This izakaya offers a buffet option that feels worthwhile and value-for-money in terms of quality, atmosphere, and service.
If you enjoy Japanese food, I think this restaurant is well-priced considering the quality of the food, the service is fast, and the staff clearly explain both the regular menu and the buffet options.
I definitely think I'll be coming back. My favorite dessert was the Biscoff cheesecake. I secretly found out that the owner's mother makes it herself! Let me tell you, this menu item is also a must-try.

We’re having a dinner all you can eat at the best japanese restaurant in town! I’ve been having a lot of japanese food in any other countries, especially japan, but all of their food also exceptional! They give us 90mins for unlimited ordering to try their menu and thank you for Bea that taking care of us with your warm service!!!
The food comes quickly around 3 minutes after they took our order. Keep it up for the team for delivering exceptional food and service!

We visited this restaurant for dinner expecting an all-you-can-eat experience. We were hoping for a beef hot pot, but the menu only offered a very small chicken pot instead. The yakitori were decent, and the eel rice bowl stood out as a highlight. However, the nigiri were noticeably not fresh. Additionally, the bowl we were given was dirty, and the server forgot some of the items we ordered.
On a positive note, the atmosphere was pleasant, and the food presentation was appealing. Despite these positives, the overall experience was disappointing, and we would not return.

Total Score: 6.90
Bathroom: 4.5/5
Classic contemporary black and white bathroom. Very nice though.
Customer Service: 4/5
Sometimes a bit hard to find but they were SERVING
Ambiance: 4.25/5
Very modern neo-Japanese style. Don’t super love it but isn’t bad either cuz the dark ambiance vibes is there
Food: 3.5/5
Food was okayyyy. The fish was great, but the rice just did not hold together at all it just fell apart as soon as I tried to hold it. Also there were dishes here that I’ve never seen before at at typical Japanese restaurants before and felt not fitting to be here.
Wow: 0/1
Normal Japanese restaurant
Total Score = BR + CS + 2*AM + 5*FOOD + WOW

We enjoyed the all you can eat lunch special. Standouts include the garlic cucumber appetizer, various fancy sushi rolls , nigiri and of course the yakirori. Id like to come back for dinner to try some other items as well. Overall, great decor, service, and very fresh sushi. We got to see the chef cutting tuna belly as well left
