Why Travelers Love Grill N
Sourced from recent guest feedback and verified reviews.
Absolutely love the kai here very tasty & all you can eat too. Bao buns were amazing, they were my favourite. But can't fault anything that was on our platter ohh maybe just that the raw fish was to sour for my liking but other than that..... Delicious food 🥰 Thanks for a beautiful birthday dinner Grill N Roll 👏 What I will say though is... Make sure you go with an appetite 😜 Very busy venue. Definately recommend booking a table. All you can eat is fantastic. A large sample platter to start and then ordering what you like. Great flavours and variety. Very friendly and helpful service. Upstairs seating was a bit hot, but loved the experience!! This place was one of the most awesome places I have been to for a buffet! We didn't even have to move from our seats when we wanted more! Instead they gave you a decent amount of everything on "the all you can eat" menu and if you wanted more of anything, they would happily bring you more! Even the dessert was limitless. I'm sure my niece had about 10 desserts! The cost was $48 per adult which was well worth it and more. The customer service was brilliant 👏. They only thing that could be improved is more space between the tables bit other than that it was a fabulous night! This place is an absolute must to be checked out.

Was the most beautiful lunch I have had in a long time. Dessert was gorgeous I have no idea what those balls were but I kept ordering those that was a taste explosion in my mouth. Every dish we tried which was all of them was absolutely amazing. If I could give it 100 stars I would have.

My daughters and I went away for the weekend in Rotorua before leaving I booked in here. We were greeted on arrival the night of our booking (Excellent service) thank you all for your kindness. We had the “all you can eat” everything was so tasty, delicious and very filling. We loved everything. Highly recommend.
