Very nice atmosphere and lunch is great value. $29 for all you can eat is fantastic! They have dumplings, most "standard" Chinese dishes, and a noodle bar - Yep, pick your raw ingredients and they cook it right in front of you, included in the all you can eat. And the desserts are to die for, I think there was about 50 choices. If you go there, don't forget to try the white chocolate mousse. Just amazing.

I've always been a little hesitant with going to buffets because of bad experiences with one closer to home. But after going to ChinaBar Buffet in Burwood 4 times within 1.5 months, I think it's definitely safe to say this buffet is worth my travelling, money and stomach.
My experience began on the 1st of Jan 2011. It's worth noting that on public holidays and special events, it is 69$ per person + half a lobster. On weekdays, it is 55$ for dinner and 59$ on weekends. If you can make it on the weeknights, i do recommend that because there is no time restriction; you can eat from when it opens til it closes for the night. However, on weekends, there are two sessions which go for 2hrs each. Two hours might be a little tight on time for some at a buffet, so there's some limitations.
Apart from that, this place is filled with food of all sorts to fit anyone's appetite. Theres the seafood bar, sushi counter with a selection of sashimi and japanese sushi, soups, congee, skewers, Peking duck, the classic beef and chicken dishes... What really impressed me were the huge selection of yumcha dumplings on offer, the 20+ variety of desserts in cute servings and the instant cooked noodles, seafood mix, vegies for customers on request!!
There is so much food, you'll definitely need to re-visit again and again to try it all. Can't complain. I've been 4 times and i still havent sampled everything. it is definitely worth a try.
Lastly, if you are interested, i do suggest visiting website, because there are deals and offers, and check the dates for special events and pricing/session times just to be sure.

Approximate cost: $55-59

I've been to this restaurant many times since it first open and the standard is still at its best. Dinner is $55 all you can eat asian buffet serving fresh seafood (natural oysters, crab, king prawns, mussels) hot platters (rice, stir fry, curries, variety of soup, congee) Dont miss the peking duck... supurb! There are yum cha dishes, Japanese Sushi Bar (freshly cut and served) Salad Bar, ohhh and the desert bar is to die for. They have such a variety of mini cakes, creme caramel, ice cream. Must book during the weekend as they do get busy. Decor is very spacious and lovely. Check out their website.

Been to this place a few times since they started. The setup is very nice and trendy. Food is pretty good, especially if you are a big fan of sushi and sashimi. They have a huge selection of Chinese cuisine as well. The dessert is really nice too. Would recommend this place to anyone, especially if they feel like pigging out.
The price is probably a bit on the high side but still affordable I suppose.

Approximate cost: $65

This buffet restaurant is quite new. It offers seafood, sushi, and other Asian cuisine. The waitresses are good looking girls. The place is clean and modern. The food tastes good and fresh. However, it is expensive $50-55 per head for dinner.

Approximate cost: $49
