Kakkoii Japanese BBQ & Shabu - Shabu, Semarang — Restaurant in Semarang

Personally, I didn't like this place very much - not my format, especially for iftar. First, it's the tables - two couches on the both sides standing by the window, which means if you sit by the window you'll have to bother others again and again (and there you gotta move a lot). Second, there comes a time and everybody gets loose - mingling, picking up food, crowding, pushing, cutting in lines - and that goes in rounds. And what really is not my format - you gotta cook your food first. After a hard working day in Ramadhan you don't go to the resto to cook IMHO, but here it's the way. Yeah, it's great for some as you can cook the way you want. There was some already cooked soups and rice and chicken, I got nasi goreng and chicken but it was so salty like OMG. The only thing I really liked was the ice cream - it really resembled the ice cream and not the usual flavoured snow they here call ice cream. All in all, I won't come here again (only if invited), food is all right in general, but the idea of everybody competing for food and then cooking is just...

Cost me around 150K/pax and my experience was satisfactory! The system is you go through the reservation and the staff will guide you through your table, set up your stove and timer for 90 minutes, and then enjoy! The staff is very kind and helpful btw!

Wideee selection of buffet with all-u-can-eat concept. From beef to chickens, satay, seafood, and small bites such as sushi, and sandwich. Drinks are also widely available such as Milo, Thai Tea, Soda, and there is also an Ice cream machine and wide variant of Desert and Salad.

But be careful! Don't choose too many kind of food variant because if by chance you didn't finished it before the timer ends, they will charge you 30K per 100 grams of food that you didn't finish. So my advice, take some variants like two or three plates, cook it then consume it and if you want more just take some more... Just don't get drown in lust of taking all of the foods...

The worst experience ever. Barely any meat left to cook, only tiny portion available for the entire restaurant. Yes, there are some other side dish, but not many and the taste is bland. The stove for shabu-shabu is limited for 10 minutes use only, with small heat, it takes ages to cook the chicken or vegies. Youhave to call the staff to turn on the stove again. The grill itself is horible.. At first the flame is very small, then suddenly its bursting. So the meat is burnt on the outside and still raw inside. The dining hall itself is another nightmare. The smoke from the grill is everywhere, there is not enough exhaust fan to clean the air. So, 90 minutes allocated time for the seat, with inadequate food and grill, also suffocating air condition where smoke is everywhere. Please find somewhere...
