Vietnam's Best & HIDDEN Luxury $180 Brunch Buffet! A 6HRs Lobster, King Crab, Champagne Feast!

I can't believe it! The Sunday Brunch Buffets in Vietnam just keeps getting better and better and going from strength to strength. I though the last buffet at the JW Cafe in Hanoi could not be beat, but that may be contested!
Here is Saigon, amidst a hot sweltering day that has become the norm, I was happy to find a hidden gem for a Sunday Brunch Buffet. Not being part of a large Hotel chain like the Marriotts and the Sheratons, can this luxury boutique hotel serve up an epic experience? I was intending to find out.
Sure enough, the either offering entitled the "Epic Sunday Brunch", it certainly lived up to the name! A 6 hour feast of free flowing champagne, premium wines, cocktails with a buffet showcasing the freshest seafoods of lobster and king crab and a kitchen preparing made to order favourites (fillet mignon, seared scallops, black cod, etc), this was an epic feast indeed! And if that wasn't enough, one can partake additional indulgences atop their roof top bar continuing this feast of free flowing cocktails and grilled treats with an epic sunset over Saigon signalling the end of the Sunday Brunch Feast and time for dinner.

Yo Tim, you're living the life man. 150 is my food budget for the whole month. 😂 At least I can live my life through you. Eat another lobster for me Tim.

[@TimLeeLetsGo]

This is certainly a place I would never have gone to myself if it wasn't to share these experiences on KZbin. Very grateful and humbled to get the chance to do this... (It is outrageously expensive 😬)

[@Kus208]

Which hotel DID u Stay?

[@donowens6527]

damn sorry to hear that

[@deborahczepiel7355]

Everything looks delicious and first class, and no time constraint so you can savor the goodness. Well worth the price.

[@vissitorsteve]

Wow! Such an incredibly bountiful buffet! Thank you so much for sharing it with us. And I also really appreciate how kind and courteous you are to the staff.

[@TimLeeLetsGo]

The servers and hosts there were just amazing and very fun and welcoming.

[@sudoym3484]

I always come back to this video. Must have seen this 10x already. My biggest motivation to visit Vietnam😅

[@Tomatohater64]

Just fabulous, Tim. Best seafood feast I've ever seen on KZbin. I'd be crawling back to my hotel room.

[@TimLeeLetsGo]

I was rolling back to the room 😉

[@KongKourtnie-bm7sw]

At least you have the energy to crawl back to your room..... they'll need to wheelbarrow me back to the room...lol

[@tomp9659]

Hi Tim, fellow Canadian from Vancouver. Love your channel. I was in HCMC last Dec and went to the Sheraton Hotel for the lobster buffet. It was an AMAZING feast for $110 Cdn. Hope you have a chance to experience that one too! I admire how much you can eat! How do you keep yourself so slim? Please share your secrets. Enjoy your adventure in VN.

[@susanboyce886]

[@SassyCindy]

You have the nicest smile and personality. I could watch you all day. Thank you for taking me to Vietnam and showing me a new culture. Looking forward to many, many more of your videos.

[@marycrosbie546]

I love the way you break down the tastes of the food. It really helps us to "taste" it as well.

[@wendyip2153]

Tim, you are so polite and courteous. Very nice to watch. I hope your channel grows x

[@zp3932]

Glad to see Vietnam developing a lot these years

[@barbielarson7719]

First time I watched someone go through the whole buffet. Looked delicious &the cocktails were an added bonus (You looked a little tipsy by the end Tim) I think the liquid courage helped you conquer your fear of heights on the see through bridge. A joy to watch you, thank you Ton

[@TimLeeLetsGo]

Thank you so much 😀. I think either the drinks or the heat got to me😉

[@lisasuzanne8474]

I just started getting into these kinds of videos a few days ago, and you are my favorite, Tim. It's actually hard to watch anybody else cuz I always compare them to you.

[@TimLeeLetsGo]

Thank you so much and really grateful to get to share some of these experience in places 🙂

[@tejastrojan]

Agreed !

[@YASTravelsEatsWell]

Tim: you went from the $8 to the $180 buffets in rapid form. This hotel puts out a super spread & worth the pricee if you drink a lot & spend the best part of the day at the hotel. I think over the 6 hours you can also use the pool! That desert plate you put together must have been 3,000 calories alone! Nice special brunch stop!

[@TimLeeLetsGo]

It was quite a nice spread but definitely a very expensive one.. they actually have different tiers that they offer, and the basic Buffet without the drinks is about half the cost. I'll make sure to put that in the video description... I just wish they would have told me there was a pool beforehand 🙂

[@Koicee8]

I love the completely different dining experience that we see here vs the last video. Awesome to see

[@TimLeeLetsGo]

Very different indeed and both very enjoyable in very different ways 😉

[@PursuingHeaven]

Tim, after watching the other one that was just a fraction of the cost but out in the heat and you looked so tired at the end, I am glad to see you took time to spoil yourself and enjoy some luxury - content great as usual :)

[@melissalambert7615]

I thought the same. Nice to see both buffets.

[@TimLeeLetsGo]

The heat was certainly intense but it was kind of fun to be fully immersed in the Vietnamese experience 🙂. Both were really enjoyable and very different ways 😉

[@aia1229]

Such a beautiful and scrumptious looking buffet! Thank you for showing it to us. Love all of your videos!!

[@TheSpritz0]

TIM- Since it costs an average of $100 for just one prepared crab here in Richmond B.C. it is STILL an incredible value to experience all the amazing choices in Vietnam!!!!

[@CebCebCeb]
