYCE and fine dining and seems like a great deal for their $200 weekend buffet.

I guess you've never been on a cruise ship your entire life?

the pastry at 22 45 is a "bouchée à la reine" or koningingenhapje , usually served with chicken and/or veal. A very common and relatively cheap dish in Belgium

Our favorite is Cafe Sierra AYCE Lobsters, crab & Prime rib at the Hilton in Universal City, California right across street from Universal Studios! $140 Mmmm

Spiral buffet at Sofitel Manila definity has to be on the list

I love this topic! Please do more of Mikey’s Top 5

You are an absolute joy !

I knew which one would come first before I even clicked on the video. I remember seeing your video from that place and being absolutely stunned.

Don’t be a hater and just enjoy the vlog people. It’s okay if he is doing something different on his channel.

Awesome. That looks delicious. Nice sharing Mike.

Great selections.

The cheese filled lobster sounds great; along with everything there! 🙂😋😋😋

Wonder if he’ll transition to a fitness influencer soon, but I love this type of content of his much more

Travel time 2024 check! Ready to eat at all these buffets.

ahhhhhh the good life!! when u want a different buffet, just go to the other side of the world!

Hmmm i see Golden Corral wasn't on the list 🤣🤣 maybe next time..

Where are the links to the places?

Try dimassis Mediterranean buffet

Loved this video!!

Finally the top 5 I been waiting for, hopefully I can go to at least some of these one day!

That looks amazing and tasty. I know my mom would have loved those lobsters and scallops ❤

i have never been this early but i love you

Great recap show. Thanks for creating it. And why not, you traveled to so many incredible places already. This is a great reminder.

TERRIBLE job not informing about the places.

I’m surprised the spiral buffet wasn’t on this list. I think it was located in the Philippines, but I watched so many of your videos. Sometimes they just all run into each other.

You can understand there being a time limit at a buffet, but no buffet should give you less than 2 hours. Especially what some of them charge.

Every Asians Paradise lol.

Haven't been to any of these but based on descriptions Mike's #5 would be my #1.

Hey Mike, how can you tell the difference in flavors, textures of the caviar (3rd buffet Half Moon) if you pile all three together on one cracker or pancake?

I think Sonny Side has been to Crab 52 too.

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😊

The Hotel Nikko made a great impression on me. I don't know why but I always think about this buffet after watching when he first uploaded it.

Not enough umami for me 😮😅

Rerun. Nice.

Nordic Lodge is on my bucket list. I've gotta go there.

I am a big fan of your channel❤❤

If you can afford it and travel

So, I could never eat enough to “beat” the AYCE. But, they are worth it just to be able to step out of your comfort zone

Nordic Lodge $135, you better eat up!

What is the name of the first place (Japan)?

I havent been there in more then ten years whent it was like 65 dollars

Dam and i thought the buffet i went to lastnight was the bomb, lol.

Can we get a list of the restaurants please and where they are? I would love to be able to book a trip To at least one of these places

I was hoping for Spiral Buffet 😅

Whenever we go to the Nordic Lodge I often don’t make it past the seafood section!

What about Shady Maple?

I tried to eat at Navio it’s really great foods and services

I wish heaven looks like the last buffet

Makes no sense to show places w/o details.

I’ve been binge watching Mike san’s vids for years, and this list was pretty much what I expected. A little surprised that none of the Miami buffets did not feature, but I suppose that’s down to cost performance. (Miami places featured caviar if I remember correctly) Having said that, I vaguely remember that Crab 52 in Seoul was on par in terms of cost to Florida buffets. Love from Japan.

I suspect the caviar you get in Miami isn't caviar from Russia (sturgeon), which is the more refined and crazy expensive caviar. Same for Les grands buffets and most if not all all you can eat buffets.

@sonny9054

@@lolilollolilol7773 That is pretty much correct, and Mike mentioned it in his vids. However there were a few that served sturgeon caviar albeit rare and expensive. My money is on that these were sourced from China since they are now the largest exporter of caviar, surpassing Russia and Iran.

❤❤❤

Would be nice to have them all linked above

surprised Kim son was not on the list

Been loving these frequent uploads from both mike Chan channel and here!!!! Extremely enjoy the vids. Please don’t feel pressured to upload frequently. You’re doing an amazing job either way!!

Loved this as I realised I've missed 1 episode and I'm going to find the whole one now 😂

I could watch this over and over.

I love me some buffets.

I went to Hotel Nikko's buffet last year and i gotta say i was quite disappointed. Although the seafood quality is good, really fresh, but the flavour of the food are quite bland, and there were not as much food options like in your video about the buffet. I assume the quality went down due to the pandemic, i don't how it is now, but i'm quite sure i won't be coming back there again.
