I just want to say do not eat to much during the day as this place is amazing! It is very pricey $ 105 for but so worth it! This is a buffet with 8 stations; Indian, seafood, salad, meat, desert, Indian, Japanese, bread. My favourite thing of the night I had to say was the chocolate chip naan! Best thing ever! Also the sushi is so good I’m now craving it! Not the cheapest place to crave though. Very good for special occasions and is 5 star all the way. As I went for a birthday they gave us a small present at the end! Very sweet of them! Defiantly a place to try at least once!

An interesting take on buffet style dining. It’s expensive but as my brother treated me, I can’t complain too loudly. The food is arranged by types of cuisine, eg, desserts, sushi, curry etc. I pretty much just ate sushi and dessert as nothing else on offer really tickled my fancy. The sushi was very good, the desserts were not as pleasing although I suspect this is because my palate prefers European dairy products (yes, yes I hear the shocked exclamations about NZ grass fed cows vs grain fed blah blah blah). My favourite was the toffee cheesecake, because how can you go wrong with cheesecake? Everything is nicely presented in small portions as you’d expect from gourmet dining. Really it’s worth a try once, but if you are a repeat diner, I can only assume you’re loaded or you can pack away food like there is no tomorrow.

The best buffet is town.
The place has almost everything you could want.
I’ve been for breakfast a couple times and lunch once, definitely recommend breakfast.
Omelettes made to order, fresh waffle sticks, great variety of pastries and bread. Also the chocolate fountain with icecream operates at breakfast time too!
Only downside is it’s quite pricey and the dessert could be improved, especially on the flavour front.

I was tossing up between 4 or 5 stars for this place because it has been my all time favourite. However, I have found that in recent visits they have not had my favourite waffles or crème brûlée which is yummy!, but I don’t know if it’s because it was a lunch time sitting? It can be forgiven as the rest of the food is delicious! The 8 stations are awesome if you are taking a group who all like different types of food. There is something for everyone, seafood, meat, curry, sushi, etc. But you need to go with a good appetite or you will pay way more than your stomach can handle. Their naan bread is the best I’ve ever tasted and is made fresh. Everything is cooked before you and their sushi is the best! It’s quite pricey but you have to visit this place at least once for the experience. A great place to take overseas guests for a lovely dinner out, if you can afford it. The décor is beautiful and the staff are great!

This is probably the nicest, classiest and tastiest buffet restaurant I’ve been to. Ever. It’s pricey (close to $ 100 and over $ 100 during special events etc) but it is 100% worth the money. The buffet is divided into different areas — meat, cold seafood, hot seafood, chinese, japanese, indian, salads and antipasto, and desert. The food quality is fantastic — as good as a freshly prepared a la carte meal in any top Auckland restaurant. The meat selection is definitely the highlight. The various uncooked meats are presented in a glass cabinet exactly like a butcher and you choose what meat you want and how you want it cooked and it’s cooked right in front of you by a chef.
The rest of the buffet is fantastic as well. Huge selection of fish (also cooked fresh for you like the meat) and seafood — including oysters. Dim sum, sushi, sashimi, lots of different curries with race, naan and indian condiments. Plenty of beautiful salads and antipasto and cooked vegetables to go with everything.
Desert looked good — sweet food isn’t really my thing so I left it.
You’ve definitely got to try this place. You’ll want to come back again and again.

I had been here once before and thoroughly enjoyed it so as the price is not too bad and it was a special occasion, being my birthday, we thought why not splash out a little and come back again for lunch. Most people who come here I think will already know why it is called Eight so need to go explaining that. I think that some of the previous reviewers explain it perfectly those who do. I love these places where the food is cooked for you in front of you, at least you know nothing dodgy is going on in the kitchens with the food. (on a side note even though it has never put me off eating in some of them, I have over time seen to many unmentionable things taking place in restaurant kitchens that would surely break all the hygiene laws) Thus the beauty of seeing it cooked from raw right in front of you. Of course I sampled every section except the Indian one, as Indian food has little appealed to me. The chefs perfectly cooked the meat I selected as I desired, as was the fish. the lady on the salads did a fantastic job of mixing together a salad consisting of all the ingredients I chose. The oysters were delicious as I would have expected, and the deserts of which were a good selection gave me a tough time choosing (partly because I really am trying to adhere to a diet of sorts) Eventually though I gave in to a decent helping of both the chocolate pudding and bread & butter pudding. Later I tried a few of the smaller ones like the soufflé … Also I tried one of the Langham’s own pure lagers. Not bad at all.
Overall no complaints about the food and we walked away quite full. Definitely somewhere we will come back again to.

