We were up there with Sonny and the crew and this guy is hilarious in front and back of the camera. We enjoyed the time spent with the red bandana guy and his wife and we hope all the locations were tasty, authentic and representative of Taiwan's cuisine! Hope to see you again in the sovereign nation of Taiwan!

[sxs]

Damn that expensive buffet makes me want to go to Taiwan. Being able to try all those fancy things for just 100$ is a great deal.

[dennnnnismo]

$101 is fair for that quality if not cheap. That's really the best buffet I've seen 😍

[raycharlesvillaruel]

90% food, 10% alcohol, 0% Wife - Sonny

[motggfj]

Hi Sonny, I'm a fan from Taiwan!

I just wanted to clarify that we don't really eat shark fins these days.
We believe shark fins mainly add a sticky texture to soup without much flavor, and eating them only contributes to the endangerment of sharks.
While a few restaurants might still serve shark fin soup, it's quite rare.
Things are improving.

Thanks for your awesome food reviews!

[Sniperboy]

$101 for all that is amazing. I don’t think I’ve ever gone to a restaurant that fancy, let alone a buffet.

[chiransandeepa]

Dude, sitting next to his wife, said his happiness comes from food and alcohol 😂😂

[stephend]

I’ve been to Taiwan several times, been to 101, but stupidly never heard of this buffet until now. I have to go back just for it. It looks amazing!!! Thank you for opening my eyes and love to Taiwanese people 🇹🇼

[HY]

I"m going to Taipei in 3 days and I just reserved there! Thanks Sunny for always showing us the best places!

[ladrianyu]

in Taiwan shark fin is consider unethical just like in USA nowadays, it disappeared from most places in last 20 years or so, its import and capture also regulate by government, so in 2020s even someone told you its shark fin, as far as i know, it might just some other ingredients with similar texture

For reference, A Joy dinner costs $120, tax already included but there will a 10% service charge that's common in higher end Taiwanese restaurants so it's around $132 per adult. Top Las Vegas seafood dinner buffets (Wynn & Bacchanal) cost between $75 to $85, add tax (8.38%) and tip (let's just say 15%), that's just about $94 to $106 per adult. I'll admit it's been years since I've had buffets in Las Vegas, I've had Bacchanal prior to Covid twice, I was not impressed both times. I've had Wynn once and honestly I can't even remember what it was like anymore, it was just not memorable. Aside from the fact I just can't stuff that much food anymore, for the price I'd rather spend the same amount for better quality food than what's being offered in Vegas buffets. A Joy opened in July 23, I was in Taiwan for 3 months but left in April so I didn't get a chance to try A Joy but I've had InParadise buffet (most expensive weekend dinner around $72 per adult) from the same parent company and even though InParadise is not the same tier as A Joy I still enjoyed its food more than Las Vegas buffets. My impression of Las Vegas buffets is plenty of choices but little or none done well except maybe desserts. Taiwanese love their buffets, there are many price range and types of food to choose from, the most special must be the all vegetarian buffet, must try if ever in Taiwan, it will change your perception of what vegetarian food can be like forever. Most high end buffets in Taiwan will cost about $70 for adult and there are many options around $50 or less, can all have different price. Most buffets also sell discounted meal tickets online similar to Groupon, having locals to help to buy these at discounted price can mean additional savings. Taiwan is a great place for foodies, maybe it's best known for night markets but that's definitely not where you will find the best foods, see one night market and you've basically seen them all.

"am i going to TRY any of these vegetables? absolutely not!" 🤣

[jacobrev]

This video makes me want to go Taiwan actually

[akl]

That expensive buffet is making me want to visit Taiwan just to dine there. Looks like heaven

[pawpi]

Looks delicious, and only $101 for a view of the city like that and food like that in a fancy setting like that!? Damn right that price is worth it.

[AggressivelyLoving]

The 100 dollar buffet is honestly not that expensive for the luxury it gives you.

[Muifdy]

When he stopped you from touching the pots.😂😂

[alisachamoy]

I am googling flights to Taiwan after watching that buffet video.... WOW! And $100 is a very good value - the cost of the sashimi alone would be far more than that in NY.

[Revoncheap]

That most-expensive buffet is very nice. Worth every penny.

[Invrexs]

I like Taiwan. They seem like good folk.
