What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Diners praise Gengy's for its interactive build-your-own buffet concept, fresh ingredients, and family-friendly atmosphere, especially for celebrations. However, some reviews mention decor needing attention and occasional issues with food tray replenishment or being rushed during closing hours.
"Went here for my son's birthday and they allowed us to bring some decorations in which I thought was awesome. Birthday person gets to eat for $1 within 7 days of
their birthday. Great atmosphere. One of my family favorites."

"I like this place but I think it is 3 star. The decor needs attention. The food is nice but not always alot in the buffet trays. Not many people there so very quiet. Very different to have ot cooked in front of you I will say. I will go again but I dont think it should have 4 stars."
Tanya Quedley
"After finding out there was a Gengys buffet in Tauranga we had to give it a go, beyond pleased with the service & quality of the food. A perfect place to treat yourself to dinner with tons of meal options. My favorite thing about Gengys has to be watching your food be cooked in front of you… And the pancakes of course! 5/5 😇👍"
