A big thank you to @Vessi for sponsoring this video! After a few meals in Japan, I realized that the buffets are a bit different here than with its Vegas counterparts. While elegant with exception care and attention so the ingredients and dishes, it was just missing a bit of grandeur and over the top abundance that we've seen in the Vegas style buffets. However, I can across Japan's largest buffet and to my surprise, it's a Vegas style buffet! Will we see grand showcases of dishes and offerings along with the care and attention that is accustom to the Japanese service and hospitality? I can't wait to find out!
...and it certainly did not disappoint and to top it off, it was great value! A seemingly endless amounts of stations each hosting a seemingly array of dishes; from well made comforting dishes, to individual elegant sophisticated offerings, to the live stations, it was a great experience. The seafood and meats were top notch and well as the welcoming hosts and servers. The endless flow of drinks with wine, beer, whisky, cocktails, and a great umeshi plum wine was a bit indulgent, but I guess that's the point. Just make sure you save room for dessert as that was spectacular by Vegas & Japanese standards! Oh, did I tell you the price? An incredible deal at $35-$45 USD

The fact that we get free food&travel videos on UA-cam by Tim is truly a gift. 👏👏👏
You're paying for it by watching ads
Thank you so much for reaching out and incredibly grateful and humbled to get to experience and share these places 🙂
Hey! Didn’t you just make this exact comment on Rockstar Eaters video 😂
@@Scripner True but he is an unauthenic salesman in it for the money. Tim is genuine!
@@debrosenbloom1731 yes he is
Iron chef Japan inspired me to become a cook . Working in a busy restaurant I could sometimes hear the dubbed over voices in my head .
To the person reading this, even though I don't know you. I wish you the best of what life has to offer 🙏 🙌😊❤️

I wish you the same!

I never would have thought of going to a buffet in Tokyo! Food looked delicious. Will have to check it out the next time I’m there!
Makes me hungry just watching you taste this beautiful food.
Thanks Tim for providing your expertise on foods in restaurants across the world spectrum. Japan is my favourite destination for sightseeing and most importantly for the shopping and dining experience. Now that the COVID restrictions are no longer enforced, it’ll be great to go on shopping expeditions in Tokyo and Osaka in December 2023. If the Tokyo Arts and Crafts Show is scheduled in 2023, that will be a wonderful shopping experience for Christmas gifts. I’ll pick up a pair of VESSI sneakers prior to the trip. Best of luck in your travels discovering new and/or unique dining experiences.
Thank you for the video! I love watching you and enjoy your positive attitude. I recently learned about baumkuchen so I'm happy to share that is in fact a German treat.
German! That was it.. thank you so much 😃
My trip to Tokyo in October….I might have to eat here every day…SO EXCITED…thank you Tim
Thx Tim great content again. Love your humble pure soul, always treating others with so much respect and kindness ❤❤❤
Thank you so much for taking the time to reach out! All the best of you and yours
Amazing buffet..so clean and the food looked delicious...enjoy , safe travels and God Bless 😘🤗💕
Thank you again Jade and hope you're enjoying the summer time 🙂
Looked delicious. Great price. Beautiful hotel. Thanks and take care.
Thanks - this a wonderful video and a great tour!
Thank you so much 😃
Tim, it was great that you took us to Tokyo to taste their 5 star hotel buffet. Every dish seemed so delicious. Thanks so much for sharing your experience with us. Where are you bringing us in your next video? I am looking forward to it.
Another amazing buffet video 😍 the food looks fantastic. Japan is some awesome good with great presentation.
Glad to have found this buffet in japan.. nice to see the extravagance here
Thanks again for bringing us this joy of a feast from Tokyo! The price was also very reasonable.
The food was great and so were the people... Very reasonable price indeed especially for Tokyo 😃
Tim! My first pair of Vessi’s arrived yesterday. Can’t wait to test drive them in the rain! Thanks for the recommendation.
Thank you so much for reaching out! It will come in handy in the fall when the rain starts.. hope you're enjoying the summer 😃
Thanks for the short tour and nice buffet. I don't like to eat under stress since I like to enjoy & chew my food thoroughly. 2 hours seems unreasonable when there are lines everywhere. Thanks, Tim. I always enjoy all your adventures.
