Steamboat at Suki -ya

The four of us went for steamboat dinner at Suky-ya (Marina Square) . The price per head is $25.90++ with a 25% discount on the total price of 4 persons. Service was quick as there were not many customers. The waiter asked us what sort of soup we wanted.He also explained which are the spicy ones. I asked him to recommend a popular soup.You have a choice of two.We had a clear soup and Miso soup.Next he asked us for choice of meat.

Next he asked us for choice of meat. We took chicken,beef and pork.they are thinly sliced and laid neatly in a black opened faced box. This makes it easy to cook. There is free flow of drinks, pepsi, green tea ,7-up etc .

There are plenty choice of vegetables , mushrooms ,straw and shitake.eggs ,corn and toufu .There is a wonderful selection of sauces to go with your food.

There are apples and ice cream to finish off .

My friend and I got a groupon offer for $35 for 2 buffets.. We queued for about 15 minutes till we were allocated a booth. The waiter asked what soups we wanted and we decided to try sukiyaki and shabu shabu. The sukiyaki broth is sweet and yet not too sweet for my liking. The shabu shabu was a bit too bland for my taste but it was a good choice, as we later asked to change it to Laksa and the waiter simply poured the laksa gravy onto the shabu shabu.

 The sukiyaki broth is sweet and yet not too sweet for my liking. The shabu shabu was a bit too bland for my taste but it was a good choice, as we later asked to change it to Laksa and the waiter simply poured the laksa gravy onto the shabu shabu. The Laksa broth wasn't spicy and I don't normally like spicy
so it's great for non-spicy lovers.
I love the cheesy tofu they had and the beef was fresh and we devoured 6 full plates of them.

 You can easily order the meat which is either beef, pork or chicken from any of the waiters and you will get them within minutes. I dipped the cooked meat into the raw egg sauce and it was a great combination. Sadly though, the soft serve chocolate ice cream was a let down, it tasted like ice... no chocolate whatsoever.. even though there were corn flakes, rainbow bits and even lil peanuts as toppings. We ended up going to McDonalds to get our flavourburst soft serve ice creams instead.

 A detailed piece of instruction was placed on the dining table for diners' understanding and to properly enjoy the process of sukiyaki as well as shabu shabu. Even the types of broth was stated in the paper when it comes to pairing the sauces. This really give an overall idea!

 There are only an island of self serving counters, front and back for diners to pick noodles, processed food, sauces as well as vegetables. Though the spread may not be that extensive as most buffet restaurant but it was all good enough.

 There are 6 types of soup broth for diners to choose from, sukiyaki, laksa, kimchi, tonyu miso, butaniku and shabu shabu. We had chosen laksa and Sukiyaki for the base. The pot was placed on an induction cooker with controllers by the side of the table.

Laksa was fragrant and thick which fills the stomach easily whereas sukiyaki sauce was a combination of sweet and salty taste, more towards my likings.

 Each tray comes with 5 pieces of sliced pork, they were in thin slices. 3 kinds of meat, pork, beef and chicken were available. However one can opt for unlimited wagyu beef at an additional of $10.

 Overall, service was abit lacking here and there - they seems to be understaffed. We were frantically waving countless times to catch attention. Other than that, I would say that Suki-ya is a good gathering place for groups to catch up while enjoying their buffet meals.

Affordable Japanese Hotpot Buffet
2014-04-27 194 views
The best thing about this restaurant is their unlimited servings of thinly sliced meat at an affordable price. Overall, quality of the food was decent, service can be improved. if you don't mind the nonchalant service and simply just want to enjoy Japanese hotpot with unlimited meat, this is a good place for you.

Lunch buffet is at $17.90 and they are having a promotion where the 2nd diner gets to eat for $10.90. Worth it! The ingredients are very fresh. The meat is thinly sliced and gets cooked quickly in the boiling soup. The soup bases taste healthy too. They have a wide variety of vegetables. As for the meat selection, there's only pork, chicken and beef but it will surely make you satisfied!

