DAIDOMON Japanese BBQ Restaurant @ Great Eastern Mall

If you have bored on Jogoya, Tenji, House of Buffet (previously Yaki Yaki), Seoul Garden etc, why not give a try to Daidomon Japanese BBQ buffet located at the Great Eastern Mall, Jalan Ampang.


Suk Yen, Voon Kwan (VK), Evelyn and Mei Chu (Chu)


At the main entrance




Now, lets check to their menu. Daidomon Washoku and Yakiniku buffet? Any one know whats this superb name stand for? Inside this menu is the fresh foods which are made upon ordering. You can make any order from this menu UNLIMITED.


Sashimi and beef sashimi. Japanese food lovers will be delighted by these sashimi but as for me, small portion is just enough for me as I don't really eat raw foods.


Sushi. Usually, I will order the sushi and remove the ice as the rice will make me full. xD. From this menu, we can learn a lot basic Japanese sushi name. Let's practice:
  1. Shake = salmon
  2. Ebi = prawn
  3. Tako = octopus
  4. Tamago = sweet egg
  5. Inari = sweet bean curd
  6. Unagi = roasted eel
  7. Kani = crab meat
Get it? previously, I only know chawanmushi which stands for egg custard in a tea bowl.


Check out their special dishes such as Dachou (boneless ostrich meat), lamp nakaochi (lamb intercostal) etc.


Sausages and seafood.


Vegetables


The limitations of this buffer is that their ice cream wasn't as 'branded' as other places which uses Baskin Robbins, Haagen Dazz etc. However, it wasn't really a big deal as you have sufficient supply of this ice cream and no need to queue up long for the ice cream.


You will be given Hotate (scallops) and Kaki Butter (Oyster with butter) each per person for the first servings only. 



Enjoying the precious scallops and oyster.

Photos time~


Crazy and fanatic people!





The area here is quite big and spacious. There are private rooms, segregated area and open area.








This 'feng shui ball' is located at the entrance at the waiting area.


Antique standing clock for sale.


Top: This golden lady is up for grab for RM 299.
Bottom left: This big vase is very cheap, RM 28,980 ONLY!!


There are quite many 'things' to play at the waiting area. But, be cautious, all these are antique!


Overall, for the price of RM 63 nett for a dinner buffet, the price is reasonable. I would say there are not many varieties of food compared to Tenji as well as the dessert, but the price wise is of course cheaper.

I would say not many people aware of this buffet restaurant. The number of customers here wouldn't be as crowded as other buffet restaurants (except House of Buffet). Thus, you will enjoy the privacy and ease of dining.

For dinner buffet (Fridays, weekends and public holidays) - the one I had
Price per person          : RM 53.90
Miscellaneous charge: RM 1.00
Service charge            : 10% @ 5.39
Tax                                 : 5% @ 2.70
Total                              : RM 62.99

If you want for a cheaper rate, dine in from Mondays to Thursdays. It's RM 10 cheaper at RM 43.90 ++ per person. (Please note that the price stated here was months ago and a recent check at time or writing, the price had increment of RM 2).

For parking, you may park at inside the Great Eastern Mall. The rate is based on per hours but after 6 or 7 pm, it is fixed rate.

  2. no idea what the other words are but yakiniku means grilled beef or meat... something along that line.

    i'm much more well-versed with sushi names tho, haha. and i suppose going to this place won't be very worth it for me since i can't eat a lot in one seating... the spread looks great though
