Good price w 50% disc from eatigo. Generous flow of sashimi, raw oysters and cold cuts. Laksa was good... thick unami gravy, slightly salty (my personal view). Good spread of desserts which are not overwhelmingly sweet. Fantastic service from service staff. Warm and friendly crew. Will visit again.

Overall pretty satisfied with the buffet! Snow crab, oysters, prawns are good. Will be great if there's more fruit choices to pair with the matcha fondue

Went for sakura buffet The food is not nice , so so only. Tempura is always long q n I don't have chance to taste one . The sushi belt is creative but the sushi is not tasty and not much variety. BBQ lamb is tasteless , ramen is the worst ramen I ever taste ,tasteless. The desserts are not as good as Thai food buffet. Not similar to the photos shown in website page Disappointed. The only plus is the waiters n waitress are providing very good services .

Easily the best durian buffet in town — and at a very reasonable price, especially with Eatigo discounts! I’ve visited twice in July, and both times the MSW durians were top-notch — consistently creamy, rich, and fresh. This is way better than the so-called “Mega” durian buffets by you-know-who (“electric” City and some local stalls can’t compare). What really sets Food Capital apart is not just the durians but the full buffet experience — fresh oysters, sashimi, Beef Wellington, grilled meats, and a great spread of both Western and Asian dishes. Everything was delicious and beautifully prepared. The staff were friendly and attentive, which made the whole dining experience even more enjoyable. If you’re craving free-flow durians and quality food in one place, look no further — Food Capital is the place to go!

Food was great, we really enjoyed selection of Japanese cuisine especially the sashimi, meats and ramen live station. We celebrated a birthday there, and Bryan and Christina were very helpful in getting everything set up nicely on short notice. Thank you for the great service! 🥰
