Budget Buffet in Tokyo

Posted on 09/02/2022 Last updated on 09/02/2022

Are you in Tokyo and hungry? Do you want to try different delicious dishes without spending a lot of money? Well then have I got a place for you to try!

Japan is well-known for its beautiful and rich culture, which draws many visitors from all over the world. If you are visiting Japan, you should not miss out on visiting its capital city, Tokyo. Tokyo has many attractions, shopping districts, entertainment options, and everyone’s favorite thing of all- food. However, Tokyo is one of Asia’s most expensive cities to live in, likely leading you to believe that everything here is expensive.

Thankfully, this is not the case. When I hang out with my friends, our main issue is always what to eat. I enjoy food, but do not want to spend a lot of money. After much searching, we discovered something else Japan does very well: buffets, or as they are also known, Vikings! Here is one of my favorites:

Tokyo Statuon Buffet: Chisozanmai

Just a four-minute walk from the Tokyo Station and you will find this elegant and cozy ambiance of an all-you-can-eat buffet restaurant offering about 60 kinds of dishes and free drinks. The lunch time starts at 11:00 and ends at 16:00. For the very reasonable price of 2,900 yen for adults, 1,800 yen for elementary students, 700 yen for lower school levels. Children 2 and under eat for free! However, for the dinner time that starts from 16:00 and ends at 23:00. The price for adults changes from 2,900 yen to 3,600. Still, for all you can fill your plate with (as many times as you want) + drinks, it’s a good deal!

Here are some of the dishes they offer:

Sushi

Tempura

Grilled Fish

Sukiyaki

Simmered Sweet Potato

Japanese Potato and meat stew

Roast Beef

Beef Stew

Crab Fried Rice

Shrimp with Egg Chili Sauce

Pizza

Fresh Salads and Fruits

Cheese Cake

Strawberry Shortcake

Almond Jelly with Strawberry Sauce

And there are many more. Do you like crabs? This is your lucky day, because this buffet restaurant also serves crabs! All-you-can-eat snow crab legs are available for an additional 3,300 yen.

Conclusion

If you want to eat a wide variety of food without spending a lot, then try buffet restaurants. You don’t need to go to an expensive restaurant just to eat good food. The offerings of Chisozanmai are worth every yen. Try it- I guarantee you’ll like it!
