The restaurant opened at 11 am and we were seated right away. They offer a wide variety of dishes from salads to desserts. I wanted to try a little bit of everything but there were so many options that I couldn't try them all... haha. The crepe dessert comes with a choice of either normal or sugar butter, and it's a must-try. This place offers great value for the price.

It's been a while since I went to a buffet. I'm the type who likes to choose a full course meal for myself, from appetizers to soup, main course, and dessert. But the downside is that I tend to overeat, haha. I forgot to take photos of the main course and dessert, but this photo is for two people!

It had been a while since I went to a buffet dinner with a 2-hour time limit. I was enjoying sharing the dishes I picked with my friends at the table, but it was a bit disappointing when the plates I used were cleared. The mentaiko pasta was delicious.

This is my first visit. With a friend. We found this place by chance on a weekday night. It seemed like a good value...and it turned out to be a great find. The menu was extensive and the food was delicious. There were also plenty of desserts, with freshly baked crepes being a highlight. It's a shame that reservations are not accepted.

I've been here before so I didn't see much change, but I noticed they added the option of sugar butter for the crepes at the dessert corner. I tend to eat the same things over and over because I already have my favorites (lol). I think the salad options are pretty good. I'm not sure if I just didn't notice, but it would have been nice to have ketchup. Since it was a revisit, I didn't find the food exceptionally delicious, just average. The pizza was best when it was fresh.

I went to ZA Platinum. Dinner cost over 2000 yen, but there were many options in the buffet and I could eat a lot of different flavors within the time limit, so I could eat a lot and enjoy various tastes until I was full. It was fun to make crepes with my favorite flavors.

I arrived around 10:40 am and got a ticket from the terminal outside the restaurant. It had the number 8 on it, so I was probably the 8th group in line. The restaurant opened at 11 am, and as expected, I was called as the 8th group. I got a seat at the back, which had a nice view and was quite cozy. However, it was the farthest from the buffet area. After a quick explanation, I headed straight to the buffet area. The pizza and salad areas were crowded, so I decided to start with corn soup, drinks, and desserts first. The desserts were untouched, so I tried a variety of bite-sized cakes and arranged them with mango and strawberries. Next, I had pizza, pasta, hot deli items (like fried chicken and fish), and salad. The pizza was delicious with lots of toppings. I wanted more pizza after trying everything. The fried chicken and fish were also tasty, as well as the corn soup. I finished with vanilla ice cream topped with mango and strawberries. Overall, everything was good, and I enjoyed my 90-minute dining experience. The restaurant fills up quickly, so if you arrive after 11 am, you might have to wait for the second round at 12:30 pm. Get a ticket and wait for the second round!

I revisited The Platinum on the 10th floor of LUCUA Osaka for lunch buffet after 4 years. This time, I made a reservation through Tabelog in advance, so I was the first in line to enjoy the lunch buffet + drink bar, and I ate to my heart's content within 90 minutes. Although the time limit remained at 90 minutes, the price has increased by 100 yen to 1799 yen (excluding tax) compared to 4 years ago. The differences from 4 years ago include the addition of disposable gloves and alcohol disinfectant for COVID-19 prevention, the disappearance of square plates divided into 9 sections and smoothies, the drink bar now incurring an additional charge (price: 299 yen excluding tax), and the establishment of a designated area for used dishes. Nevertheless, the staff still provided freshly baked crepes, which were very delicious (*^^*).

I couldn't decide where to have dinner because there were so many restaurants and everyone wanted to eat something different. Then I thought, let's go to a buffet where we can have a variety of dishes! The buffet had a delicious Katsuo Carpaccio that I especially enjoyed.

I often go to this buffet for lunch on weekdays. This time, I had to wait for an hour before being seated, which was a first for me. It seemed like there were a lot of students that day, which may have been why. The food selection was good, with a variety of dishes including fried chicken, roasted duck, grilled chicken with herbs, and more. The dessert section was also plentiful. Overall, the buffet experience was enjoyable and worth the price.

This is a revisit. This time I came at night with friends! I wanted to introduce this place, and at night they have seafood-loaded pizza and thick roast beef, which was very satisfying. The dishes were served hot until the last order, and it was truly wonderful. The staff's service was also excellent as always. My friends love sweets, and their eyes widened at the large scoop pudding. Of course, we also had freshly baked crepes. And it seems like we ate too much. Thank you for the feast. This restaurant is likely to become a favorite.

I made a reservation and went! The window seat seems to have a good view ^_^ I went at night and there was a line, so it might be better to make a reservation! It's a restaurant where you can eat a lot for a reasonable price, so the age group is low and the taste is just delicious. There are many options, including ice cream, which is nice ^_^ This floor of Lucua is very spacious and a bit confusing haha. The menu probably changes quite a bit, so I'm not sure if this will be helpful, but putting pho in the water dumplings and eating it was delicious! Desserts are basically like a buffet at a school trip hotel.

The lunch buffet for 1,699 yen is cheap. There aren't too many options, but each dish is delicious. They cook crepes right in front of you and there are plenty of dessert choices. It would be nice to have more Japanese food options, but considering the price, it's understandable. The drink selection was a bit limited.

