In most cities, "buffet" is a dirty word. It implies lukewarm trays of mystery pasta and sad salads. In Bangkok, the buffet is a religion. Here, "All You Can Eat" means river prawns grilled to order, Wagyu boat noodles, truffle soup stations, and sashimi flown in from Japan that morning.
This is the 2026 Guide to Bangkok’s Buffet Elite. These are not cheap eats. These are culinary marathons designed for special occasions, Sunday rituals, and anyone who wants to eat like a king for three hours straight.

Quick Links
Copper Beyond Buffet Gaysorn Amarin (Chit Lom) & The Sense (Pinklao)

Copper changed the game entirely. They introduced the concept of "Fine Dining Buffet"—where dishes are plated beautifully and brought to your table, rather than you fighting for tongs at a trough. The sheer quality of the ingredients (A5 Wagyu, Truffle, Scallops) is unmatched for the price.
The new Gaysorn Amarin branch is stunning, but getting a table requires camping on their booking site the moment slots open.
Best For: Anniversaries, birthdays, and impressing foodies.
Order This: The legendary Truffle Soup (you will order three) and the Australian Wagyu Steak.
Espresso InterContinental Bangkok (Chit Lom)

If you want the classic "Grand Hotel Buffet" experience, this is the gold standard. Espresso is famous for its Sunday Brunch and Friday/Saturday seafood nights. We are talking about a mountain of Alaskan King Crab, river prawns grilled live, and a foie gras station.
It feels expensive, the service is impeccable, and the live jazz band adds that old-world Bangkok glamour.
Best For: Family gatherings where Grandpa pays.
Order This: Grilled River Prawns (unlimited!) and the Wagyu Boat Noodles.
Ventisi Centara Grand at CentralWorld

Located on the 24th floor with sweeping views of the city, Ventisi is a hybrid Italian-Thai buffet that goes hard on Friday nights. Their "Wagyu Edition" buffet is legendary among expats. It’s a carnival of beef: tartare, roasted joints, grilled steaks, and stews.
It’s vibrant, modern, and located right in the middle of the shopping district, making it the perfect post-mall reward.
Best For: Meat lovers and Friday night dinners.
Order This: The Wagyu Rossini and Charred Short Ribs.
Bangkok Attitude. 100% Cotton.
Witty, sarcastic designs for the Bangkok survivor. Better than elephant pants.
Shop The Collection →Goji Kitchen + Bar Marriott Marquis (Sukhumvit 22)

Goji is massive. It feels less like a restaurant and more like an upscale international food market. They have specialized chefs for everything—a Chinese dim sum master, an Indian curry expert, and a grill team handling giant cuts of meat.
The variety here is overwhelming in the best way possible. You can have a perfect Som Tum followed by a slice of Prime Rib without moving your feet.
Best For: Big groups where everyone wants something different.
Order This: The Crispy Pork Belly (legendary) and the Oysters.
Wisdom International Siam Paragon / Mega Bangna
Wisdom is the "Accessible Luxury" king. Located in major malls like Paragon, it offers a tablet-ordering system where fine-dining style dishes are brought to you. No walking around, no queues at the station.
The menu is vast, covering Thai, Japanese, Western, and Chinese. It’s highly efficient and the plating is Instagram-ready.
Best For: A luxurious break in the middle of a shopping spree.
Order This: The Wagyu Sushi and Truffle Croissant.
Where: Siam Paragon (4th Floor)
Bangkok Balcony Baiyoke Sky Hotel (81st Floor)
Is the food the best in Bangkok? Honestly, no. It's decent, but not Copper level. But you don't come here just for the prawns; you come for the view. Dining open-air on the 81st floor offers a perspective of the city that is unmatched.
It’s the ultimate "tourist" experience that is actually worth doing once, especially if you have visitors in town.
Best For: The view. And unlimited grilled seafood.
The Vibe: Windy, high-up, and spectacular at sunset.
FAQ Buffet Tactics
Is there a time limit?
At mall buffets like Copper and Wisdom, yes—usually 2 hours strict. At hotel buffets like Espresso or Goji, you often have the table for the entire lunch or dinner service (3-4 hours).
What is the price range?
Premium buffets in Bangkok are an investment. Expect to pay between 1,500 and 3,500 THB++ per person depending on the package (lobster/alcohol inclusions raise the price).
Do I need to book?
For Copper, you must book weeks in advance via Line. For hotel buffets, booking a few days ahead is usually sufficient, but Sunday Brunch fills up fast.
