It was Mother's Day and I decided to treat my mum to a meal at this restaurant after having a good rest for the whole day.

This is my first time at Empire State, very good experience after having 3 Course Meal at S$29.99/set because that does not include Service Charge and 7% G.S.T.

The food is great, but not for hygiene because the floor is very dirty and slippery and their front entrance. In addition, the waiter just used a cloth to wipe the tea spoons in front of diners after serving desserts without any tea spoon being served.

Although their price is of the usual market price, their service is bad because the waiter have to collect payments at 9.28 p.m. before desserts being served.

Therefore, not worth it to have dinner in this restaurant and I felt sorry for not able to have a good gift to my mother.

When my mother and me reached there, the waiter was helpful in leading us to a table for seat and look at their menu. I was quite surprised that they serve ala carte as well as sets for dinner in Central at Clarke Quay.

We ordered 2 sets, one is Sundubu Dinner Set ($12.99) and the other is Daeji Bulgogi Dinner Set ($12.99) - came with miso & rice because we wished to have rice and soup. That's why these sets are a good option.

I found that the service is just nice because the waiter came to apologise with my mother for late in serving her dinner set by giving complimentary Kimchi and Salad.

Since they served Singapore Best Food, I decided to spend time in writing this dining guide so that people will visit this Japanese BBQ restaurant after reading my food review. Unfortunately, I had forgotten to ask the cashier whether is there any promotion on mother's day after making my payments.

Conclusion: Harimaya is still a relatively good dining choice where you can enjoy Japanese barbecue meat at authentic taste.

Mix together the orange and lemon juice to sweeten your bread is very nice after purchasing from this Spanish restaurant in Singapore. They are famous in serving delicious breads. Their bread production is on daily basis. The bread is big and is generously given by the counter staff at promotional price as buy one free one during our visit at 10.55 p.m.

I have my bowl of mee pok, which my girlfriend are having most of the times. Therefore, she'll try mee kia this time. Although the noodle is springy and the fish ball is excellent, you are expect to wait for at least half an hour or more.

Conclusion: Very good food and value for money.

When my mother and me reached this venue, it was crazily crowded. I saw groups of people camping outside of the restaurant waiting for the waiter to call their names and bring them up to the second floor for their tables. It is busy at night especially on weekends, but I told my girlfriend that there is a good reason for me to choose the popular place as Great food at a great price (Cheap Korean BBQ buffet).

Beef short rib, sausage, pork belly and prawns are my favourite. Pork chop is tender, but not so tasty.

After my stomach being filled up with food, I discovered that I love all the nice food due to the meats are really very fresh and real korean style. Side dishes are those cook food and salad bar, which are really very appertising as shown in above photographs.

Spicy Seafood Noodle's portion is huge!!

Lastly, I wished to address to everybody is the cashier of this restaurant has to collect payment from diners latest by 10.30 p.m. even though it open till 11.00 p.m. Service here sucks too because floor is oily and slippery, so all of us must be really careful when walking to the toilet for washing our hands after our meals.

My tips to everybody as $26.00 is all you can eat FREE FLOW BBQ meat and you must try because it's awesome!!! Good food and VALUE FOR MONEY compared to other Korean restaurants where each entry is $30+! Beware that you might smell like a piece of BBQ meat on yourself after the meal because that is quite hot inside due to little A/C. Please be early, otherwise you have to wait an hour like me.
