I am pretty sure the standards have fallen drastically since this review was written.

My dining experience was the worst Japanese buffet dining experience ever, and the biggest waste of $39++/pax. The sashimi was not fresh, and all the other dishes were not just mediocre, but was really bad.

My partner and I barely had anything to eat, and we left to have a proper meal at Marché that was nearby. We’re not people who waste money either but the food was just really really bad.

I would never recommend this place. At least not to anyone I genuinely like.

This is our 1st visit to Senki Japanese Restaurant. Good recommendation from the review. But total disappointment when we were there. The table was extremely small and we were asked to sit upstairs right at a corner whereby there are still plenty of seats by 7.15pm.

The salmon was not fresh compared to other Japanese Restaurant. It is not worth to pay $39+++ with this quality and services.

I must say most comments here are right, the general food and service are pretty bad (well they seemed understaffed). However, for sashimi beyond the usual salmon and tuna selections, it is pretty good ????

Sashimi was unevenly sliced, tuna has a defrosted texture. Tempura was ok. Nothing fantastic …will not trust recommendation from this blog again.

the worst food I ever ate in my life. The sashimi is so stale and very fishy smell. Chawamushi is tasteless the grill mushroom have a raw fishy smell and I saw a fish scale on top of it.
How could it be the fish scale is on top of the mushroom?
After 30mins at the place I make my exit. I couldnt believe how awful it taste like and I wouldnt want get sick after eating a super not fresh food.

I thought of giving a try since Ikoi standard dropped but this senki is the worst thing I ever ate.

Not worth it and it’s way below expectation.
Should top up a bit and go Kuishinbo

I saw your post and went to have a try at this place. Very disappointed. Don’t think there are as many items as expected. I ran out of orders after 2nd round. Sashimi was also so-so. The swordfish was sliced very thinly, like fishcake. Sake available was really bad. Maybe the standards have dropped from before or maybe it’s just one-off. But I would never go back to give it another chance.

i love Z’en, quality is way better..i feel better than ikoi and irodori but its not as ‘main stream’ as what most Singaporeans like.

Went to this place once. Was horrible – think there are much better places in Singapore for Japanese

Yes, my favourite is the one at En Jap at Crown Centre too! It not only serves free flow sashimi and other high quality food it also serves wagyu beef shabu shabu All for $48++. How to beat that?

Having tried countless Jap buffets in Spore, I can safely say this is the best by far!

Beats Ikoi (standard dropped a lot over the years. Used to be my fav), Hanabi, Shin Minori, Himawari (pretty good too), and some others whose names are forgettable (there’s one at IMM, and one at Turf City).

Try En Dining!! You won’t regret it. Oh…and great service too!

Yummy! Oh I think you meant… Exercise can wait, not diet, right? Cos we all know that you don’t have the willpower to go on a diet! :p

Went Senki once and never want to go back there again. The grilled saba was so dried and the yakitori was tasteless….. Can try Kuishin Bo……….

The buffet at Hanabi is rather good.
