How much does the Bird's Nest buffet cost a person
The price is 269 per person.
A lot of places in Beijing have buffets that are commonly around 200 yuan. The Bird's Nest is a place of special significance and a tourist attraction. When you go in to visit, you need to buy a ticket. If you have a meal, you can be sent in by the restaurant service staff, so you don't need to buy a separate ticket. 269 for one person is fine. It is said that you can get a better deal if there is a group buy.
How about the Bird's Nest Buffet Restaurant
The buffet restaurant is located on the third floor of the Bird's Nest. From the glass door next to it, you can walk directly to the grandstand and see the whole interior of the Bird's Nest. However, there is only one long corridor to move around, so you can't go straight down.
From the grandstand, you can look up to the sky. If it's night, it will be more beautiful with the stars. Still, it's a bit cold in winter in this location, so make sure to wear a jacket.
Through a glass door, it was hot and warm inside. At six o'clock, as night falls, many diners enter and begin to savor the dinner buffet.
On one side are some live shrimps, scallops, shellfish and other fresh seafood, which can be fished out by the diners themselves or by the service staff, put on a plate and handed to the staff next to them. They can be taken away and eaten after cooking, which is convenient, fresh and healthy.
Near the glass window, a staff member is slicing salmon, a particularly large type of salmon, by the chef's hand, and putting it on a plate. Diners can take it away whenever they want, and there's a dipping sauce on the table so you can eat it yourself. The salmon was so tender, I ate several plates.
The Golden Shark's Fin Frozen Soup was flavorful, golden in color and smooth with the aroma of shark's fin. It was good except that it was a bit salty for me. Usually, I rarely make it at home. It's good to try it at the cafeteria.
The hairy crab and grilled lobster are limited, and a meal ticket allows you to choose the same between the two. But I don't really like this one, I don't think it appeals to me as much as those fresh shrimp or shellfish or salmon.
The small abalone lo mein was served by the wait staff in a small portion and placed on the table. It can be taken at any time and the portion is small enough to savor.
The cold table also had some sushi and cold shrimp or shellfish that were chilled. I found it a bit cold, but I personally didn't like it. But there were also a lot of diners eating and everyone has different tastes. The good thing about a buffet is that you get what you want.
On the other side was the vegetable salad. Vegetables are cut and put into containers at different times. The small bowl next to it has different flavors of sauces and dressings to choose from.
The teppan area next to it also has some freshly fried sea fish. Because it's freshly fried and ready to go, there is a wait and you often encounter a queue of customers. In fact, there is no need to queue because it is always fried, so you can't eat it this time. Go get it next time.
Besides fried fish, there are also fried dumplings, fried sausages, fried chicken wings and so on. Also in the fried section are fried taro balls, chicken popcorn, and French fries, all favorites of kids.
The steaming area has a variety of lovely pastries, such as kids' favorite pork buns, steamed coarse grains, steamed papaya milk, steamed buns, steamed dumplings, garlic dried scallops, and so on. The following are always heated and can be taken at any time. The food is all hot.
There are also many kinds of desserts, such as egg tarts, mousse cakes, cheesecakes, waffles, donuts, mango pudding, and so on. Some desserts are good after a full meal.
The fruit drink section also has a chocolate fountain. Take a fruit, put it in the chocolate fountain, cover it with chocolate, and then put it in ice water to freeze and set. This is a chocolate covered fruit. A few kids were playing with the skin very high next to it, eating and playing. There weren't many types of juice drinks, but there was still plenty of alcohol. I took my kids there and couldn't drink. Seeing the diners next to me, they frequently came over to get their drinks, which were probably unlimited.
In fact, as a memorable place and famous tourist attraction in Beijing, the price of the buffet here is still acceptable, and the food here is rich and flavorful!