It was a good experience and yes, that time limit was a bit challenging especially with the filming 😉
Hi Tim. I like your videos and really enjoy watching it specially when you're in a buffet..will wait for anorher buffet content..God Bless!.
Thank you so much for your time comment and all the best to you and yours 🙂
I love that the serving sizes are so small. It is perfect so you can try everything and not be stuffed. plus the free drinks!
The buffets in Japan are quite nice.. very nice small intricate dishes
Thanks for taking us along Tim. Everything looked delicious (squid and cheese not so much) always look forward to your videos.
Until the next time 👋 for now.
Yeah, that squid cheese was a bit of a surprise.. very pungent 😉
Wow, I wish I could eat that much! So many desserts! I feel inspired to travel to Japan someday soon. 😊
tim thank you for the great review ,the food looked terrific thank you tim
It was quite a nice evening and the space in the buffet was quite impressive.. good food as well 😋
@TimLeeLetsGo thank you Mr. Tim again for another food experience. Keep up the great work good sire 👍🫡
Thank you again for your very kind comment 😃
That looks like a wonderful buffet. It was also lovely to see Tokyo streets.
There are so many great in Tokyo in general... Lots of great little eateries along the streets and will try to capture those as well 😃
Omg you had me at escargot! Soup dumplings or lo mein also a favorite.thanks for taking us with you.
Well not a big fan of escargot, those were delicious! It was a very nice experience and really great service and hosts 😃
Tim, you are such a lovely polite young man, glad I stumbled on your channel, 😊
Thank you so much for reaching out and for the kind comment 😃
I'm in love🥰🤤😋🥰🤤😋.
The staff,food,price, atmosphere is magnificent indeed ❤️❤️❤️!
😜 at those colorful burgers. @ $45 buffet Vegas style, that's an amazing deal in Japan! Love their hospitality and good service. 👌
It was nice to find a Vegas style buffet in Japan and at $45, it was quite a nice deal
Las Vegas is notorious for so-called low cost breakfast buffets. My friend's son was asked if he wanted a glass of orange juice with the meal. He ordered the glass and had a shock with a $16 bill for a glass of orange juice not included in the buffet price.
It is now on my "must visit" list. For that, thank you! I would really appreciate a guide to japanese food for the uninitiated.. what it is, what to put on it, how to eat it, etc.
Thank you so much and this was a very nice buffet in Japan. Really enjoyed it and kinda reminds you of the Vegas style buffets
Would love to go one day! I like how they cut the prime rib in bite pieces. Everything looks yummy! 🤙
I enjoy watching Tim’s vid. He also responds to his subscribers. That’s a huge for me. Even if it’s a thnk u. It’s enough. Some of them u tubers don’t even reply bck. It’s nice to acknowledge ur fans & Tim always does ths.
Thank you for your kind comment. I do try and really am grateful and humble to get to experience and share these places
First time coming across your vids Tim. 👌. .. Hope you're having/had a great time here in Tokyo.
Thank you so much! Really enjoy Tokyo and other parts of Japan!
little bits of everything, so nice
Great find, Tim! Everything looked great!
Thank you Bill and Lisa.. finally found a Vegas style type buffet in Tokyo 😃
Another great buffet Tim. I agree with your comparison to the Iron Chef set. Thanks for taking us along 😊
Thank you so much again and it was a bit like an arena. A very happy Independence Day to you coming up 😃
@@TimLeeLetsGo Thanks Tim... belated Canada Day 🇨🇦
Another wonderful video! Cheers to you Tim for the joy you bring to so many by sharing your food adventures!
Thank you so much for your kind comments. 😀
Hi Tim, thanks for bringing a taste of Japan to us. Some beautiful sights and the buffet looks amazing. Safe travels and God bless.
Really enjoyed japan.. so many interesting things to see and to eat as well 😋
@@TimLeeLetsGo Thanks, Tim!
You got it Tim, that famous intersection is at Shibuya station and it's called "the Scramble". No question why ;) Several thousand people can cross it during a single light change!
