ROCKU Yakiniku @ 1 Utama

1st time visit and we will definitely come back again for sure! The top up RM5 upgrade to Angus beef is definitely a great deal! Cool place and surprisingly the quality of side dishes is good quality good ! Too busy enjoy the food and take the last photo after the big feast ! 😆

We really enjoy going to buffets, but we don’t expect every dish to be great. We like to try a little bit of everything and then keep ordering the most delicious dish. However, at this place, it’s hard to decide what the “most delicious” dish was. We ordered and tasted a variety of things, but none were memorable or worth ordering again. The beef was tough and dry, and the gochujang pork belly—well, it was all fat with no lean meat, causing a flare-up on the grill as soon as we put it on. If I had to pick something, the chocolate ice cream and the marshmallows we grilled at the end were not bad. Today was our last visit to this place.

If there’s anything special about the atmosphere of this restaurant, it would be the live band. However, they only sang Chinese songs and, for people who don’t understand the Chinese language, might not enjoy it as much. The volume was also loud enough to make it hard to have a conversation with the people I was dining with. Personally, I would have preferred soft background music instead.

182rm for 2 pax. At this price point, it would be much better to go to a Japanese seafood buffet that offers tastier food with a similar price range. Also, charging separately for drinks at a buffet restaurant wasn’t very appealing.

Compared to other buffet restaurants where the staff quickly clear empty plates on their own, here we had to press a bell to call the staff every time to clear them, which was a bit inconvenient. Still, it’s nice that they at least had a bell.
