    When the sign says free but then it immediately quotes a price. Probably an exit scam.

    • JHoliday on 02/12/2025 - 20:37

      Initially I thought the same thing, however maybe can put it down to a cultural / language thing (English is not their first language)

      However if you are likely to eat there more than 5 times in the month you come out ahead compared to paying the one-off pricing….

    • Springfield on 02/12/2025 - 21:27

      The famous investor Warren Buffett does not typically dine at food buffets, as his diet famously consists of simple, processed, and fast foods. He has stated that his diet is like that of a six-year-old, favoring hamburgers, ice cream, and Coke over fancy or lavish dining experiences.
      Buffett's favorite foods and eating habits include:
      McDonald's breakfast: His daily breakfast order from McDonald's is reportedly determined by how the stock market performed that day.
      Coca-Cola: He has been known to drink multiple cans of Coke a day and has even said he is "one-quarter Coca-Cola". His company, Berkshire Hathaway, also holds large investments in Coca-Cola.
      Dairy Queen: As the owner of Dairy Queen, Buffett often indulges in their ice cream and other treats.
      Steakhouse meals: For more formal dinners, he enjoys meals at his favorite Omaha steakhouse, Gorat's Steak House.

    Sounds like a plan to close down within 30 days. lol
    joking aside, I am sure they can limit your buffet time to 15 mins/day, and when they are full, they will keep you waiting, always push you back to the very end of the queue.

      I am sure they can limit your buffet time to 15 mins/day

      Their normal time limit for the lunch buffet is 60m. Looking through the google reviews (4.3/5), if this offer is exactly the same terms as the normal $35 lunch buffet, inc soft drinks and ice cream, it looks a decent offering for the money.

      If I worked in Brisbane city I'd give it a go.

  • econzune on 02/12/2025 - 20:57

    Interesting idea. Every day Thai for lunch. I wonder when I wouldn’t be able to take any more Thai food. Imagine every day Maccas/KFC/whatever rocks your boat. I know “fun food” is fun. But every day, no break?
    That being said, Thai for dinner tonight. But can’t find a provider for $5.30…

    • railspider on 03/12/2025 - 00:43

      I could see a world where you pay this price for a whole food court/multiple cuisines. Might actually make sense for the restaurants with enough subscribers.

    • Saura on 03/12/2025 - 04:00

    Wouldn't be eating that food every day.
    Reminds me of the grilled chip pass, sounds great on paper but end up forcing them down to get your value and obviously most people will only make it 3 or 4 days a week max.

        It may be delicious but it's usually oily, salty and sweet. You can't control how healthy it is from a restaurant as well. Consider it take out.

        There are obviously Thai dishes but my bet is most of this won't be (except the rice and vegetable). Given it's a buffet most will probably overeat as well.

        Btw Sam's kitchen in fortitude valley does a similar special weekdays for like $12.50 or something

  • VincentQQ on 02/12/2025 - 21:02

    3 days/week is the most I can force myself to do, also depending on what they serve. Let’s just say 3/week and 13/month. $12/meal isn’t bad, but not a bargain to me. $99 is probably more attractive.

        You usually have to join to get the free weeks, basically a fee wavier. But you can cancel before billing starts, they may ask questions but can't stop you if you insist. You do get the 4 weeks or whatever for $0 when no joining fee is also in effect.

    I would rather pay $35 for a one time in a while thai buffet then forced to have it everyday just to make the most of it for a whole month. You would get sick of it on the 5th day, I’m surprised that they came up with this idea lol. Thanks for the post anyways

    • Chris McMahon on 03/12/2025 - 00:08

      You would get sick of it on the 5th day,

      That's what they hope. No way they could make a profit if you dined there 30 times a month. But that gamble is at the heart of all buffets.

      Even an expensive $150/seat buffet can still lose money if you load up on wagyu steaks, lobster, and truffles.

    • G-Shock on 03/12/2025 - 05:44

      Exactly, there are plenty of those places like shabu house and much healthier options.

      I would suggest people go and get the buffet once there to test what it's like anyway, they already offer it for $35. Looks pretty westernised and fit that price I'd rather a hot pot place.

      You'd want to get there early when the bain maries are will fresh and full. I can't imagine them keeping up with demand but you never know.

      Check out Google maps for menu and pics.

    I would go there at close to 3PM and have a big meal and then skip or have small dinner.
    Their menu is not too small, so you definitely can rotate .

    I have seen people meal prep the same butter chicken and eat for the whole week , so this can't be that bad.
