100 Mins All-You-Can-Eat Yakiniku Buffet At ROCKU Pavilion

Yakiniku (buffet) has become one of my regular dining-out meal in Bangkok. Upon seeing my blog post, Meng, a friend commented that yakiniku buffet is available in KL too, at ROCKU Yakiniku at Pavilion. 

Today, I set to find out what ROCKU is all about. I am happy to report that it has an edge, versus the yakiniku buffet restaurants at Bangkok, as ROCKU also includes entertainment.

 

Casual. Upbeat. Edgy.

 

ROCKU originated from Singapore. Casual. Upbeat. Edgy. That’s ROCKU’S positioning. Food + Entertainment (Live band performances, Magician), can’t go wrong for a fun dining out experience. When I was there for lunch, there ain’t any peformances though.

ROCKU’S wifi password is ROCKUrocks, so I was wondering whether it’s meant to be pronounced as Rock-U (as in Rock You), but Kym, my friend thought that the pronounciation is Roc-Ku.


 

Roku’s meaning in English

 

Well, I checked Japanese-English dictionary. Perhaps what Kym said is correct: Roc-ku and it means good.

 

100 minutes time limit for buffet

 

Buffet menu

 

There is a 100 minutes time limit for buffet, so we were naturally quite anxious when time was running out. The staff came around to check on our last order, around 5-10 minutes before our 100 minutes time limit. We continued eating past the 100 minutes, and there were no additional charges.

 

Pork fat as grease agent

 

Happy grilling

 

I thought that 100 minutes is more than enough, but not really, as we needed to grill our own food. 70 minutes into our grilling, the fire started to dim. The staff obliged with our request to change the steel wire mesh, and also added charcoal when we complaint about the (lack of) fire.

 

Order slips


Meat and seafood, and miso soup and enoki mushroom, are to be ordered from staff.

 

Buffet table

 

Veges and other items such as salad, chawan mushi, fried stuffs, fruits, etc, are from the buffet table.

Not Your Typical Tourist

A passionate advocate for independent and solo travel, I traded life in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, for the vibrant streets of Bangkok, Thailand. This shift is all thanks to a "chance encounter" in 2009 that led to marriage with my Thai husband. I currently split my time between Bangkok (my main base) and Kuala Lumpur for family—documenting the unique blend of a Malaysian life lived abroad.
