Café Kool is an upscale buffet restaurant located in Kowloon Shangri-La Hotel. This buffet offers guests a grand selection of International cuisines, from Western to Indian dishes. As soon as you enter the hotel, you will see a beautiful and spacious lobby with live entertainment for hotel guests. The buffet is located on the mezzanine level which overlooks the lobby through a glass window. Inside the buffet are six large kitchen stations offering an abundance of fresh dishes ready to be served.

We dined at Café Kool with our friends who came down from Shenzhen to visit us in Hong Kong. We couldn't have chosen a better place to catch up over a delicious meal. One of the stations which had gotten us all excited was the seafood station. They had the freshest lobster and crab legs, along with the beautiful assortment of sushi that was prepared. We made sure not to fill up on one particular cuisine so that we had the chance to try a little bit of everything from all the six stations. One of the chefs came out to greet me and was kind enough to show me around to the different stations and explain what some of the dishes were. He even suggested several dishes for me to try including coconut chicken soup and beef rib, which were both very delicious.

The dessert station was also plentiful with a great assortment of cakes, pastries, fruits and more. They had two beautiful fondue stands serving milk and white chocolate, along with some dessert on skewers to dip with. Their ice cream selection included many different flavours and they were all made from Haagen-Dazs. We enjoyed our dessert with a nice cup of hot brewed coffee.

By the end of our meal, we were all full and very satisfied. We had a pleasurable experience at Café Kool from the lovely food to the great service. Although the price per person is quite expensive, I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a buffet restaurant offering great quality and a wide selection of different authentic cuisines.

The sushi and scallop sashimi was my favourite from the buffet! The scallop was very soft and absolutely amazing. The sushi was also outstanding. I had about 3 plates of these!
