Overall, our dining experience at the restaurant was quite enjoyable, primarily due to the excellent service and the quality of the food. The buffet was a delight, with a well-presented and delicious array of dishes. I must commend the Dim Sum & Gyoza station, which was a personal favorite, and the fresh seafood selection, featuring oysters, prawns, and crab, was a seafood lover's dream. Additionally, we were pleasantly surprised when a platter of sushi and sashimi was presented at our table with a captivating smoking effect, adding a unique touch to our meal. The service provided was prompt and efficient, with attentive staff ready to cater to our requests.
However, there was one aspect that significantly marred our otherwise great experience: the music. At the beginning of our dining, the ambiance was serene, allowing for easy conversation and a pleasant dining experience. Yet, as the meal progressed, the music grew progressively louder and more fitting for an evening bar or even a disco, rather than an Asian restaurant. By the last hour of our meal (brunch hours were from 12 to 4 pm), the volume was so high that it became impossible to have a conversation without raising our voices to an uncomfortable level. When we approached one of the supervisors to express our concerns, we were informed that this was the establishment's signature style for Spice Market. However, this choice of music seemed incongruent with the overall atmosphere of the restaurant and its cuisine. In our opinion, such music would be better suited for a different setting, perhaps for a late afternoon at WBB or B12 on the weekend.
In summary, the restaurant offers a delectable dining experience with a wide variety of flavorful dishes and commendable service. It's a shame that the jarring and overly loud music overshadowed what would otherwise have been a perfect outing. If you can tolerate the volume of the music, it's worth a visit for the food and service alone.
