Take Your Appetite to Town at Buffet Town in Greenhills

No other dining concept has become part of the culinary mainstream and deeply integrated with the local dining experience as the buffet, and there's no sign of it slowing down. The perceived value and variety of the buffet keeps it top-of-mind when it comes to dining out, and seasoned and savvy diners are always looking for the perfect deal.

But Buffet Town redefines the concept for a refreshingly new dining experience...

And the number of buffet-themed establishments continues to grow, as a new entry in the buffet dining category joins the fray and changes things up offering buffet fans a refreshed and seamless experience at Buffet Town in Greenhills.
