If you're more interested in quantity than quality, the Rhine Cafe, the buffet restaurant at the New Town Garden Hotel, is the ideal choice, with dinner buffets priced at less than 200 yuan per person, and the variety of dishes can make Suzhou's top buffet restaurants feel ashamed.
The restaurant of the Rhine Cafe is quite large, with multiple dining places scattered and distributed, and the central area is a pick-up area, which is not small. The seafood stall offers a wide variety of seafood, including tiger crab, stone crab, pike crab, mussel, Thai shrimp, clams, snow crab legs, jade snails, etc., while fried fish segments such as fried salmon are served in addition to cold seafood. However, although there are many types of seafood, the quality is not satisfactory, and most of the freshwater sea crabs that are put on the shelves in turn, such as tiger crabs, stone crabs, and pike crabs, are scattered and lack of meat.
Café Rheinland is not stingy when it comes to seafood, and the same is true for Japanese sashimi, with salmon, tuna, sea bream, roe roe, vinegared herring, arctic shell skirt and sweet shrimp. In addition to meat rolls, meatballs, and vegetables similar to other buffet restaurants, there are three types of fish fillets, such as sea bass fillets and dragon fish fillets, as well as a variety of raw and cold seafood such as swan egg shellfish, scallops, mussels, snails, razor clams, clams, and shrimp. During the crayfish season, most of the other buffet restaurants offer three or two different flavors of crayfish, and the supply is very limited, but Rhine Cafe wins by volume, with five flavors, including thirteen spices, southern milk, chilled, spicy and salt and pepper, which are continuously available in unlimited quantities. However, the "crowd tactics" will inevitably make all kinds of aquatic products greatly reduced in quality, such as swan eggs and scallops, coarse meat, razor clams are full of fine sand, and crayfish also have a lot of black shells and empty gills, and the freshness is uneven.
Teppanyaki and barbecue stalls are popular stalls in the restaurant, which take turns serving steak, lamb chops, grilled cuttlefish, lamb skewers, grilled shrimp and grilled yellow croaker, all of which are freshly made and taken. The noodle stall serves traditional Suzhou noodles such as Ao Stove Noodles, the soup taste is acceptable, the noodle texture is average, the toppings are traditional, and the taste is mostly sweet. Cold dishes are mainly Chinese-style, there are only a few kinds of cold salad, and the rest of the Chinese and Western hot dishes are of mediocre quality, Western-style barbecue meat is mostly pre-made, warm lamp insulation, there are many categories, and the stalls of Chinese dishes are not small, but they are featureless and unpopular.
Seafood and sashimi can raise the price of a buffet, while desserts represent the style of a buffet restaurant. The Rhine Cafe is a bit rough in terms of desserts, and it is difficult to convince people in terms of both appearance and taste. However, the ice cream station is full of sincerity, and the ice cream is full of gummies, candy bars and chocolate chips, which is very attractive for children. In addition, the main food section of the restaurant has the hotel's signature garden buns, vegetable and meat buns, all of which are sweet to suit the taste of Sioux City, and these two buns and some of the desserts in the restaurant can be purchased separately from the cake shop outside the hotel.
The Rheinland Café is located on the first floor of the New Town Garden Hotel, with a large hall with many seats, sufficient table spacing, and a spacious layout. The restaurant is mostly a family meal, and there are many diners with their families, and the environment is slightly noisy. The service staff is sufficient, but the hall has a large number of customers, and basically does not take the initiative to remove bone dishes for diners. The box is equipped with an exclusive waiter, and the service is in place. The buffet at Metro Garden Hotel is very popular, so it is recommended to reserve seats in advance, and it is recommended to reserve private rooms more than 1 day in advance. The price of the restaurant lunch buffet is 170.2 yuan/person, and the price of the dinner buffet is 250.7 yuan/person, and it is recommended to pay through the group purchase channel or the official WeChat purchase coupon, and the price of lunch and dinner is 128 yuan/person and 188 yuan/person respectively. There are few parking spaces in the hotel, so you need to enter early, and there is a 4-hour free parking coupon for dining.
