We find Himawari Japanese Restaurant to be a strong contender for a Japanese buffet, particularly noted for its generous and fresh sashimi.
The buffet, priced around $53-60++, offers a wide selection beyond sashimi, including unagi, chicken katsu donburi, tempura, and various sushi and maki.
Service is consistently praised for being friendly and prompt, with dishes arriving quickly.
While the buffet provides good value, especially for sashimi lovers, some diners suggest that the a la carte menu might be better for those seeking more premium ingredients like salmon belly or snow crab, as the buffet can lean heavily on rice and flour-based items.
The grilled fish head has been noted as occasionally overcooked.
We recommend making a reservation, especially for weekend dinners or special occasions, as the restaurant fills up quickly after opening.
Overall, it's a reliable choice for a satisfying Japanese feast, particularly if you prioritise fresh, thick-cut sashimi and efficient service.
