Went there with a bunch of friends, not having high expectations cos the place isn't very famous. I mean, it is not widely heard of as a Japanese buffet restaurant. Also, location wise, was not very convenient for me.

The food was better than what I expected!
The weekday dinner buffet is about 30 plus for adults. The variety is wide and I did not manage to try every single dish but many of the recommended dishes did not disappoint. I did not take pictures of every dish as we were too busy eating and talking.
Seasoned Baby Octopus. Common dish in most Japanese restaurants. Their seasoning was just nice. Not overwhelmingly sweet nor salty. Texture was crunchy. The baby octopuses were quite huge too.
Pork Belly. It was soooooo well marinated and it tastes like the Cha Shu of a nice Japanese Ramen. The fats disintegrate easily and once it enters into your mouth, it melts. I really wanted wanted to finish all the fats but it was too unhealthy. Ordered several portions of these though cos the meat just tastes too good!
Fresh sashimi, generously sliced. Salmon, octopus, yellow tail, tuna, sea bass. Another dish that we ordered several portions of. I was quite impressed for such a humble restaurant, the sashimi is of these standard. Not bad!
Teriyaki Chicken (tastes similar to its Salmon counterpart)
Teriyaki Salmon. Nothing much to say about. Just tastes like any other normal grilled salmon drizzled with teriyaki sauce. But I like the taste of the sauce.
Yaki Niku - This stir-fried beef is awesome! It is the usual sweetly marinated thinly sliced beef stir fried with garlic and onions, sesame seeds.... I ate 2 plates on my own. This comes in another flavour - Black Pepper, which was nice well because the black pepper taste is not overwhelming. This is also a quite common dish and I think korean cuisines have such a dish too.The crowd wasn't very good. Probably cos of the location?
Location wise, I felt that it was pretty off for those who take public transport. It is quite a distance to the nearest MRT station (we actually walked from Orchard MRT). Nonetheless, it was a good dining experience! (:
The staff were observant and service was prompt. The dishes that we ordered all arrived in the right quantity despite us placing order messily in drips and draps.
Sadly, the dessert were not included in the buffet. A top-up is required so we gave it a miss.
