A big thank you to @Vessi for sponsoring this video.
Finally, this has got to be the best seafood luxury buffet here in Australia and dare I say, this may actually take top spot at their buffet counterparts out in Las Vegas! Luxury and high end dishes served up at the many stations; most notably the seafood station! Fresh lobsters, Morton Bay Bugs, King Crab, Oysters, Scallops... you name it, they have it! And if chilled seafood isn't to your liking? The chefs at the Epicurean can whip up fresh-from-the-kitchen creations that are steaming hot and doused on butter and garlic.
But don't fill up on the seafood as the carvery and roasts are second to none! The best lamb I've ever had, a delectable succulent roast, and even a roast of kangaroo bouncing with flavour. A great and authentic Asian station comes next with the bbq and an amazing noodle station; and as tempting as it is to fill up there, I recommend watching and pacing your email because the dessert station is one not to miss! A very enjoyable buffet!

Your aunt May is too cute with her picture taking😊! Great post Tim, another great buffet.
Thank you so much, and I kind of exaggerated the picture taking with the editing😃
Another wonderful buffet experience. The food was plentiful and there was so much variety. Some people commented that it was pricey but you got more than 130 dollars worth of food. Thanks,Tim. I’m elderly and in a wheelchair. I love watching your videos because I feel as though I am tagging along. 👍🏻🌹👍🏻
Thank you so much for taking the time to reach out! Really grateful to get to connect with everyone here. You’re right, at $130 considering all the seafood and meats you get, it is quite good value. Still high, but a lot of value for sure.
Thanks Tim for sharing Sydney's buffet, I think it's pricey but considering slot of seafood provided there. May consider to try when I'm down in Sydney. Australia might be too warm for you coming from Vancouver...😊 Yes, Lamb chops in Australia is really delicious so glad you've tried some. Cheerio, enjoy your stay...
Tim, you outdid yourself with this buffet! Congratulations on reaching 130 k followers. We all love to travel with you! ❤❤❤
The buffet was quite exceptional! Probably the best I’ve had and had $130 US, it is pretty good value compared to even those of Las Vegas
Dudes the best he's way better than Weise or Chan they got good content but Lee has the best so far.
Extraordinary video...glad you had company to join you this evening for a spectacular dinner 👍...food looked delicious...safe travels and God Bless 😘❤🤗
Thank you so much, Jade! The seafood in Australia is superb
Wow another spectacular video you make my weekend thank you tim lee 🧐😋👍🏻👏👏🆒
Thank you so much and a very happy weekend to you and yours🙏
I really love going on your buffet journeys with you especially for the seafood! They all look so good that I feel as if I'm enjoying every bite with you. 😋
Wow looks great ! Love wstching all your travels !😊
Thank you so much and I hope this gives a little bit of inspiration to visit Australia!
What an amazing feast, Tim!! Thank you for two videos in one weekend!
Thank you so much and it was a lot of eating😂
Love It Tim! I Watch Always Great Job Greetings From Houston TX
Thank you so much and really enjoyed the time in Houston when I was there. Amazing food and amazing people.
Tim you have taken me all over the world for food! thank you for all this wonderful content!
Thank you so much and really grateful to get to visit and travel. Really great to see the family.
Wow!! Can't wait to check this place out!!
Would highly recommend it if you’re visiting.
It’s so good that you gave family here in Australia, I guess you’d be able to visit whenever you can which is great. That buffet is fabulous 😻 I’m in Melbourne but I want to go visit this one for sure.
Really enjoyed Sydney and Melbourne, but I think the food in Melbourne wins over just a tad. Love the coffee… Been having something called magic style.😋
Absolutely amazing!!!! Buffet
I love watching your videos tim, and you are so polite and curtious with the staff ❤❤❤
It was a great experience. The servers and the host there were such good sports!
Wonderful video Tim.
Thank you so much! Such a treat to enjoy a nice buffet with such great company😃
Congrats on 130k!
Thank you so much! Really grateful to be part of this community😃
Hi Tim, lovely to see you visit Australia 🦘
Really grateful to get to make the journey. Lots of good food and more importantly great to see the family.
