I always heard about this place for serving fresh and delicious sashimi but never had the chance to visit due to its ulu ulu location. Now that I have, I gotta agree with the reviews.
TL;DR - Focus on Sashimi and Chawanmushi. Drinks and desserts are additional charges.
We made a reservation through @eatigo_sg for a discounted buffet rate. T&C apply. Although the discount rate is fixed at certain times, it's a good way to save some money. We went there early since we needed to walk about 800m to the restaurant from Tan Kah Kee Station. We arrived at a small, long, and cozy restaurant with a dim ambiance.
Using a QR code to scan for the ordering menu, we each ordered what we wanted to try and eat, then waited for the food to arrive. Food arrived promptly.
If you are a sashimi lover, this place excels. The sashimi tasted quite fresh, with each slice being chilled, smooth, and delicate in the mouth. The cuts were just the right thickness to fit into the mouth.
Ikura Chawanmushi is another must-have dish. The eggs were sieved properly, leaving a smooth surface without many air bubbles. Eat with care as this savoury egg dish is served piping hot. It's so nice that I had seven of them and treated them like dessert too.
As for the sushi, the toppings were alright, but the rice was subpar. The vinegared rice felt lumpy and tasted cheap, lacking deep flavour.
The grilled, pan-fried, teppan, and deep-fried items were kind of oily, in my opinion, and the taste was quite average. The Wafu Steak was probably an exception with its juicy, tender, and chewy meat.
Note that the buffet doesn't include drinks and desserts. If you are thirsty, they offer free-flow drinking water and free-flow hot/cold green tea for $1 and $1.50, respectively. Their service was great too.
A very important point to note: CASH/PAYNOW/PAYLAH ONLY

Not bad. I actually prefer vegetable tempura due to the variety. But overall this buffet felt cheap.
Aka prawn omelette. Lol. This felt so Chinese, while this buffet felt cheap.
This buffet felt cheap. And I guess deep-frying salmon says it all.
For my first meal of freedom, I returned to my favourite sushi buffet place -- shin yuu!
It felt so amazing to take my mask off outdoors and to eat piping hot served food.
They have such fresh sashimi and delicious cooked beef for those who prefer meat. They have a modest range of well-made, small servings so you can sample many dishes quickly and decide what you like best. I've reviewed them before and gave them a 9/10 and I stand by it.
This Japanese buffet restaurant provides quality ingredients and freshly cooked dishes with every order.
Must orders: wafu steak and shin yuu maki!
