Helpful Tips
Time Limits
Most all-you-can-eat restaurants have a 90 to 120-minute time limit.
Don’t Waste Food
Many restaurants charge extra if you leave excessive amounts of food. Only order what you can finish.
Make Reservations
Friday evenings, weekends, and public holidays are often very busy.
Booking in advance is recommended whenever possible.
English Menus
Many major restaurant chains now offer English menus or tablet ordering systems, making dining much easier for international visitors.
If I were recommending just two all-you-can-eat restaurants to first-time visitors, I’d choose Shabu-Yo for its excellent value and Yakiniku King for its fantastic variety of grilled meat.
Both are easy to use, reasonably priced, and great for families or groups with different tastes.

Whether you’re craving premium wagyu, fresh sushi, delicious shabu-shabu, Brazilian barbecue, or an impressive hotel buffet, you’ll find plenty of fantastic choices throughout the city.
