"Food was good. Buffet is definitely a better option than ordering a la carte. Only thing is that due to the many customers in peak hours food usually runs out quicker than they are able to replenish."

"My father recommended to eat here instead of the usual fastfood resto. The price is reasonable and they have a big serving and good for 2-3 person. Infairness, I am not a fan of Mami but the mami here taste good. I also like the idea that they have a photo backdrop (which they change depending on the theme) at the front of the resto for the guest who love to take selfies and groupies."
