Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Aug2022. Somewhat similar in size and variety as their Lunch Buffet but some of the foods are different. For example, breakfast doesn't have the shaved ice dessert and grilled meats, but there is egg-station (omellete, etc.) and also breakfast stuff like Chicken Siew Mai and Prawn Dumpling. Breakfast buffet price is cheaper than lunch buffet price by about 30%. FrancisTLim.

We had dinner here last night, ordered the steak and seabass. The steak was done well, compliments to the chef, and the seabass was also tastefully garnished. More importantly the service from the team was superb especially from the Manager, Hafi who managed our dinner ‘membership coupon’ seamlessly. I would recommend the restaurant if you are looking for a serene experience and good service.

I was just too lucky enough to be able to enjoy more than 100 authentic local flavours during this Ramadan festival at Holiday Inn Johor Bahru City Centre Dine@Eight (Floor level 8, literally).
The dining area is spacious for food display as well as seating area. I believe that they are much ready to recover from the pandemic.

Went here for lunch at around 1pm. The restaurant had buffet but our food intake are not big so we ordered a la carte. After half an hour, the food was not here and we asked a server to check. 5 minutes later, the soup came. 10 minutes later, there was still no sign of the food. We asked another to check our order again and we were told that we need to wait for another 30 minutes for our food. The server said we have to wait 30 minutes for the food we ordered but we were not told of this in the begining. The order slip showed it was keyed in at 1.17pm, we had already waited for 45 minutes by then and we were told we have to wait another 30 minutes. The server apologised and said she will check but she never came back. We waited for another 5 minutes and asked another server to check our order, he too said he will check and never came back. We decided to leave as we think we were never going to get our food. Other than this, we had breakfast at the same place (we booked room with breakfast). The food didn't look appetising, the waffles were thin and nearly burnt. The cereal was not crispy and the milk was not cold. And the pineapple juice tasted like a thick drink made of pineapple flavoured syrup.

I am writing to give a good review for a few of the hotel staff who served us today (8 Apr 2023). This morning, I bought a slice of cake from the hotel restaurant for 2 birthday girls.
A hotel restaurant staff Catherine went the extra mile to decorate the cake on the plate. To our surprise, Catherine, Hafi & Rizal sang the birthday song while bringing the cake to our table to celebrate the memorable birthday. It really touched our hearts. Big thanks to them for making this special birthday celebration happen.

An average dining experience, not many varieties but the service crews are so friendly and helpful. Would love to rate 5/5 if the price is not too costly for the buffet spread. Hope the management will can make it more affordable so as to entice diners to this restaurant.

I knew many hotels and their dinner offers but so far nothing matches this one here @ HIJBCC. I can tell from their variety of foods and their quality as well were top notch.Their spread was very diverse from East to Western and one of my favorite was the cheese naan madely fresh on site tandoor oven.Moreover not forgetting the services that we get especially Rizwan supervisor and Rizal who guide us through our dining experience. Rizal was attentive and helpful , Truly exemplary individual. We're grateful for the dining experience i suggest to keep up the terrific work y'all got goin' on there. Cheers

I went for lunch/hi-tea at Dine@Eight with my friends last month and coincidentally they were celebrating "Grandparents Day". We were entertained by a live singing duo during the hi-tea. The range of buffet hi-tea was good. We received a gift (fresh rose & chocolate) and participated in cup cakes decor contest organised by them. All in all, we had a really fun & enjoyable day...

to all concerned .. good morning and here I would like to express myself as a guest observing from my point of view .. I am very comfortable and like the holiday inn hotel everywhere .. where in the state do I go holiday inn in the heart .. the room is clean and neat.. but why the holiday inn at komtar jbcc johor bharu.. the restaurant is very very disappointing to me. This morning my family and I went down for breakfast.. (September 16, 2024 around 8.30 - 9am) there was a staff fight shouting on the floor.... very rude and need to fight in front of many guests? why not respect the guests who are enjoying breakfast. (an Indian man and a foreign man) where do you go, the restaurant manager, please solve the problem of the staff fighting. with fnb service is slow.. plates and cups on the table are slow to clear... asking for water is slow.. not many staff?? very disappointing.. international hotel, why is the service in the restaurant like in a mamak shop? should it? Mamak's restaurant also has fast service... the food is satisfying.. it's delicious but for me the fnb team is not recommeded at this restaurant.. there is no discipline and it's not fun.. I hope the concerned parties can take care of the employee's problem immediately and brief don't fight in front of guests. control your emotions..it's very impolite and should we come to someone's house to eat but the host is fighting?

Good variety of food for breakfast buffet. Frozen prata was served at times at the live prata counter which was disappointing. Lontong will taste better with grated coconut. Overall still a good breakfast.

From local to international food, you have it here! Super affordable and entertaining! love the uncle clown who made us baloons and kept us entertained while we enjoy the full spread of hi tea buffet selections. Their live pasta station and nasi lemak bungkus is a must try!
A little tips, savour their dessert first when you arrive cause its to die for!
We also tried the nestum prawn in the hot dishes corner, it was so crispy and savoury just like how chinese restaurant normally prepare it!
Would come back on weekends to enjoy long hour buffet
