We had japanese buffet dinner. The spread and dishes provided was sufficient and adequate. Was surprised to find the sashimi served was thick and fresh to enjoy. The restaurant atmosphere was good, not too many tables hence the crowds wasn't too large. The service by the staffs team were good. We enjoyed the evening. Serving speed was fast even with the restaurant crowded. Car parking was easy. Pricing was reasonable for the spread they provided. Will plan to revisit soon.

Love this Japanese makan place! The sashimi are so fresh & the portions are so generous!! It is more worthwhile if you go for their buffet that costs about $56++ as a plate or sashimi is about $18 per plate if you order a la carte so if you order 3 plates is about the cost of the buffet ? They have a lot of options under buffet menu, is advisable to go empty stomach :-) However, the entire place can be quite noisy so go with the mindset that you are going to eat and eat, dun worry about the noise ☺️

Himawari – The Japanese buffet I didn’t want to tell you about. Look, I really wanted to gatekeep this one—but good food deserves a little spotlight. Himawari Japanese Restaurant quietly delivers one of the most satisfying Japanese buffet experiences out there, and I’m still dreaming of that sashimi. Let’s start with the Shabu Shabu. The broth starts off soft and light, but after a good simmer? It transforms into this comforting, umami-rich hotpot that hits the spot—especially after you’ve gone ham on the sashimi. And speaking of sashimi—fresh, chunky, generous. No sad slivers here. The tako sashimi had me going back for seconds (and thirds), and the variety? Definitely punches above its price point. Soft shell crab came out cold—hard pass. I enjoyed the grilled shishamo, but the fried version didn’t quite hit. The fried stuff, especially the tempura, is a must-try though—light, crisp, and all kinds of satisfying. Sushi is okay, and I found the handrolls not too exciting. So unless you’re a diehard, maybe don’t waste precious stomach real estate there. And now for dessert: they only offer four ice cream flavours, but these come in individual tubs and taste like the good stuff—not cheap, fluffy filler. It’s a classy little ending to a full-on feast. Honestly, I didn’t have enough stomach to try everything—but what I did manage to devour was seriously worth it. Verdict: An underrated gem for Japanese buffet lovers. Great quality, comforting hotpot, and a satisfying sweet finish. Come hungry, pace yourself, and maybe… let’s keep this one hush-hush.

There was a lunch crowd at around 12pm. On average the serving time is approx 15-20mins wait. Despite that food was great! The sashimi cut was thick and fresh!
