The quality of their beef teppanyaki was surprisingly good, it was juicy, succulent and thicker than others. Do not miss the roast beef, you can ask them to grill. Although I find it weird that they offer some Chinese dishes and roastings together with some Japanese classics. The tempura is so-so but who needs tempura, when you can savor the fresh shrimp teppanyaki, this is cooked with well that the sauce is so good on fried rice.

The place is wide and it has some function rooms to entertain big groups. Staff are friendly, and requests are swiftly acted on.  Restaurant promotions include 5+1 for birthday celebrants (5 paying, one is free) The food here is even more interesting than other hotel's buffets.

When you want a good quality Japanese buffet, scream "Banzai!"
