Great place to try a little bit of various kinds of dishes. The ambience of the restaurant was great, they had a live pianist playing upstairs which was nice. In terms of value for money, if you just had seafood it would be worth it, otherwise you may be better off going to somewhere more specific if you know what you want to eat and it's not seafood. They had a great range of food and dessert.

china bar is fantastic. there are so many incredible delicious food to choose from. i can see why it gets really busy here both lunch and dinner. definitely will be back

What a fantastic restaurant, we went here whilst holidaying in Melbourne, we did not have a booking but got in within half an hour. We had a lovely table with street view which was away from the main crowds. The food was amazing, so fresh and the seafood was sensational. I will definitely be back again next time I visit Melbourne.

The food here is fantastic and I highly recommend it. We had lunch here and its a buffet where you can eat unlimited for $33 per person. There was a noodle station with chef, sashimi, Dimsum, Chinese buffet and a fridge full of desserts. I am a small eater, so although I tried more than 16 dishes (appetisers, mains, and desserts), I just had a mouthful of each, and I was uncomfortably full at the end of the meal. Having said that, each dish was amazing and so worth the price for the amount of food, loved the buffet bar and loved the staff as I was really welcome into the restaurant.

I adore this place. clean, fresh and quality food. Surprisingly good when you remember it's an all you can eat buffet. Unlike some buffets places, all you can eat means, eat a lot, quickly then get out while we eye you off uncomfortably. Not China Bar! They are always encouraging more delicious food and desserts on to you. Aside from the standard buffet salad bar, there is a made to order station to order stir fries and noodle dishes, fresh sushi and sashimi, yum cha, curries, stir fries, 4+ different types of rices, roti breads, seafood, crabs, oysters, prawns, seafood cocktails, duck, chicken, pork.. then upstairs is the bbq made to order station. There you can order different types of pasta cooked fresh for you, bbq prawns or steak or salmon! Then when you're about to explode there is the plentiful dessert selection, fresh fruits for the healthy eaters, puddings, cakes, mousses and cheeses, dried fruit and biscuits, as well as a chocolate fountain. There is something for every taste, matched with friendly service - I highly recommend trying China Bar Buffet!

China Bar Signature is the most amazing place I have ever eaten. It is an all you can eat Asian buffet with fresh seafood (oysters, prawns, crabs), dumplings, peking duck, sushi bar, freshly cooked Asian dishes, upstairs grill and desserts. The seafood and duck is only available for dinner, lunch is obviously cheaper than dinner. The staff come around often to take plates away and give you clean mess bowls, refill drinks etc. It can get quite noisy but if you are sitting at one of the booth seats, it is a really pleasant atmosphere. The decor is quite lovely for a buffet and the quality of the food is as good as any of the better restaurants in China Town. I love China Bar Signature so much, I often feel when I walk out of there that if I died right then, I would have lived my life to the fullest and be content. CBS is my favourite place on earth. I can't wait to go back again.
