your highest mark is 5 out of 10. Really worth to try?
Is this lunch or buffet? is it on everyday, or only on certain days?
Gill - Personally i think it is worth it provided the service improve.
It is ala carte buffet daily during lunch. http://www.foodpromotions.com.my/2009/08/ichiban-japanese-cuisine-ala-gurney.html
Just callup to confirm, Ichiban only serve ala carte buffet during weekdays (Mon-Fri)
Thanks for the update Caslyn.
Hies~
The buffet for weekdays is only available for lunch ?? Thanks
Hies - Yes is it for lunch only. Remember to make your reservation in advance.
Hi, new to the blog, i called up and they sed that everything is free flow except for sashimi.. I still dun understand what it means?
They have changed their offer.
RM35++ per person - serves only 1 round of sashimi
RM48++ per person - all you can eat from the ala carte menu
I tried it with my family 2 wks back and was so disappointed. We reached at 1pm and by 1.45, our 1st round of orders has not even finished been served and the staff told us it was the last order call. We barely ate anything yet at that point.
Food served was so slow. Portion pathetically small. Service has not improved at all. We had to order in multiple quantum until we lost track and the same thing keeps coming out. Most orders lost and never served.
My advise... DO NOT GO. WASTE OF MONEY.
