My friend asked me out for a Japanese buffet lunch date at Chiso Zanmai two days after she got back from her school trip to Japan. Only been back in Singapore for two days and she is already missing Japan food! This girl ah.

We didn't try their shizuoka oden because they didn't look that appetizing. We tried their ramen, and totally regretted our choice. No doubt the pork slices were quite decent, the rest of the ramen was just ... meh. The broth was too soupy and noodles too soft. It was as though we were having maggie mee instead of ramen.
Chiso Zanmai is also slow in refilling the food. Their cold counter (consists of salad and some seafood) was rather empty when we went back for our 2nd round.
We were there on a Tuesday and that probably explains the small crowd that day.
Their matcha tofu was so goooood we had a few more pieces.Overall, the staff were efficient in clearing our plates (maybe a little too enthusiastic at the same time) and we thought Chiso Zanmai is actually quite a good place for birthday celebrations if you are looking for a restaurant that won't burn your pocket and has ample space for large group gatherings.
I heard they serve sashimi for the dinner buffet, do check it out if you love your sashimi!
