AI Summary

Melbourne's over-the-top Japanese seafood buffet. unlimited king crab, lobster and wagyu.

A large, high-energy all-you-can-eat hall with a staffed sashimi counter and in-table gas burners for DIY cooking; packed and buzzing most nights, occasionally loud with piped music.

In-table gas burners for cooking your own raw seafood and wagyu, a staffed sashimi and sushi counter, a large dessert bar (tarts, churros, ice cream), unlimited soft drinks included, halal-friendly.

Presents as a genuine Japanese-style seafood buffet, per reviewer description, with sashimi, nigiri, ramen and teppanyaki-style tableside cooking.

Polarising. many find $189-239pp worth it for the range of premium seafood and wagyu, but a large share of reviewers flag hidden weekend, card and leftover-food surcharges that push the real bill well above the advertised price.