I’ve been spoilt coming here as this is a work client who takes us here for lunches during the year, so when it comes to ‘value for money’ and the like– I’m not able to say. I didn’t part with my hard earned funds for this place although I have heard it is very pricey?
To sum it up, it’s a lavish version of a buffet. Everything is fresh as bloody fresh can be. Sushi is made in front of you. Meat is selected by you and cooked to your liking. Lush bowls of curry and naan to help yourself to. And the iconic chocolate fountain (which let’s be honest, it looks pretty but go for the steamed chocolate fondant pudding and custard instead ok)
It’s a great place for a buffet experience. Take your time. Choose carefully. Taste everything.

Wow! I was very lucky to be taken to Eight at the Langham for my birthday this year and had the best time. My expectations were high and I was not disappointed.
Before we were seated we were given a quick tour of the eight kitchens. The staff were so friendly and attentive. At one point my boyfriend left the table and as I patiently waited for him to return so we could get our next course I was approached by two staff members checking if I was alright and reminding me that it was all you can eat and I should ‘get my money’s worth’ which I thought was lovely. They were also very quick at clearing plates and replacing the cutlery and gave me birthday chocolates (score!).
We went in with an eating plan and executed it well. We started with the small entrees, oysters and prawns. Then we hit the meat. Oh the meat. Because it was the start we restrained ourselves and only tried a few of the different meats. If I were to go back I would devote more time to the meat kitchen. Imagine a full butchery and you can choose any piece of meat and have it cooked however you prefer. It was fantastic. After meat was the fish which was OK but not my favourite, then the sushi and sashimi (AMAZING). The sashimi chef is slicing from a whole tuna right in front you so you know it’s fresh. At this point my boyfriend was struggling and opted for a cheese plate while I valiantly continued alone with him occasionally picking off my plate. The Indian kitchen was good but I would skip it next time for more prawns, sashimi or meat. I went back to the ham and turkey with roast vegetables, duck fat potatoes and gravy which was really, really good. And finally the desserts. First the hot, the Christmas pudding, and then the many, many cold desserts and chocolate fountain. The desserts are all portioned and I wish could have taken half slices of some of the things as I wanted to try everything. The crème brûlée was delicious, as was the Christmas pudding but the other desserts were so-so.
All in all it was an amazing experience and a really special way to celebrate my birthday. I feel it was good value for money, especially the sashimi, prawns and oysters. I would love to go back one day in the future but not for a while as I still feel uncomfortably full when I think about it.

I have been to the buffet at Eight three times now. Each time has been excellent! My most recent visit was a few months’ ago when I took my older sister for lunch for her birthday. Once I had explained to her the ‘Eight’ different themed kitchens and how it works, she was super excited.
You basically take your seat (definitely recommend booking a table and arriving early), then when the kitchen opens, you can eat as much as you wish from any of the following Eight stations:
1. Seafood & Oyster Bar — think prawns, oysters, mussels and fish (orange roughy, snapper, tarakihi, salmon and many more).
2. Sushi & Sashimi Bar — my absolute favourite station with endless amounts of freshly made sashimi, sushi, miso soup and you can have as much ginger and soy sauce as you like!
3. Indian Tandoori & Curry Kitchen — we tried the paneer curry, beef vindaloo, butter chicken and homemade naan bread.
4. Wok & dim sum corner — they serve steamed buns, dumplings and noodles.
5. New York Style Grill — this is the fun part. You choose anything from the meat cabinet (for example eye fillet, lamb steak, chicken skewer or maybe kangaroo as they once had on the menu), you tell the chef how you like it cooked and it’s done! Sizzling hot on your plate and you can add sides to accompany it like roasted vegetables, mashed potato or a variety of sauces.
6. Salad bar — is either ‘help yourself’ or let the chef toss it up for you. There is such a range of salads, I would say at least 20 different ones!
7. Fresh breads and pastries — I have never paid much attention to this station, because bread fills me up! They do however have a good selection of cheeses to go with the bread if you fancy that.
8. Last but not least, the dessert station. I have slowly learnt that if you want to eat at least three of the desserts, you must try a little bit of everything else (savoury items), and that way you can save room for dessert because you will definitely not want to pass up the chocolate fountain! And all the delectable desserts of course! I dipped melon and marshmallows into the chocolate fountain and then had a crème brulee and panacotta to finish off, while my sister could only fit in a chocolate dipped Movenpick ice cream in a cone!
As for the service, it is great. Water glasses were always topped up, plates replenished every time you finished a meal and new cutlery for your next course.
Overall, always a great experience. I recommend it to everyone, even if you just try it once!

