World's MOST "Over The Top Buffet"?! All you can eat LOBSTER & “Exotic Meat” Buffet in New Zealand

[@Robert-uq5ew]

He kept things positive, but i got the vibe that the buffet was a disappointment for him.

[@UltimateGamerCC]

definitely a unique and tasty buffet, but probably didnt measure up to his expectations, considering the pricing and the reserve nature of the buffet.

[@nervousbabbs2769]

Yeah I wouldn't eat anything else after seeing undercooked meat.. My traumatic experience with food poisoning outweighs my want for buffets.

[@UltimateGamerCC]

@@nervousbabbs2769 undercooked and unsafe to eat are two different things.

[@andic8287]

@@UltimateGamerCCif you’ve had a violent bout of food poisoning they can seem like the same thing but they didn’t actually say it was unsafe.

[@TRMV]

Really, he seemed to really enjoy it with the exception of 2 dishes.

[@MsHGH1]

My company took us all to this buffet for our Christmas function. The variety and quality of food was amazing and we all ate ourselves silly! Delicious!

[@SmallGuy845]

For being "Over the top" it's oddly deserted. Either someone is excited or they keep the AC on blast.

[@whiterabit]

Mike telling us they called him to be promoted other wise they would give his table away and all the tables behind him are empty all video

[@justfood531]

That is why i like to see strictly dumpling video more then other food videos… nice or not nice still have his way of showing n presentation 👍👍👍

I would happily take him around Auckland. I haven't personally been to Cordis but heard good things about there, shame it looked a bit average.. so many good places as you say though.

[@JADALEIGH08]

Yessss, agree. The places he's going too are not the best of what we have to offer

[@JADALEIGH08]

Sadly cordis is over-rated

[@IamnotJokic]

It’s just NZ man. Really lacking over here compared to culinary hubs like Japan, Korea, or Europe.

[@oneeye5837]

Love your honesty💯

[@Tyrie3790]

I’ve never seen seafood look so dry before you can tell he tried but he wasn’t selling anybody on this buffet not to mention the tables behind him were empty the whole video

[@frankieduncan1188]

I’m from New Zealand this is so embarrassing cause we really do have some great restaurants here 😂 but where he went to so up North he needs to go back to Auckland to eat even his Rotorua trip was a disappointment the hāngi he ate isn’t traditional we as Māori don’t make hāngi like that

[@Changelingheart]

I thought they said there are 2 floors tho... And Mike likes to choose deserted areas and times to eat bc he's always recording. Tho he did mention how empty the place was.

[@kiwigsxr1000k3]

Tha was a sad representation of NZ seafood. Where is the crayfish, kina , paua and bluff oysters???? as a Kiwi I felt embarrassed watching this. Hope your Maori experience is a good one Mike. Traditional hangi is awesome.

[@Koicee8]

This buffet had so much potential to be great.
