Izu Yasaimaru Japanese Yī Dòu Yě Cài Cūn

Dreaming about this feast @izuvillage Japanese hot pot buffet heaven right here in the middle of Sydney CBD my favourite was the sushi platters and the fish tofus (cheese, mochi) the premium wagyu beef and sashimi platter were also pretty wowee Next time you're in the city, you know where to go!<br/ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀<br/ fun fact: I don't actually eat sashimi do you guys?

High quality Japanese buffet with good atmosphere, the foods are delicious and the most important thing is you can eat AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE!!!

With an all-you-can-eat menu and high quality sides including a welcome sashimi platter and a range of sushi roll options, how can you say no! Hot pot does not judge, spend your 90 minutes filling yourself with hot pot meats and veggies and finish off with some small bites for dessert! Izu's portion sizes are perfect for just that one or two bites more with your hot pot or just for a small sweet to finish.

Hot weather doesn’t stop me from hotpot. I was here with a group of friends for a sukiyaki feast and since it’s an all you can eat, some of us did the ordering while the others grabbed vegetables, mushrooms and different kinds of fish balls from buffet area to maximise the amount of eating time. <br/ <br/ We had sukiyaki and tomato soup base. Sukiyaki was pleasantly sweet and slightly salty without being overpowering. The tomato broth is forgettable and not flavourful enough. <br/ <br/ Each table will be served a sashimi platter, with the size depending on the number of customers. Everything was pretty fresh and it made a great appetizer. Their tender and fatty beef was nicely sliced and presented in a box-like container. It was really tasty after coated with sukiyaki broth. We had a mini sushi platter as well but it was just average to me. The fillings were mostly vegetables and cooked ingredients. We had potato salad, seaweed salad, soft boiled eggs, udon and ramen as well and they were of good quality. Make sure you try out those fish balls stuffed with mochi, cheese and mentaiko cheese as they are rarely seen in other restaurants. <br/ <br/ To my surprise, Izu village also offer desserts like creme brûlée, panna cotta, ice cream and shaved ice. Have to say it has more options than most Japanese restaurants in Sydney. My favourite were creme brûlée and matcha ice cream. They were also served in petite size so you can get a taste of every item. <br/ <br/ Overall food quality was great and wait staff were very attentive. They could probably include a better variety of vegetables, meat and fish balls with this price tag.

We ordered Sashimi, lots of lamb, wagyu beef chuck shoulder and wagyu beef chuck roll with Sukiyaki and Collagen Soybean milk pot, and some sides.<br <br Quality of meat was perfect, sashimi was also good but I noticed they don't serve scampi anymore. No need to fill you tummy with sushi rolls.<br <br Price performance ratio is very high.<br Only thing is the staff might not explain when they present the dish to the table.<br <br Would go back here again.
