Kuroma Buffet & Dining offers a large selection of sushi and sashimi. You’ve got fresh slices of salmon, tuna, yellowtail and more, along with beautifully wrapped maki. But that isn’t where the Japanese influences end—you can head over to the teppanyaki station to get all sorts of grilled treats.

We also hear that the oysters are excellent. Fresh, plump, and sizeable, these oysters are said to exceed what you’d expect from a buffet that costs around $50.

There are also plenty of hot dishes for you to check out here. Those looking for noodles to complement their seafood can drop by the ramen bar, where you can get dishes such as miso ramen, tom yum ramen, and even Penang laksa. For fried eats, drop by the tempura station to get some prawn, squid, or chicken stripe tempura.

Do ensure you’ve made a reservation before heading down—you probably don’t want to wait too long when you’ve travelled all the way to JB!
