Ikoi Japanese ala carte buffet
My friend recommended this place, the entrance is very traditional and when you go in, you'll see lots of photos of the lady boss with different actors/actresses on the wall.
The staffs there are very nice, they refill our tea and change new plates promptly without us asking.
The list of menu is quite good, there's sashimi, sushi, handroll, tempura, yakitori, tebasaki... we're already very full after we tried 1/4 of the menu as they also give us some complimentary dishes that's not inside the ala carte buffet menu.
We esp love their complimentary chips, tea pot soup and fried cheese stick.
My favourite from the menu is tebasaki and chawamushi and my friend love the yakitori and sashimi.
The sashimi is very nice but the freshness and the thickness of the sashimi is not very constant. The salmon's still the best, love the swordfish and tuna from the 1st order but the 3rd order is not as fresh.
Price per pax is $33++, overall taste for the food is quite good, it's value for money if you are a big eater.

i think other than sashimi, the rest of the dishes are so-so only.

I read about this place called Osahime Japanese Restaurant. I think is at Golden Shoe Plaza. The variety supposedly is not as great but read the quality is there.

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.
