One of the best non-alacarte Japanese buffet I've had, even compared to those I tried in Singapore. Its salmon is surprisingly good for a buffet, and my Japanese friends attested to that. The selection is not as wide as i had imagined it to be, but it's still decent enough to fill your stomach. The freeflow beverages impressed me the most, as for the price you are paying, the drinks alone could be worth more than half of it. Plum wine is a must try and a little alcohol would not hurt in a big group meal setting. Overall, highly recommended.

Touted as the place where tour guides love to bring tourists to impress them, this restaurant is indeed unique in its own way. You can't find another place with a similar decor and style. 



















Yes, it goes up to 4 stories high.

Personally though, I was not impressed with the food. Yes, there is a wide range of selection but what we ordered did not make me go wow. The pork knuckles portion was a tad too small and the free tea drink that came with our set meal was just plain normal. Service was pretty slow too, despite there not being many customers. I wonder how it'd be like if it was packed. Overall though, come for the experience, not the food.