I loved it. Forget the filler, I went all thriller! Sashimi, rare steak, inbetween palette cleansers of crème brûlée lol. As many oysters and prawns as I could handle. Trick is to go for the $ 50 lunch, and be there on opening so everything is fresh and plentiful. First in first served free parking down the side of only 10 parks? Pull up to the front valet and ask for the window ticket for the free parking as you are booked in for 8 dining.

Firstly, I will start by saying that the review is for the breakfast, NOT for the dinner which is amazing!
Atmosphere
Not too bad. Its your typical hotel-restaurant idea. A little music would be nice if I am to be honest, but its not a problem. Good and relaxed feel and a great way to start the morning. ⁴⁄₅ stars.
Service:
Very fast and very polite. There is nothing like starting the off the morning with kind staff. The Langham anyway generally has very good staff. If you havent been to this place before, the food is cooked to order, so everything is fresh. There is an eggs station, a pastry station and so fourth. All stations were quick and all stations presented good food. No complaint here from me. ⁵⁄₅ stars.
The Food:
I keep it simple for breakfast really, I ordered an omelette with a bit of everything. To my suprise, she whipped the whole thing out in about a minute flat! the omelette was golden and the cheese was just melting. The rest of the food that was out on display was your generic breakfast food: Mushrooms, bacon, sausages, tomatoes and potatoes. The extensive bread section was quite the display and it all looked like it was baked fresh. The pastry section was very good too, however, they mixed the sweet pastries with the savoury, which was weird. Not too big of a problem, then again, I dont want to spend time looking to see which ones are which. My only criticism was the cook that was at the waffle and crêpe station didnt really know what he was doing and the crêpe I ordered turned into a mushy pancake. The cooking of the crêpe was wrong too, he seemed confused on how to spread the batter and instead of getting a thin crêpe, it was quite thick. ⁴⁄₅ stars.
Summary:
All in all, I do love this place and its great food. There is nothing like just good homestyle food cooked right (well, barr the crêpe station). I definitely would go back and I am revving up to go to the dinner at some point. I recommend this place for breakfast to anyone who is either staying in the hotel, nearby or wanting to try it for fun.
⁴⁄₅ stars.

OMG. You have to at least try this restaurant out once in your life-time. Truly.
A friend suggested this place for lunch, and it was her treat. So, yesterday lunch time we headed to ‘Eight’. We parked in the building and quickly found a way into the restaurant. Seated, all for about a nano-second and then we were off!
My friend showed me the ‘kitchens’ and then left me to consider what I would consume first. I opted for the sushi. Then after a few deep breaths, I marched toward the Indian dishes, all waiting in their bright orange Le Crueset cookware, ready for me to lift the lid. Back at my table I devoured the tasty Butter Chicken, rice and bread. So good! After this it becomes more of a blur. Chocolate fountains and fruit, dishes of cheesecake and other dainty desserts. Ah!
Um, anyway, this pricy lunch time buffet is very good. They have a wide range of food that pleases the most fussy of punters. Seafood, A meat ‘kitchen’, Indian, Sushi Bar, and still other options.
Go and give this restaurant a try. I do not believe you would regret it.

It’s called Eight because there are Eight kitchens. That’s what I was told when I walked in, completely unsure what I was to expect. I think it took me ten minutes to pick my jaw up off the floor. Eight kitchens all waiting too cook up whatever food you desire. I started with the salad kitchen, pointing out exactly what i wanted in my salad. Then i headed to get some sushi, followed by picking out some meat which was cooked to perfection in front of my eyes. I chose some vegetables which were cooked to go alongside it. As I headed toward the indian station for some butter chicken and fresh made naan bread, my friend headed to the seafood to eat as many oysters as he could. Once we were stuffed on mains, we moved onto the desserts. Fresh made crepes and waffles with chocolate sauce, a chocolate fountain with fruits and candy, and all different kinds of Ice cream. I’m sorry, but is this heaven? Just wow. I would rave about this place for months to come. It’s incredible. The service is also excellent. It’s pricey but for the experience (it’s not just any buffet where the food is cooked then sits getting cold until you come and scoop it onto your plate), it’s worth it.

