For my birthday, a friend decided to treat me to a nice buffet lunch because we'd get to eat all that we want for the same price. We decided on Zipangu because it has gotten raved reviews for it's quality and Japanese food which is something we really enjoy. So it wasn't really a surprise that the place was quite filled with people considering that we went on the weekend. There were several families and also many other tables occupied but we got a nice quiet corner by the window. I gotta say tha

Zipangu is famous for its Japenese buffet, served quality seafood and sahimi. The succulent juicy oyster are fresh and you will be walloping one by one into the mouth if you are an oyster lover. Much of variety and love the fresh prawn too. Sashimi is sweet and nice, love its Salmon. You cant find a lot if fancy sushi roll, but you will get lots and lots of mouthwatering desserts. Give this a YES!

Definitely one of KL's most alluring Japanese restaurants. The sashimi seemed super-fresh, though the selection was run-of-the-mill. Marinated crab organs with shredded crab meat. Can't go wrong with most of the seafood here; the crab tasted like it might have been in the ocean only hours before this. Pot-au-feu with pan-fried foie gras, eel & winter melon. A perennial favorite; too bad the portion seems much punier than what it used to be several years ago. Braised beef. Not as tender as it co

Definitely one of KL's most alluring Japanese restaurants. Conger eel fritters with cheese salad. A letdown; the fritters contained more batter than eel, while the cheese was served as cold, stiff slices. Steamed clams in sake. Meaty and well-prepared, but basically forgettable. Grilled barracuda. Not too fishy-tasting, but not outstanding either. Soy bean soup with crab in stone pot. Would have loved it if the crab meat had been ripped out of the shell beforehand, but it was still tasty enoug

tempuraThis is the tempura vegetables.This tempura vegetables consists of brinjal,lady fingers and mixed vegetables.I like the brinjal very much.The brinjal is so fresh and soft.The batter of the tempura is quite thick and crispy.The whole brinjal is fully covered by the batter and fried to a perfect crispyness.The lady fingers i not really like it.Maybe it's because i don't really like lady fingers.

One of the items in the lunch buffet is the Mango Pudding. The pudding is really smooth and so rich with mango taste. It was served in a wine glass and decorated with chocolate ganache which is crispy. There was a milky texture and the sweetness is really natural from the fruit. Since it is also light, I could finish 2 glasses without feeling heavy, this is one of the best pudding I tasted. Highly recommended.

Went to Zipangu and tried their fruit sushi which was really fruit pieces on sushi rice. Quaint idea and very creative, looks good too.I tried the strawberry, mango and lychee ones. Strawberry on rice makes an odd but strangely good combination, sweet and tasting the aromatic rice as well and sourish on some strawberries. Worth trying.While the mango and lychee versions is my favourite as the mango was sweet and fresh and juice from the fruit flows and mixes with the rice which sticks togethe

Although they served less variety than elsewhere but in terms of quality food, it is certainly there and up to the standard. We have seen a mixture of diners such as friends, families and elderly as well. Like the spacious restaurant which have open dining area and quite a number of private rooms as well.All of us had couple of rounds of the soft shell crab hand-rolled or known as California roll. The California roll has other ingredients such as fish roes, crab stick and veg. The fresh seaw

Had a few rounds for the chawanmushi, sashimi and sukiyaki, there are not in the picture as we were busy eating. All were good except that of limited seafood for us to enjoy. Managed to take this beautiful, presentable and delicious dessert which was Mango pudding. The portion was small hence, I had a few rounds of it as well. To me, the pudding it was like more of blended mango flesh instead as I felt it was so much of the mango flesh.

According to Shangri-la homepage, it described Zipangu represents perfect harmony between contemporary design and authentic cuisine. The city's most avant-garde restaurant, Zipangu features a walk-in wine and sake cellar, individual sushi, grill and kappou counters as well as private and a-la-carte dining areas.Me and my friends had our lunch buffet at Zipangu one fine day and I still remember that was just after the natural disaster in Japan. In fact, it was my first visit. I personally find

The buffet lunch at Zipangu is highly recommended. The variety of food was good and quality of food fresh.I am reviewing the desserts which is always my favourite. And Zipangu does it especially well. The desserts not only looks great but taste great too. The cost is above average but there was a promotion of 50% discount and we took the opportunity to try it out. We did not regret it.
