WAFU - A Japanese ALL YOU CAN EAT Premium meat Buffet

It's funny how just a little while ago I wrote about changing my diet and now Im writing a review for an all you can eat buffet at a pretty popular Japanese restaurant here in the Philippines.

Just a disclaimer - I ate at this restaurant before starting my new diet. I also don't intend to completely stop enjoying food and indulging once in a while. Life is about experiences, and good food (in moderation) is an experience.

WAFU - A Japanese restaurant in the popular Greenhills shopping center (a place where you can buy just about anything including pearls, electronics, knock-off designer products, and pirated DVDs/Movies.) The restaurant offers wide varieties of Japanese dishes from Teppanyaki, Sushi, Bowls and Steaks.

During this visit, we decided to try their all you can eat buffet on the 2nd floor, which included soup, rice, and various choices of premium meat, seafood, vegetables, sushi, and other scrumptious delights for your tummy all of which is cooked to your liking right in front of you. The damage for such a buffet, 1200 PHP (equivalent to about $30 USD).

Below is a menu of unlimited items we could order until we could eat no more.

The ambiance of the restaurant is warm, cozy, and very welcoming - decorated in a modern japanese style. Generally I'm not a buffet person and I never eat enough to maximize the amount I pay, but this restaurant came highly recommended because of the quality food and ingredients they use.

The Chef we were assigned started by introducing himself and the various items on the menu shown above. He went through the various oils, spices, and ingredients he would be using as well as identifying to us the various proteins, vegetables, and seafood we had selected off of the menu to start with.

Once done, he set the table aflame to disinfect and clean it. Quiet a way to warm up the party - literally. He asked how we wanted everything cooked and along the way also recommended sauces that would go well with each of the dishes. It was an enjoyment alone to watch him cook and prepare our food, portioning it for each of us as he completed cooking each dish.

I must say, I did a pretty good job keeping up with the Chef as he cooked each portion of our meal. I could not however order a second round. I was completely full. Not only were we eating everything the chef was preparing, we were also eating the sushi and tempura that was being prepared and brought out to us.

For those who love Japanese food, good conversation, a warm and welcoming environment, and an unlimited supply of all of it, I would highly recommend visiting WAFU. I would also recommend Chef Josel who was a great host who prepared us a great tasting and filling meal.

Below is a short video of our experience. Enjoy!!
