If you’re a fan of Wagyu beef, head on over to Inahachi Shabu-Shabu for all-you-can-eat Japanese shabu-shabu hotpot, sashimi, and DIY tempura. Choose your all-you-can-eat package from US natural pork ($178), chicken ($168), US supreme beef ($208), US supreme beef short rib ($258), Australian Wagyu beef ($318), and Japanese Wagyu beef ($388). Don’t leave before trying the DIY tempura machine—it’s as easy as selecting your desired vegetable skewer, dipping it in tempura sauce, and inserting it into the fryer yourself. Needless to say, it’s imperative to come hungry!

Hibiki Japanese Yakiniku may not be the cheapest all-you-can-eat barbecue option among the many yakiniku restaurants in town, but its selection of meat is worth the extra dollar. Customers can indulge in free-flow Wagyu barbecue meat, sashimi, hot foods, and even whole bottles of wine, as well as mini tubs of Mövenpick ice cream. Best for an especially ravenous night with pals, prices start from $388 per person.

Contemporary Japanese restaurant Zuma has long been one of our to-go spots for buffet brunches and it’s obvious why—this Landmark stalwart offers an extensive selection of fresh sashimi and hot and cold starters that come included in the free-flow weekend buffet.
On top of that, guests can also treat themselves to one main course per person, from a mouth-watering grilled hamachi kama with lemon and sea salt to roasted lobster, shiso, and ponzu butter. Add on the free-flow package to revel in unlimited champagne, cocktails, beer, wine, and more. Prices start from $758 for food only and $998 for food and drinks.

If you love your all-you-can-eat experience with a side of gimmicks, head to Wagyu Yakiniku Ichiro, where six different unlimited Wagyu set menus (starting from $348) are available for you to choose from. For two hours, you can order as much as your stomach desires, all of which will be delivered straight to your table on a miniature replica of the Shinkansen bullet train—much like what you might have seen in sushi restaurants. For a small fee, you can help yourself to free-flow salads, desserts, and soft drinks from the self-serve bar.
