We finally fixed a date to dine there. Dinner buffet price for Mon - Thu for Adults is $23.90++, kids below 9yrs old eats for free.

I noticed this new restaurant owned by MOF at Nex since early January and had been pestering my girlfriends to go try it out. We finally fixed a date to dine there. Dinner buffet price for Mon - Thu for Adults is $23.90++, kids below 9yrs old eats for free. You'll need to pay a couple of dollars more for weekend dining plus there is a $9.90++ charge for kids age 3 - 9yrs old. As a MOF Citizen, we get a 10% off the total bill so 4 of us only paid $25 each for the buffet.
The restaurant has an oriental style decor with bamboo lining the dining areas.
Every 2 persons gets to choose 2 types of soup, so 4 of us can choose 4 type of soups from the list of 7 kinds of soup found in different regions in Japan.
For the 1st pot we chose the two Recommended soups...Akita wafu broth (cooked with pork, chicken, shrimp and assorted vege) and Nara chicken & milk broth (cooked with milk, chicken, shrimp, onion and other vege). For the second pot, we picked the Hokkaido wafu miso broth (cooked with salmon, shrimp, fish balls, radish and other vege) and Shikoku chicken spicy broth (cooked with pork, chicken, shrimp, onion and other vege).
I liked the Akita broth best...very wafu (和风) taste...sweet and light and gradually turns more and more flavorful after cooking various ingredients in it.The buffet spread is huge, has wide selections of cooked and raw food. I'll let the pictures do the talking..
Cooked food includes Fried snacks like spring rolls, lotus roots, wanton etc. Crispy pork ribs, fried rice, fried mixed vege, cold soba, sushi, poached eggs...and the list goes on.Numerous raw food stations includes marinated meats, fresh seafood, assorted vege, all kinds of balls etc. I'm pretty sure nobody can try everything within one meal session..
On top of these, they also have soup station, drinks station, dessert station and soft serve ice cream station...this is truyly eat-till-you-drop!
The cooked food such as sushi/maki, fried rice, crispy fried snacks (wanton, lotus roots, spring rolls, tori karaage etc.) and pork ribs were all pretty tasty! As for raw food...most items were fresh and tasted good cooked in the broths..no complains. My personal fave is the Akita broth & Shikoku spicy broth. The Nara broth is too milky for my taste, Hokkaido broth is not as sweet as Akita's.
I am almost filled to the brim...but still insisted to have desserts...the soft serve ice cream is a must try! Fruits and jellies were not too bad either.
Our dining experience here was good, food quality and variety was above expectations for the price we paid. Service staffs comes regularly to clear unwanted dishes to make way for new ones. Definitely value for money!
