6 ALL YOU CAN EAT Buffets for UNDER $8 in Tokyo Japan

Hi guys, I'm Mike Chen here in Melbourne, Australia, about to head to the local Chinatown for breakfast, lunch and dinner. I'm really excited about it and before I watch this video about some of the best value

buffets

I found in Tokyo, I just want to say a big thank you and a shout out to the sponsor of this video Surf Shark VPN that I've been talking about and using Surf Shar VPN for several years and if you are not currently using a VPN service, I highly recommend you do so and browse. Shar VPN is probably one of the only apps that I still run on my phone, my laptop, 24 hours a day and the reason I do that is because of course nowadays a lot of our personal information is on line and there are people trying to gain access to it. time sometimes like data aggregators trying to get your personal information to sell to marketing companies or there are more malicious people trying to gain access to something like your email.

I'm sure we've all had this happen where you could be messaging or texting. or talking to friends or family about something and suddenly an ad for what you're talking about or anything that's related to what you're talking about starts showing up everywhere and that's just one example of people getting access to your personal information. So what Surfar VPN does is encrypt and protect your personal information before it goes to the Internet, so that people you really don't want to have access to your private information won't have access to it either if someone tries. to get access to something like your email, surf shark has something called surf shark alerts, so you'll get notified right away.

That's why I keep running all the time. It's super fast. It just runs in the background. I don't even notice and it appears. Peace of mind for less than a cup of coffee a day is also very useful when you travel, especially when you travel abroad, for example, the movies and TV shows on Netflix are always different wherever you go in the world, so if you don't No I want to miss your favorite movies or TV shows. What I do is use Search VPN to change my location to the US so I don't miss my favorite TV shows.

Another reason why it is so useful is that when you are trying to get access to certain American websites, for example, even major banks, large corporations, many times these websites do not work properly when you try to get access to your account. from abroad so just to pay my bills I use a search VPN for that. so if you want to try it, go to my link below, use my promo code Dum playay and you will get 3 extra months free. Okay, I'll go to Chinatown and you'll enjoy the video. Hello guys, that's right. Mike Chin here in Tokyo, Japan Tokyo is, of course, a city famous for its vibrant food sinks, from Michelin-starred restaurants to street food stalls and the local 7-Eleven, and today we're going to visit some food places that Not only are they delicious but it's also going to be wallet friendly and all you can eat first.

I'm here in Shimbashi, this is a great area to eat and I see there are a lot of Chinese food restaurants around here and the place we go to. I think it's this one here I think it's no, I passed it, this one is here, so you turn the corner and this is how you get there, this restaurant is really interesting, there's a couple of cabbages outside, oh okaki place, and here it is all. You can eat a Chinese buffet for 1,000 yen, so about 650 just open up and already line up before you even take a bite.

I think I love this place, there are many classic Citron dishes like map tofu, double cooked pork, there are spicy beef and peppers, spicy dried tofu. MTO there are also fried rice soups Pig trods low men, all you can eat for about six dollars, let's try them with tofu first, spicy, delicious, very tasty, try the delicious fermented beans, not a bad mpu. I haven't had a flower roll for so long, put it in the M PO vad it's really good, very soft and fluffy, it tastes pretty authentic, flower roll, double cooked pork, this thing is better than tofu map , giant chunks of pork, some chunks are nice, fatty, it's very spicy and sweet. and sour shrimp not bad W this, I really like it, it's basically stir-fried potato slices, these things are fried first so they get a really nice, crispy outer layer and then they're stir-fried like you would a meat with cumin or cumin.

Then you see that all the cumin is on the outside, it's crunchy, it's very cuminous and smoky. I'm just trying each dish and seeing what I'm going to eat more of next, man mo is phenomenal, just a big helping of flavor and gu that hits you in the face well another one is one of my favorite dishes shredded beef with peppers they serve here no there's a lot of meat there the meat is expensive that's also good the skin is also very good the dishes that are supposed to be are spicy, they don't skimp on the heat, you have soup here, the soup is very light, a little tofu, some seaweed and tea is included, oh I forgot, I bought a piece of fried chicken, not that very cute stuff, Grace Pig TRS, I have it often.

