We accomplished almost everything we wanted to do before it was time for us to eat at the Gateway Buffet. The options for salads, vegetables, potatoes/rice/noodles, seafood, and meats was quite extensive. There were a few dessert options and pineapple or mango soft freeze. If you left the place hungry, it was definitely your own fault. Everything was good, with some things better than others. Very friendly staff (at least the ones who had anything do do with us personally).

A large variety, good quality and very tasty. The issue that cost the extra star was their organization with seating. We were ushered to our table and given the run down of the buffet procedure. We went and got our food and came back to find other people sitting at our table. After the awkwardness of sorting this out, we were ushered to another table, with food in hand. Finally seated at a new table across the restaurant with our swiftly cooling food, we started to settle down. Then another couple turned up and said we were seated at their table. Another awkward moment as we tried to sort that out. I am afraid that some of the staff didn't know what they were doing and the whole situation made the event less than enjoyable. Great food though.
