Ever since we've discovered (rather late) about this branch of Sakura buffet at Balestier Shaw Plaza, we've been going to this branch.
This place is bigger, has better ventilation and slightly better food, especially the cooked food section, but their chairs are all the same, i.e. wooden stools.
We were there last Sat, after a massive cleaning up at home. There was a huge mess caused by the installation of the new aircon system, with lots of loose cement powder and concrete from all that drilling. We were so tired and famished afterwards that we thought we deserved a good meal (or just a lame excuse to eat)!
I was too busy and didn't take photos; these are from an earlier visit
Roast duck, oatmeal prawns (麦片虾), baked salmon, baked scallop & breaded oyster
Sashimi platter & sushi, etc.
Durian puff, eclair and mentaiko prawn
"Mentaiko" refers to the sweet orange paste and the name tickles me no end - think of men tiok tai ko (in Hokkien) and you'll understand. :p
On a separate day, we had lunch at Yuki Sushi Village (or something like that...?)
Conveyor belt sushi
Most things are priced at 99 cents, except for items on criss-crossed patterned plate which is $2.99
Some lobster thingy
The hand-rolled sushi are also $2.99 each
Quality-wise, the food is averagely acceptable, and I didn't expect the salmon roe to match those at better (and more expensive) Japanese restaurants. It's not bad a place for a quick and cheap sushi meal.

Japanese buffet are value for money, so many varities.
The best strategy is to try each bit by bit.
Even eating bit by bit, there's no way we can try every dish and dessert.
After the buffet, need to go on a sort of diet or exercise extra for the next few days!