One of the funnest crossings I've ever been to 😃
Tiny hotel room but a lovely room and that bed looked very cosy, the footwear looks very cool. Wow you go to some brilliant places and the food as always amazing. Your videos are excellent great entertainment, Thank You💗
Thank you so much.. that room was actually quite large as I've quickly found out that they do get smaller and smaller and smaller 😉 . Hope all is well with you and yours
Tim, Sophisticated buffet. Excellent looking food. Best
This was quite a nice find! Really enjoyable and quite reminiscent of the Vegas style buffets 😋
As always the best reviews. 😊
Thank you so much for your kind comment 🙂
Tim, you’re everywhere! I thought you cover Las Vegas only. Now I realized you’re touring the globe. I am Francisco, Master of Flambe in Vegas!
The one buffet I was surprised at was a hotel in Milan. We had just checked in and were hungry. We noticed a buffet in the hotel restaurant. We grabbed a plate that was rather large but we did not think much of it. We ate and then were charged for two buffets each. It was explained the buffet price was for one trip only. The delicious lunch with two trips cost up roughly $85 each.
😮
Very dishonest of the hotel.
Mafia hotel
All-in-All that was a nice buffet & priced right for the selection of dishes! In 2 hours you can eat a lot!
To be honest, I was getting a little bit concerned about the buffets in Japan until I came here. Very reasonably priced and I believe they normally have crab and other seafoods as well, just not on the day I was filming. Agreed, 2 hours is plenty of time.. though it was a bit of a challenge to film and eat within the two hours. Not too bad, but just had to be very mindful of the time and avoid the lineups 😉
This looks amazing 🤤🤤
WOW BEAUTIFUL BUFFET
It was quite an enjoyable experience 😋
Great video, thanks
Thanks Tim . The buffet will be one of our dinner in the upcoming trip to Japan in 8/23
That should be a fun event. I understand they have seafood like crab and other items now that they didn't have when I was there
Great video tim food looked very good reminds me of vegas for sure. Vegas is you're main place for buffets in my humble opinion.
I am certainly missing the Vegas buffets.. I wonder if it should be time to spend another weekend in vegas.. just need to make sure I can book time off or go on a very short weekend trip
Another great video! That buffet looked amazing! (Ps - I used to LOVE the Iron Chef show)!
Isn't that like the greatest show? Even when Alton Brown took it over
Truly the best buffet reviews on all of social media. Change nothing. I love your videos. 👍👍
Thank you so much for your kind comment and just having a lot of fun on this channel. Really grateful and humble to you get to experience and share these places 😃
I love the plates at the Yakitori place and the food looked yum as well. In the buffet I don't think I could have passed the beautiful breads Everything looked amazing in the buffet ...even the walls.. oh! man had to come back in those deserts look amazing i'd go there just to have a go at all those deserts for 2 hours 😁
It was quite an outstanding Buffet reminiscent of the Vegas establishments... Always working against the clock though so should have hit up the dessert early as well 😉
@@TimLeeLetsGo they looked really good...maybe the conveyor belt dessert place in Tokyo would be a good try
Wow. Excellent intro. The Japanese are proud of what they do.
I love your “matrix of desserts! “ This meal was extraordinary. Everything looked perfectly cooked and mouthwatering. Seems Japan is a country rife with long lines! Great video. 👍🏻🌹👍🏻
Lol, there is a bit of a wait everywhere. Really respectful though and lots of good food throughout. Thank you so much and all the best to you and yours.😀
Oh my days Tim! This was a truly difficult, filled with green envy.. yet, delightful video to watch! 😅 much love once again from Tracey Uk 🇬🇧
It was nice to find a Vegas style Buffet here in japan. Hope all is well with you and yours 😃
@@TimLeeLetsGo all good thanks, same to you 🤗
I'm in heaven. Looks so delicious.
That was quite a spectacular space.. very good food and great people too
Amazing 👏 What a beautifully display of delicious culinary experiences ❤️ everything was so very clean and presented so beautifully. Thank you for sharing. 😊
It was quite an enjoyable experience! Good food and great servers and hosts 🙂
Hapuna is my favorite buffet in Japan. Try to go every year. Tim, try not to point with chopsticks, in Japan it’s considered bad table manners.