I am absolutely going crazy over this buffet.If I ever visit my many relatives in different parts of Australia.I’m definitely going to pay this place a visit.
Lovely video. Thank you for being so gracious and classy.
Thank you so much for your kind comment! Can I quote you for future reference?😉
@@TimLeeLetsGo Absolutely.
Nice to enjoy with your family.
It was a very nice evening!
Always look forward to your videos Tim
Thank you so much🙏
Hi to aunt May and Ben, it looks like you guys really enjoyed the food😊
It was a fantastic evening and I’ll make sure to send them your greetings
You made another fantastic video! ❤❤❤
Thank you so much for your kind comment and it was quite an enjoyable experience
I’m glad I get to travel with you Tim Lee and try all the things that you eat 😂😊❤
If you get a chance, I would highly recommend Australia. A wonderful experience.
the seafood looks beyond amazing!
It's certainly one of the best seafood buffets I've ever had😋
@@TimLeeLetsGo congrats on over 130k subs! and i love how you always take the time to reply to everyone.. keep up the great work. :-)
Another great Buffet that you shared in this video. Seafood and meat selection was extensive. Plus them cooking up the seafood for you was above and beyond.
The class was quite high, but if you convert that into American dollars, it actually is better than a lot of the Vegas Buffet
Another great video beautiful the food looked amazing and your family was a delight love your videos ❤
Thank you so much and it was great to see the family as well 😃
Guess I need to go there too when I visit Sydney later this year
Wishing you an amazing trip in advance! I would highly recommend a visit here
I watch these whilst having food. Current in an ED recovery and it really helps to feel like youre eating with somebody. So, thank you!
Maybe watching the buffetts with ED isn't good , I tens to get really hungry watching the buffetts video especially.
Love your videos. Thank you for posting them
Thank you so much and really grateful to get to visit and share these great destinations
Lovely to enjoy this amazing buffet with your family.
Aunt may and cousin Ben made a good Buffet great
@@TimLeeLetsGo true!
Bonza living the dream 😂😂❤😂😂❤😂😂❤😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Love the way you doing is very gentle putting on the plate then make it look very fancy very neat! 😂😂 but serious very good! And also wow nice place there. Thank you Tim Lee 💜
Thank you so much! A very fun experience and is actually a lot more fun than filming
Love your telling about the food, so simple and fun love your stories🤩🤘🏼🥂
Thank you so much much🙏
Australia is definitely on my bucket list. 😮
I would highly recommend a visit if you get the chance! Go hungry!
Tim….you are such an amazing storyteller. Period. Don’t change a thing and keep bringing these amazing vlogs. You have the special touch of bringing in YOUR audience!!! Keep owning your craft!!! 🎉
Thank you so much for your kind comment. A lot of fun filming🙂
Really, storyteller it's annoying..he's so slow
@@lilibethcowen2994Then why do you obviously watch many of @TimLeeLetsGo videos???? Step off Lil Bit!
Thoroughly enjoyed this. You've sold me, and I'll add it to my bucket list.
I hope you get a chance to visit and apparently the buffet actually costs less. I went on a holiday and on a weekend which significantly increases the pricing in Austratlia.
Barrangaroo, cousin to kangaroo🤣😂 Only you could get away with it Tim !
Beautiful restaurant! ❤
They did such an amazing job. They certainly take the Crown for buffets.
Wow, 😍 one of the best food videos. Tim is a great presenter and video creator.
Thank you Tim 🙏, and welcome to Sydney where I live.
You are very kind! You live in such an amazing city and really enjoying Sydney… Although the humidity is getting to me a bit😉
Bucket list!
Would highly recommend it!
So glad you enjoyed Epicurean Tim! We went for first time in January and thoroughly enjoyed it!
