This was a Groupon deal we came across. Free flow wagyu beef on a charcoal grill sounded great. So we bought it, and went for it. The original cost of the buffet is $78++. With our Groupon, it was $50 or so, so much more manageable.
The charcoals were HOT! I reached the restaurant after a pretty brisk walk and was hoping to cool off in the air conditioned restaurant but fat chance. The heat radiating from the charcoal grill had be hiding at one corner of the table trying to be as far away from the heat as possible. They had some side dishes of marinated cold veggies and mushrooms, which I liked and finished. Lynn did not notice or touch them at all.

It's nice that everyone will have their own tongs for raw meats, so that you can reserve your chopsticks and spoons for the cooked food. Each setting came with a wedge of lemon, soya sauce as well as a sesame dip. I love sesame sauces!!

The buffet includes sashimi, so here we are spamming salmon and swordfish sashimi. I actually cannot remember them, so I can't comment whether they were good or bad.

We ordered mushrooms and salmon for grilling, and these came in little aluminium trays with sauces, and we just pop the trays onto the grill. It's fantastic because the food could cook in the delicious sauces and were well flavored. We liked the salmon, and ordered more of it. The mushrooms were yummy too. And the best part is, we kept the trays for cooking our subsequent orders of seafood such as squids, so that we don't drop our squid pieces down the grill. =D

They had a good variety of veggies too, so I ordered pumpkin, asparagus and capsicums to neutralise the meat we know we will be overdoing.

The works. We ordered a huge variety of meats. Pork belly, chicken slices, beef slices, sausages etc. As well as prawns and squids. The pork and the beef were DELICIOUS!! Very fatty (ok, maybe too fatty), we were having a lot of fire start ups. Thankfully the first round was very kindly cooked by the waitress, who showed us how we should hide the fatty meats at the side of the grill, so that less oil drip into the hot charcoals and less fire gets started up. Still, we had a lot of "fireworks" going on.

We actually really enjoyed the meats. The marinates were good, the meats juicy and yummy. Only downside is, they are so fat (hence the juicy), we got very gelat (cloying) very fast. So I guess that's how they limit the food you order. The seafood were nice too. But we got sooo sick of the meat fats, somewhere along the way Lynn started ordering watermelon to eat in the middle of the meal to balance off the fattiness with the refreshing, sweet and cold fruit.
We did like the place, just found the original cost way too hefty. No chance we will come back without a Groupon, but hey, I'll keep a lookout for deals from this restaurant.
