This place is a food haven!!!! The crabs and wagyu are fresh and yummy! Everything's unlimited!!! It's a must-try whenever you are in Tokyo. Snow crabs, king crabs and hairy crabs are so good! I enjoyed my experience here! The place is clean and nice. Staffs are accommodating. Excited to come back to Tokyo and dine again soon

What a treat. It’s gonna cost your 10,000+ yen per person, but the offerings are worth considering it’s all you can eat and drink. The food was fantastic, from the fresh seafood to the duck to the yakiniku. The Chinese dishes were also very tasty. I was a bit surprised about the beef though, and went back for that several times. The space is nice and comfortable. The staff were great and helped describe how to cook and eat some of the food. There is a time limit, but it’s enough that you don’t feel rushed. Overall it was a great experience.

The food is definitely amazing, especially the seafood selections. Interesting thing is that there's not much of "Service".... You'll be thinking that Japanese is big on service, but nope, not this restaurant. There was no service other than showing us our table in the beginning. Lol...

It was a feast! I LOVED all the food and services. Simply the best experience in ALL buffet style 'all you can eat and cook': drink (including Sake, Soju and Beers), seafood, meat (Beef/Pork, etc.) and cuisine types (mainly asian), etc. 2-hour limit is plenty for a 'hungry' soul/couple (less time talking an dmore time enjoying the food and drinks). Responsible dining: please note the last picture is reasonably suggesting diners should only select what they eat and how much to eat as there will be a charge for too much food that cannot be consumed by you and your table. The pics say it all. I would definitely venture back here next time when I get to go to Tokyo again.

Absolute blast! Come with family and friends the buffet is breath taking and it's grill yourself. The given instructions are clear and the service is both polite and fast. The food is presented beautifully while still being delicious. Be prepared for a meal of a lifetime, we were not disappointed! Can't forget to follow their easy free steps to enjoy a complimentary polaroid to cement an amazing memory into your heart and home.

Buffets are not very common in Tokyo. Most places are theme-based all you can eat, so it is quite rare to find this kind of buffet with a wide variety of dishes. That said, the main highlight here is definitely the snow crab legs. Surprisingly, the prawns were also very tasty, and the grilled scallops were quite good too. They also offer wagyu beef, but some cuts were quite fatty and oily, so I could not eat much. The selection of fruits and desserts was limited and nothing special. For non alcoholic drinks, it was just the usual soft drink machine. The alcoholic drink options were actually much better. We went on a Friday and the restaurant was only half full, mostly with Japanese customers. Maybe tourists are staying away due to recent earthquake rumours. Although the price was not too high, we do not eat a lot, so it is not something we would try again.

The buffet was wonderful, the food actually looks like the photos. There is a large option of seafood, all fresh and yummy. There’s also plenty of cooked food and sushi options, and plenty of fruits and dessert. The all you can drink includes soft drinks and alcohol, good selection of beer. Highly recommend, great fresh food, great service, great value.
