Came here after reading good reviews online. It’s no longer a free-flow buffet but a set meal - they told us after we tried to order more portions. (They stopped the buffet a year ago due to COVID and haven’t updated their banner outside Hillview CC.)

Service was slow when we went on a Sunday evening. We reserved for 6.30, arrived at 6.40, were seated at 6.50 and got our food at 7.10. There’s only 3 of them in the family running the restaurant, so their manpower problems were evident. The delay was due to their manpower crunch, so definitely reserve and come at an off-peak timing if possible. (From the time we reached till the time we finished there was always a queue waiting outside, which only finally dissipated at 8pm.)

My favourite dishes were the chicken bulgogi, kelp, kimchi and mashed potato. The chicken was tasty and comforting, kelp was fresh and crunchy, kimchi was very mild compared to other kimchis (not strongly sour or spicy, which I found refreshing) and potato was creamy and slightly sweet but had nice chewy chunks. The dessert waffle was also nice. Very small portion but it had a mochi/tapioca cake-like chewy texture. Likely not made from wheat flour. All the dishes were above average, except that I found the omelette quite ordinary. The food is less salty and oily than usual restaurant food and more like homemade food.

Would come again to try the rotating menu, though I think the value for money has fallen now that it’s no longer free flow. As you can see they serve only a small portion of each dish, so you won’t have much of your favourites. Though we were still very full without extras.
