Kuroma Buffet & Dining - Unlimited sashimi, A5 wagyu under RM200 (S$60)

Located in TD Central, Taman Daya, this premium Japanese buffet has been quietly building a reputation since 2021 as Johor's answer to Singapore's high-end Japanese dining scene - but at a fraction of the cost.

At RM175++ (approximately S$52++) for their weekend dinner buffet, you're getting access to an impressive spread that includes unlimited sashimi, fresh oysters, and teppanyaki that would easily cost triple in Singapore.

What Sets Kuroma Apart From Other JB Buffets

While JB has no shortage of buffet options, Kuroma distinguishes itself through quality ingredients that rival Singapore's premium establishments. Founded as Johor's first premium Japanese buffet, they've maintained consistently high standards that keep both locals and cross-border diners coming back.

The Seafood Selection That Justifies The Trip

Fresh Oysters Station

The standout feature that has food bloggers talking. These aren't your typical buffet oysters - they're plump, fresh, and sizeable. Multiple reviewers describe them as "the highlight" of their dining experience, with quality that exceeds expectations for a S$50 buffet.

Unlimited Sashimi Bar

• Salmon sashimi (thick, buttery cuts)

• Tuna sashimi (deep red and fresh)

• Yellowtail (sweet and delicate)

• Assorted nigiri sushi

Premium Seafood on Ice

• Succulent abalone

• Alaskan crab legs

• Tiger prawns

• Fresh mussels

• Scallops

Live Teppanyaki Station

Professional chefs prepare fresh seafood and premium cuts right before your eyes. The theatrical presentation adds entertainment value while ensuring everything arrives piping hot - a level of service typically reserved for much pricier establishments.

A5 Kagoshima Wagyu Option 

For an additional RM23++ (total RM198++), upgrade to include A5 Kagoshima Wagyu steak - a luxury that would typically cost more than the entire buffet price elsewhere.

Beyond Seafood: The Complete Japanese Experience

Hot Food Selection:

• Gyoza (pan-fried dumplings)

• Chicken karage

• Lamb rack

• Kimchi fried rice

• Aglio olio pasta

• Yaki soba noodles

• Tempura station

The variety ensures every diner finds something appealing, catering to both traditional Japanese food enthusiasts and those seeking fusion options.
