Food and staff service are okay but the place could use some interior improvements and additional exhaust for better air flow. Making reservations is very easy and they are responsive even on Facebook. The Japanese food section was a highlight for me, especially the generous servings of fresh salmon sashimi. Unfortunately, they really need to improve the place for a better eating environment.

I love the food options (there's a lot of it), and how the staff and managers assisted us by the time we stepped in, and up until the time we stepped out of the premises. We will definitely get back soon.

Birthday promo at 2 + 1 (Celebrant), Seniors discount Spread is good for the grill side, which includes shrimps. Roast beef, lechon belly, and bagnet for the meat section. Maki and sushi are decent. They have been doing this for more than 25 years. It's still a go-to place for friends and families. Occasionally, you can dine along with companies celebrating team member birthdays as well some company get together. Parking is ample, and there's is more across the street.

The place and smell is old, but the food is great. Been in this branch four times already, but I prefer other branches

I liked the food, too many options to choose from. They also have high chairs which is perfect for kids, and they accept reservations for parties and personal events. It's just that coffee is not on the unlimited buffet menu. So, you pay almost a thousand pesos and you will need to make additional payments for a cup of coffee. I'd give it a 4.5 out of 5 stars, because to me, coffee is life and I can have unlimited coffee with other Japanese unli buffet restaurants.
