I always come with here with the family and there’s always at least 10 of us. Which can be quite bothersome to them because we order about 5x of each dish. But hey, at least we finish everything. Some dishes are already pre-made and just sitting in the fridge like the beef tataki which come out relatively quick. The hot dishes are made to order which take some time but at least they come out hot and fresh. The sushi/sashimi come out quite slow because there’s only 1 person who’s in charge of the sushi station. There has been times where they would purposely slow down in bringing out our dishes. Other times when we would order, for example 3 of something, they would clump it all together without letting us know. Which makes it hard for us to share 1 plate of food amongst a long table of 10 or so people. Hence why we would order 3 so we could spread out the 3 dishes. The ice creams are quite icey as they’ve pre-scooped it and left it in the freezer and for some reason they would get mixed up on how many different ice creams we would want when all they do is punch in the ratio into the ipad. The red bean cake also takes a long time to come out and we actually sat and waited for 20 mins for 2 of the red bean cakes and they never showed up. We followed up on the order multiple times and they just kept saying it was being made but it never made the table.
The food is good but the service is quite poor unfortunately.
At first I didnt know this is going to be a buffet, yet looking around and people are happily treated while enjoying their meals, I decide to give it a try. The staffs are friendly, not like other buffets, they dont push time for customers. The food is just a bit above average, not totally amazing but good enough for a buffet restaurant.
We bought the family here after a night of sport, so the As much as you can eat was an obvious choice.
Often when a restaurant has this type of offer the wait staff are slow or the dishes are average. But after a recent trip to japan and dining in comparable restaurants this is by far one of the best..
Service, amazing and no raised eyebrows when ordering 2 or 3 of the same dish. But the quality!!! Wow.. authentic dishes.
Highly recommend the prawn skewer, yakatori skewers, beef tataki, my daughter loved the rice and dumplings. To be honest I cant imagine this place serving a bad dish. Will definitely be back and telling my friends about it.
We booked at the last minute and offered an outdoor table, although reluctant as it was raining it is an enclosed area and had no issues with kids..
You wont be disappointed
Great place to visit with family. Especially after an intense workout with an starving stomach for that all you eat buffet. Tried pretty much everything off their all you eat menu. Taste , customer service and parking , everything 4/5