Thank you so much for taking the time to reach out. I would love to visit there every year as well.😃 thanks for the heads up about the chopsticks… Good point😉
A “Lee” should know about basic chop sticks etiquette 😂
@@ddnn974he’s a Canadian lol
btw, you got me interested going to Tokyo, Japan. I worked there years ago but it is good to go again. TY.
Thank you so much for reaching out and hope you’ll be visiting soon… As nice as the buffets were, it’s the little restaurants that were very fun and unique😋
Well done Tim. The time limit would have made me think about starting with the desserts. You made good choices as usual..
It was definitely working against the clock there! I actually hit the 2-hour mark and had a gentle reminder from the server😉
With your humble manner, I am sure you didn't rebuff by saying, “Do you know who I am,” as Reese Witherspoon did a few years ago to the cop on the highway?
Thanks for the info
Great video Tim,
Did you need to pre-book Hapuna ahead of time, or could you wait in the queue.
As always thanks for sharing your videos tim im still waiting to cook for you here in Houston sending much love tim
You are very kind 😃... And wonderful southern hospitality on display 🙏😃
The dessert looks good. The sushi and meat look
Good
Loved Iron Chef! Watched and taped so I watched it often. Haven't in years as my tape player no long works. Might get a new one as I still have lots of video tapes. Everything on the buffet looked wonderful, especially the desserts. I love fried calamari. Good price too. Your skills with the Japanese style chopsticks are improving. Hello from hot and sunny Oregon.
Warmest greetings to you from vancouver! I suspect it is quite warm in there in oregon. Really enjoyed this buffet and glad to find one that is more reminiscent to the North American ones. Thank you so much
If I go there I will focus on the prime rib, New York strip steak, veggie tempura, seared sea bass sushi, tuna sushi and the tamako. And a couple of trays of desserts like Tim did lol. I’m literally salivating.
They certainly do a very good job at this Buffet. And it’s nice to know they change things up from time to time offering really nice seafood now.
Lovely!!
It was like a buffet arena!
The food looks amazing, another great video! I loved those divided plates. Long time watcher but first time commenter. I'm curious if some other buffets are more relaxed on their seating time with you, due to you paying for your meal and the added publicity? You seemed to reference the 2 hours in this video and the time limit, more often than in other ones.
Thank you so much for taking the time to reach out! Yes, the Buffay time limits were pretty strict here in Japan. Usually I take the time to walk around the buffet and check it out and the long lineup to get in also cut into the reservation time. Lol, there was a bit of time pressure to finish the meal 😉
That buffet looks amazing. Think we'll have to check it out next month! Thanks Tim!
What a beautiful place and the food have a safe and happy Fourth of July from Georgia ❤
A very happy and safe 4th of July to you and yours 😃
i don't mind trying though it seems like a large mix of low end food made Japanese style. Like they don't even have shrimp tempura and sushi is of limited choices...they want to fill you up with carbs - risotto, pasta, udon lol!
We stayed at th is hotel in January and had no idea the buffet was so good. We had the breakfast buffet on one of our days and that was excellent too. We are going back in November and staying here again and will def check out the dinner buffet. It's a beautiful hotel as well.
That is such a gorgeous hotel and a beautiful area right by the JR railway ... Gosh, I never seen a bigger railway station ever
@@TimLeeLetsGo That's part of the reason why I chose to stay at that hotel. It's literally right across the street from Shinagawa Station.. You can take the train from there straight to Haneda Airport. You can catch the Shinkansen right there.. plus, that restaurant area that you walk thru to get from the station to the hotel also has some really delish places. It's just not as crowded as Central Tokyo and the hotel rooms are a bit bigger.. Thanks for your informative video.. It's nice to see you enjoying your food as much as you do..
Mmmm a nice glass of wine 🍷
The free-flowing drinks were nice 🥂
That's Awesome 👏🙏
It was quite spectacular..
