Salt Lake City|OMG What Is This Heavenly Buffet?! 😱🍽️
Heard a new Japanese buffet opened up south of town — was gonna wait and see, but friends kept raving about it with glowing reviews. I had to check it out myself! First impression: Has buffet competition really reached this level?! This spread feels like a lavish feast even by our city’s standards. 🍣 First Course: Choose either <A5 Wagyu + Scallops> or <Assorted Sashimi>. The wagyu is lightly torched — rich, buttery, topped with a huge sweet scallop and dried parsley. After hearing the owner break down the costs, all I could think was: “They’re not holding back!” 🍱 Sushi Rolls: A whole menu page to choose from — <Sweetheart Roll> is a must! Owner says it’s their own creation — can’t get it anywhere else. Also loved the <Totoro Roll>! 🍽️ Buffet Counters: 🌊 Seafood Bar Sashimi, ikura, shrimp, crab legs, oysters, nigiri — overflowing with ocean bounty. A sashimi lover’s paradise! 🍲 Cold Dishes Pure Chinese flair — just a few highlights: Couple’s lung slices, mouthwatering chicken, soy-braised beef, braised chicken feet — all super authentic. Couldn’t move away from this section! Scallop salad had a sweet-spicy dressing I loved, and the seaweed salad was perfectly crisp. 🍖 Hot Dishes So many options you’d get full just sampling each one — yet somehow every dish was delicious. As a foodie, I feel blessed! Cod was smooth and melted in your mouth; grilled shrimp had crispy shells and springy meat; steamed scallops were juicy and rich; braised pork belly was glossy and well-marbled… Wait, there’s Sichuan peppercorn fish slices too? Amazing! 🥟 Dim Sum Zone The piggy buns are adorable — plus they have all the kid-friendly snacks. Next time I’m bringing my little one! 🍢 Oden They even have this?! Dear heavens, give me another stomach please. My only tip: Wear stretchy pants — you’ll thank me later.