 The good thing about Suky-Ya is that the meat are very fresh. Their meat is served to you on a per order basis to ensure freshness, and also to ensure that you dont waste food. The staffs were pretty attentive and meat gets served within 5 minutes so that's a really plus point. However, the negative point is the selection is very minimal. Only Chicken, Pork and Beef is available.

 Other than meat, they also have a salad bar near the entrance with a selection of vegetables and meat balls to go with your steamboat. The variety is also limited but I guess it suffice.

ready? get set...GO! 100 minutes to eat your fill at this shabu-shabu buffet for $21.90++!

there is a choice of three different soup bases - shabu shabu, sukiyaki (my favourite! sweet soy sauce <3) and kimuchi (a spicy miso soup). after choosing your soup, you're then free to get whatever food you like!
but do not waste! cos they have a policy of charging 20% or sth for wastage. no idea how it works cos we didn't want to try it out! lol!

there are two rows of various kinds of vegetables, tofu, balls of every kind, mushrooms and sauces for you to take your pick from. we had tons of fun grabbing everything we saw! my two favourites were the tofu (with the skin, not the white kind) and the balls with CHEESE in it! haha it was d*** awesome. when you bite (deep) into it, the cheese will actually squirt out!
it was quite hilarious actually! you need skill to eat it neatly xD i'm proud to say i mastered it ;) hahaha.

there are also eggs for you to cook any way you like. half-cooked eggs anyone?

there is also a free flow of meat - choice of chicken, beef and pork!
dunno why the rest didnt like the chicken! i found it quite nice what! haha. i liked the pork the most!!! and the beef was not bad too. they were super thin slices of meat, so there was no need to wait very long before we could devour them


we completely spammed our pot right from the start! that's probably not a good idea though, cos it took forever to start boiling!
Looks gooooood right!
yippee!

each diner is also entitled to one serving of ice cream!
yayyyyyyy! haha okay you can barely see my ice cream here, buried under all my toppings. you know how extreme i am right
lols. anyway, it was nice! kinda reminded me of mr bean ice cream. haha. i loved the chocolate sauce! and the peanuts! and coloured sprinkles!
so proud of my ice cream

 Finally, we were throwing whatever ingredients on table into the soup. Meat they offered were fresh, food selection area was always being topped up. Plenty choices to pick from, it was splendid. Soup was warm and heart melting. What we were going to do was nonstop eating! Price was fixed at $15.90 (lunch) & $19.90 (dinner) for Monday to Thursday, additional $2.00 for weekends and public holidays. It was absolutely reasonable for their environment and food. A memorable and pleasant visit for us, I will definitely come again next time.

However i would say suki-ya ingredients are generally quite fresh as compared to those steamboat restaurants which are outdoor. They also have desserts too (ice cream) but i forgot to take photo of it


Overall, i find the food taste really good in the pot with suki yaki soup base. each of us pay around $25 for lunch. worth it
i will definitely be back.

 Besides the buffet items included, you can order a la carte items, such as edamame, gyoza, ebi tempura and my personal favourite - unagi kebayaki. Alcoholic and other drink options are available as well.

Please do note that food wastage is heavily charged at 20% of total bill.

Prior to this, I've done some online research on Suki-Ya and found quite a handful of bloggers/diners complaining about their unsatisfactory services. However, I find no problems with the service staff (or is it because of the merry festive?), but they could definitely improve on their food variety, perhaps by including some of the a la carte items into the buffet.

Ice-cream is available as a dessert during dinner.

Drink orders are not included in the buffet price. Free-flow drinks are available for an additional cost per person.

The shabu shabu cuts here have never disappointed in the two visits I made.
But because of how thinly they were cut, you might not eat your money's worth of meat if you are a small eater.

The dinner queue can get rather long. Fortunately, the time restriction helps shorten the wait.

