Finding this restaurant was challenging as it’s located in a hidden area within a quiet mall on Level 12. Making a reservation in advance is highly recommended. We called the night before, and the available slots were already very limited. Upon arrival, our names were displayed on a board, signalling that walk-ins were not entertained due to a fully booked waiting list. 🙇‍♀️ Upon Arrival We opted for the all-you-can-eat crab buffet for 90 minutes, priced at 10,000 yen. The experience was unique for us, as we’d never had such a variety of crabs or learned how to eat them properly before. Thankfully, the staff provided a brief demonstration on how to dissect the crab to extract the flesh upon request. However, they only demonstrated once, which is reasonable given the time-limited nature of the buffet. 🍱 During the Meal We had three types of crabs: Snow Crab, Alaskan King Crab, and Hairy Crab, alongside sides like chawanmushi (with snow crab), crab sushi, and tempura shrimp. 🦀🌟Snow Crab: Our favourite. The meat was sweet, tender, and easy to pull out. Its shell wasn’t too sharp, making it the easiest to handle. 🦀 Alaskan King Crab: Juicy and fleshy, but very challenging to peel due to its sharp spikes. It paired wonderfully with their red vinegar. 🦀 Hairy Crab: Our least favourite. The flesh was bland and needed soy sauce for flavour. The hairiness of the shell was off-putting, but the highlight was the hairy crab roe, which stood out in taste. Despite the delicious variety, the process of peeling the crabs was time-consuming and physically taxing, especially since we’re not skilled at it. ⏲️ Time Limit The 90-minute time limit felt too short, especially for those unfamiliar with peeling crabs. The last order was taken 20 minutes before the session ended, and we had to stop eating once the time was up. We only managed two rounds of refills, as much of our time was spent peeling, and you have to finish the item before requesting the refill to prevent wastage. By the end, our hands were sore from the effort. 🫡 Post-Meal Thoughts While the buffet offers excellent value for those who love crab and are skilled at peeling, the experience was somewhat mediocre for us. The hurried pace left us feeling unsure about the meal, and spending 10,000 yen for what felt like rushed dining wasn’t as satisfying as we’d hoped. Additionally, the staff’s watchful eyes made us slightly uncomfortable, adding to the pressure. 🌟 Conclusion This buffet is best suited for seasoned crab lovers who enjoy the process of peeling and savouring large quantities of fresh crab. For us, the experience fell short, but it might be different for locals or regulars who are more accustomed to the setting and pace.

The food tastes surprisingly good for its price! Our meal was a 120-minute set that included crab. It was surprising to find that the waitress, who speaks Cantonese, skillfully served us everything, which ranged from lighter to heavier dishes.

Went for the all-you-can-eat crabs at 10,000 jpy per person. The first serve was 10/10, very fresh, and enjoyed it a lot. But dont be fooled as the succeeding crabs were no where close to the first one. Very bad to the point that you'd know from its smell. Complained to the staff but they said all are the same. Left the restaurant after 4th order as I felt like forcing myself to eat urinated crab hoping the next batch is going to improve. Recommend to stay away.

Surprisingly good tasting food for its value! We ordered a crab course meal and they served us efficiently and everything was delicious starting from lighter dishes to fuller ones. One thing they can improve is their service. We were there at around 5:30 pm. There was only another table with 2 customers (basically it's not that busy yet) 5 servers were standing at the front basically doing nothing... Just standing! They could've refilled our glasses or clean up the dishes. They eventually did but we had to call them more than a couple times.

First of all, I would like to say the staffs were very polite. Although they can only speak little English, they try to understand and explain. Based on review the Japanese menu has this 3500yen course but I check with the staff it don’t come with crab. So with 2 adults and 2 teenagers we ordered 2 sets of 4500yen course and add 2 king crab legs, 2 chawanmushi and rice porridge with crab. We were too full when the sushi and tempura came. Unless u really want to go for more crab then go for buffet. If not the course allow u to try other dishes that they prepare with crab. As for direction, alight at Susukino station, exit 2. Walk straight and u will reach F-45 building 5-8mins. Go to level 12.
