The two things that formed my impression of Irodori Japanese Restaurant: Lightning Speed Service and Affordability ($36.8++). In addition, serving above-average food standard contributed to their numerous accolades and awards. On top of all these, selected card holders (find out HERE) will enjoy an additional 15% off for LUNCH buffet!
Nothing fanciful nor grandiose, ambiance at Irodoriis themed towards zen, oriental and casual.
Menu is neatly organised into different food types with easy to read description for each dish.
After browsing through the menu, we were ready to order!
After making ending my last order and before I could complete my first paragraph, came our first dish in 9.57s! Breaking the world's 100m record.
Just to name a few, here were our orders: Salmon Sashimi, California Maki, Soft Shell Crab Maki, Grilled Prawns, Salmon Head etc.
Certain dishes were disappointing: Grilled Bacon with golden mushroom and another grilled beef.
Overall, I was very pleased with Irodori Japanese Restaurant. Left the place a happy person as I didn't burn my pocket and the food was value for money!

*Pris and I decided to meet for lunch at Irodori Japanese Restaurant, since she mentioned that the Japanese food here was good, and I have yet to try it for myself. The open concept dining area was already filled with diners when we met up before noon. We were seated and served the Cold Tofu starter - with some salted vegetables and Japanese soy sauce, a tantalising appetite-teaser while we browsed the menus to order from this ala carte buffet setting.

Next, the Beef Slices - succulent and tasty, especially with the sweet flavor of onions infused into the flesh and gravy.
And the Lobster with roe - we were only allowed to have one each of this item. For the lobster lovers, this was definitely a favorite with us - springy fresh lobster meat, tinged with natural sweetness and the crunchiness / crinkling bursts of roe atop added a unique texture to the dish.

Moving on, the platter of Sashimi platter that we could not do without. Fresh, succulent and tasty, the tuna, swordfish, snapper and salmon slices were devoured rather quickly with squeezes of lemon and wasabi. We had another platter of this item, especially the Salmon and Swordfish sashimi.

Fresh japanese buffet. Will definitely return again in future!

I have been to a number of Japanese buffet restaurants and I must say this is one of my preferred ones because it serves my favourite mekajiki (swordfish) sashimi that comes in thick cuts and always taste fresh and sweet.

At S$35++ per adult, you can order as much (don’t waste food though!) as you want from their menu of more than 100 items, ranging from sashimi, makimono (rolled sushi), yakimono (grilled dishes), nigiri sushi (finger press), temaki (hand roll), ippinmono (appetisers), agemono (deep fried dishes) to teppanyaki and more.

The moment you sit down, the service staff will take orders for drinks and serve you this adorable looking appetizer which is actually matcha (green tea) tofu with tempura crumbs as topping. Very light and refreshing – a good start to the meal.

The good thing about the buffet here is that food is only prepared upon ordering so hot dishes arrive piping hot whereas sashimi is freshly sliced on the spot.

I like sitting by the bar counter so I can see the chefs at work and sometimes engage in small talk with them when they are free. The sashimi chef working right in front of us always ask if we’d like another plate of sashimi whenever our plate goes empty. Of course, we’d never reject seconds or thirds. That’s what we are here for. Just to satisfy our sashimi cravings to our hearts’ content.

Despite that, it doesn’t mean the other food on the menu is not worth trying. There may be hits and misses but I’m sure everyone will find a few things he/she likes and may grow addicted to.

I tend to avoid carbs at buffets as usual so sushi is a no-no for me. But my husband always order the Irodori Maki which has mayonnaise on top and a few of his usual must-eat sushi just to fill himself up (even more) O_o

这是一间种类多的日本自助歺,有100样食物供大家选择,这里是不用出去选择,只要坐下看着歺牌点菜便可。虽然地方不是很方便,因为附近没有地铁站,但是地点因为是酒店內,所以环境幽美。而且价钱也不很贵,午歺比较优惠,而且有八五折。晚上就没有折扣。这里值得推介原因是食物都很新鲜,尤其是鱼生,朋友们都赞不绝口。而且种类很多,味道又有水准。尤其是熟的更是我的最愛,因为很多选择,所以老少咸宜。而自己比较爱的是软壳蟹寿司,金针菇牛肉卷。如果想吃得比较顺,可以点菜时一边叫一边食,因为每当客人较多时,传莱的速度会有点慢。所以要注意。(而且最好打电话订位,晚上很多时候没有位!千万不要直接去啊!)如果可以做到有中文翻译歺牌就更加好。