Supreme. Just divine.
Dinner and breakfast were included in our hotel reservation, and it was so so so worth the cost! We had drinks before dinner at Palm Court (the hotel lobby bar), and they not only transferred our tab, they took us to the restaurant and got us a special quiet and dark corner (we were celebrating our wedding anniversary).
Food was fantastic, went to the meat bar twice and both times the meat was cooked perfectly to my order.
Such a range — asian and indian, sushi and sashimi, good seafood and shellfish, meat bar that they cook to order, salad bar, and full dessert bar including a chocolate fountain (OMG!).
Breakfast had egg station, including omelets cooked to order, and a crêpe station… nutella crepes on order — yay! Cold cuts, cereals, yoghurts etc, juices, bakery stuff. All delicious and perfect. Totally want to move into this hotel forever — where’s my lotto win?

I am not convinced by this proposition. Yea it is kind of cool that they have eight kitchens, but how much food can you eat? I would rather just have one awesome kitchen. I think I tried food from four of their kitchens, that leaves four unused kitchens that I paid for. I realise that their target clientele are not people who worry too much about cost efficiency, but if I am going to be paying $ 90 for a meal, I would rather all that money went into one incredible dish and not dealt about eight kitchens. The food ranged from average to amazing.

Go to this place for a lunch experience you will never forget. At $ 50 a head, you might think that it’s pretty steep, but far out it is as close to heaven as I have been thus far. I should add that it’s all you can eat. Ahhh all of a sudden $ 50 doesn’t sound so bad does it?
So what happens here is you walk into this room in the back of the restaurant, and you then find yourself in fine dining paradise. There are all these individual areas that serve different cuisines from all over the world; you have seafood, meats, oriental dishes, salads, breads and pastries, all with chefs in the kitchen waiting to cook whatever you want, however you want it. Sounds great right? Hell yeah it does. After you have finished filling your tummy with as much as you can eat, then comes the best part; Dessert! Yep, they have a dessert fridge too with all of these little fancy dessert things that are so damn good. I’ve been saving up $ 50 for my next visit ever since.

This is super de luxe way to have breakfast and I was brought here as a treat for my birthday last year. The whole thing was so impressive you would be forgiven for thinking you were in London or New York. There are Eight different kitchens from which you can choose a huge diversity of superb food. The American Grille had excellent cuts of meats and steaks which they will cook in front of you whichever way you like it. They also had an Indian food stall though I don’t know anybody who eats curry for breakfast! The had a lovely selection of fish — sushi, sashimi and the oysters were to die for. There is also a sweet kitchen with a chocolate fountain — in case you’re feeling like something sweet after your main breakfast. At $ 39 it doesn’t come cheap but this is the sort of place to come for treat such as a birthday or anniversary.

I had a late-night Wednesday dinner at the Langham at the rather astonishing price of $ 80 for a buffet style meal, which is priced at an even steeper $ 90 at the weekend.
The dining experience and the quality of the food, however, was as impressive as the price tag. Eight is named for the same number of kitchens and styles of cuisine it has running in parallel. You can, for example, walk up to the meat or seafood counter, pick your fresh meat or fish, and have it cooked to your liking right in front of you. You can then sample curries, roasts, sushi, desserts, the list is endless. Perfect for those with champagne tastes, deep pockets and a large appetite.

I’ve only visited Eight at The Langham for breakfast. Both experiences were magnificent, so I can only imagine what lunch and dinner would be like.
My breakfasts with Eight have come included in packages we’ve purchased during our stay at The Langham. Otherwise its around $ 39 for a full breakfast ($ 28 for continental) at Eight. It’s an all you can eat and drink breakfast destination that caters for any and all food lovers. I had the best time eating two type of eggs, croissants and french pasties galore, and well as a couple of great tasting mochas and hot chocolates. There are also several juice dispensers, an array of fresh fruit and every other breakfast food you could think of. In the end, when you’ve reflected on everything you’ve had, you’re likely to realise your $ 39 was well spent. And with a running time of 6am to 11am, its a good idea to get there early and have a couple of breaks between your courses to really make your trip worthwhile. There’s even a small section of ice cream and a flowing chocolate fountain for anyone with a ²⁴⁄₇ sweet tooth.
Lunch and dinner are much more expensive, but rightfully so. With eight kitchens and the biggest buffet selection to choose from, its no wonder why.