It is quite a sight! We did end up paying quite a bit more because it was the holidays. I’m just curious if it was the same dishes that was served regardless of holidays and special events
@@TimLeeLetsGo most of the dishes you showed on your visit seems to be the same as the time we went - which was a non-special weekday dinner! I have to say i wish I had more stomach room to try everything!! My family did try the kangaroo and said was delish 😍 your cooked seafood plate looked beautiful 🤩
Don’t forget Brisbane has some great food Tim , love your videos dude , keep up the great work :)
Got a plan to see more of Australia… Just a bit limited for vacation time and all the family to see
All that food looked delicious too:)
It seems like anywhere in australia, there's a high level of quality of the food and the preparation. Really enjoyable
Australia made the best new york baked cheese cake!!! 😍😍😍
It was absolutely delicious. Yes, the best New York cheesecake is from Australia.😉
thanks 😁😁😁
🙏
Another fantastic buffet, I wish I was there 😁
I would highly recommend if you happen to be visiting. I could surely go for the Buffet right about now as well.
Incredible !! I think I will move to Australia immediately. So envious, Tim, but thanks for taking me along. Wow.
It was quite an incredible experience! And the good news is that it’s actually cheaper. I went during a holiday and a weekend which incurred significant charges
Hi Tim I been following your videos and you always find good places to eat 👍
Thank you so much and this was from the wisdom of the crowds from TH-cam 😃
If you are back in town let’s meet and chat about foods 😊
Tim another video to add to your collection of wonderful! Sorry no potatoe salad. Tim pls take the garnish out of the drink before you sip it. Tks for all your time and effort. Much appreciated.
You know, that’s some thing I’ve never done… To take the garnish off the drinks. Never occurred to me as they make it look so impressive
Hi tim great video wow that was a lot of food!! Looked really good especially the lamb kinda funny when I see you eating hot noodles when you have a sweaty forehead 😅 no offense tim thank you so much for sharing your experience with us
Yes,you made it 🤤🥰🥹!
It was quite a spectacular buffet and definitely worth the visit and journey
A very awesome looking buffet. Cheers, Tim and God Bless! 👍🏻👍🏻✌️🇨🇦
Thank you so much and it was a great experience. It rivals that of its counterpart in Vegas
I would love to try kangaroo…”bouncing with flavours” made me lool. Omg. Im
discovering new foods. Thank you for another great video!!
Thank you so much and I’m sometimes perplexed at some of the things I say in the videos😆
Looks delicious
Really enjoyable Buffet and I would certainly love to go back… Just got to save up first
Those stairs are RIDICULOUS!
It’s a bit of a hazard as you are so focussed on looking up that you may miss your step😂
Of course, there is the option to take one of the 6 sets of lifts instead.
I'm gonna say it, Moreton bay bugs are the best eating crustacean on the face of the earth. Best served hot cooked from green (raw - not steamed first) over the grill, hot plate or heavy pan in copious amounts of garlic butter.
Good to see NZ Green Lipped Mussels front and centre !!!!
Really enjoy all the great seafood in Australia… One regret is not getting to visit New Zealand
Impressive! You are so adventurous to have tried the kangaroo meat. I couldn't have done that. My favorites were the seafood and desserts. Looking forward to your next video!
The seafood was certainly exceptional. It was nice to try the different types of foods and glad that they had some adventurous options there too
Fancy, nice!
They really know how to put on a nice Buffet!
For crying out loud, Tim! Just put the whole sushi in your mouth! Nigiri is meant to be all-in-one bites! Please! I can't believe you bit the tamago in half😂
Yeah… Many people have commented🤦♂️😉
Bonza living the dream 😂😂❤😂😂❤😂😂❤😂😂😂😂😂😂
Really glad to make the best use out of the vacation time!
You look good, Tim! May all be well with you and yours! Bonnie
Thank you so much, Bonnie! And all the best to you and yours
I love Aunt May! She reminds me of me, lol
It was a great meal, made even better with aunt May and cousin Ben
So Tim... What happens when you hit the time limit... Do they actually ask you to leave? Do they let you finish up? That's a lot of money to spend to get kicked out. Just curious. Thank you again for letting us travel and dine with you! ❤
Would be very interesting to know how they tell you that time is over
That would be so disappointing, especially spending half the time deciding and picking out your food. :(
Yes they will ask you to leave. Most buffet in Australia has time limit and they inform you that beforehand.
