Chi fan le ma?

Golden Jaguar restaurant is famous in Beijing for the variety of foods at its buffet. Most people could sample only a fraction of the 400 different foods on offer there before getting full. But in terms of quality, the restaurant has stiff competition from the buffets at Beijing's big hotels. Unlike many other cities, hotel restaurants here boast impressive reputations.

They not only have the best chefs, but also charge high prices, allowing them to use the best ingredients, and more authentic seasoning. Moreover, most of the big hotels have trained their staff to a Western standard, which usually means more pleasant and considerate service compared to local restaurants.

Here are some hotel buffets which are really good choices for a bountiful and hearty all-you-can-eat meal.
