Mitsuba Japanese Restaurant

Really nice place to go for a Japanese meal without burning your pocket. A lovely night with your date or loved ones, with great ambiance and delicious sashimi, sushi, tempura, and Sake – a perfect mix. Cheers!

This place serves an à la carte buffet menu, with two selections: the Normal or Premium options, priced at $59.90++ and $99.90++ respectively. Currently, there is a 'buy 5 get 1 free' promotion ongoing. We opted for the Normal buffet, and I must say, the selection is very good. For the price range, most of the items were nice and decently good. However, the serving speed was decently good, despite it being a Sunday evening. The staff are friendly, and they go around serving hot and cold green tea at regular intervals. The frequency with which they clear used plates is also good. Overall, it's a good place for an à la carte buffet at a decent price.

My first time here. Love the sashimi, which was so thick and fresh! The atmosphere and ambience are also great for hanging out with friends. Service has been good too. Food does not take long to be served. Will come back again!

I always get the regular buffet offer for 59.99++. Although nothing stood out, the variety of sushi, sashimi, and other dishes such as tempura, various Japanese noodles, and grilled items are still delicious for the price. Each buffet comes with free-flow hot/cold green tea. A good option for those who love Japanese food buffets.

The sushi and other dishes at this Japanese restaurant are freshly prepared and delicious; however, the prices are a bit elevated.

This place serves an à la carte buffet for $60++ and also offers regular à la carte dining. Since most of us don't eat that much, we opted for just à la carte. The food is decent, with good service. You just press a button, and a staff member will come. The refillable green tea is not on the menu; you have to inform the staff that you want it. The place is spacious, and it's suitable for a big group. The bill includes 9% GST and 10% service charge. For example, a bowl of Udon Tempura is $17.00, and including GST and service charge, it comes to $20.23 total.

On 2/5, we celebrated our 7th-year anniversary at Mitsuba Japanese Restaurant with an à la carte buffet lunch. Overall, it was good, except the spaghetti mentaiko didn't suit our taste. We loved the thick cuts of fresh sashimi and sushi. Coincidentally, I wasn't feeling well today, with a sore throat and fever. Food service was a bit slow, though it wasn't too crowded.

𝐌𝐢𝐭𝐬𝐮𝐛𝐚 𝐉𝐚𝐩𝐚𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐞 𝐁𝐮𝐟𝐟𝐞𝐭 at The Central (Clarke Quay) is a hidden gem for Japanese buffet lovers. It has a cozy, no-frills setting with a panoramic riverside view. The star here is not the decor, but the ridiculously generous all-you-can-eat à la carte buffet. You will get fresh sashimi (thick-cut, not stingy), premium sushi, grilled items, tempura, teppanyaki, and even unagi — all served freshly made, not sitting out cold. Highlights of the premium buffet include items like foie gras, wagyu steak, crayfish, Iberico pork rib, lobster bisque, and more. ⭐️⭐️𝐏𝐑𝐄𝐌𝐈𝐔𝐌 𝐁𝐔𝐅𝐅𝐄𝐓⭐️⭐️ Adult - $99.90++ Child below 1.4m tall - $49.90++ Child in baby chair - Free ❤️❤️𝐑𝐄𝐆𝐔𝐋𝐀𝐑 𝐁𝐔𝐅𝐅𝐄𝐓❤️❤️ Adult - $59.90++ Child below 1.4m tall - $29.90++ Child in baby chair - Free ⚠️❗️𝐂𝐔𝐑𝐑𝐄𝐍𝐓 𝐁𝐔𝐅𝐅𝐄𝐓 𝐏𝐑𝐎𝐌𝐎𝐓𝐈𝐎𝐍𝐒❗️⚠️ 1️⃣One dines FREE with 3 paying adults (applicable for lunch every day) 2️⃣15% OFF on ladies night (every Monday night, excluding PH and PH eve) 3️⃣15% OFF on NSMEN night (every Tuesday night, excluding PH and PH eve) 4️⃣Buffet Plus - top up $25++ for free flow sake and beer @mitsuba.j.restaurant is definitely worth going because it offers a premium yet fuss-free Japanese feast that combines quality, variety, and value — all in one experience.

Here's the edited review: A good à la carte buffet with fresh sashimi and sushi. There is currently a promotion: one person dines free with every three paying adults. There is an extensive selection of sashimi, sushi, tempura, and other Japanese dishes. It is known for generous portions and fresh ingredients. A key advantage is that there is no time limitation. Lunch hours are 11:30 AM to 2 PM, and dinner hours are 6 PM to 10 PM. Service tends to slow down when the restaurant is crowded, so be patient.

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 come in. No time limit on seating, 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!

Mitsuba Japanese Restaurant is a hidden gem for sushi and Japanese cuisine enthusiasts. 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!

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 were 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!
