The Hokkaido Buffet Experience?๐ค๐ค๐ค More like just a run-down dining place with a few nice food.๐ฉ
Not really a person who cares about the place ambient much but I got to make some comments on it.๐
Firstly, we were greeted by dim lighting, okay. Then, the dim lighting started flickering for a long while and it's quite disruptive to the eye. Worst situation might cause vertigo to diners. Imagine you get spinning from eating sushi but not the good kind.๐ซ๐ต
Next, the place needs an upgrade or revamp please. The interior is totally old, oriental and not much of Japanese feel. You can see from their table that the place used to be some hotpot/grilling restaurant. Putting Japanese related ornaments at the entrance or some paintings on the walls doesn't help much either.๐ฉ
Okay, let's move on to the food.
Again another Big Nope for me is the Tea, it was not refilled and super cold please. You know the expectation just went zooming down fast like a roller coaster.๐ต๐ But after informing, it was much better.
What we had,
๐๐ฝ๐ฝ๐ฒ๐๐ถ๐๐ฒ๐ฟ
- Tamago Yaki a bit sweet.
- Ikura Chawanmushi๐, the one of the few items that is pretty solid less the prawn in it kinda overcooked, otherwise, its a smooth egg.
- Pitan Tofu(Century Egg Tofu)๐ classic.
๐ฆ๐ฎ๐๐ต๐ถ๐บ๐ถ(Fresh & Ultra Thick Cut) Thick cut is always welcome but theirs will cause jelak-ness overtime.
- Maguro(Tuna)๐
- Meikajiki(Swordfish)๐
- Hamachi(Yellowtail)๐
- Tako(Octopus)๐
- Salmon๐
๐ฆ๐๐๐ต๐ถ๐
Great stuff, the rice is sticky and flavourful on its own. All the Aburi on it paired well with it. Comes with either Mentai or Garlic Miso sauce on it. Definitely, taste better than their sashimi form.
- Salmon๐ I think they use different part of salmon, the color is different and the texture too. Its better than their sashimi.
- Hamachi๐คฉ
- Unagi standard
- White fish with truffle, good, truffle not that overwhelming.๐
However, their fame ๐ ๐ฎ๐ธ๐ถ seems to tell a different story.๐ฉ I don't know what I am eating. Felt like its been left there for a few hours kind of stale taste.
- Ebi Tempura Roll
- Hokkaido Roll
๐๐ด๐ฒ๐บ๐ผ๐ป๐ผ(๐๐ฒ๐ฒ๐ฝ ๐๐ฟ๐ถ๐ฒ๐ฑ)
- Ebi Tempura๐ Texture, freshness and crispness is spot on.
- Pumpkin Croquette too oily, make you jelak fast, taste meh.๐คข
- Tako Yaki๐คจ
๐๐๐ฎ๐บ๐ฒ๐บ๐ผ๐ป๐ผ
- Gyoza(Chicken) surprisingly good but oily.
๐ฌ๐ฎ๐ธ๐ถ๐บ๐ผ๐ป๐ผ
- Ginkarei Shioyaki, tender meat, crisp skin and super oily.
- Fish Head but where is the head.๐ค I want to eat my fish cheeks not some super oily fish meat.๐คฎ
๐๐ต๐ฎ๐ฟ๐ฐ๐ผ๐ฎ๐น ๐๐ฟ๐ถ๐น๐น๐ฒ๐ฑ๐(Dinner Only) Fantastically char grilled, succulent & flavourful meat.
- Tebasaki crisp skin, tender meat.๐
- Wagyu Beef Cube tender and juicy.๐

๐๐ฒ๐๐๐ฒ๐ฟ๐๐(๐ข๐ป๐ฒ ๐ง๐ถ๐บ๐ฒ ๐ฆ๐ฒ๐ฟ๐๐ถ๐ป๐ด)
