All you can eat in Canberra

2024 refresh: It’s been 3 years since I published this list, so it’s now time for a refresh. Here are some all you can eat deals around Canberra at the moment – but please remember to check with the restaurant itself for availability. In no particular order:

Yum Cha at Mrs Wang

Mrs Wang at Tiger Lane in Canberra Centre announced all you can eat yum cha on Fridays-Sundays. As at December 2024, it’s $59 per person and kids under 5 eat free.

Star Buffet

A couple of months ago, I had my first Star Buffet experiene at the Burns Club in Kambah (to the surprise of most of my friends). There’s hot roasts with gravy, chorizo, pork belly, roast duck, dumplings, noodles, honey chicken and similar Chinese dishes, there’s a sushi train, pasta, raw salmon, mussels, salads, soups, desserts, a chocolate fountain, soft serve machines and more. I took turns with Mr FPJ to look after our little one, and as we were late to the sitting, we didn’t actually have much time to eat. But what I liked the most was the delicious roast duck and the Portuguese tarts!

The website states each sitting is limited to 90 minutes, but I’m not sure whether that’s strictly enforced. Weekday lunch for adults as at January 2024 is $23.80 while dinner is $32.80. Different rates apply for lunch/dinner/weekday/weekend. Drinks are not included but you can pay an extra $4.50 for bottomless soft drinks. Bookings are essential and you need to become a member of the club unless someone can sign you in.

Okami Japanese

Okami Japanese restaurant is open in Mawson and Braddon. There’s no self-serve buffet, instead you order from menu and everything is cooked to order. Yes you can keep ordering more dishes during your sitting. We had a pleasant Sunday lunch experience. Our booking was at 12 noon (when they open) so our food came out very quickly. Our favourites were the prawn gyoza, chicken katsu, sushi and sashimi platter (those thick slices of salmon!) seaweed salad, miso steak and green tea taiyaki. In my opinion, it’s by no means the best Japanese in Canberra but it’s good value for what you get if you can eat a lot.

As at January 2024, the price is $41.80 for adults, with discounted prices for seniors and kids. Children under 4 years eat for free.

You can book a table through their website. I liked that they actually read the notes in the booking form and sat us somewhere out of the way where we could put the pram.

The Promenade Cafe at the Hyatt

All you can eat wings at Bleachers

Bleachers Sports Bar in Civic has all you can eat wings for $25 every Wednesday from 12.00 – 9.00pm. I’ve not tried the wings but it seems like a pretty good deal!

Bottomless Pasta at Amici

Enjoy bottomless pasta for $30 every Tuesday evening at Amici Bar. There are two sittings available and bookings are essential. I believe there’s only one type of pasta dish available, but the dish changes each week so you could potentially go weekly. You can find the pasta of the week on Amici’s website.

Yum Cha at Oh No

All you can eat yum cha is held on the first Sunday of each month at Oh No at the Manuka shops. Fill out the little paper form to tick which items you want, and enjoy everything in a 90 minute seating. Get a little boozy with some cocktails while there.

Bottomless Mimosa’s at Chifley’s Bar & Grill (and gluten free)

This one is a little sneaky and not advertised heavily. You’ll need to keep an eye out on the Chifley’s Bar & Grill’s website (located in Hotel Kurrajong) for upcoming events. I attended a bottomless mimosa’s set menu lunch a couple of months ago where everything was gluten free including the self-serve dessert table buffet!
