Latest Kota Kinabalu hotel reviews
There are a few food stands at esplanade opposite to some top-end hotels. They are generally nice and enjoyed by both locals and tourists; they serve seafood and usual local food.
My sister was not feeling well after she tried all delicious food, but I stayed as intact as I was. It really depends on person; you might not feel well after local street food, but you may also remain good!
Favorite Dish: Fresh seafood is a must try; chendo is good as well.

The food was terrible, The ambience appalling, this restaurant may have been big in the 70, 80's but now its just sadly in need of help and a complete re design and renovation not to mention new management and staff.
The staff service is pathetic, the price high for such a small buffet offering mainly European dishes, that’s if the kitchen can’t be bothered cooking Al LA Carte, Carpets are stained with god knows what human remains?. The air conditioning units were not even working at all when we were at the restaurant, during the night I wouldn't recommend going as the view is not great to say the least, probably best during the day if its open, didn't stay long enough to find out!!!
Overall I don’t know why this restaurant is even open, especially with some of the fantastic seafood restaurants and other establishments offering fantastic food, entertainment and prices in town, floating restaurant for example, or food courts.
If you learn anything from this post, is do not waste your time or money!!!!!

I think I liked this even more than the International buffet. Tables were set .up around the pool area and it looked like an authentic Malaysian village. We had huge tiger shrimp ,beef and chicken satays for appetizers. For our main we had crab ,shrimp and calamari all cooked fresh in front of us. Too much food but who could resist .Once again the price was $33.00 each.

International Buffet at the Shangri-la Rasi Ria
This buffet had everything imaginable available. Not only were there Salads ,soups and mains several different country specialties were also offered. For may main I stuck to the lamb dishes ,which were delicious. My resolve wavered when it came to dessert however .I can vouch for the chocolate millet fillet and the mango cake!!
By local standards this was an expensive meal at $33.00 each for the buffet. We were somewhat captured here however,so this was our best option.

Kota Kinabalu has its fair share of western food restaurants to cater for all the foreign tourists and backpackers that visit. This place is one of the best with excellent service and all the things you come to expect from an Italian pizza restaurant. I had a good ham and mushroom pizza along with garlic bread shaped like a face with pointy hair, olives for eyes and a mouth!

The BBQ Australian steaks with Fresh Prawns are mouthwatering at the Pirates bar in the corner of KK Waterfront. The beah style island bar is a sure fire winner with efficent service and is a favoutite with sailors and visitors from around the world
Favorite Dish: 1 inch T - Bone Steak,
The steak was tender and served with a side salad and jacket potatoe as a heathy option, it size meant that the medium rare option allowd the inside to be rare

@mosphere, the modern dining restaurant on the 18th floor of Menara Tun Mustapha. It is also Sabah's 360 degrees revolving restaurant & bar.
If you dine at the restaurant, you can leave your car to the car jockey then head to the designated elevator to level 18. Then pick your choice of seats among the various furniture settings. From comfy sofas to futuristic chairs.
Try their signature mocktail, Atmosphere if you can't take alcohol. Enjoy the sea scenery or KK city view while sipping your beverage. The restaurant is revolving slowly and it will stop turning after 2:30pm. You really can relax & immerse yourself in the atmosphere here. The lights sometimes flashes in rhythm with the pulsating music beats.

Wowow! I didn't expect there is such amazing place in the "plain looking" cylindrical tower by the bay.
I was pleasantly surprised by the ambiance - supercool. Comfy sofa. Designer chairs. Modern lamps.
It offers a sweeping 360 degree view of the Likas Bay and surrounding. It supposed to be Sabah's only revolving restaurant. However, when I was there (at about 3:30pm on Sunday), they didn't turn the rotor on. Not many people around.
We practically had the place to ourselves, until the arrival of a bunch of Japanese tourists.
If you have money to splash, they offer helicopter and luxury yatch tranfer package, with fine dining thrown in.
The next time I come here, I must make sure that I come for the sunset. They said sunset last longer on higher ground. Should be breathtaking!
Please click my KK travelogue for more pictures of Atmosphere!
Favorite Dish: We ordered some mocktails and Risotto balls with cheese. Yummy!
