KANIZANMAI - Crab Buffet in Tokyo, Shinjuku

The restaurant in Shinjuku is split between 2 floors but they will seat you accordingly after they reconfirmed your name etc. There's a QR code to order food so it's easy. For me and my hubs, it was totally worth it to get the king crab option which best you gril it while the snow crabs you eat as is.

I highly recommend this restaurant. The food is excellent. We enjoyed the crabs, snow crabs, and king crabs, all of which were fresh. The service was exceptional. Since we are a family of four who love seafood, this is really worth it! Also, thanks to Mr. Ishikawa for accommodating us and helping us! ❤️ We will definitely go back there!❤️

Must follow the google map as per Klook given as I went to wrong Kanizanmai. The staffs are helpful, even our 100 minutes over they do not chasing us to leave. The food was great and the unlimited king crab really eat until I dare not to order and preferred sushi or other cooked food

Overall, this was really worth it, because the crabs that they gave us were really easy huge, and we only had to order one time again because we were already very full. Kamameshi Rice must be ordered ahead of time, preferably before you start your buffet. Because it takes forty minutes minutes to cook. I suggest trying the mushroom and crab Kamameshi. Beer is not yet included, so that's an add on, but the other drinks then on alcoholic ones are for free. If you also wanted to grill seafood its also an add on. For improvement, I wish they had an english speaking staff

Food Taste: Although the price is a bit expensive, it includes the reservation fee, plus one service fee, and other necessary expenses. The set menu selection is rich, especially the king crab. After opening it, the meat is about the size of a hot dog. Super enjoyable! I have never enjoyed unlimited king crab like this before. In addition to king crab, there are many sushi choices and other cooked foods. Drinks are also unlimited.

Our family of four was initially a little disappointed as we were unable to change the seats assigned to us, which were located right beside the toilet. However, the exceptional freshness of both the king crab and snow crab more than made up for this. That said, aside from the crabs, the rest of the menu items were quite average, or even below expectations. We were given a 100-minute seating time, with last orders closing 80 minutes after being seated. In our excitement, we spent too much time carefully dissecting the crabs, which left us with limited time to enjoy the other dishes. If you’re planning to visit, a helpful tip would be to have one person handle ordering while the others focus on cracking and serving the crabs. This way, you can avoid everyone getting their hands messy at once and wasting time on cleaning up, allowing you to make the most of your dining time.

The location is easy to find. There aren't many types of dishes, so I recommend focusing on the crab, as just eating the crab is filling enough. After the first course, a woman might already be too full for a second round of crab legs. If you love crab, you should definitely go once; one crab leg is truly longer than your arm and incredibly fresh and sweet. The restaurant environment is great, with each table having a private room, so you don't have to worry about anyone seeing you make a mess while eating. I'm still traumatized from eating so much crab that I don't want to see crab legs for at least a year, haha! Overall, it's good! Go for it, big eaters!

The service staff was very proactive and enthusiastic. We ordered food using our phones, and the dishes were served quite quickly. The king crab legs were fresh, and I found them to be very delicious. However, because the crab legs were so large, I felt quite full after just a few pieces.

This restaurant was the best bang to end our visit to Japan along with a foreign esk Thanksgiving for my brother and buddy. The The king crab was amazing, staff was super friendly, very accommodating and provided awesome service. Also shoutout to the worker who compliment my Japanese!! Book your reservation NOW!!

I'm very satisfied, I just wish my stomach wasn't so small! I didn't dare order the kamameshi because there were so many sushi options to choose from. I also wouldn't recommend drinking alcohol, it's just too filling! 😭
