Market Cafe is the main restaurant at Hyatt Regency Sukumvit Bangkok. As opposed to other hotels were you will be served an international menu, this place focus mainly on Thai food.
For lunch and dinner, there are buffet ala carte style in which you can order a variety of Thai dishes and a few western dishes (pasta). We had the lunch buffet and we enjoyed the meal. The dishes for the buffet were freshly prepared and were served in small portions which is great if you have a small party. A huge emphasis is placed on prawns, and there are many dishes that feature the protein. For the normal buffet, you will be limited to 4 grilled river prawns, but there is an optional extra if you want unlimited prawns. The overall taste was good. The dessert selection is small though, which is a slight let down.
For dinner service, there is an additinoal option of trying the set menu that is curated by Khao, a famous Thai restaurant (1 star michelin distinction). There are a few different sets that you can try, in which you would be served a wide variety of dishes in a sharing fashion. We had this also, and we did enjoy the set menu.
Overall experience was very good. Enjoyed the freshly made Thai styled food than I initially thought I would and was a better experience than many other international buffet in town based on my experience. The standout dish was the padthai with river prawn which was a well rounded dish.
On the con side, drinks are not included, and the price may be a little high for many. Service may be a little slow, but that is acceptable considering everything is made to order.
Highly recommended for those whoay looking for a different type of buffet to try and not afraid to go with Thai food.
