There's a new buffet in town and this time, it's not about quantity but quality. Yes,
Banzai The Great Teppanyaki Theatre opens in
SM MOA San Miguel by the Bay just beside
Buffet 101 to offer its
quality authentic Japanese dishes and more.
By more, it has a
Teppanyaki Show that showcase their skillfulness by juggling eggs, knife and other utensils,
Japanese Dancers surround the stage and there's a
Trick Art Gallery where you can wear Ninja, Naruto, Sumo wrestler and kimono costumes with their fun and playful painted wall backgrounds so there's no other restaurant like it.
It's a real bold move by
Marvin Agustin and partner
Ricky Laudico to open a large-scale Japanese buffet restaurant like this but I bet their experience in the Japanese restaurant industry has rendered them the most suitable for this kind venture.
It offers a wide range of fresh sashimi and sushi selection prepared by their Japanese chef.
I recommend you to try their fresh
Salmon Sashimi and
Banzai Maki.
For extra carbs, they have a pastry section.
There are lots of Japanese Salads available. I suggest the
Wakame Salad and
Spicy Tuna Salad.
There are some simple but healthy ones if that's what you prefer.
You can even make your own salad.
If you want
Cold Soba, they have that.
The
Cold Cuts Station isn't really Japanese but be glad it's there so you can devour the
Peking Duck!
So here's what I got for starters. Everything is good in this plate.
They're the only buffet I've seen with a
Takoyaki Station. It's good to try but don't expect it to be extraordinary.
The Japanese pizza are thin-crust and crunchy so if you love pizza, give it a go.
The Gyozas are very good! Try the
Chicken or Beef Gyoza for a change.

| Yakitori Station |
For
Yakitori, the
Chicken Teriyaki is a must try! All your classic yaki favorites are there too.
 |
| Miso Ramen |
They also offer the basic ramens: Shio, Shoyu, Miso and Tantanmen. According to their Japanese ramen chef, Miso and Tantamen are his specialty. My
Miso Ramen broth and ingredient variety does not disappoint. The noodles are ordinary though.
 |
| Wagyu Roast Beef |
This is the best roast beef I've ever encountered! Insist to have a thick slice of this and have it cooked medium to fully appreciate this.
They have a wide variety for
Teppanyaki so choose wisely (by worth or preference hehe)! They have
Okonomiyaki there too.
The
Salmon and Oysters are my favorite. Don't forget to try them with the sauces if you find them bland.
The
Beef Misono is so tender and tasty! Try that too.
There are also lots of other cooked dishes like
Steamed Lapu-Lapu.
 |
| My Dessert Plate |
There are a lot of dessert choice but my picks are the
Mango Mousse and
Creme Brulee. The
Avocado Mousse was already bittterish.
 |
| Bread Pudding |
Snow cones are perfect for the summer!
The rates are inclusive of drinks which includes
Iced Tea,
Red Tea,
Blue Lemonade and
Milo. There's a hot
Nescafe machine too.
