The meal includes a variety of buffet options, such as salads, thick soups, and curries, while the main courses like steak and fish fillet are quite impressive. The curry rice and ice cream are especially outstanding, leaving a lasting impression.
Located on the fifth floor of LALAPORT shopping mall, the restaurant is independent and not far from other restaurants, offering a comfortable environment that is suitable for gatherings.
The speed of serving during meals was a bit slow, but although there was a self-service bar available, the friendliness of the staff was acceptable. Overall, the experience was pleasant.
The food street located on the fifth floor of Lalaport has unique restaurants and comfortable seating areas. The salad bar offers a variety of choices, fresh and tasty, and both the borscht and cream soups are delicious, along with the available curry. The selection at the self-serve bar is diverse, although the drink options are somewhat forgettable. The main dishes are standard and make for a decent choice for occasional gatherings, but the prices are relatively high. If you're on a tight budget and not too concerned about the ambiance, having a small, thick steak could also be a good option.
Thanks Fooday🥳 for making me want to try more different foods🍽

🍴About the meal☕
The food service is quite slow. While waiting for the main meal, you can enjoy the buffet bar first. I accidentally ate three bowls of curry rice first, and even though I was full of rice, there was no food. There are appetizer salads, fruits, smoothies, coffee, drinks, soups and ice cream available on the side; there are two kinds of bread to choose from, and corn chips and chocolate sauce can be added next to the ice cream.
After filling the stomach wall first, the main meal finally came. The meat itself was very thick so it was not big. When you cut it open, you can see that it is still red inside. Fortunately, there is a black thing on the dinner plate, you can cut the meat slices and put them on it. Use the remaining heat to control the doneness. If you cut it directly and eat it, I think it's a bit hard to bite; if it's slightly heated and cooked for about 7 minutes, it's much better to bite, and it's delicious when paired with the dipping sauce on the side. Garnishes include onions, broccoli, sweet potatoes, and sliced tomatoes.
🤨Conclusion♥
At this price point, I don't think the taste is outstanding, but I ate here with my family this time, and I probably won't come back here unless there is a need for a dinner party.
The Japanese steakhouse that my friends highly recommend is an eye-opener for me, a country bumpkin.
On the left hand side of the entrance is the salad bar. In L-shaped order, there are fruit desserts/salads/soups/curry sauces/rice/breads. The beverage cabinet has hot and cold drinks, as well as smoothies and ice cream! Incredibly rich.
After taking a seat, you decide on your main meal first. The hamburger steak contains beef, which tastes tender and juicy, and the dipping sauce gives it a different flavor. The outside of the fish fillet was fried a little hard, but the fish meat inside tasted solid and elastic, and it was just right with the tartar sauce.
There are many choices of salad side dishes and they are all fresh. I chose black vinegar, which is very refreshing. There are two choices of thick soup. Tomato soup is slightly sour and full of ingredients, which is very appetizing. My favorite is curry rice and ice cream. ! The curry rice tastes slightly spicy, and paired with the rice with distinct grains, it really makes people hate how small their stomachs are! The ice cream also performs very well ~ the passion fruit and mango sauce is really the perfect ending! Warabi mochi is a matter of opinion. I like the taste of soybean powder and brown sugar, so it is a dessert that I must eat desperately.
Please come to eat and empty your stomach first, otherwise it would be a shame not to try it!