I talked about my love for pork TRS and this in particular has great flavor and texture while I'm sitting here talking and eating my food all I want to do is go up and get more low mayo pork and double cooked or those. potatoes I think those three things are my favorite things on this buffet, all of them are just Absolute Comfort for me six dollars for all you can eat Comfort fruit, this is a great deal, on the second round I bought more Ling Tofu Stir-Fried Potatoes and double cooking. the pork I can't believe they cost less than a Big Mac and finish everything with a little almond pudding and everything is local here too.

What a gem of a buffet. Good morning, the next buffet I will go to is the hotel buffet. I am staying at the Daa Royet hotel. This is a very typical breakfast buffet in a small budget hotel here in Japan. You have some western items for breakfast, like toast, cereal salad and some pastries. There are scrambled eggs. There is ham. What I really like are Japanese breakfast products. So for me, I come here early in the morning, there's macro, so some fish, some CER rice, some scrambled eggs, that's a pretty good breakfast for me. Fish and cured.

Rice that is good wherever you go. What I have been eating a lot the last few days is their meat and potatoes, that is what I like the most here, what I do is put the potatoes in the curry, in fact, I take a spoon, scrambled eggs in Japan are things of the next level, they're usually really really sticky like the one here, it's so good and this breakfast on today's. the conversion is about $6 us if you stay at this hotel which is a nice clean hotel the room is a bit small it's only about $60 a night and you get a pretty decent breakfast you can eat go do exercise and prepare a long day of food beforehand.

For me, the next buffet I'm at is inside the apaa hotel in Shinjuku, it's not a huge buffet but it's not most of the classics, in the first round I bought Cy rice. I bought a cette that looks like a fried bun. I think there is Korean fried chicken. Hurg steak miso meat sauce which I think I should have put over rice and pasta. I love curry rice. I know they probably didn't make this curry at home, but Japanese curry is one of my favorite things in the world, I don't think. I've taken a bad bite, it's smoky, it's spicy, it's got some stolen chillies in there, I just felt it in my throat, super rich and thick, a little bit of tomato, we chase it with a CET which is a beautiful crunch inside, nice and pillow actually this is KATU fish not pork every fried item is such a nice crunch I'm so dumb I saw the machine said cocoa IC for some reason in my head I thought it meant Coca-Cola it's chocolate I mean it's delicious hot chocolate with ice oh That hamburger steak is so good, really tender and juicy, who pairs it with some pasta?

Not bad, tastes like a high school cafeteria fried dumpling, not bad, the skin is very thin on the bottom, a little thicker on the top, you put a huge meat on it. I fill this dumpling with my miso meat sauce because why not, oh miso, my sauce is so good. I think the increase is going to be spectacular in the second round, so at this place you can also order wudong and what they do is cook the wudong. For you, you can make it three different ways, one is with curry, so you can add the curry to the wudong or put the miso meat sauce in the wudong, which is what I'm doing right now, or you can get a broth of traditional wood made with Dashi I think the Miso meat option looks amazing M that is really very good Udo wonderful chewy texture miso beautifully cooked of course I love the taste of Miso if you want the option with the most intense flavor and mom , this is the way to go and there is a good amount of meat and heat here.

I think the main thing is that they cook the noodles very well. I also bought a wood fired soup that was pretty good, but still has a good chew to the soup, very light but with a nice flavor. the Dashi, so it depends on how you feel. I think it tastes even lighter to me now just because I ate the Mis, so don't make it right before, but this is a really good option for breakfast around the third round. This could be the The last trick here, I don't know, some curry rice with meat miso inside, they also have eggs, yes, it is an amazing egg, mix it with the rice, curry and meat miso, the best of the world, the heat of curry, mommy. and meat from the miso and all that richness is dramatically enhanced by the cream of a little egg.

Oh, this egg dish is really interesting. It's a potato croquet soaked in sticky eggs and scallions and onions, that's really good. Also, the fried chicken is very good at the buffet. Do this again, but it's not a big buffet, but a lot of traditional Japanese foods and for about $8 a very, very satisfying brunch. Favorite things Udo with miso sauce, curry rice and miso sauce, Onsen egg is amazing, Hurg steak excellent, amazing. You have to check this. I've never seen this before. They have ice cream and I thought you would open it from the top, but you don't check.