They offer grilled dishes here too, my top picks were Kanistick bacon Maki, sweet tasting crabstick wrapped with savory bacon; Yakitori, scrumptious chicken cut into bite size and glazed with teriyaki sauce then grilled to perfection. Rarely seen appetizer Soramame(Broad bean) is served here, firm green in colored bean looked plain but has great beanie flavors. I love their teppan yaki section, buta kimuchee is delicious, tender pork slice with sour and crunchy kimchi. My favorite dish all time is Tempura Ebi, crispy battered coating a pale orange delectable ebi. At a reasonable price $35++ we get to eat unlimited supply of fresh sashimi, sushi, teppan yaki, etc. I’ll be back for sure.

Irodori Japanese Restaurant has a very extensive selection of dishes for its buffet menu and its buffet is priced at a reasonable $35++, as compared to other more famous Japanese buffet restaurants. The ambience is also rather quiet and they offer lots of special dishes like green tea tofu (which was fantastic) and ebi mentai mayo which was also very good. The sashimi was fantastic because it was clearly very fresh and sliced perfectly without being too thick. Certainly worth a visit!

Simply love buffet especially going with a group of friends and you can order as much as you can to share the food. Spending $35++ simply worth it at Irodori! We were served a cold tofu once we are settle down and after making order we have some complimentary food coming on the way together with the food we ordered. Love the grill prawn, grill fish and there is one more braised fish which was quite nice with the sauce. Sashimi was equally good .... love the maki too generous mayonnise was top

The salmon belly simply melts onto the tongue releasing its fragrance into the mouth...and the tobiko roe just adds extra texture to the fish...highly recommended to order this on top of the buffet menu!

We were stuffed after over eating numerous variety of dishes...nobody is able to finish tasting all the dishes in one seating...you gotta come back for more!

Without fail, i will always end the meal with sesame ice cream with red bean! Super yum! Reasonably priced at $35++ for dinner, can consider coming here yah =)

October meet-up to celebrate our friend's birthday.In short, there was a good variety of ala-carte dishes here and the food was good. Sashimi was fresh and thickly sliced. The lunch buffet cost $35++ and with OCBC credit card, you will get to enjoy 15% off. However, probably due to shortage of staff, service was very slow. We ordered quite a number of servings for the fresh sashimi and we were all satisfied with the food, though not with the service.For more details and photos, please visit

I always been loving to eat japanese sushi and raw salmon. However i think this is the only Japanese restaurant that has impressed me with their deep fried fish head. The fish meat is very fresh, soft and with no stingy smell in it. Great to eat it on its own or with a bowl of their premium japanese rice. Usually I will order 2 pieces for my family to share with me. Served hot to our table too.

If you're looking for an Ala-carte Japanese buffet that can spoil you crazy, go no further. Big credits to my father-in-law, who is a mega fan of Japanese food, our family discovered this restaurant that is now our family favourite when it comes to Japanese food fare.

This quaint-sized restaurant has one of the most wordy menu ever (http://www.irodorijapaneserestaurant.com.sg/images/Buffet/irodori_buffertmenu.pdf) but this only serves to built up your appetite, though it can also serve to confuse you on what to choose first! The rule of thumb before you feast here would be to have a really empty stomach to begin your major tuck-in. Reserve your seats and be early too since it's usually rather packed!

My personal favourite starter would be the Sashimi Moriawase (mix sashimi) where their cuts of the sake, maguro, hamachi, mekajiki, tako & tai are simply so fresh and savoury! The Irodori Maki and Saba Shioyaki also made its way to my favourites list. Oh and you must try their Hiyayako (Cold Tofu) too, it's surprisingly good!

I'm not a fan of handrolls but the Shake Temaki was quite a delight! Their Chawanmushi was also one of the few good ones that I've tried so far (making good Chawanmushi is an art!). Also, what's a Japanese meal without the Tempuras and Agemonos? You can just take your pick because their vegetables and seafood are impressively fresh. For Teppan Yaki, go for the Buta Enoki Maki or Beef Enoki Maki; they're just... WOW!*fireworks on tastebuds*

To be honest, most of the items on the buffet menu are really good. But you can skip the following: the Karaages and the Gyozas - not impressive.
