Luxurious All you can eat
2019-05-07  156 瀏覽
To be honest, I haven't been to these all you can eat restaurants for a long time and it has changed so much.

Firstly it is more environmentally friendly as you can order from the app.
(However they do have the order sheets for those who do not have smartphones).
Secondly, there is so much variety at TONO.

Not only was there Japanese food, there was Chinese food such as fish maw and abalone, herbal chicken feet soup and Sichuan pickled vegetable fish.

The Japanese food was good as expected so I decided to try the Chinese food to see if it was just as good.
I have to admit, I loved the coconut chicken soup and the abalone with fishmaw.
On the meat side, these were my picks, juicy lamb racks, chicken wings, grilled chicken wings and eel.
As well as ordering items to the table, the dessert bar and cooking stations had so much to offer like uni rolls, stir fried beef that will keep you busy the whole night.

Creamy uni hand rolls that were fresh and sweet:



Rest assured the dessert range does not disappoint with a wide range of desserts, fruits to icecream but I have decided to finish with plums and mangosteens as they are healthy and not many buffets offer it.




Since this visit, I've been wanting to go back again.

I found out about this place because of this review of a Lobster claw lunch set for takeaways but since then they have not done the lobster again for lunch!
Hopefully it will be back on the menu one day so I can try it.
They did have sea cucumber for lunch but it didn’t look as good as the lobster.

It used to be difficult locating this restaurant but now LabConcept is here and it located at the other end of LabConcept near The Frank.

Basically they have an all you can eat offer for lunch and dinner, but for lunch they prefer you to arrive earlier as they stop taking orders at a certain time.

The all you can eat menu is available online and in English too so you can check it out and they also have their weekly lunch sets as well online.

There is a wide selection of soups, starters, mains and desserts.

Items I tried as copied exactly from the menu:
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Stewed chicken feet in abalone sauce:

The sauce was nice and strong, however the texture of the chicken feet were not soft enough.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Braised chicken in wine sauce & shallot roll served with home made mustard sauce:
This was my favourite because the chicken had been soaked heavily in the wine and mustard sauce.

★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Chilled cucumber with garlic sauce:
This was quite nice because the cucumbers were fresh and there was lots of garlic.

★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Steamed pork soup dumpling:
These tasted how it should but the skin was slightly thick.

★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Steamed glutinous rice dumpling in lotus leaf wrapping:

The rice was too soft
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Noodles with minced meat in spicy soup:

This was too spicy
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Almond tea with egg-white:

I do not like almond puddings but this was surprisingly delicious.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Chilled marinated black fungus with wasabi sauce:

this was my favourite, the black fungas was really delicious with wasabi sauce.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Sweet & sour pork with pineapple:

this tasted as good as the sweet and sour pork in UK.

[Review 1923] All you can eat Japanese buffet @ 大喜屋日本料理 Daikiya Japanese Restaurant

https://www.openrice.com/zh/hongkong/review/all-you-can-eat-japanese-buffet-daikiya-e2266533

This is an all you can eat Japanese buffet that has sushis, grilled items, deep fried items, etc.
I have not dined here before but it seems that it has been rennovated.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Grilled octopus jaws:
The octopus jaw itself was not bad but the sauce was extremely sweet and salty.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Stir fried octopus tentacles:
Really salty
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Mini Sweet potatoes:
The mini sweet potatoes were really cute, some were sweet and were not some sweet with a dense starchy texture.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Sweet potato tempura:
I was surprised they used the purple sweet potato for this but it was nice, but slightly too hard and it was quite sweet.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Stir fried spinach and mentaiko:
The spinach was nice and tender but overall it was really salty.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Deep fried scallop:
I think they meant scallop surimi because it definitely was not a scallop.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Baked oyster:
The oyster was quite nice because the sauce was not that heavy and it had bits of onions in it.

[Review 967] Balanced buffet with superb range @ Farm Kitchen Vegi

When I first saw the restaurant name, I assumed it was Vegetarian until I saw pictures from the review.

However, they serve very fine dishes under the all you can eat menu.

There was so much choice, ranging from carpaccio's, fried items, western dishes to cheese fondue.

There is also a salad bar.

[Review 876] Mind the bridge!! @ 大喬日本料理 Daikyo Japanese Cuisine

https://www.openrice.com/zh/hongkong/review/mind-the-bridge-e2120330

This restaurant seems to be called "big bridge" in Chinese, and upon entering the restaurant there is a mini bridge before you go in.

Anyway, went there for the all you can eat buffet at $198 per person, the range dosnt offer much but at least ALL of the items are AVAILABLE, even foie gras unlike that Urawa restaurant in Wan Chai.

SASHImI/SUSHI section:
Handrolls: minced fatty tuna, salmon, crab roe salad, squid and crab roe, eel.
Sashimi: tuna, salmon, snapper.
Sushi: yellow tail, squid, squid tentacles, sweet shrimp, salmon, sush.
Maki: Tuna, Salmon and California rolls.

SALAdS/VEG: green salad, crab roe salad, stir fried vegetables, edame beans.

FrIED items: prawn, oysters, fish fin, wasabi dumplings, vegetable tempura,

GRILLeD items: scallops, foie gras, squid, wasabi dumplings, beef, snapper fillet, salmon, sole fish, beef rolls, beef rolls with enoki, beef rolls with kimchi, beef roll dumpling, fish cake, octopus balls. smoked duck breast, japanese burger steak.

SKEwERS: chicken skin, pork neck, and chicken.

RICE/NOoDLES: fried rice, udon in soup.

DESsERT: ice cream (green tea, sesame, adzuki beans), cake of the day.

CuSTOMER SERvICE:
Overall, the customer service was good, the tea was constantly refilled, probably because they charge more but comparing it to other all you can eat Japanese places, they cost around $198 per person.
The tea provided was slightly strange, because it wasnt green tea, but tasted like Pu Erh, the earthy type.

FoOD:
The grilled beef was the best, but then they are famous for their thinly grilled beef with fillings inside them.
Grilled chicken skin was interesting, however I would have preferred them fried and crispy.
Dumplings had that extra touch to it, as they put wasabi in them.
The foie gras was slightly too oily, but ok.
The fish fish tempura was my favourite, it wasnt greasy at all, slightly too sweet, but it was crunchy and chewy at the same time.
The cake of the day tasted a bit weird, it tasted of some flower, possibly rose.

There was a complimentary salad too with conch meat, it was a scoop of mashed potatoes with lots of shredded vegetables mixed together.

[Review 794] Not consistent @ 熊亭新和風駅 Kumatei Japanese Restaurant

https://www.openrice.com/zh/hongkong/review/not-consistent-e2096544

Went here twice, first time it was good, but the second time the food wasn't that good.

There are a few things worth having: fish soup, roasted gingko nuts, tempura (depends on the oil that day), soba noodles.

The sushi is good, the rice portion is small in comparison with the fish.
