Erick and I are not usually fond of buffets. We are not usually in to trying new foods. But I guess its about time that we try something different. Last week, we were invited to hold our team mini reunion at Yakimix, Alabang Town Center. It has a unique variety of Japanese cuisines which offers buffet and fine dining at a relatively affordable price. You may also check out their menu here.
Lunch buffet starts at 11 AM and ends at 3 PM. We were there ahead of time for reservation. Since its usually crowded, its best if you come in before 11 AM. We got there around 10 AM and I was shocked when I saw the long queue.
We waited for our name to be called and from then on, everything went on smoothly. Customer service was great and the ambiance looked so posh and light. It just so happened that the burner where we were seated was defective so we have to call the crew each time we needed to grill. It was a hassle in a way, but since the crews looked so accommodating, we didn't mind. :)
This was how the buffet looked like:
There were like 4 rows of cuisines ranging from meats, Japanese foods, dessert, some known Filipino foods like Crispy Pata, chopsuey, veggies, sea foods and the like. Cake was from Red Ribbon and Ice cream was from Nestle. I didn't enjoy the main courses as much as my friends did, but I super made sure I'd take in as much sweets as I could. It was like being in a food paradise. For someone who loves Japanese food, it was superb. I can tell by the looks of my friend's faces. :) Here's how their plates looked like:
I enjoyed the grilling part. I tried all sorts of meat available. :)
And to here's the part I enjoyed the most.
Yes, I tried all of it! :)
This was a happy place for me. I guess you can bring me anywhere with lots of sweets and I'd approve it. I am not really a good food critic since I don't eat all types of food. I am picky and choosy in a way. :)
We paid for Php 735 each, with unlimited drinks. We were offered their privilege card for Php 600 + and was given 10% discount since we charged it on my friend's credit card. They are offering 15% discount if you pay for cash. :) I am not sure of their price ranges but you can check it out here.
By the way, we initially placed a reservation for 12 persons. So we reserved 3 tables. 3 of our friends did not arrive as planned so we ended up as 9 persons.I was so worried because they billed us good for 12 persons. I thought we would need to argue with the manager but was surprised because they just reprinted the receipt with our desired head count. I was amazed and I honestly didn't expect that. Great customer service indeed! :)
Overall, it was a happy experience. I would definitely recommend this place. And I will maybe try other buffets more often. Here's a look of our happy faces:
It was super fun! Lots of chikahan with amazing food experience! :)
