The overall experience was good. The food was nice. The food came in small portions, so you can do a small sampling and order more if you like. Service was adequate. Food came quite quickly.

I think the staff are not very friendly to families with kids but they do have cutlery for kids. I think the menu is too little and does not come with the drinks and ice cream. So might not re-visit again. Food quality is still OK.

Was served spoilt unfresh foul smell salmon aburi sushi. Feedback to the waitress and she returned to reply that the chef said out was not spoilt.. The chef must be thinking we are idiot to be fooled by his ridiculous reply.

+++++ Service is very good. Attentive enough to call us in advance informing that the air con is faulty and may not be fixed in time for our reservation. We still proceed and must say it was very comfortable even without the air-con. They did get it fix while we are there and they offer free ice cream as a gesture. Orders are taken and served quickly +++ Food, in my taste, is average.

Was quite alright, value for money. But the place's ventilation is not good, quite smokey and warm. Sometimes they miss out orders as well. Otherwise, their wait staff are quite good.

Slow serving of food. Many orders being overlooked. The moment i walked in the restaurant i was welcomed by the oily stench which stayed onto my clothes and hair.

I like the ambiance of the restaurant, with an environment to suit to the food they serve. The food is, of course, exquisite. However, its strong flavor was slightly overpowering and the drinks could have more variety.

The raw fish is fresh. The rest of the food is either too salty or fried too hard! Not worth the money paid for. Need to pay for drink and also desert. There are better Japanese food around. I will not go back again. Thank you.

Food is fresh but place a bit dark. N as it gets to the peak hr, not enough manpower for a full house. Had to ask 3 times for our water refill.

I like the ala carte buffet at Shinkei because the food is served fresh and hot (for those hot food). Service is quite good and they clear the plates promptly. I wish they could have some dessert items or fruits to complete the meal.

This is the worst buffet i ever come across. Paying $47/pax for it, is totaly not worth. imagine i have to pay seperately for the drink ( Soft Drink ) $1++ for the green tea. The food are really in poor quality. i will not recommend my other associate to come again. My business partner is not comfortable with it. OMG !

Service from the staff was prompt and friendly. As the food portions are small, it enables one to enjoy their wide selection and variety of food choice. Overall a great experience and their sashimi was yummy!

Overall it was a good experience. The food was fresh and because we went in a big group, we were given the private room which was nice. Spent around $42/pax which I feel was a bit pricey considering the choices was not that wide. Hot and Cold green tea should be included instead of having to pay for it. Fast in serving the food and the waitress explained how to order the food well. Will return.

The waiting time is very long (more than 30mins). Understandably, it was close to Christmas so the restaurant was very full. However, the sashimi we ordered was very fishy and does not taste fresh. Their portions are small, very different from the images of the menu items. Some orders were not keyed into the system thus some items were not delivered to our table.

Place was nice. Food was served rather quickly at first, but as the hour went on, some orders were forgotten. Tables should have a copy of the order so they can keep track of what has arrived/not arrived.

The food was good, as usual, and we were given surprise gifts because it was Christmas Day. What a pleasant surprise :)
