Buffet Town Review: Free-Flow Sashimi And Teppanyaki Under $25 Per Person At City Hall

Premium buffet at Buffet Town Buffet Town drew my eye with their large range of food. Teppanyaki, sashimi, and pasta are all dishes that I greatly enjoy, and Buffet Town promised all of them.

Buffet Town Review: Free-Flow Sashimi And Teppanyaki Under $25 Per Person At City Hall

The buffet joint has all sorts of delightful cuisine, with a focus on Japanese food. The usual quotation for a weekday lunch is $26.80++ , but thanks to the offer, it’s now $49 nett for two diners . The weekday dinner price of $38.80++ is lowered to $79 nett for two as well.

Food at Buffet Town Upon entering, the first thing you’ll see is the imposing seafood wall to the left, loaded with crayfish, poached prawns, black mussels, lala, and gong gongs. The walls are packed to the brim with ice to ensure that the seafood is kept cool throughout the lunch buffet. They were huge and juicy, and there was more than enough for the entire crowd— no need to fight for a portion.

The meat was succulent and sweet, and I packed my plate with tons of them. The crayfish was a lot meatier and thicker than the prawns, but it was also a bit of a challenge to get the meat out of the shell.

The taste was a bit sharp at times, though the texture of the meat was good. There were condiments around for the other buffet items, so I got some to pair with the meat. The cheese for the french fries went well with the crayfish, and helped to mask the more pungent aspects of the seafood.

The Salmon Sashimi was one of the more popular items, and the chefs were constantly slicing up more to refill the platters. I was a bit disappointed to find that there wasn’t any pasta on the day we went, but the pizza was good enough to overcome that disappointment.

At the back of the restaurant was a section with Japanese food and assorted dishes. The teppanyaki wasn’t that flavourful either, and while I finished one plate of it, I figured that it wouldn’t be worth the stomach space to go back for seconds. It was the typical assortment you’d see at a catering buffet, and it definitely wasn’t the main attraction at Buffet Town.

Many of the stations are self-service, but you can get served at the teppanyaki station and chicken rice counter. Even though we came at 11am, and the buffet didn’t start till 11:30am, the line behind us gradually grew to a huge crowd.

Some of my favourites were the salmon head, poached prawns, and the prawn bisque soup. Also check out Project Penyek for huge platters of seafood, including tiger prawns.
