Ordered: Two person buffet
Taste: As this was a buffet, we ordered quite a lot
salmon sashimi- Was fresh and thic cut. acceptable but it isnt the freshest or nicest i have
Califonia Roll - This was abit dry and not as fresh but better than other rolls they have offered
Salmon sushi -This was average but the rice was way too big. Kimchi dumpling -I loved this. when this arrived, it was very hot and tasted good. nice and crispy on outside. And it was spicy on outside, but i guess they bought it.
Smoked duck breast - I found this rather weird. Thin slice of duck breast with stuffing. It was cold. I did not like it.
Beef Tartar - This was served with musturd, very nice.Cherry tomatoes & Bacon skewer: This was the bacon wrapping around the cherry tomato. It smelt really nice but once you bite into it, the tomatoe burst and the taste is too strong you cannot taste the bacon.
Beef skewer- this was very juicy and I liked the sauce. But the meat was a bit tough.japanese cold noodles: This was surprisingly good. With crab meat and shredded cucumber on top of the noodles. The noodles sauce was already mixed in with sesame oil. Very tasty!
Eel fried rice: This was quite badly made. i hardly saw any eel in it. Not enoughs sauce. but the rice itself was good. I liked the japanese rice.
Tofu: this tofu was really hard and dried. didnt like itthe salad: The salad cant be that bad as it was buffet style salad. The vegetable was still fresh. with lettuce, tomatoes, cucumbers and sweetcorn. there were few sauces to choose from. salad cream, mayonnaise and some japanese sauce.
Octopus Ball- This was made very nicely. two on a skewer and they ere nice and hot. With some sauce on top of it. taste better than the ones outside.
Pork neck skewer: This was really good. Very well marinade.Poached egg: this looked perfectly made, and it was. But it was tasteless!!!
PAPER GRILL PLATTER
Wagyu Beef- This was brilliantly good. I culdnt taste it was wagyu but could taste it wasnt any cheap beef. Maybe we cooked it too long, the meat wasnt juicy and bit tough. but with the sauce, it was surely good
pork: This pork was good, wasnt like those thick tough pork, this was thinly with some fat pork. it was so good.Chicken: It was average. not that good. But with the sauce, it was okay.
Veg: Pumpkin and mushroom: Nothing special. tasted the same.
Dessert- tiramisu - They gave us a really small portion of tiramisu which wasnt even good. Could not taste the alcohol in it, the cream wasnt good and hard.
ToFu ice cream- tasted really like tofu and have this after taste of tofu and soy milk. Was okay but green tea would have been beta.Conclusion: RThe reason I came because I have bought coupons, $139 for $388. Seemed like a great deal esp for a buffet. i was outside and already smeing the food. was smelling great. But once I walked in i was not greeted. i stood there for ages to wait to be served. And still, waitresses and waiters was just staring. until the manager (I guessed so as he was dressed in suit unlike the others) greeted me. i told him i have made reservation, and he seemed to have said yes then asked again. Then we followed him and he couldnt decide where to seat us. impression eh gave me was rude and did not know what he was doing. After we were seated, he did not explain to us about where to get food, how to order, drinks or ANYTHING. After I asked one of the waitress, she also had no idea what she was talking about and shrugged us off. Then the manager finally came back, gave us two menu and vaguely said the salad buffet is outside, others needed to be ordered. Then I asked another waitress if ALL food can be re-ordered, again, she had no idea nad told us ask the manager again. I was furious by then.
how could they possibly have no idea what they were doing r serving. i was really confused and it just needed simple explanations.
Anyhow we found out ourselves where the drinks are. When we bought the coupons, it staed there are drinks available like - coca-cola, coke light, sprite, orange squash, lime soda, lemon lime etc But when we were there, here were only 3 drinks to choose from, cheap orange squash, fresh lime soda, lemon lime. WHERE WAS THE COKE AND SPRITE? Was it too expensive so there werent any? Then at dessert, it stated there are ice cream mochi and green tea ice cream. but the waiter said nomore ice cream mochi., and green tea ice cream has been replaced to Tofu ice cream. i wonder why? So anything that was nice is not available.the original price of the buffet was $388 each. For quality like this, i will not pay. I guess it was because of the paper grill so it was so expensive. I was excited to see what so special about the paper grill, but it was just a piece of paper that absorbs the oil The food at paer grill was good and fresh but i dont think it was all that. Not for $388. I mean there werent many drinks but those sugary soda that taste like syrup water. Other food was just average and not even properly made. Service was real bad. Only good thingw a sthey were very hardworking in claning up the finished food plates off your table, so hardworking that some of my food werent finished, theyw ould take it away.
But i must say i liked the restaurant. I like the seatings. Very spacious and not squashed. And had your own privacy. But that is it. at teh end we even had to pay $78 for the service charge. For $138, it was good experience but will not be returning. Not for $388.