     Sukiya opened a new branch in Tampines Mall's basement after the mall's extensive renoworks. So we decided to give them a try since it is the only place for steamboat in the Tampines central vicinity apart from Seoul Garden (sick of it liao).

    Branches: We ate at Sukiya in their Tampines Mall branch twice and each time we were not let down. However, their Bugis Plus branch was a real disappointment. The usual kimuchi broth that we took was so watered down that it tasted like plain tap water instead. The premise at Bugis Plus was also dirty. A previous customer dropped a broken egg right at the foot of the table which the staff allocated me. As the outlet was packed with a long queue at that time and staff busy scurrying up and down giving shoddy service, I just ignored the icky sticky mess of the broken egg and sat with my feet apart to prevent stepping on the egg spills. The Bugis Plus' selection of vegetables are also horrible. Sukiya's famous grilled tofu was not even on the buffet bar throughout our dining. In all, we ate at Sukiya on weekends so there should be no excuse of low patronage not to stock up on their vegetables. The Tampines Mall branch was much better as they frequently stock up on their grilled tofu the moment the tray ran dry.

    I have to say for our first dining experience, Sukiya at Tampines was good. They had multiple broths to choose from: Kimuchi, Sukiyaki, Shabu Shabu and one more milky based broth which name I forgot already. The milk based broth is only available on the weekends however.

    Broth: Customers are able to choose two different types of broth for their steamboat so on our first try we had Kimuchi since I loved spicy stuff and the clear Shabu Shabu broth. Both broths proved to be addictive. Later on on our 3rd visit, we had the Sukiyaki broth for our first time and it was a huge disappointment. The sukiyaki broth was rather sweet and tasted like cheapo pasty broth so much so that mid way we decided to abandon the sukiyaki broth and just stick to the kimuchi one instead.

    Meat cuts: The chicken slices were a let down for that first visit but the pork and beef cuts were awesome! In fact, we had a tray which looked like wagyu beef because of its fine marbling in the grain of the meat. The pork slices had some streaky fats running along them. Their meat cuts aren't very consistent as some trays were pretty bad (lotsa fats) while some were good (lean or good marbling).

    Choice/Selections: Fair. Mostly vegetables like Xiao Bai Cai, Romaine leeks, egg, bamboo shoots, their famous grilled tofu, udon, ramen, some of those cheapo yong tau foo stuff like fishballs, crabsticks, fishcakes, etc...

    Recommendations: The Kimuchi broth at Tampines Mall went very well with the xiao bai cai vege. For someone who is not a green person, I couldn't believe myself when I started gulping down the xbc cooked in the kimuchi broth. Its THAT good.
    The Kimuchi broth is a must-have whenever I step into Sukiya. Supposedly spicy, the broth is so mild for me that I wish I could dump some chilli padis in them if they have them at the buffet bar.
    Do go for the Tampines Mall branch as their quality is consistent and up to standard. Their Bugis Plus branch is a total let down and waste of empty calories (you get watered down broth instead of actual soup broth) with horrible choice selections.

    My friend gave me a treat at Suki-ya. Felt like having steamboat today with lots of beef and pork. So here we are at a relatively value for money steamboat that is clean, air-conditioned and in the heart of a shopping area. The selection of meat is good, for the price, the beef is of pretty good quality. I mean it is not top notch but taking into account the price, well you cant lift your expectations too high. They have a decent selection of food. I heard it gets pretty crowded during dinner t

    Steamboat At Suki-Ya
    2012-04-05 14 views
    Suki-ya buffet really have very fresh thinly sliced beef, pork and chicken that will impressed the meat lovers. All foods are served to you upon order and the soup base used in their steamboat is light in taste and not too oily. There is also a free flow bar for your to pick up your healthy range of vegetables, pickles, toufu and different types of sauces. Overall the experience was quite enjoyable and the environment is pretty cosy here too. Great place to have a quiet lunch with your loves
