And food is served on time too, so don’t forget to book ahead because the queue is quite long.

Testimonial

“Personally I enjoyed their food for their price. Everything was nice except the fact that they were understaffed, so the beef & scallop, and even a simple soft shell crab sushi we ordered only arrived 40 mins into the buffet, when the buffet duration is 2 hours. Also, they forgot a few of our orders so we had to remind them many times. I think this should be improved”

9. Kushi Japanese Dining

Kushi Japanese Dining has been operating since 2008 but it’s backstory started much earlier in 2008 with the two siblings as the founder. Their over two decades of culinary experience made it possible for the restaurant to serve authentic Japanese cuisine which its customers love.
