2020 is destined to be an extraordinary year, it has affected the lives of people all over the world, but also affected the development of many industries, the catering industry in the past five months, has been unprecedented impact, many restaurants insist on closing their doors. However, there are also some stores that are bucking the trend and attracting long-awaited diners with better dishes, services, and prices, such as the restaurant I'm going to talk about today. I have long heard from a friend that there is a seafood buffet restaurant located in the west of Hangzhou that is very popular, so I made a special trip to let us see what he has to do.

The restaurant, called Amos Garden Seafood BBQ Hot Pot Buffet, is located in the first phase of Xixi Impression City at the intersection of Tianmushan Road and Wuchang Avenue in Yuhang District, Hangzhou, directly opposite Xixi Wetland (Hongyuan). Although this shop is some distance from downtown Hangzhou, the traffic is still very convenient, and the Xixi Impression City is still relatively lively, which can be bought, played and eaten. The restaurant is located in the center of the third floor of Xixi Impression City, and the eye-catching billboard at the door is easy to find.
If you say that in the past two years, when you go to a restaurant in Hangzhou to eat, queuing up is a very normal thing, but this year to queue up for dinner, it is not common. But as soon as I arrived at the restaurant, I saw two long rows of chairs at the door full of queues of diners. In terms of meal prices, the buffet price (Chinese food) on a group is 109 yuan per person, and (dinner) is 129 yuan per person. To be honest, the price of seafood buffets is really not expensive, of course, it depends on the quality of seafood and the number of dishes.
As soon as you enter the restaurant, you are greeted by a variety of seafood neatly arranged, which looks very fresh. There are 20 cm long prawns, fleshy Argentine red shrimp, fresh abalone, deep-sea red crab feet, tiger crabs, cuttlefish, oysters, sea rainbows, hairy crabs, scallops, a variety of snails, etc., and I was most surprised that there were starfish. To be honest, these seafood alone are enough for people who can eat it.
As we all know, seafood pays attention to a fresh, how the quality of seafood in a shop, come and taste his sashimi to know. Salmon, tuna, mud carp, squid, cuttlefish, crab legs and other meats are bright in color, soft and tender and firm in taste, and the supply is very sufficient, so you can eat it with confidence. In addition, the sushi here is also well done, so you can satisfy the mouth that wants to eat Japanese food.
The décor throughout the restaurant is stylish, minimalist and atmospheric, similar in style to that of a star hotel. In terms of dishes, in addition to a variety of seafood sashimi, the variety of cooked food here is also quite rich. A variety of meat, fish, Hangzhou-style snacks, appetizers, etc., to meet the needs of different groups of people. The hot dishes are generally fresh and taste good.
This restaurant has a variety of ways to eat, in addition to sashimi, cooked vegetables, each table can also be self-service barbecue and hot pot, such a configuration, can be described as quite comprehensive, here to eat a meal to meet the four ways of eating diners. This should also be one of the reasons why the restaurant is so popular.
The restaurant has a special barbecue and hot pot ingredient area, and there is a variety of meat, seafood, vegetables and snacks to choose from. Lamb, beef, pork belly, chicken wings, chicken thighs and other unlimited supplies, as long as you can eat, you can completely eat back.
Of course, if you don't want to do it yourself, you can also be done by the staff, and oysters, scallops, beef and lamb skewers, etc. are also available in unlimited quantities. However, due to the large number of diners, you have to queue up to eat. Personally, I feel that it is better to bake it myself, and I can grasp the taste more.
The configuration in terms of drinks and drinks is also quite powerful. Red wine is free to drink, which is already quite atmospheric, in addition to Japanese sake, a variety of beers, Sprite, Coke and other drinks and a variety of freshly squeezed juices. It is worth mentioning that there is even Haagen-Dazs ice cream here, to know that this ice cream is dozens of dollars, many children are rushing to ice cream, eat a few in one go.
Overall, ames Garden Seafood BBQ Cafeteria is a recommended restaurant with a comfortable environment, fresh ingredients, a wide variety of dishes and affordable prices.
