The Line Buffet (Shangri-La): Price, Spread & Is It Worth It (2026)
Nine live stations under one roof — lunch $68++, dinner $98++.
Worth it for the spread's sheer breadth at lunch. The Line's format is nine live stations plating to order — you pay for range and the Shangri-La address as much as the food. Lunch from $68++ is the value sitting; dinner at $98++ mainly adds seafood and a busier room. Reliably wide and consistent rather than a standout on any single station.
You want sheer variety — nine live stations, so you rarely repeat one — at the value lunch sitting.
You want a standout signature dish or halal certification; dinner ($98++) mainly adds seafood weight, not new formats.
| Sitting | Hours | Adult | Child |
|---|---|---|---|
| Lunch | 12:00–2:30pm | $68++ | $34++ |
| Dinner | 6:00–9:30pm | $98++ | $49++ |
Is The worth it? The math
$68++ is about $80.90 nett at lunch — upper-mid for a hotel international buffet. What you're buying is breadth: nine live stations mean you rarely repeat one. Dinner at $98++ (~$116.60 nett) adds seafood weight, not new formats. Children 6–11 pay half at both sittings ($34++ lunch, $49++ dinner). If you want variety over a signature dish, lunch is the pick.

Good to know
What diners actually say
Diners still enjoy the sheer scale and the lobster and oyster station, but the trade-off is a noisy, queue-heavy floor at peak, so a weekday lunch or the earliest dinner slot is the move.
