Irodori Japanese Restaurant - Eat All You Can Ala Carte Japanese Buffet




Had a mini gathering at Irodori Japanese Restaurant over the weekend.

Took a moment to catch the staff's attention to direct us to the reserved table even though the restaurant was only 1/2 packed at that time. When came to placing order, everyone seemed busy and it took a while for us to catch someone's attention to take our orders (despite our hands waving). Serving was also a tad slow. And it didn't make it any better when some food came in a very pathetic presentation. E.g. A mini bowl with probably 0.5 cm cube size of teppanyaki pork with a gamey taste. We ordered the mixed tempura, it never came. The 2nd order of irodori maki almost didn't arrive until we asked to check on it. Another minus point is that the menu did not include any dessert. 

If not for the sashimi moriawase (mixed sashimi) which was fresh and sliced in decent size, the irodori maki which was palatable, and the non-refill (unfortunately) plate of grilled prawns, probably I would have left feeling  grouchy. I guess some dishes are decent and some ain't. Knowing what to order would help maximize your experience..... 


Clockwise: Soramame (broad beans), Edamame (green beans), wasabi, green tea cold tofu


Only 1 plate per table (1 pc per pax)
