NZ FAM BARBEQUE & STEAMBOAT

Gelang Patah is hiding a serious hotpot contender. NZ FAM BARBEQUE & STEAMBOAT is pulling repeat local crowds who claim it easily beats out the crowded, commercialized mall chains. The space is exceptionally clean, comfortable, and built for heavy eating. Operating until 12:00 AM six days a week, it is the ultimate late-night gathering spot for families and friend groups looking to feast without breaking the bank.

The buffet line is consistently praised for its high-quality, fresh ingredients. Diners report a massive, well-stocked variety of meats, seafood, and fresh vegetables ready for the grill or the pot. The undisputed crowd favorite is the Tom Yum broth. Multiple reviewers highlight its perfect, addictive balance of spicy and sour notes, delivering rich flavor without leaving a greasy film. You will also find a wide variety of cold drinks readily available in the fridges to cool down the palate.

Service here is a major operational win. Unlike many chaotic all-you-can-eat joints, the staff at NZ FAM are repeatedly praised for being fast, polite, and highly attentive—clearing plates and topping up broths before you even have to ask. The restaurant is closed on Mondays, opens for dinner at 5:00 PM Tuesday through Thursday, and runs extended weekend hours from 12:00 PM to 12:00 AM Friday through Sunday. For an affordable, high-quality BBQ and steamboat experience, this spot is absolutely worth the drive.