You open it from below. Start right there and then you push. from above i mean it takes a little effort it tastes sy soft from a machine this is probably the best ice cream i have ever had at the buffet it didn't come from a machine it came from a freezer it doesn't taste at all soft milky machai i just made a mistake I never said I'm smart I was thinking why is it so hard to get ice cream out of this container? I'm stupid, follow me, open the bottom and then there's this machine, open it, put in the ice cream. inside grab a cup put it here press the button grab your ice cream take this out throw it out and that's why I'm stupid I'm going to eat my ice cream now time for dinner this place is not a buffet but I really want to give it to you Try it, it's a fried sandwich shop and The price of sandwiches is as low as 100 yen per sandwich, so with 67 cents I can afford a sandwich at the store.

I bought four sandwiches, the 60 cent sandwich. I'm going to start with the hot sandwiches, each sandwich is freshly fried and then filled with all kinds of different ingredients and here I have an egg salad. You have to get an egg salad sandwich whenever you see one here in Tokyo, here in Japan, and the sandwich is fried to a golden brown. Crunchy, this is a strong sandwich. It's definitely oily because it's fried bread, so all the oils get trapped in here, but the texture is much better than a regular egg sandwich because obviously crusty, toasted bread is better than egg salad.

So good on the outside that it's just a wonderful crunch, especially when you get close to the rich, creamy crust inside. Yummy yoky egg salad and this sandwich $450 yen, so around $3 yes, it's a very good deal for the sandwich. He was actually only going to get three sandwiches, but he said he had to try the curry sandwich. He said this is the best and it's very hot. This is the next level. These sandwiches are too full of filling. It's just a load of curry that looks like the size of a. Open Texas toast in this curry is delicious, it's spicy, it's meaty.

I think there are some potatoes in here with some toasted cheese on top, so the curry itself is already amazing with that crispy fried toast giving it a nice crunch with every bite you can eat. a stronger crunch on the edges where a single crunch in the middle there is no bad bite to the sandwich. I might like this curry better. I am very happy to recommend this 10 out of 10, the next two fried dessert sandwiches, this one is the 100 yen one. sandwich fried sandwich with homemade whipped cream so the first one is 100 yen which is about 60 and then the second one is 300 yen.

This is so bad because it's so good, it's something simply delicious and for only 100 yen if you lived in Tokyo you might get this everydays, I mean, 60 cents for this. This stuff tastes like it was made in heaven by a devilish angel. Oh my goodness, the problem with this is that the whipped cream somewhat dulls the greasiness of the sandwich. It doesn't taste as oily as egg salad or curry, it feels like a fairly light cream, sweet, very milky, that's what Japanese dairy products have, it's extremely rich, but at the same time it tastes very milky and delicious, and I really can't compare it. this to anything else I've ever eaten because I don't think I've ever eaten anything like this before buying a sandwich from Walmart to go.

This is another sweet matcha whipped cream sandwich with matcha powder on top and chocolate truffles on top. It's really good, you get that rich matcha cream that has a little bit of bitterness and then all of a sudden as you're chewing on the chocolate truffle it starts to melt, you get all kinds of different melts here, oh that bite I've bitten into the most. The matcha powder adds a lot of bitterness but it's the good kind of bitterness. The delicious, fragrant tea that balances the sweetness and richness of the sandwich is really good. I still think plain whipped cream is the best.

I think the best of all is the curry though egg salad which I love this is a gem of a place really good prices on some delicious sandwiches if your in Tokyo try the whipped cream you'll know what I'm talking about below Buffet listed moku shimbashi this place It seems to have a lot of character so this buffet lunch is quite interesting, there is a 40 minute time limit and they give you a ticket and you exchange it for their daily main dish and today I think it is potato coret that they prepare fresh for you. then you get unlimited drinks at the salad bar and of course curried rice, which I'm eating with some pickled vegetables.

I'm starting to see this trend that every buffet has to have curry rice, this one is pretty good, although very thick and meum and me. since the pickled vegetables they give you go very well with the curry, it looks like a delicious freshly fried crcket and they said it's a beer cret, okay, it's very hot on a layer of marinara. Wow, this is a very delicious cret, with a really crispy outer layer. wonderfully soft and pillowy inside, a little sweet on the inside. I think this goes really well with some of the pickled vegetables on the buffet, so this place costs 1,000 yen, about $6, basically you're paying for the main dish of the day.

