Hut Dining Buffet — Restaurant in Kuala Lumpur

In the dimly lit realm of culinary delights, nestled along the bustling streets of Lalaport's food haven, lies a sanctuary for the discerning palate: Hut Sake Bar. If I would most eloquently put it, "Hut Sake Bar is not merely a dining experience; it's a cinematic masterpiece of gastronomy."

Picture this: the seafood , so fresh it's as though Poseidon himself just reeled it in. It's no wonder they're in cahoots with Japanese seafood suppliers, ensuring only the crème de la crème graces your plate. Each bite is a symphony of flavors, meticulously paired like the perfect scene in a classic movie. Take, for instance, their ikura cones—each delicate morsel bursting with the essence of the ocean.

But let's talk about the real stars of the show: the staff. They're not just waiters; they're culinary conductors orchestrating a flawless dining experience. Attentive, knowledgeable, and always ready with a recommendation, they elevate your meal to cinematic heights. The manager especially is a pleasure and delight, going around tables entertaining and aiding patrons to discover the best dishes.

And oh, the preparation! Each slice, each cut, executed with the precision of a surgeon's scalpel. It's culinary craftsmanship at its finest, leaving you with a dining experience that's not just satisfying—it's transcendent.

Now, I won't sugarcoat it: dining at Hut Sake Bar might cost you a pretty penny. But as any gastrophile knows, true artistry is worth every cent. The value derived from the experience transcends mere currency—it's an investment in unforgettable memories.

And let's talk about the pièce de résistance: their dinner buffet, accompanied by the nectar of the gods—sake. It's a match made in culinary heaven, especially when paired with their heavenly salmon belly. One bite, and you'll swear you've been transported straight to the streets of Tokyo.

But wait, there's more! As the credits roll on your dining experience, indulge in a scoop of Häagen-Dazs ice cream—a sweet finale to an epic meal.

As for the ambience? Picture-perfect. With an atmosphere that's both cozy and chic, Hut Sake Bar deserves a standing ovation for its impeccable design.

In conclusion, if Hut Sake Bar were a movie, it would undoubtedly be a blockbuster hit. So do yourself a favor and book your ticket to culinary bliss—you won't regret it. And remember, dear readers, this hidden gem deserves all the accolades and recognition it can get. After all, good food, like great cinema, deserves to...

Disappointing Service and Quality, Feel Cheated!

I recently visited this restaurant with a group of 9 people and booked a private room. However, the seating arrangement was not conducive for eating as the seats were sofas and the tables were coffee tables.

By the way, I was really looking forward to trying the salmon at this restaurant, but it was not fresh at all. The temperature of the salmon was room temperature instead of being cold, which was a big disappointment.

We had a reservation for 8 p.m., but we had to wait until 8:20+ before anyone served us. Additionally, the speed at which they brought out the dishes was extremely slow. Most of the time, we were just waiting for the food to arrive.

We ordered several dishes, but only a few of them actually made it to our table. When we finally decided to ask about the rest of our order, they casually informed us that the kitchen had already closed. We were shocked and confused by this response. How could they let us wait for so long and not fulfill our entire order?

To add insult to injury, they claimed that their chopsticks were limited edition and in high demand. We asked multiple times for chopsticks, but they kept saying they had run out. As a result, we had to continuously wait for chopsticks to become available.

The attitude of the staff was also disappointing. It took several attempts to get their attention, and even then, their responses were slow and unhelpful. It felt like they were deliberately ignoring us.

Plus, the prices on the menu were ridiculously hiked, except for the platter and a few dishes, giving the impression that what you paid for is worth it. However, it was rather frustrating to pay a high price for a dish only to receive a portion that didn't match the value. It felt like we didn't get our money's worth.

Overall, the dining experience left much to be desired. The seating arrangement was uncomfortable, and the menu prices were misleading. The food wasn't that fresh, attitude of waiter still has to be improved.

If there is one good thing to comment, it'd be nice appearance of food and delicious ice-cream. Others just have to be improved tremendously with...

8 pax - private room (it is not conducive for eating as the seats are sofa, and tables are coffee tables, but perhaps it was miscommunication during booking that we were not properly informed of the seating arrangement).

Service is decent.

Food (buffet): a. Toro sashimi, salmon belly, hamachi sashimi and soft shell crab are unavailable. Felt a bit cheated. We received special serving of toro sashimi since we have 8 pax (so it is not a case of unavailability, but it should have been unlimited if it is on the buffet menu). Even so, the toro is still frozen, thinly sliced and doesn't really taste good.

b. Ordered shishamo since 1.00 p.m., received them at 2.30 p.m. after last order (after we reminded for at least 5 times). Annoyed since there is a 2-hour limit and if you're gonna serve it at the end, might as well just say its unavailable...

c. Ordered beer and coke since 1.00 p.m., received first glass and can at 2.00 p.m. Cocktails are quite horrendous.

d. Lobster is not nice, raw prawns are decent but had better ones elsewhere. Uni is good. Caviar almost tasteless. Salmon is super soft to the point that it's quite mushy. Butter fish is good.

e. The prices in the menu are ridiculously hiked (except for the platter and few dishes) to make you feel that what you paid for is worth it. I mean... RM88 for 1 piece of puny oyster (though it tasted good), RM89 for a small piece of uni, and the donburi is priced at RM20 - RM30 for 1 spoon. It is rather ridiculous to put a price that does not even match the portion just so as if we ate our worth... Would have preferred the restaurant to omit the price altogether if they want to appear much more honest...

f. Ice-cream - matcha is melted and refrozen. Otherwise, its haadgen-daz so can't really go wrong.

g. Oh and the smaller prawn sashimi has green eggs on it.... I'm not sure if those roe is supposed to be a delicacy but I'll pass.

I wouldn't recommend nor return for second visit. If I'm gonna stuff myself with sashimi, the quality has...
