Something fishy is going on at Irodori Japanese Restaurant, which has a large seafood selection. The list doesn’t just stop at freshly sliced salmon sashimi but swordfish and octopus as well.

From Mookata to KBBQ, you can’t deny that we all love our grilled meat. Japanese charcoal grill buffets are equally good, and at Yakiniku Ohji you’ll be treated to a wide variety of meat. Although you can get more premium types of meat as you ascend their 4 buffet tiers, the first tier ($17.80), already has a good spread of chicken, pork, and sausages as well as different types of vegetables.
They also have a good sushi selection like the Unagi Cake Sushi Roll. This packs a punch on the flavour-o-meter with grilled smokiness and sweet tare sauce.
