Buckaroo BBQ & Grill @ Andrews Avenue (near Bottle Tree Park at Sembawang)
Buckaroo is a restaurant near the road to Bottle Tree Park at Sembawang. Situated in the middle of privates houses and condos, it was like a food paradise in the middle of nowhere... and well-known too, judging by the number of pple on its waiting list when we reached there on saturday ard 7 plus...
We waited for ard 10 minutes for an empty table, acceptable time. Ordered the mushroom soup and half a dozen of the buffalo wings (level 1), which is one of the popular choices on the menu. You can choose different degree of spiciness, starting from level 1 up to level 10. Think the last time I came here with my colleagues, they ordered level 10 to challenge one other. My goodness, it was so spicy I wonder if it could burn a hole in my stomach...I only tasted a bit with no biting, and was already gobbling down a glass of water to save my tongue...
The soup was served in a round bread, and geez...it was delicious, and the bread goes very well with the soup. As for the wings, level 1 is just slightly spicy which is fine by me. The wings are yummy and the sauce is unique and suit my taste. bf also felt that the sauce was different, but he did not like the soury taste and the chilli oil. He enjoyed the soup more, which he managed to finish till the bread "bowl" was all dry...
Other good dishes are the onion rings and the mushroom, worth giving a try. Basically, Buckaroo is a place worth driving down for dinner...looking at the number of cars parked opposite the restaurant, guess many people felt the same way too...Oh btw, there is no gst no service charge, and beers are ard 8 bucks... and not forgetting "free" parkings...best!

I love their deep fried button mushroom! Is a must have!!
Actually, finding parking can be a bit tough there even though it is free.

My last 2 trips there this year was kinda disappointing as well. First time, somewhere near CNY, a lot of seafood was sold out, even the beer! Thought cos we were there late, so the next time we decided to get there earlier, and this time, the crab where sold out!
Service was also very slow and not enuff people to serve the customers.
Food wise, I think price is still ok, but I think the food is not longer as good as when it was less well known.... planning to try senibong next round...

This is located opposite the Yishun sports hall.... at the cross junction there... if you take mrt, during the durian seasons, u might notice people waiting there... is been 2 years since I been there, not sure if it is still around.

Have not been to Jogoya before, but I've been to the Gonbei opposite. Priced similarly to Jogoya if not wrong, and I thought the service and food was pretty good.

I went with 7 adults and 1 kid, we spent less than $120. I would safely hazard a guess of $18 - $25 per person, depending on how hungry you get. Real value for money for quality food.

Is diagonally opposite Jogoya. Supposedly the quality is better than Jogoya. Price wise, if we convert currency, then Malaysia is cheaper. If we do not convert currency, then Singapore is cheaper. Generally, a japanese buffet in Siingapore is around SGD30+ range.

I didnt know about this place, look like quality Japanese food with reasonable price, must pay a visit someday....BTW, would like to have your opinion, generally Japanese buffet is cheaper in Singapore, or in Malaysia?
