Came across a reasonably priced ala carte buffet with GREAT reviews from hungrygowhere. Got all excited and informed a group of my friends that we were be heading there to celebrate their bdae. To my disappointment, the hibiki at cuppage was under renovation! No wonder no1 answers my call when I called up to make reservations.. :(. Its other branch at Singapore Flyer had rather bad reviews but we stuck to it and decided to head to the one at singapore flyer.
SingaporeFlyer has mixed reviews:

This was the ala carte buffet that we tried out. Not much variety but if the food is really good, variety is not a big issue. Unfortunately, like the reviews, the food was generally disappointing, at least to me and my husband.
The buffet doesnt comes with drink. But you can order free flow of brown rice green tea at $5 per pax. Pricey!
The sashimi was generally fresh and thick slices. Nothing much to complain. I did enjoyed the raw ebi. So sweet!!
Prawn tempura.. one word.. BAD! It was not crispy..the prawns has no taste.
Teppanyaki beef. Tender beef fried with loads of garlic. Not bad.
Tempura mushroom. Din try. Believe it was quite decent.
The teppanyaki prawns was really good.
No complains of its teppanyaki items.
Din had this. Cant comment. :p
According to the reviews, the cuppage terrace branch is known for its great sumiyaki which i think is charcoal grilled stick items. I wonder what is the difference from the name of kushiyaki which is known as japanese satay. Anyway, to me.. they are known as 串烧. Being lovers of kushingin and kazu at cuppage plaza, the sumiyaki served here was a HUGE disaappointment for 2 of us. We tried Shin Kushiya once at vivo and did not love it that much as many pple do. After what we had here, i think what we had at shin kushiya was pretty good. Its branch at cuppage plaza could be much much better since it is highly raved in the reviews.
The meatballs was not well-received from the group.
Look how unevenly sized the asparagus are! Presentation fail!
half boiled egg in some cold sweet soup. interestingly it was pretty good.
sushis were decent. No complains either! :)
so were the temakis!
Agedashi tofu. Normal too. No complains either.
Pomelo Jelly! The only dessert! Pretty cheapsake! But i love it! Refreshing!
Edamame. Steamed instead of the usual cold one. :)
The birthday cake from swissbake! Chocolate Fudge! Pretty good!
Went to Fish Spa for the first time that night too! Buffet time for the fishes! Bet they had a better meal than me. :p
