Let’s be honest, nothing quite hits the spot like a glorious spread of Japanese cuisine (especially if you’re one who absolutely loves the flavours of the East). Bite-sized sushi pieces, sashimi so perfectly juicy, fatty, and fresh it tastes like it’s just come straight from the sea, and that addictive sizzle of teppanyaki to boot! If your stomach is already rumbling at the thought, then look no further than Miyabi.

Nestled in the Sheraton Petaling Jaya, Miyabi has earned a sterling reputation for serving up truly premium Japanese cuisine. Stepping into the restaurant is an experience in itself. The entrance, marked by traditional Japanese curtains, immediately transports you, and as you walk in, you’re treated to a view of the skilled sushi chefs meticulously prepping their dishes behind the counter. The whole place is absolutely brimming with that authentic Japanese vibe. Between the lovely general seating, intimate private dining rooms, and even a dedicated teppanyaki station tucked away at the back, the ambiance simply can’t be beaten.

The Epitome of Japanese Indulgence

Miyabi has always been known for its curated set menus and special omakase courses, focusing intently on ensuring the top-notch quality of every single dish. They’ve never been a buffet spot — until now (for a limited-time only)!

To ramp up the excitement for the year-end festivities, Miyabi is rolling out an exclusive Japanese Christmas and New Year Buffet offering, and let us tell you, you do not want to miss this rare opportunity. We at The Grid Asia were lucky enough to get a sneak peek, and believe us when we say this indulgent experience is absolutely worth the price tag (of RM280+ per adult and RM140+ per child).

This special event runs for 4 days only: 24 & 25 Dec, 31 Dec 2025, and 1 Jan 2026. Advance reservations are highly recommended!

The structure itself is unique: it’s a semi-buffet concept. While the main spread is unlimited, certain premium dishes are prepared à la minute and served fresh to the table, keeping the quality high and the experience refined. If you’re a devout lover of Japanese food and are ready to rightfully splurge this festive season, Miyabi is the place to be.

A Feast for the Eyes (and Stomach!)

You really need to strategically plan your attack on this semi-buffet, lest you fill up too quickly before you’ve sampled everything! We were truly spoilt for choice with an incredible array of Japanese delicacies, including the unexpected presence of the Sheraton Petaling Jaya Hotel’s very own Classic Slow-Roasted Turkey as a grand centrepiece alongside the Eastern delights.

Our first stop? The sushi bar, a truly stunning sight. It’s lined with assorted premium nigiri sushi and various maki rolls, and you can even watch the chefs preparing more fresh sushi right before your eyes. That fatty piece of salmon, sitting atop perfectly seasoned sushi rice, dipped into the ideal ratio of wasabi and shoyu is certainly a recipe for success (of taste, that is).

Their unlimited sashimi section is also a highlight, featuring 6 types that include Salmon, King Prawn, Octopus, Cuttlefish, Yellowtail, and Tuna. It is truly sashimi galore, and just writing about it is making us drool all over again.

Beyond the sushi bar, you’ll find plenty of other options, including comforting classics like light chawanmushi and crispy karaage, and expansive Donburi selections like Wagyu Beef, Foie Gras, and Unagi rice bowls. Which, of course, we happily dug into.

Premium À La Minute Selections

This is where the splurge is fully justified. Each diner gets the luxury of selecting one premium dish from an exquisite lineup. This selection includes a Japanese Black Wagyu Beef Platter, Toro Sashimi, Uni Platter, Zuwaigani Shabu Shabu (snow crab hot pot), or Yaki Lobster.

If you want to truly treat yourself, you have the option to add on RM85+ per premium dish to enjoy unlimited servings of these exclusive, high-value items — a rare treat that turns a great meal into an unforgettable feast.

The Sizzle of Teppanyaki

But the real highlight that stole the show was the Teppanyaki station. Honestly, who can resist the sight (and smell!) of perfectly grilled Teppanyaki?

At this live station, you get to pick your choice of proteins, ranging from luscious cuts of Beef, Salmon, Scallop, and Chicken, right down to fresh Oyster and King Prawn! Pile up your plate with some mushrooms and sweet cabbage (along with the meats, of course), hand it off to the expert chef, and enjoy the show! It’s a truly mesmerising spectacle watching them grill everything to perfection right there on the flat grill.

The teppanyaki is served alongside a side of Chahan (Japanese fried rice). Options include Wagyu Fat Chahan and Unagi Chahan — and they indeed tasted heavenly. But our pick? Hands down, the Wagyu Fat Chahan. It was so incredibly flavourful, with the tiny bits of fat melting perfectly into the fried rice. It had us going back for seconds (and maybe even thirds!).

The grilled teppanyaki meats themselves? Melt-in-your-mouth amazing. And the oysters had especially impressed us. You know how oysters have that off, briny taste? You don’t have to worry about that here, because these oysters were super fresh and utterly divine.

There’s Always Room For Dessert!

Don’t forget to save room for the grand finale! After following an extensive journey through premium Japanese flavours, the dessert station offers a sweet finish. For this festive special, the desserts and sweets are both pretty and delicious to eat! A definite must-try is the Homemade Matcha Ice-Cream, which delivers that perfectly balanced, earthy, and satisfying green tea flavour.

Ultimately, you’d be missing out if you don’t go for the Miyabi Christmas and New Year Buffet. This is the only chance you’ll get this year to indulge in Miyabi’s commitment to quality — from the meticulously sliced sashimi and sizzling premium Teppanyaki, right down to the heartfelt spirit of omotenashi in every dish. If you’re looking to elevate your year-end celebration with a distinctive and top-tier feast, grab your spot now. This exclusive four-day opportunity to feast like royalty is simply too good to pass up!
