Been to quite a few buffet restaurants recently, I quite miss my sakura buffet. It has been quite a few years since I dine there. On a Monday night, I climb all the way up to the restaurant on top of the hill and found the price is still reasonable $30 nett per person. To my surprise, it wasn't very crowded. The seafood at level 2 were not fresh (you will know it when you start eating their sashimi), there was not much variety for the buffet spread. I do agree that $30 nett what do you expect? H

Been to quite a few buffet restaurants recently, I quite miss my sakura buffet. It has been quite a few years since I dine there. On a Monday night, I climb all the way up to the restaurant on top of the hill and found the price is still reasonable $30 nett per person. To my surprise, it wasn't very crowded.

The seafood at level 2 were not fresh (you will know it when you start eating their sashimi), there was not much variety for the buffet spread. I do agree that $30 nett what do you expect? However, the choice was really limited and some of the food not replenish after 7.30pm. I was there at 7.30pm and waited for the whole night for the otah and pizza, but none was replenished.

The restaurant closed at 10pm and suppose last serving is at 9.30pm, however, to my horror, the service staff started to sweep the floor at 9pm. Initially we thought they will only swept the area without customers, but they actually swept nest to us (less than a foot away).
Hygiene?

One more point to note, last serving at 9.30pm is for the buffet spread, the hot drinks machine is off for maintenance at 9pm, hence no more hot drinks after 9pm.

The only plus point is that they served Ben & Jerry ice cream!

I hope that this bad experience only subject to the outlet at Clementi, but I may not have the courage to try other outlets.
