  Grand Seafood Buffet dinner – $85 per headWhat are there? Side dishes bar, salad bar, cooked dish section, udon section, shabu-shabu station, seafood station (sashimi, crabs, prawns, scampis, oysters), dessert station.Who is this for? People who love prawns, sashimi and desserts. The prawns and scampis looked fresh. The prawns were huuuuggeeee and very sweet! You can eat them raw or cooked at the communal shabu-shabu station. I like how they have thinly sliced beef for it too. There is a wide array of sashimi and one type of oyster, they were decent but the crabs were small, very fishy and didnt taste good (no taste or texture). The prawn tempuras were pretty good! The steamed egg (chawanmushi) was yum but not special. The cooked salmon was delicious.Their desserts were amazing! I love the sake creme brulee, coffee jelly and chocolate tart. If you do go there, go crazy on them! Will I come back? No. Im very disappointed. The quality does not match my expectations for the price and theme and I have been to other buffet that impressed me more.Although some items were really good, why call it a GRAND SEAFOOD buffet? At that price, they have a very limited selection of seafood. Id rather pay more and go to a better seafood buffet. To me, it was more like a normal Japanese buffet with slightly more seafood. The cooked dishes were average overall (most of them werent seafood if you are thinking of a seafood fest). For example, the beef on sticks (yakitori) were dry, very hard and chewy. Their beef tataki at the salad bar was equally hard and tasteless. I dont know if they do different dishes everyday, but none of them stood out. As another reviewer pointed out, the fruit punch was like canned fruits in diluted syrup.Service: the lady at the reception was very sweet and accomodating but the waitress who served us was rather cold.

  Went to Katsura without reservation and found ourselves in a very elegant Japanese restaurant. The atmosphere is very pleasant with teppanyaki on the side, a bar and seating down the back. Our waitress was very friendly and attentive, constantly filling out water. We ordered the beef tataki, lobster salad, medium sashimi, pork ramen and salmon deep fried philadelphia roll. It was perfect for two and came to $103. The food came out really fast and altogether, with the seafood being very fresh! You can taste the quality.

  Disappointing food selections and desserts. Seafood is fresh and refilled very fast but hot food was not great at all. Beef was very very chewy and chicken meat was very hard to swallow. Beef tataki was very chewy and desserts only few selections of mini sized tarts and fruits when i was expecting green tea and japanese mochi desserts. Service was ok but to be fair with $80 i would rather go to different buffet with less fish selections. I think if you are obsessed with oysters sashimi not much on sushi but fresh shrimps this place for you. If you are after a buffet expereince i do not recommend this place.
