Ikoi @ Hotel Miramar

Had a sudden craving for japanese buffet, so decided to try my luck to make a reservation with Ikoi at Hotel Miramar, usually they require a reservation of at least 3 weeks as they are always fully booked. But! I was so lucky, in addition to being able to make a reservation just 1 week before, I managed to get the normal table seats instead of the counter! I don't really favour counter seats as I'm relatively short which means my legs would dangle and it would be mad uncomfortable :s

 

Oh ya, they do have tatami style seatings but that's only for a group of 4 or more and also depending on availability.

Their complimentary welcome dish- I think it's marinated salmon sashimi in teriyaki sauce? It tasted super good! The sashimi was super fresh! No fishy smell detected. LOVE IT!!!

This sushi looks like california roll but it tasted even better as there's sesame seeds on the surface which made it more fragrant :) It's called Futomaki.

Complimentary teapot soup and claypot porridge. The porridge is really tasty but it was too much for both of us, it made us really full :s On top of the super fresh sashimi, dishes such as shishamo and tempura are highly recommended!

 

Another complimentary item: salmon soup? We suspect that they try to fill our tummy with lots of soup and porridge so that we will order less sashimi hahah.

 

We ordered a small serving of udon, it's not too bad.

We actually ordered more than this, but we were too busy eating to take photos of all the dishes that we ordered, sorry :p 

 

Overall verdict

The selections were great, food tasted fresh and flavourful. I read a few reviews saying that the service wasn't that good as they weren't fast enough. Thus when we are half way done with our food, we will order again so by the time we are done, the food would have arrived :) A recommended strategy so that you do not have to wait too long and get frustrated over it.

 

Personally, I feel that Ikoi is value for money and worth a try :) Do let me know your verdict.
