In 2017, Beijing's last "Golden Leopard" buffet restaurant officially closed, as if to mark the decline of the self-service chain brand. What is rare is that in Xi'an, a city where the buffet industry is not developed, there is still no shortage of high-end self-service chain brands taking root. Hanlai Port Buffet Restaurant is an important representative of this, and it is not an exaggeration to call it the best seafood buffet restaurant in Xi'an.
Self-service chains are often located next to shopping malls, and the Hanlai Harbour Buffet Restaurant has also adopted the same model, opening on the 6th floor of Hanshen Shopping Plaza, taking advantage of the strong traffic in the area to expand its business. The restaurant is invested and established by Hanlai Gourmet, the largest buffet restaurant chain in Taiwan, with a dining space of 1,850 square meters, providing 320 seats and 12 counter areas to display a variety of cuisines.
Grilled oysters and grilled prawns are the most popular seafood, with a plump size and plenty of meat, and long queues for pick-up. The Henlai Harbour Buffet Restaurant serves more seafood than most hotel-style buffet restaurants. The mussels, salmon and scallops are appetizing, and the salmon is white and tender, fluffy in the mouth and sweet in the aftertaste. In addition, the restaurant serves a variety of crabs, including pike crabs, snow crab legs, and tiger crabs, and many customers choose Hanlai Port for crab eating.
In addition to the seafood, the black pepper steak is even better than many hotel buffets, the black pepper sauce is just right, and the roast duck and white cut chicken in the roast meat area are more authentic. There are many types of mousse in the dessert area, and the chocolate cake is especially worth trying.
Hanlai Harbour is not perfect in terms of management, but compared to similar restaurants, the restaurant has stricter hygiene control. Speaking of the environment, the interiors are dominated by dark tones, elegant and unconventional, especially for couples to dine together.
