Our family came to Colony for the holiday dinner buffet on Thanksgiving. Have nothing but the best to say. The decor was beautiful and the service was fantastic. Everyone was very attentive, friendly, and helpful. There are endless food options with a great variety, all of which were delicious. You can add on a beverage package, which we did and were pleased with the selections. The restaurant was very family friendly while also feeling elevated at the same time, which is a great accomplishment. Adults and kids were happy, it was a win, win. We will absolutely be back next Thanksgiving and recommend to our friends. A thank you to entire staff, especially Mr. Raj, who went above and beyond to make our kids have a fun night.

We celebrated my mom’s birthday dinner. NingNing and the entire team made it an wonderful experience. From the moment we arrived, the warm smiles we received set the tone for a perfect evening. The buffet was outstanding — the seafood was fresh, the truffle silvers in some dishes added a special touch, and the lamb short ribs were a favourite. The Indian, Italian and Asian offerings were also exceptional. NingNing was incredibly warm and friendly. She had great attention to detail and made the celebration one we’ll always remember.

Wonderful experience. Excellent service. Had their chocolate high tea set for my niece birthday. The team is meticulous with small children, made us feel exceptionally comfortable. Definitely my go to whenever I’m craving for a relaxing and comfortable high tea.

Isabelle R
I had a great high tea at Fullerton hotel lobby lounge. Food seems tiny but this is just perfect for lunch. I hardly finished the 2 scones at the end. The high tea includes 2 plates of savoury assortment and one sweet plate. The food is simply great. I am not fan of egg mayonnaise but the truffle taste is irresistible. The tea selecting is reduced but all the tastes are covered. On arrival, an iced tea was served complimentary. An harpist played for a while, this is the cherry on top 😉 the staff is very professional. I strongly recommend the experience. It is better to book in advance. I found it fully booked on line but on the phone they found me a table.

Shinyie Lim
Brought our Dutch friends to The Courtyard for a lovely afternoon tea. They thoroughly enjoyed the experience and were thrilled to received a slice of chocolate cake and photo souvenir to take home with all their wonderful memories.

We enjoyed the oyster buffet and mini don buffet, featuring freshly shucked ponzu oysters, cheese oysters, mentaiko oysters, and a variety of scallops—absolutely delicious! We also tried the chicken don, wagyu don, and kaisen don. All of this for a great price of $75! Highly recommended for family and friends. 🙂

Joanne Kryztilia
I’m still reeling from my incredible dining experience at Kakurega! The Oysters and Mini Don buffet is a game-changer for seafood enthusiasts. From the moment I walked in, I was enveloped in a cozy and intimate atmosphere that set the tone for a fantastic meal. The oysters stole the show – incredibly fresh, plump, and full of flavor. Whether you like them classic or with a creative twist, there’s something for every palate. And the scallops? Equally impressive! A delightful contrast in texture and taste that complemented the oysters perfectly.

Moh
Oyster buffet was something new for me to experience! Don’t think I’ve eaten that many oysters before in my life. I loved the cheese oysters the most. The various don dishes were also delicious and I appreciate the small portions they came in. Thoroughly enjoyed the experience although by the end I became a bit scared of oysters 🤣 their potato salad so cute it came in a cone oh and the complimentary sashimi was super good 😋

Great place to have premium wagyu beef while hanging out with friends.

Syia
The food was absolutely delicious. The karubi had just the right amount of fat and was juicy despite my terrible cooking skills. The cooked items were served hot and were well-seasoned. I highly recommend the milk pudding to end off your dinner 🙂 the best part of the meal was the amazing service. Despite us not having a reservation, we were given a table fairly quickly even on a busy Friday night. The food came fast and the staff was polite and accommodating.

Deborah Li
Ate the Japanese wagyu buffet set. Loved the variety of cuts and other meats. Its a lot of choices, even more than other yakiniku places I’ve been before. Quality was good. Servers were really friendly and efficient. Great experience.

We were a party of four celebrating a birthday.  We chose the standard buffet and were happy and satisfied with the selections. The staff were helpful and service was attentive. And I was impressed that they did something nice for the birthday girl. All I did was did a note when making the reservation.  And I completely forgot about it so we were really surprised when they came out with the ‘cake’ and the birthday song. I would come back again in a flash. Thank you guys.

It’s now officially an upgraded restaurant. Each main dish comes with free buffet spread. A little more pricy but food is premium. Tried the premium beef steaks around S$70. It’s well marbled and melt in your mouth. Even the grilled chicken have a little taste of charcoal smoke taste. And now they do have refillable drinks for order.Food Quality A+ Quantity A Service A+

Janet Sheen
Food was good, steaks were okay in our opinion. We had the top sirloin and rib fingers. Both were cooked according to our requests  and enjoyed. The free flow salad bar came with every main course ordered. It had a very nice selection of cold and warm salad options. Also had asari clams (fat & juicy), eggplants, teriyaki wild mushrooms (yum!) and soup. Restaurant might be a little hard to find as it is in a corner. Just trust the signage and keep walking through the shop at the end of the aisle. or walk past BEST. Ambience was lovely with a nice outdoor view and natural lighting. Service was attentive. Worth a try!

Chen Wenni
Weekday lunch at bizen is super worth it cause of the free flow salad bar! Grilled chicken $19.90++ is really good and juicy (we scrapped off the ginger and didn’t touch the wasabi). Fish and chips kids meal $12.90++ is very nice too! Not the tasteless dory fish for sure. Highly recommended!

2nd time we were here.. love the thick slices of Sashimi! the buffet options is less that their ala carte menu but good enough to sample different items. The grilled chicken wings were very good in my opinion.  lightly salted and crispy.

Yong Jing Yi
Came here for dinner buffet on a Friday night for $48.90++ per pax and it’s totally worth it!

Xinyi Qu
Second time at this place, right next to Ikea Alexandra. The buffet menu is decent, sashimi is very fresh and thickly sliced (even by the third serving). The tempura is also freshly fried. Yakitori sauce is a bit much, and gets salty – probably can skip.

My husband and I really enjoyed our time at Nobu earlier this year (Apr) so we still wanted to post a review! Celebrated his birthday, and we appreciated it so much that the staff even made the effort to prepare a dessert and write a birthday message for him. The black cod miso was of course delicious as expected, and the ambience was excellent. Thank you very much for the wonderful experience. 🙂

We celebrated a birthday at Nobu recently and had a wonderful experience! The signature omakase was fresh, well prepared and flavourful. The black cod miso was heavenly! Definitely not to be missed! We also enjoyed the squid sushi and wagyu steak.
