Met up with my pals for ala-carte Japanese buffet dinner @ Shin Minori. Few weeks back, I went to Senki Japanese Restaurant @ Killiney Road for their buffet and I personally find that Shin Minori served better quality of Japanese food at an affordable price.
The service crew were friendly and responsive. As always, I was very hungry because I skipped my breakfast and only had light snacks so that I could eat more at dinner. Luckily, the crew served our food fast without waiting too long. In about 10-15 minutes, our table easily filled up with all the dishes that we ordered.
 |
| Complimentary dish ~ Lightly grilled fish head with sweet sauce. It's flavorful. |
 |
| We order California, Spider and Ebi Tempura Temaki ~ the way they wrapped the temaki was firm and filling was generous. Oishii desu ne |
 |
| Here were our skewers of grilled shitake mushrooms with katsuobushi (bonito flakes), a plate of yasai itame (fried mixed veg), saba teriyaki (grilled mackarel with teriyaki sauce), Breaded prawns, fried chicken wings and i think I ordered the spider maki set as the grilled eel sushi set were out from the menu that day :( |
 |
| Sashimi Moriwase ~ very fresh raw snapper, yellowtail, salmon, tuna and octopus. This was actually our 2nd order :) |
 |
| O0ops! Almost finishing the whole bowl of garlic rice and then remembered to snap a shot. The rice was very fragrant. |
This was my 2nd order of the grilled mackarel (saba). Earlier on, I had the saba with teriyaki sauce and now this was saba shioyaki (grilled with salt). The slice of saba was nicely grilled and the fishmeat was not dry and tough.
 |
| The shishamo (pregnant capelin) was a little disappointing as it was too charred and there wasn't much of roe. |
 |
| Gyuniku Shogayaki ~ Beef with special sauce. |
 |
| Pizza |
 |
| Thumbs up for this kani tempura ~ crispy and definitely goes well with beer ^.~ |
 |
| Salmon with special sauce. |
 |
| There was no dessert in the buffet menu so we ordered separately. Yuzu sorbet, Matcha ice cream with azuki beans & Wildberries gelato. |
 |
| Christmas deco is up at everywhere....Ho Ho Ho! |
There were supposed to have more mouth-watering food photos posted here but I was busy placing orders, eating and chatting with my pals ~ hehe!
Have a good week ahead ~ Cheerios
