Decided to give this Buffet Restaurant a visit, recommended by my aunt.
Chiso Zanmai is the first Japanese Buffet Restaurant opened by a Japanese Company, serving authentic Japanese cuisines, serving a variety of food according to the season in Japan. It is located at level two of the shopping centre, sited right above Clarke Quay MRT Station, The Central. The main entrance can be found along the Singapore River beside the shopping mall, facing The MICA Building.
Their price range is quite affordable, and the quality of food provided is really value for money. For more details of their price, please visit:

For their lunch buffet, no sashimi is served, and the same menu with sashimi included, will be available for their dinner buffet. I went to the dinner buffet along with my family, and we were honestly really satisfied by their food and services.
Similar to all other buffets that you can find, they serves starters, mains, and desserts. According to Chiso Zanmai, they serve more than 100 different types of food for every buffet. What attracted me most is their Sashimi. Although they only serve Salmon, Tuna and Baby Octopus, the sashimi is really fresh, thick and melts in the mouth! Its so good that I could not stop myself from having more! Of course, with sashimi, there will be sushi! A whole range of different maki-s and sushi for you to choose to have them!
Apart from the fresh sashimi and sushi, they have chefs serving you with hot Ramen, allowing you to choose between Nagasaki Champon and Hakata Tonkotsu soup bases. As for the sides, like the fish cake slices and ginger pickles, you can choose to throw in as much as you want!
As for the dessert segment, I love the range of cakes, tarts, mochi and jellies that they provide with! From Macha flavour, to classical chocolate and fragrance coffee, to western Creme Brulee and Houji Tea Jelly. I just love them all! And they have a self-service ice cream machine, providing only vanilla flavored ice cream, and toppings for you to choose from at the side, from sundae sauce to chocolate rice and marshmallows!
Their service, from the time when you stepped into the restaurant to pay for your buffet, to clearing your plates from your table. They are really very friendly and efficient! A few families queuing in front of me during payment, it took only a few minutes to clear their bills! Every time i leave my table for more food, my empty and dirtied plates will definitely be cleared whenever I'm back from my rounds! Really efficient services!
If you are lucky enough to sit by the window, you will be able to enjoy your dinner while appreciating the beautiful lights and night life of Clarke Quay~ Really a relaxing place to enjoy buffet dinner.
Well, words cant say too much! Hope these few pictures that I have chosen helps in allowing you to decide if you should give it a try!
