An unlimited dim sum buffet in Singapore means the baskets keep coming — à-la-carte and made-to-order rather than sitting on a warming line — from about $30 a head at the value pick to $78++ at the hotel weekend brunches. We tracked the current per-head price of the ones worth knowing, checked against each venue's own page, and ranked them by what you pay.
The gap is mostly setting, not format: all three serve their dim sum unlimited and cooked to order, so you're choosing between Peach Garden's price ($30++) and the hotel polish of Hai Tien Lo ($72++) or Man Fu Yuan ($78++). Prices carry “++” (10% service, 9% GST); weekday sittings are cheapest, and a two-person minimum can apply at the hotels.
Ranked by value. Every price is dated, linked to its source, and re-checked monthly.
Every figure is the per-head price for the cheapest sitting, usually weekday lunch, quoted from the source named beside it. ++ means 10% service charge and 9% GST are added on top; a price without it is nett. The ◆ Pick marks the best value in the category rather than the most expensive.
Across every buffet we track, the median price and how the ++ changes it sit in the Singapore Buffet Price Index.

Read our full reviewNo single restaurant is considered the best — it depends on whether you're after value or an occasion. For value, Peach Garden (from $30++ weekday) is the cheapest full à-la-carte dim sum buffet — roughly half the hotel brunches for the same unlimited, made-to-order format. For an occasion, Hai Tien Lo ($72++) and Man Fu Yuan ($78++) are the premium picks. Every price here is checked against the venue's own page.
Unlimited à-la-carte dim sum runs from $30++ per adult (Peach Garden, weekday) to $72–78++ at the hotel weekend brunches (Hai Tien Lo, Man Fu Yuan). “++” adds 10% service and 9% GST; a minimum of two to dine can apply at the hotels.
Peach Garden, from $30++ on a weekday — the cheapest full à-la-carte dim sum buffet in Singapore, and about half the price of the hotel dim sum brunches for the same unlimited, made-to-order format.
No — all three serve Cantonese roast meats and are not halal-certified. For a halal spread, see our halal buffet list instead.
The classics everyone reaches for: har gow (prawn dumplings), siu mai (pork-and-prawn dumplings), char siew bao (BBQ pork buns), custard buns (liu sha bao) and cheong fun (rice-noodle rolls). At an unlimited à-la-carte buffet like Peach Garden you can order all of them made-to-order, which is the whole point of paying buffet price over ordering off the trolley.
On Reddit and askSingapore, Peach Garden is the recurring value answer — unlimited à-la-carte dim sum around $30++, about half the hotel brunch price for the same made-to-order format. The hotel brunches (Man Fu Yuan, Hai Tien Lo) are framed as occasion-only, worth it if you eat dim sum seriously. That's exactly how we rank them: by what you pay for the same unlimited format.
