Gonbei Fine Japanese Cuisine

Saw a banner outside Starhill Gallery that the restaurant supposed to ship in fresh seafood from Japan Tsukiji market daily. Decided to check out this place for their Saturday lunch buffet which goes for RM75++.

When we were there, the place was pretty quiet though. Seems like only 2 - 3 tables where occupied. The lunch buffet is actually ala carte style, so you order from the menu. The variety is pretty good, and covers everything from sashimi to tempura, and dessert as well.

Food quality and taste wise is generally pretty good. Something I've not tried before is this white tuna sashimi. Outside it looks like butter fish, but have the taste of tuna. In fact, I find the tuna taste stronger than the typical red ones. We actually ordered the white tuna 3 times :). There is also a complimentary serving of abalone sashimi as well, which was pretty good as well. The only one that I find was not as good was this pin head mushroom or something, which I find it was a little salty. Else the rest like the lamb, and beef roll etc were pretty nice. For desserts, we ordered fruits, glutinous rice balls with red bean, ice cream and pan cakes.

Overall, the food here is pretty good. This is the first japanese buffet I've tried in KL and it was definitely pretty good. Was told the dinner buffet at RM88++ supposedly comes with extra oysters and supposedly free flow abalone if we did not hear wrong. :)
