so it was father’s day yesterday and since restaurants would be all booked out, we decided to go out on friday night instead along with my auntie and uncle. the decision of where to eat was left up to me and my brother. i thought to myself “OMG why don’t we go to a buffet with wagyu? then i can stuff myself with all the wagyu i want!”
in my first google search, i found a place in crows nest called ‘rengaya’. but it was way too expensive (since it was going to be my brother, my fiance and my treat) and a bit too far for us. so i searched more and found another place called sakae yakiniku house at eastwood. this place was cheaper and a little closer but i thought it was still a little too expensive. then, after more googling, i found a place called kaizen bbq at macquarie. this place was just $30 per person. i was ecstatic. BUT when fiance called them up, they said they don’t do buffets anymore. MAJOR LET DOWN T_T i sulked for awhile then decided to just go with sakae yakiniku house which was $43.80 per person.
we got the standard buffet and since they have a time limit, we sat down and stressed over what to order first. well, i obviously yelled out to order the wagyu rib fingers, wagyu thin skirt and the beef loin (just to see if it tasted good). i could not afford to fill my stomach out with non-wagyu food! oh and unfortunately, there won’t be many photos because i was too busy stuffing my face ^.^
squid and fish cake
takoyaki (at least what’s left of them)
so by the time we were almost done with ordering/stressing/eating/grilling/eating about 5 plates of wagyu rib fingers alone, we decided to get ice cream. i saved some extra space for dessert desserts; i had two and a half cups of ice cream HEHE.
to sum things up, the food was alright. althought some were a let down such as the wagyu thin skirt. service was prompt most of the times. some of our orders were forgotten till just before dessert. i think they should just get rid of the whole ordering system and put food out for us to get instead. or instead of that, get rid of the time limit. we were stressing about running out of time instead of enjoying the meal. the wagyu rib fingers were definately the highlight of the night for me – so fatty and soft! fiance’s favourite were the takoyakis. he probably had 2 – 3 plates on his own!

ps. i regret not taking more photos…
coming up next: i bought some wagyu online!