WOW really beautiful buffet and Tokyo 🧐🤩👍🏻🆒👏😎
It was one of the nicer buffets in Japan...kinda what I've been used to in North America and Vegas
@@TimLeeLetsGo I Love your Videos Tim, my son and I saw how delicious The Vegas restaurants&Buffet and we both say cheers from being inspired by your videos, thank you for bringing a amazing journey with the world.
Food and travel channels of my are my favorites.
Tim, you are the only food channel I watch, because you eat with great etiquette and manners.
It's sad & difficult for the observer to watch other vloggers gulp and shovel their food in at great buffet restaurants. It can be a real turn off.
Thank you for your etiquette in showing us great dining.🏆👍
Thank you so much for your kind comment. Just grateful and humbled to get to visit and share these places. It's a lot of fun
Hey bro ! Good to see you eating your veggies 😅 ! Kalimarie and squid are the same , just like escargot and snail 🐌 are the same , thanks 😊 for sharing , from Florida
I must say that the squid / calamari and Japan seems to be so much better. Just my thought. Warmest greetings from Vancouver Canada
Foods definitely are yummy 😋
I was starting to lose faith in the Japanese Buffets, but this place redeemed all hopes 😋
Will visit it if traveling Tokyo. Thanks for the recommendation.
Love the Video! You bite the top of the soup dumpling babe hehe
They said: oh here comes dennis the menace! 😆
I did notice a few people with their palms on their forehead reaction 😂
The hotel room my company booked for me was about half that size!! It was a Tokyo business hotel with walk-in closets for rooms! lol!
The rooms are a bit small😆. How did yours get anymore smaller?😉
Tim even knows the name of the chef, unbelievable! No wonder he is treated with such grand entrance.
Oh, I generally walk around the buffet before filming and get a chance to meet some of the servers and chefs … (and to get there permission as well)
@@TimLeeLetsGo Who wants to stay behind the scenes? It's very thoughtful of you also to include those heroes (chefs and servers) in your film. I am sure they would be thrilled to tell their friends and relatives.
Looks fantastic!! Hate the fact that Vegas has gotten rid of about half of the buffets here…
nice, I will get a pair. Good looking shoes.
They are quite nice, especially for work or travel😀
Love how you and Sonny do a 'yum' sound before you eat some food! Yes you both do it!
Ha, never realized that.. I guess it's just a natural reaction 😉
@@TimLeeLetsGo It's adorable. You both love your food. As a cook I think it's awesome. Wish my partner would make that noise - hahaha
First things first, "gotta do something" with that hair, lol seriously.
Love those buffet, another excellent food feasting, Tim... and Japanese, wow!!!
Oh, no blue burger. George Carlin said "there is NO BLUE FOOD! Love slurrping noodles! Buffet looks fabulous. Thank you
I was surprised to see a blue Burger there 😆
Dang i wish we had this in Florida!!! Mmmm all of it looks so good (minus the raw squid) lol
19 minutes ago, you posted and you already have 383 views. and i know thats about to explode!
Just grateful to get to share an experience these places. Hopefully the editing is getting better 🤦🏻♂️😉
Looks great! May have to check it out in Dec. No crablegs?? 😢
That's some great looking food at that buffet in Tokyo. Cheers, Tim and God Bless! 👍🏻👍🏻✌️🇨🇦
It was quite a nice place and good to see that the buffets in Japan are getting better and better... a happy Canada Day and Independence Day to you
Cheers to the fine food and you.
Cheers to you as well 🥂
I wish I was there .good food
Hope you get a chance to visit! This was quite a nice experience😋
the food looked good.
Very enjoyable as well.. very nice people and a nice Grand Buffet 😋
Ok. Bro, this looks like a top notch buffet. No games in japan
Quality is very similar to Itoen and Yukai hotel chains, meaning low-grade, Chinese imported ingredients.
❤ the show beautiful jptokyo
I love my vessies I painted the soles black because I don’t like the white. It was an interesting video. I really don’t like that kind of eating the price is probably reasonable and I like that they have a two hour limit. I didn’t see many vegetarian options
Thank you so much! It was a pretty good experience. Glad you enjoyed the Vessis … I think they have an all black sole as well
15% not bad 😁😁😁
