Got the premium buffet
See attached for my order
1. Sashimi was decent. Raw oyster had a bitter aftertaste
2. Took lamb steak asked for medium rare but constantly well done
3. Foie gra was overcooked like way overcooked to the extend where the texture become like pork liver
4. Service for cook food takes at least 20-30min based on lamb and foue gra(1/4 of a piece is an overstatement).
5. Portion is small, near bite size for some so just order to prevent waiting too long
6. The appetitiser was decent but again small portion so just order to prevent waiting
Never ordered premium sea food cause it take too long for food to reached me so overall totally dont recommend the premium menu. However if you guys just wan salmon, maguro just get the basic one will do.

This is probably our fourth visit in the past decade - and there’s definitely a reason we keep coming back. Despite the many new dining options popping up over the years, this place has remained one of our go-to spots for a satisfying and memorable meal.
We opted for the Regular À La Carte Buffet instead of the Premium one at $59.90++, simply because the regular menu already offers such a wide variety of dishes. From appetizers to mains and even sides, the selection is impressive and more than enough to keep us happily full.
Every dish we ordered was a hit. From the moment the first plates arrived at our table, we were impressed by the presentation and attention to detail. The quality of the food was consistently top-notch - flavours were well-balanced, and ingredients fresh. Just take a look at the photos we snapped during our meal… they speak for themselves!
Service was also excellent. The staff were attentive, friendly, and efficient. We also appreciate that there doesn’t seem to be a strict time limit for the buffet, so we could take our time to enjoy each dish at a comfortable pace.
All in all, it was a thoroughly enjoyable dining experience once again. Great food, great service, and great value for the variety and quality offered. We’ll definitely be back!

Mitsuba Japanese Restaurant is a hidden gem for sushi and Japanese cuisine lovers. The sashimi is incredibly fresh, the portions are generous, and the buffet offers excellent value for money. Service is warm and attentive, and the ambience is cosy yet elegant—perfect for both casual dinners and special occasions. Highly recommend their premium buffet if you want to indulge in quality sushi and teppanyaki. Will definitely return!

Excellent service - everyone was so lovely. Shoutout to Som for being pleasant and kind.
Their food menu is great…diverse options! Sashimi is fresh, chicken wings are to die for! Food came out quickly at the start but started to slow down after (from 8pm onwards) but that’s normal given the orders that comes in for them.
No seating period which is amazing. We had 2 hours of awesome food and fantastic service. Thank you to the chefs as well! Will bring more friends over, highly recommended!

A good ala’carte buffet with fresh sashimi and sushi. Currently a promotion. 1 dined free with every 3 paying adults.
Extensive selection of sashimi, sushi, tempura, and other Japanese dishes.
Known for generous portions and fresh ingredients.
Advantage here there is no time limitation at all. 11:30am to 2pm for lunch. 6pm to 10pm for dinner.
Servings tends to slow down when the restaurant is crowded. So do be patient.
