Japan's Most Relaxing Buffet | Buffet Dining in Solitude in Sapporo

[@lburgess63]

I love the small tasting compartments. Just a bite of each, so you can try many things, without jamming it all together on a plate, and getting it mixed up. And the unlimited time, because I'm an incredibly slow eater-- I love to really appreciate my food! As always, a wonderful vid!

[@tronforce3894]

Most people say "I hope you're doing well" but Tim actually means it when he says it.

The $35 buffet is amazing, can you imagine the cost of that buffet in Vegas?

[@alisonrobinson3253]

I don't usually like watching people eat but you are great. I'm trying to think if I've ever had a Japanese buffet. I've had all-you-can-eat, where you order from a list. I've also had sushi off a conveyor belt "river". There used to be one on Davie St in Vancouver but it's closed down. Also used to be one in Coquitlam and in Metrotown called Sui Sha Ya (?). Both gone now too. I miss them. My Dad took my kids and me to the one downtown and it was so much fun for the kids. My Dad asked the chef for my daughter's favourite, ikura, but every time it came around someone else would grab it! The chef finally just handed it to her.

[@TimLeeLetsGo]

It’s absolutely wonderful that great memories are shared eating together😀

[@Lucybell783]

Tim, you are one of the KINDEST people. Your videos are such a joy to watch - interesting places, great food and the people who make that all happen. Thank you for highlighting them.

[@TimLeeLetsGo]

Thank you so much for your kind comment. It is a lot of fun to get to visit and share in these places here. Thank you again 🙂

[@MikePhoTravelVlogs]

Agree 💯💯💯💯

[@Jan96106]

That looks like burgundy wine. I would love a glass of that right now. The food looks beautiful. I'd have taken more little containers of that beef. (Also, I like okra, especially in gumbo.)

[@normanh4905]

I like how Tim can be absolutely kind and amiable, such as toward restaurant staff, and then how he can be absolutely brutal such as toward the okra (“good riddance”) at 17:54 and the sweet potato dessert thing at 22:27 (shaking his head and emphatically saying “no”) hahaa

[@TimLeeLetsGo]

It's still hard to get used to the taste of okra.. 😉

[@xc7525]

He calls it like he sees it 😎😎

[@kathleenmunoz4465]

I like the tray idea and small plates. Everything looks delicious.

[@TimLeeLetsGo]

I like it too! Each dish is well prepared with a few components...very different than the traditional self serve from a platter 😀

My wife and I have been to Japan 20+ times in the last 15 years and have not had a buffet (other than at our hotels) but after watching your video it is time to try one.

It sounds such an amazing experience to go to Japan so often. Really beautiful country. The buffets are quite a fun experience as well.😀

[@nateshf9303]

@@TimLeeLetsGo First time I went was by myself back in college and have traveled up and down Japan extensively with my wife/family during cherry blossom season. We’ve also been to most of the major summer firework festivals several times. When it comes to choosing where to spend our hard earn dollars, Japan/Asia is our #1 choice.

Finally, a buffet without a time limit in Japan! I'm a slow eater, so I don't think I would be able to handle the one you went to with the 70 minute time limit. 😊 I hope you will share a video from your ferry ride. I've seen others, and the buffets they offer look really good.

[@jeffl8549]

Wow, what beautiful plates. What a perfect buffet for Japanese food lovers! A buffet - and yet quality over quantity!

[@TimLeeLetsGo]

It was quite a nice experience. I found that not having a large tray of food means that the plated dishes can have multiple components like an a la carte order. 😋

[@rodw4057]

Amazing the dishes dont slide on the tray! Cool!

What a nice buffet, everything looks fresh and delicious and the price is so reasonable. As a single person I liked your seat, it was private and had a pretty view of outside. And the best part was----no time limit, you didn't feel under the gun and have to go like crazy to eat, so much better for the digestion.

There was a sense of privacy at those tables, and they also have private rooms where large parties can eat together. Very enjoyable and appreciate being able to take the time to enjoy the food 😋

If you ever visit authentic Chinese restaurants in Toronto, I'd love to tag along with you. I used to go every week when I lived there. My last visit to Toronto had me perplexed because my favourite restaurants had all disappeared 😢
