At first glance, the name Mori Grill might lead one to believe it is a barbecue restaurant. However, upon entering, it becomes clear that this is not just a barbecue joint, but rather a buffet offering a wide variety of dishes. Notable menu items include teppanyaki lamb, sashimi, and shabu-shabu. Beer lovers will also be pleased to find a beer buffet available.

Mori Grill boasts an extensive menu with over 100 dishes, catering to 115 guests and offering private dining rooms. The restaurant operates in two shifts: lunch from 11:30 AM to 2:30 PM and dinner from 6:00 PM to 10:00 PM.

Both time slots offer an all-you-can-eat buffet at the same price of 899 Baht. Additionally, there is a current promotion offering a 20% discount for groups of 5 or more.

Upon entering the restaurant, I was greeted by a chef who spoke fluent English, despite the fact that the restaurant was located in Thailand. This was the newly opened shabu zone. As I was selecting ingredients for my shabu, the chef asked me in English if I wanted any vegetables. This impressed me with his attentiveness. Later, I forgot about the shabu I was preparing while selecting other dishes. The chef then came looking for me and asked me which soup base I would like, as there were three options to choose from. These small gestures made a lasting impression on me.

The restaurant's layout is straightforward, with distinct zones for various food options, including shabu-shabu, sashimi, teppanyaki, fried dishes, and desserts.

My first stop was my favorite menu item, sashimi, which included salmon, tuna, hamachi, abalone, razor clams, and various sushi rolls.

Overall, the sashimi here is of good quality for a buffet at this price point. However, the hamachi ran out quickly, which was a bit disappointing, and I had trouble keeping up with the other diners.

The teppanyaki zone features lamb, renowned for its tenderness and lack of the strong odor often associated with mutton. Additionally, it offers large river prawns, sausages, duck meat, and a variety of mushrooms, including shiitake and enoki.

The buffet line boasts several standout dishes, including the perfectly seasoned soy sauce-braised fish head, the chewy and satisfying cheese-baked oysters, and the perfectly cooked fish in the soup.

Another of my favorite dishes is cold soba, which remains refreshingly cool and has a fragrant sauce that resembles the aroma of shio fish, adding to the enjoyment of lifting the cup to my lips.

If you're not a fan of teppanyaki, there's also a seafood zone with shrimp, squid, and shellfish, along with side dishes like kimchi and cold seaweed.

For dessert, there is a variety of options, including ice cream, grass jelly, condensed milk, red syrup, and cake. The cake here tends to be a bit on the hard side, but it depends on your personal preference.

Conclusion

Overall, Mori Grill excels not only in its namesake grilled dishes but also offers a variety of other intriguing menu items, all prepared with high-quality ingredients. The seasoning is generally mild but effectively controls the aroma, resulting in a pleasant fragrance. As mentioned earlier, the service is impressive. While the location may not be easily accessible by train, it is still a worthwhile and appealing restaurant.
