2-in-1 buffet at Hotel Nikko KL
Have you ever faced with a situation where you and your partner/friend crave to eat different things at the same time such that you can’t come to an agreeable decision? Saucer and I were debating just the other day as he was looking for sashimi and I was craving for roasted duck! In the end, we called Sidney up and he recommended just the perfect place for us! Hotel Nikko, which is currently offering a sumptuous 2-in-1 buffet with Japanese and Chinese cuisine is the answer to our calling. 
Hotel Nikko 2-in-1 buffet menu
Hotel Nikko’s buffet takes place at 2 restaurants, which means we can sit at either Benkay Japanese restaurant or Toh Lee Chinese restaurant. Did you know that Benkay Japanese Restaurant was named after a historic Japanese warrior who was strong, courageous and loyal during the war period in Japan? It is also a well-known name for Japanese Restaurants in Japan offering traditional and excellent quality of authentic Japanese food, which represents Hotel Nikko’s mission precisely .
Dining area of Benkay restaurant
Its entrance gives a warm welcome reception area, and I couldn’t help but notice the Sake chiller on the right side, allowing diners the opportunity to select choices of Japanese alcoholic beverages and house pouring wine.

Walking inside the dining area, I observed a beautiful landscaped garden and waterfall, giving diners like us a serene feeling while enjoying authentic Japanese cuisine.

Without further ado, Saucer and I took our seats at Benkay and walked around the buffet spread to capture the multitude of dishes offered.
Appetizers
Salad bar
Lotus chips
Edamame
Assorted Sashimi
When Saucer saw the sashimi area, I could almost hear his squeal of excitement! The slices of raw fish were prepared right in front of our very eyes and they were all so fresh! Upon checking with the chef, we found out that 90% of the seafood at Benkay are imported twice weekly from Japan! Oh my! Any fresher, you’ll have to catch the salmon yourself! *LOL*
Salmon
Butter fish
Yellowtail
Tuna
Even I couldn’t help from having a few pieces of sashimi myself for they looked too tempting.
My first plate!
Assorted Sushi
The variety of sushi was so huge, you will definitely be spoiled for choice.
Squid, surf clam, scallop and tuna sushi
Salmon, yellowtail and butter fish sushi
Sushi Roll
For sushi rolls, my all-time favourite is definitely soft-shelled crab so I laughed excitedly when I saw such a big tray of that on the sushi bar!
Soft shell crab, California roll and prawn tempura rolls
Unagi, Jumbo and tuna mayonnaise roll
Seafood on Ice
In between Benkay and Toh Lee restaurants, there was a huge spread of seafood on ice, complete with an ice sculpture. Such a beautiful and inviting sculpture of a fish.

Chucked oyster, poached tiger prawn and mussels
Tabasco for seasoning
Teppanyaki
Deep inside Benkay restaurant, there lies the Teppanyaki room complete with a full-fledged Teppanyaki counter. Check out the thick slices of beef and the large amount of fresh prawns,at your service.
