Centara has a 50% off special with Amex. They have a very large buffet that needs 2 rooms. Be aware that some of the meals come with freepour wine. If you order any drinks, they rape you. Think $9 for a beer

... The Hub... Ramada Encore... 02 615 0999... Sukhumvit Soi 10, less than 2 minutes walk into the soi from the Nana BTS Station... weekdays 11.30a-2.30p... THB 290 net.
... features Italian pastas and Asian noodles... simple, straight-forward buffet... sauces are a bit light, so ask the chef to ladle on a little extra to give it some flavor, which he will do willingly... they also cook more of a 'Thai-style' (watery) carbonnara and Alfredo sauce, so you might want to watch over the chef and instruct him to add a little more cream and Parmesan and to cook it down a bit to thicken it up.
... if convenient to where you are, this is an inexpensive depot into which to do some heavy carb-loading... pasta and noodles are the whole offer here... that's it.
... for a a little more (THB 350), the trip down to Soi Langsuan to No. 43 Italian Bistro (see top of page 7 this thread) is a better bet for greater variety and a bit better a value if you want more than just bulk carbs.

Oh the shame... The Huntsman Sunday Roast buffet has changed.... A LOT...
It is no longer in front of the restaurant, it is now located between 2 areas inside.
There is no longer any Thai Food, none at all.
There are no longer prawn cocktails, pies or various other alternatives to the 'roast'.
The desert offering was cheap and nasty, an apple tart (no not apple crumble, or apple pie, a poxy, bland apple tart) Cold custard, blueberry cheesecake and 3 crap ice creams (i mean really, Green Tea, Coffee and Vanilla...surely the 3 most hated ice cream flavours ?)
The price was 490 Net, included a drink. both my kids ate free, 1 I expected but the other older one I expected to pay 50% for...so that was VERY fair value on price, but then she didn't fancy the roast, so ended up with a salad and some bread, previously she could have eaten Thai.
The roast...the beef was excellent, truly delicious, no fat and cooked well, so only the very center had a slight red glow to it...nicely done. The lamb had run out and a new one was 40 minutes from being ready to serve. Chicken and Ham was ok. Yorkshires are great, but the potatoes, what are they trying to do here, good old roast potatoes is all we want, these things are huge and more like baked than roasted and covered in so many herbs and spices, not like english roast tatty's at all.
Staff and service as always was excellent and friendly.
Its good value IF you all want to eat a roast dinner and you don't really bother with a pudding. Fall outside that small grouping and I think you'll also be disappointed.
I was told by one of the waitresses that many regulars had complained and that the management simply didn't know what they wanted.
Oh and lastly, it runs from 11:30am until 8pm, now thats a big stuffing by any stretch, we were in and out in under 2hrs, plenty of time.
I will go back, maybe, but it won;t be the twice a month it used to be, i'm now looking for pastures new, so count me out for a few months at least while I shop around.
How many others are doing the same ?

I can't recall the price but I'm sure it wasn't cheap.. the buffet dinner at the Peninsula Hotel on the river was fantastic..all you could ask for and the atmosphere outside was great. Perfect place to take a nice gal for dinner. Make sure to call for reservation and ask for table outside by the river. They will even pick you up on their boat from the other side of the river...great jazz too in the upstairs bar.

Report from Bangkok Post dated 12 April 2013 :-
Buffet blowout - Cafe 9 reaches for cloud 9 at Pratunam
==========================================
Is it just us, or have buffets become a guilty pleasure for you too? With all the stress and pressure of putting out the weekly magazine you're holding, it's so much easier to run to a buffet place every weekend for some gastronomic relief
Plenty of Chinese restaurants offer a dim sum buffet. Hotel restaurants tend to provide international dishes in their buffet spreads. Japanese restaurants allow you to eat all-you-can a la carte items within a given time limit. There are so many yakiniku places where you can grill meat and eat as much as you want. We feel like renaming Bangkok the buffet hub sometimes.
However Bangkok's buffet scene is so fat with quantity and to spot a quality one among the crowd is like trying to locate your friend's head among the Silom crowd from the BTS platform during Songkran.
The new hotel entry to the Pratunam area is Centara Watergate Pavillion Hotel Bangkok. It "soft-opened" on Apr 1 above Watergate Pavillion Fashion Mall on the ninth to the 21st floors and it also offers a new buffet place called Cafe 9. The lunch buffet there is priced at B850 per person with free-flow soft drinks (prices subject to tax and service charge) while the dinner buffet is B1,250.
Despite being on the ninth floor, the panorama from the outdoor section of Cafe 9 propels you closer to cloud nine with the night view of the city and its sea of lights. The overall vibe of Cafe 9 is smart and modern, keeping with the hotel's appearance.
At Cafe 9, you get the usual suspects in a respectable buffet spread such as salads, Thai favourites, seafood with dippings, live pasta station, fruits and desserts for you to pile up on your plate.
On the Thai side, try Pomelo salad for a flavourful but not too spicy sensation. The ingredient list of the dish is staggering but works in delicious sync. Bits of the fruit give sweet and sour bursts while chicken shreds, shallot, kaffir leaves and roasted coconut add extra texture and flavour.
Delightful Marinated brie on a small skewer offers mild and slightly sweet cheese complemented by grapes.
Go Italian at the pasta station where you can choose from three types of pasta cooked four ways - tomato, meat, carbonara or aglio e olio. I find the tomato sauce very so-so and the aglio e olio to be most pleasing with its appetising aroma and mild heat.
Seared salmon with kale is cooked on the outer layer while the inside is still sashimi-fresh. It goes great with the tasty sauce made of jalapeno, mirin and wine. Kale atop the fish is cooked and seasoned Asian style.
Presumably to keep things interesting, Cafe 9 offer three different items under the "surf & turf" concept each day. This doesn't mean a big plate of lobster and steak in the traditional sense of the dish, mind you. The restaurant uses the term for dishes that combine seafood and meat. Lamb rump stew with anchovies offers tender meat with a slight hint of the sea. Deep-fried pork and shrimp roll gives you juicy meat in a crispy sheet. The most impressive of the three is Crab and beef in red curry sauce. The dish is like a pillow with a cover of aromatic meat and a cushion of delicate crab inside.
Custard and raspberry creme brulee are among the dessert selections. I find the custard to be a good choice for people who don't want a sugary end to their meal. Raspberry creme brulee offers a lighter and refreshing taste but unfortunately doesn't have the hard and sweet caramel layer on top that it should.
While there are some solid dishes I enjoy at Cafe 9, I must say that I expected more of a wow-factor given there are many hotel-buffet competitors out there. However, this newcomer is still in its soft-opening phase and may become more interesting as it develops its culinary repertoire.
If you're a buffet beast, why not drop by to try this brand spanking new place anyway. Because after shopping under budget at Pratunam all day, you may need to re-energise and splurge a little at Cafe 9.G
