Zensho — Restaurant in Quezon City

Place is conveniently located along the strip of Tomas Morato along with the other restos. Though this shop is the only restaurant that offers japanese teppanyaki style cuisine in the said street. Besides the cuisine, this is an all day unlimited buffet dining experience so you definitely try all thier menu. They also offer yakiniku style (grilled) items and yes it is included on the buffet as well. On the teppanyaki side, would definitely recommend their US Steak and Lamb as it is delectable and tender. Must try is thier vegetables items and seafood too. Sashimi is available too as thier tuna and salmon is fresh. The building itself is not that new and you'll notice its tenure as you would see photos if local celebrities hanging on thier walls from the early nineties. I wish it can be renovated as it is not that quite pleasant inside specially that it's not lit well at dinner time. A makeover is in need on this joint. Though staff is well adept in giving good service and thier teppanyaki chefs is really experience. Your dining experience will be satisfactory as thier buffet rate is fair and lower for a teppanyaki compared to others.

Ample parking is a big plus, but it fills up quickly during peak hours. This restaurant offers a buffet but is not self-service, which was perfect for me since I can get overwhelmed with choices. If you're a seafood lover, you won't be disappointed! The salmon and tuna were incredibly fresh - the salmon practically melted in your mouth, and the tuna was perfect. Their yakitori is a must-try - the chicken was perfectly marinated and grilled to perfection. They have a wide variety of dishes on the buffet, but for someone with a smaller appetite like me, the a la carte option might be more suitable.

Their tempura was also fantastic - light and crispy! The place is spacious but can get a bit noisy at times. Despite that, the service was excellent. The server, Erwin (?) was incredibly kind and attentive. The scallops were good, but not the star of the show. Overall, this restaurant is a great choice for fresh seafood and friendly service. Just be prepared for a potential wait for parking during busy times.

Try not to order beyond what you can eat because they charge double...

We arrived late around 2:30 PM for the unlimited option so we were informed by the staff that only the ala carte option was available. We still agreed to dine in based on that. We ordered our food and started eating. However, when we tried to order additional food out of their menu, they said they were already closed and are not taking any more orders. We were suprised becaused we were barely 15 minutes into our meal. So we had no choice but to finish our food. However we weren't even halfway through our meal when our bill was already offered to us by their waiter even though we haven't asked for it yet. And they started turning off their lights and air conditioners while we were still eating. The staff looked like they weren't happy serving us and that they really wanted us out of there ASAP. It would have been okay if they told us from the get-go that they were closing early but no such notice were given. Such a...
