Niku X is a premium seafood and A5 wagyu buffet. Yes, that’s why I was looking forward to this special feast for so long. I finally got to try it.

I couldn’t believe the king crab and lobster tails and A5 wagyu is all you can eat with a plenty of time to eat and get full. My 2 close friends and I drove 1 hour in traffic to downtown to get this which was well worth it. 

It’s opens at 5pm. When we got there and entered the restaurant, you can immediately see the food station or buffet line, and it’s packed in long row of all sorts of goodies. 

To name some items that they were offering were: lobster tail, king crab legs, a variety of wagyu meat, shrimps, sashimi of different kinds of fish, sushi that’s out of this world, fruits, chicken wings, salad, and all this is at the buffet line or food station. Then, there’s foods or side dishes you can order separately that’s made from the chefs kitchen. I love their potatoes, oxtail dumpling, and miso soups that’s made from chefs kitchen. It’s a fantastic and amazing buffet. It has the one of the highest quality food and vast variety of food you can get for reasonable price. They got everything you want. 

If you look, you can see that there’s steak knives and a long scissor. What I want to say about that is the steak knives are gold because the A5 wagyu meat comes in good cut, but it would be hard to eat some pieces with 1 bite, so I used the steak knife to cut up the A5 wagyu into smaller slices and it feels so good to eat like that. I feel civilized using a knife and fork when I cut up meat. The long scissors are for to cut up the king crab legs, or you can cut up the meat with it too. You cut the shell with it and take a large piece of king crab out and dip in butter if you want. My friend was trying to pop the king crab leg with his hands and eat it without using the scissors and was having difficulty eating it, so I passed him the long scissors and told him to cut the shell and get a big piece. He ate so many king crab legs after that. We ate the lobster tail with butter. The lobster tail is already cooked and ready to eat, same for the king crab, so you don’t have to grill the lobster. The lobster tail in the back of the shell is already cut open so you can take out the lobster meat with ease and dip in butter and sear it for extra heat. Since the lobster tails are already cut open in the back, it makes it less messier to eat.

I got a very spacious high ceiling room to eat with. I’ve been here twice, once with only 1 friend and other time with 2 friends, but when I came here with 1 other friend, they still offered a spacious room for 2 of us. I thought that’s great service. The servers were all very kind both times I went. Maybe, I got lucky getting a room for 2 people, but I’m sure they can make arrangements if that’s what you desire. 

This is a yuzu cheesecake which was dessert. I asked what a “yuzu” is to the server, and she said it’s a type of Asian citrus. Wow! It’s one of the best cheesecakes I’ve ate. It’s like a traditional cheesecake with a really nice tart flavor from the yuzu. 

I’m not going to lie, this is the best buffet I’ve been to. One of my friends were worried he wouldn’t get full with the time limit because he’s a big guy, but we actually all 3 of us got extremely full and had to tap out before the time limit. Don’t worry about if you’re trying to get your moneys worth. You’ll get full at the buffet. 

Everything was beyond delicious, you have enough time to try out everything, and it’s perfect way to celebrate. To be able to get all these variety of highest quality food in abundance is a true blessing.
