Since i have nothing to do now...
I might as well..
Spend some time blogging about,
This newly open Japanese Buffet Restaurant.
Here im writing a review with my own views.
Therefore the rating is also based on my standard.
(So no offence to those who disagree with my comment.)
Shop Name: Saki Group of Restaurants - Sakura.Location: 4/10
The restaurant is located beside Yio Chu Kang Stadium.
Which is quite an isolated area in Yio Chu Kang/ Ang Mo Kio district though.
Where many people would not notice its existence unless they work there or drive pass
Ang Mo Kio Ave 9, near the back gate of NanYang Polytechnic.
Can spotted easily as it is by the main road.
But people tend to get confused as there is also another Japanese Sushi Restaurant.
Which is directly the other side of the stadium.
So look out properly when you searching for the place.
Cause this happened to my friends...... =.-
Transportation is quite convenience, bus stop is directly outside of the restaurant
and MRT is about 3 - 5mins walk.
Transport : MRT - Yio Chu Kang
Bus Service - 40 from Upper East Coast terminal
- 70 from Shenton Way terminal
- 70M from Yio Chu Kang terminal
- 265 from Ang Mo Kio Depot.
Environment: 5/10Cause me and my friends went on a Sunday. The place is quite packed with families and friends during the Lunch Periods. We were sitted at a corner so movement between our seats is quite squeezy... But still it gave us alil cozy feeling together as a whole group. So i take it as a plus minus point. Hahahz. As for the interior design, the place is designed to have a japanese environment and a circular place with stores in the centre with small walking paths. Thus u might be walking round and round. Walking space could hold 2 person walking side by side. So~ if u met one person who like walking in the center and paused every few steps, OR a person is big enough to take up the entire walking path. GoodLuck~
Food: 6/10Food~ YumYum~
Not bad, at least it is way alot better than the one at Down Town East Sakura Restaurant.
Worth giving a try eating every different dish they had there.
They even have roasted duck and hainan chicken cut and ready served.
Not forgeting the Singapore Dish - Laska.
Something that i have not seen in other outlets. A plus point...
Desserts were mainly cakes, jellies and sliced fruits...
Had different various flavors for the jellies and cakes are mainly cheese or choco.
PS/ their herbal jelly is TASTELESS~~ X((i had one and its a dissappointment.. Haiz...Service: 6/10Pretty quick and good, as we went down in a big group without any reservation.
In a short time, we served and our table are arranged nicely. Good~
Food serving arent that slow, waiting time is around 5 to 10mins.
Brought directly to our table...
The cleaning service comes by every 15 - 20mins, thus doesnt really interupt our meals.
Lastly, they even reminded us that to take our last serving, 5mins before they are closing for their lunch periods. * Thumbs up *
Price: 5/10There is nothing much i could comment about it, as the rating are fixed to every outlet around Singapore.
Buffet Prices | Weekdays | Orchard Outlet Only | |
Lunch (12noon - 2.30pm) | $20.00++ | $22.00++ | |
Dinner (6pm - 9.30pm) | $24.00++ | $26.00++ | |
Kids | $10.90++ | $11.90++ | |
Prices subject to prevailing GST charges. Additional $2.00 for adults on Friday nights, weekends, eve of Public Holidays and Public Holidays. |
So, i could say that i spent $23.60 for weekends lunch period.
Thats where the ++ is all the GST charges. 7%~~ Haiz...
So do invite friends who are big eaters if you think you cant eat up your worth of the $20++.
Overall: 5.2/10So to sum it up, Yio Chu Kang Sakura Restaurant is quite a suitable place if you dont mind spending a higher price to eat Japanese food. Advisable to go down and eat in a 2 or more group, if not you will feel lonely eat there. No fun at all.
*Note* to all NYP students, during your school terms, and you are having long breaks. You could plan to eat there with your classmates, as it is convinencely located near the Gate at Block G. Give it a try~~~
