Really? I've stayed at many hotels (although admittedly not Ritz-Carlton) in Jpn and HKG, and I might actually have Conrad Tokyo's breakfast buffet as my #1 all-time. I think it's better than I've had at Conrad HKG, Island Shangri-la, JW Marriott, Intercontinental, etc, etc, certainly better than any I've had in Tokyo. Not many buffets give you a choice of cooked-to-order entree, in addition to the buffet. Conrad Tokyo's breakfast dim sum items are definitely better than the dim sum you get at breakfast buffet in any of the aforementioned HKG hotels.
If there's a hotel breakfast buffet in Tokyo that's better than Conrad's, I'd like to know.
