Reviews
This review is for the breakfast buffet only at 3400 Yen. It's a high 4.5 out of 5 as there is a huge variety of food. I only wish there was a bit more seafood such as ikura. The items they do have were excellent. There was a congee station which was much appreciated, but I would have loved a protein to add such as chicken or beef. I ended up grabbed the chilled tofu from the other section so it worked out. There's an udon soup station for you to add the broth, green onions and Benito flakes into. Omelette station which was a smaller size portion and is much appreciated since it allows me to try other things. Build your own salad station. Other items are scrambled eggs, ham, mac n cheese, French toast, waffle, yogurt, fruit granola, squash soup, curry and rice, fried fish, fish stew, eggplant and etc. The service was excellent from the minute I was greeted up until I left. Empty plates were never left on the tables long either.