The chinese will screw you any way they can . They will have plenty of Farmed Salmon and Talapia farmed Shrimp and cheap rice.@kerry3546
This guy will eat a salmon before Tuna. Salmon are basically dog food in Alaska where these are from.
EXCELLENT!👍👍👍👍👍😊
❤️
Tim, I would love to see you and Janice Fung have a meal together. She's my fave Aussie foodie.
Thanks for showing us this fab buffet...truly the finest to date. I would love to try a Morton Bay bug one day. Yum! 😋👍👍
It was quite a nice experience and really grateful because I’ve been getting all the tips from her TH-cam channel
Just thought - you often do a two-by-two. So it's a Tim Lee Noah Ark plate. "Bouncing with flavor", good one! That was a crazy huge buffet. Makes me want to go down under. Happy Sunday from Oregon. Your Aunt was cute.
Thank you so much for your kind comment and will pass that along to my aunt. It was a very extravagant buffet and they did a fantastic job. Behind the scenes, the 2x2 is in case I make an accident when filming the first one, 😉
Ben on his fifth trip to the buffet eating good :)
So glad that cousin Ben was there!
The lobster and sushi look good.
The lobster in Australia is so meaty! Would highly recommend it if you are visiting.
@@TimLeeLetsGo I don’t think I’ll be flying to Australia with bad insomnia.
$200 Lobster Seafood Feast...... i thought Queen Mary's and Cafe Sierra was Pricey
🤠🤠
$200 AUD = $130 USD
Oh, it’s actually about $130 when converted into US. The American dollar goes a lot farther in Australia and considering all the great seafood and meat options, it is quite good value.
Honestly, how do you get ready for the buffets? Skip eating for a couple of days? Even if Tim didn’t feel stuffed after this buffet, I felt over stuffed after watching the video. Great food and service, what a treat!
It’s a bit of practice… And I don’t eat like this every day. One thing that may not be apparent in the videos is that the actual dining experience takes a long time, much longer than we think.😉
I remember Mike Chen at this buffet. Looks fantastic.
I got a check that video out! Really enjoy his videos
@@TimLeeLetsGo He's really good. You both have great personalities but are different. I watch all of both of your videos. You're so chill and friendly. Getting to know the employees names really impresses me and as a person in the service industry that impresses me. Thanks for the good content.
Nice!
❤️
So nice to see your family. Did you say plump??? Oh goodness no. You look handsome as ever. Love your haircut too. Once again, you are always so polite and kind to the staff which warms my heart. I must be the oddball here, although the food looks delicious and prepared meticulously, it is food that I don’t think I would ever eat. Hard to believe because I truly am plump. Thank you for the wonderful video. GOD bless and safe travels. Looking forward to more amazing videos.
Thank you so much for your kind comment… It’s a lot of food and really enjoyable
Hi Tim….. you spoke of the excellent rice pot you ate somewhere. Where, exactly, please? I’d love to try it. I’m so thrilled you’ve had a great time in Oz, visiting your family and eating delicious food! I’ll be in Vancouver in August. Hope to bump into you! ❤
Oh, that was at the Westfield shopping center at the Chatswood area. I'll leave that in the video description as well shortly
@@TimLeeLetsGo great! Thanks so much.
Bonza living the dream 😂😂❤😂❤❤😂😂😂❤😂😂😂I 😂
Oh, just grateful to get some time off to visit some family and enjoy a nice meal
Hello Tim Awesome video
Those Morton Bay Bugs
In Asia they are known as Slipper Lobsters
I have them every time I’m in Thailand
They are better than Canadian Lobsters 🦞
In my opinion
I really like the Morton Bay bugs! They are certainly my favourite and will start looking for them in Asia. The next time I go.
Tim❤
🙏
I tried to be first. Oh well, I still got to watch another great video. You seem so polite. Are you the cook in your household?
Thank you so much and yes, I do like to cook, but I do a lot of consuming as well😉
Well done Tim. This buffet is not meant for an average wage earner. You presented it very well but as usual you have to say nice things about the food. Using barramundi fish for such an elegant restaurant has down played it's uniqueness. I thought they would have a better choice like coral trout. Anyway the barramundi looks over cooked. Thanks for the video.