It is made to order, very hot, delicious curry rice, it is actually very very good. You don't see much meat curry rice here and this spicy thing will enlighten you. There is a total time limit of 40 minutes for 1,000 yen total and that includes. service tax it's all a good deal this is a really great buffet it's kind of similar to the chinese buffet i was at yesterday it's another chinese buffet that has it's own selection of dishes and there are a couple of these here i'm really excited about one is the hand cut cabbage this is like a dish of fred cabbage spicy scrambled also fuzu which is like a tofu skin salad fried rice looks good fried chicken looks good there is this sweet and sour I think this is chicken or pork here they have dumplings, mopa, tofu and they have a full drinks bar so you get soft drinks, teas, coffee, you name it, it's around $7 and the most exciting thing is that with your Buffet order you get two freshly made DX M soups, oh, the small one is really good, crunchy and spicy. torn cabbage, a little overcooked taste is nice, oh, that cabbage is actually very spicy.

I really like this lotus root, delicious and very spicy too, so this is a pretty good moku. I'm going to mix some with my rice in the sauce. I think it's spicier than the last Buffet it has more of a fermented bean flavor which I love yeah that's really good. The fried chicken is a little chewy, but the sweet and sour chicken in this sticky sauce is amazing. The sweet and sour soup dumpling is right, they actually look pretty good. add a little bit of Chinese vinegar a little bit of soy sauce dip the soup dumpling inside M which is a pretty thick and juicy little dumpling and the top cut looks like M Fuji which is a solid, solid , delicious, very thick, Dum bling very Porky, the skin is not too thick.

Pretty good sized feel, I think overall as far as the dishes go, I still like the L Chinese buffet a little more, but here you have a full drinks bar and soft drinks, tea, coffee, whatever you want, the ball of free soup dumplings is a nice touch, especially when they make very good freshly steamed soup dumplings and they have some really good dishes too. I mean, I was a little disappointed with the hand-cut cabbage, but the mofu is good, the sweet and sour chicken with potatoes is good, I mean, for $67. I don't think you can go wrong with any place.

I guess the bottom line is that these Chinese

buffets

here in Tokyo are a delicious and delicious offering, okay, I have to eat my soup dumplings before they get cold. Oh, today it will really rain once again. anything you can please I want to check it and this place is on the fourth floor. I think this is it, this place has a special offer where you can get all you can eat overdose, basically different fish cakes and vegetables cooked in dashi broth and you. You can get anything you want for 500 yen, so for a little over $3, all you have to do is have a drink and it can be any drink, soda, tea, alcohol, anything, it's a fantastic deal, it's really cool, they come with a bottle of chopstick holder and you can choose your own chopstick holder, you have some lotus flour and then scan the QR code order the drink.

Wow, there is a drink that is very peculiar. If you ever come here, you'll see what I mean. Actually, a couple of drinks is very peculiar. one of them is cold boiled rice Odin just arrived inside there is kjck jelly, the biggest I have seen in the world, shows my half potato and of course fish cakes, light but very tasty, Dashi kjck, some of my favorite things, the Dashi definitely. cooked with all the ingredients here, but it is very light, if you want some additional flavors, there is mustard and chilis. I think for my Shai, I love small chillies, add a little bit of spicy mustard, oh that's pretty good, it's a meaty fish, same with potatoes add a little bit of chillies and these are very spicy chillies fish cake very soft fish cake very good with a little spicy mustard I bought my second dish this is a tube shaped fish cake this is one of my favorites I think it's the best Here I am so sad that they didn't have the egg.

Egg is always my favorite ingredient. Probably the best SE in the house is near Odin Station. You just sit down and point to the pieces you want. Odin is probably one of the best. There's Japanese comfort food and it's perfect when it's cold and right now it's cold, it's raining. I feel like my whole body is warming up and this dish is so versatile there are so many different ingredients and depending on which province you are in this is a very lively and fun place the staff is very very friendly so If you ever come here don't feel intimidated by not speaking the language and when I got here it was completely packed.

Oldin is good, the dashi is lighter, but just dip it in some spicy mustard for $3. This is an absolutely incredible deal and that concludes another food tour here in Tokyo. I went to a lot of places I never knew existed and as always all the places are listed below for you, thank you all. so much for watching until we eat again see you later
