I considered it among the top buffet in Thailand. Good food good service,, whether it is worth the money? Depends on what you are looking for....

Lunch buffet is ok, but plan to pay almost 4,000 baht per person to drink water only. To me, this price is outrageous, and there is no lobster on the buffet. Also, melon with Parma ham dish did not have the ham. I don't think the old adage "You get what you pay for here" works for here.

In my opinion you may be paying for the salary of the pastry chef in addition to your meal. For this price, I do not think I would return. Service was excellent, however, for those who have no problem throwing your money away.

First time in Oriental Mandarin and our plan was to have a quick dinner before enjoying jazz at the Bamboo bar. (See review on Bamboo bar) Luckily we chose this restaurant. Everyone greeted us when we stepped into the restaurant, making us feel like royalty. We were seated near the window with a nice expansive view of the river and the colourful boats sailing by. Three of us had the white asparagus (seasonal), lamb loin, grilled leek, lobster bisque, organic corn fed chicken, grilled cod fish and potato millefeuille. Everything was delicious, only complaint was one of my asparagus was stringy and parts were inedible. The lobster bisque was one of the best I’ve ever tasted. Dipping the complimentary sourdough bread with special butter in the bisque was sinfully delicious. We ended up too full for dessert.  Two other tables were celebrating birthdays showing how popular Lord Jim’s is. Price is not cheap but you definitely get great food and service.

The service is amazing. They take care of every single detail. The food is very delicious, with great quality and wonderful taste. The coffee smell was special, and also the desert.
