Todai
For unlimited helpings of seafood for groups of five to 15
Catering to varying group sizes, there are four private dining rooms at Todai and can booked for an additional charge of $50 per room (over the per-person buffet charges). The rooms range from a cosy five-person sanctuary to that which can fit a more raucous group of 13, which is just as well – you don’t want outsiders watching the way you eat seafood, though that, we think, is a good bonding experience for the team. The international buffet ($42++ to $68++per person) should satisfy rumbling stomachs, with a choice of Alaskan crabs, fresh oysters and barbecued beef short ribs. Be sure to book at least two days in advance for this private feast.
