Tenkaichi Japanese BBQ Restaurant (Marina Square)

The perks of a buffet is that you never leave the restaurant hungry. Perks of bbq, u get to the perfect doneness you want. On the pricey side but worth for the quality of food you are getting!

Good food, and affordable with 1 for 1.
Can use chope to reserve too.

BILL: Premium dinner buffet for 2 comes up to be $148.02 after GST and service charge
* Inclusive of free flow drinks and Ben & Jerry's ice cream

REMARKS:
* Indoor and outdoor seating available
* Various types of dipping sauce
* Good variety of hot and cold drinks
* Cooked food such as fried rice, sushi, soba, gyoza, chicken skewers, mixed veggies
* 8 flavours of Ben & Jerry's ice cream
* Unsure of what is the wagyu beef grade but still a good experience trying wagyu beef dishes we never had before such as ox tongue, wagyu beef tataki and even wagyu beef tartare
* Service is good; our empty ingredient plates were promptly cleared by the polite Filipino staff
* We stuck to the 90-minute limit and stopped ordering and barbecuing when the time was up. We continued to sit for a while more, drinking and eating ice cream and there was no pressure from the staff for us to leave. Appreciated that.
* It did get a bit gelat towards the end though
* Pork cheek fillet was superrrr fatty and tough to chew
* Enjoyed the wagyu beef short plate and scallops the most

Paid ~$148 (after gst n svc charge) for 2 pax for the 90 mins premium buffet. There was a decent variety of wagyu beef cuts and the wagyu was melt in your mouth yummy. Staff was pleasant and brought our orders relatively quick and were helpful in changing our grill too. Overall pleasant experience but the fact that burpple beyond basically only gives you ben & jerry's ice cream (for $3 less than their in house $59.90++/pax promo), makes the beyond deal pretty bad as compared to other restaurants. Not a true 1 for 1.

However the set lunch still came with buffet choice of appetizers, salad, soups, chawanmushi, small bites, dessert & drinks! So so so good deal!

I ordered Wagyu Saikoro Steak Set ($26.90) and the beef cubes though fatty but yummy. I really really love the grated radish with citrus sauce! Very very satisfyingly sour & tasty

Likely to return for the bbq buffet at a more leisure dining time. Only side effect - we smelt ‘bbq’ after dining