I have to go to Australia. These buffets are like nothing I've seen in the States. That buffet looks magnificent. And only 132 USD!
Considering the amount of seafood and high-quality of the meats, it was quite worth it
Suggest you head to Singapore hotels for their buffets, forget Australia.
Nice video! It's not normally $200AU, this is Easter public holiday pricing. It's normally Monday - Thursday $135AUD, Friday - Saturday $155AUD, Sunday $145AUD.
It is interesting about the different pricing. I’m curious to know if they offer different dishes on these holiday buffets then on a regular dinner buffet.
Hurry Tim, you need a pavlova!!!
Was that a proper Pavlova had at the buffet?
@@TimLeeLetsGo
Oh my goodness that was Not a proper pavlova at all!! Pavlovas should be round, crunchy on the outside, marshmallowy on the inside, then Real whipped cream, then the fruit sits on top. I’ve had them fancy but your real basic pavlova is topped with strawberries passion fruit bananas kiwee fruit. No chocolate syrup. This way all the flavours get happy together. Next trip Tim because I know you like your sweets. 😃
Tim, you would be tough if you hopped around like a roo.😁😀
Apparently, there are 1.4 million Chinese Australians by ancestry, in comparison, Canada has 1.7 million. Australia has 1/3 less total population though.
Thanks for the stats! I did notice that the Asian population was a little bit higher in Australia
I'm curious as to why you decided not to get the mussels because there were no tongs. With all the buffets and public foods you eat, what is your protocol for food safety?
Good question! I think there were too many other items to choose from as I can see down the line. Didn’t mind using the hands for the shellfish
Fair dinkum unbelievable that 😂😂❤😂😂❤😂😂😂❤😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Do you need to book for the buffet ? Thanks
Yes, I would highly recommend it because I had to book a few weeks in advance
Don't forget a good brown gravy when you have some potatoes?🤔🤗
That would’ve been delicious!
Tim Lee, how divine!, but you skipped those beautiful plump mussels and fresh oysters!, and what about the yum cha!!, I love the pavalova and dessert, didn't like the the whipped egg in the drink, the meat/lamb was way too rare for my liking, where's the ☕ coffee, ??, and just wandering, do they have lifts to get up there?, just wandering, don't forget to try and visit Adelaide SA, happy eating**😋🤪😜😛😉🦞🦘🌻☕😘**
Thank you so much and would love to visit Adelaide one day, just very limited amount of time with the family. The dishes were incredible and should have gone for the muscles and oysters next time. Just gotta save up in terms of room and wallet😉
“Barangaroo is named after a powerful Cammeraygal leader of the Eora Nation at the time of European colonisation. Barangaroo, the Cammeraygal woman from whom Barangaroo the place takes its name, was a considerable influence in the days of the early European colony.”
Thank you so much! Really appreciate the history and didn't realize that when I was visiting. Greatly appreciated
I always wonder how you choose who to blur and who not to? also why do you blur someone in one shot, but show their face in the next? Not meaning to be negative, just very curious!
It’s kind of best efforts… Generally, when someone’s looking directly into the camera, I’ll blur their face unless I’ve asked them for permission
Fair dinkum unbelievable 😂😂❤😂😂❤❤😂❤❤😂😂😂😂
🙏
You look wonderful! Handsome as ever. I like your hair.
Thank you so much for that very kind and rare comment.🙏🙏🙏
I can guarantee it’s not Australian Lamb, New Zealand lamb 100% . The Kangaroos Aussie though. Good video cheers Tim
Australia has more sheep than New Zealand...
So, Tim how can you explain how the time limit is enforced?
Very effectively! They just start putting away the food 😉. They do the buffets in two seating for dinner at set times so they clean up and reset the buffet after each seating
Everything looks very tasty. But at $100 USD per person, it's likely a once per year thing or a special celebration.
Tim, why don't you use a spoon when you struggle with chopsticks?🤔😋😁
It’s actually managing the camera and the utensils that make it difficult😉
Is it really goodTim