Lunch deal with points~♪ I had some d points that I needed to use by the end of this month, so I decided to visit this restaurant where I could use my points for a discounted lunch. Last time I visited, they were out of freshly baked crepes and deli-style side dishes, so I was not planning on going back due to the lack of value for money. However, this time I could use my points to enjoy a well-rounded meal including a main dish, side salad, and dessert at a lower cost, so I decided to give it another try. I arrived at the restaurant a little after 3 pm on a weekday and there were about 5 groups of customers inside. I was seated promptly and noticed that the crepe corner was back in business! This got me excited as I had initially planned to just have a simple meal and dessert before leaving. Although they didn't have deli-style dishes this time, I was satisfied with the affordable meal and enjoyed the dessert afterwards. If I had to make one suggestion, it would be great if they could offer at least two varieties of deli-style dishes, as half of the side dishes were spicy and I'm not a fan of spicy food, so my options were limited. Overall, it was a satisfying experience. Thank you for the meal.

I used it as a late lunch around 15:30 on a regular day! I was really hungry so I wanted to eat a lot at the buffet \(//∇//)\, and this miraculous restaurant managed to fulfill my wish even at this late hour⭐︎ However, when I got to the front of the restaurant, I hesitated to go in. I was worried that the dishes lined up at this awkward time on a weekday might not be good. If they were all dry and tasteless, I wouldn't like it... My feet were frozen((((；ﾟДﾟ))))))) haha Then I heard the cheerful greeting of a bright female staff member who seemed like a Disneyland cast member, so I decided to give it a try (*´-`) [Glad I went in(・∀・)] In the end, there were no disappointing dishes and everything was delicious!! There were no dry dishes, and it was more like hitting the jackpot(๑･̑◡･̑๑) But that one staff member was amazing!! I think she was probably a part-timer, but her consideration for other customers was incredible!! When a mother with a small child was carrying dishes, she offered to carry the plates for her, and she even played with the child. I think this person could easily fit in as a Disneyland cast member. haha The food was reasonably priced and delicious, and the refreshing customer service was pleasant♪(*^^)o∀*∀o(^^*)♪

Freshly baked crepes are no longer available?! I was looking for a place to have a leisurely meal, and decided to visit this place where I can enjoy seafood deli and fish carpaccio, as well as freshly baked crepes. When I arrived around 2:30 pm on a weekday, I was informed that the system had changed. I received an explanation about the new payment system, and was handed a blank payment board to choose a seat on my own. It seems that there is no longer a time limit for dining. When leaving, I returned the payment board to the return basket at the entrance, and brought the empty plates to the return slot myself, sorting them by type. Despite visiting around 2:30 pm on a weekday, the restaurant was surprisingly about 70-80% full. I tried to choose a seat with as much distance as possible from other customers, but the lack of social distancing made it difficult. I chose a seat in a row, but the seats in front and behind were also occupied, which made me feel uncomfortable. When I went to the food counter, I was disappointed to find that there were no deli-style dishes I was looking for, and the salad corner only had vegetables. The dessert corner, which was one of the highlights, no longer had freshly baked crepes or toppings for desserts, and the variety of desserts had decreased. The number of dishes had decreased by about 10 types for both main dishes and desserts. Even though there is no time limit now, the reduced variety of dishes and the need to clear the plates myself without a price reduction made it less cost-effective. The selection of hot dishes was similar to last time, with about 7 options, and the rest were mainly carbohydrates. Without the deli-style dishes and with fewer dessert options, considering cost-effectiveness, there are plenty of lunch buffets for around 1,500 yen that offer more variety, so I see no reason to visit this place again. Thank you for the meal.

All-you-can-eat meals and desserts~♪ I visited for lunch for the first time in 2 years since my last dinner visit. Lunch is 1,699 yen (excluding tax) with a drink bar. I didn't have high expectations this time because I didn't have a good impression last time, and I entered just before 3 pm due to lunchtime crowds. Overall, it was good this time. The deli items in the salad corner were all tasty. There was something like bonito carpaccio, which left a good impression. The hot side dishes were neither good nor bad, and it was a shame that the pizza slices were large, but the taste was not bad. The freshly baked crepes for dessert were chewy and delicious. I was satisfied with the reasonable amount of food and desserts in terms of cost performance. Since I entered late, the restaurant was spacious and I was able to enjoy my meal leisurely. Thank you for the meal.

This was my first time visiting this place, and I personally found the fried chicken to be the most delicious. The pasta was a bit dry for my liking. The desserts were plentiful and tasty. I chose a crepe with Snoopy drawn on it, which was made fresh on the spot. The atmosphere in the restaurant was warm and welcoming. The only downside was that it was not unlimited. I prefer places where I can relax and take my time.

Celebrating the 4600-day consecutive update, this is the 10th installment of the all-you-can-eat series featuring "THE PLATINUM" at LUCUA Osaka. Weekday lunch buffet. 90 minutes for adults at 1699 yen (excluding tax). Lunch time only. Aged ham. This restaurant operates with lunch from 11:00 to 17:00 and dinner from 17:00 to 23:00, with no changeover between lunch and dinner times. So, if you go towards the end of lunch time, you can enjoy the dinner menu at the lunch price as long as it's within 90 minutes. The roast beef is available as a limited-time offer. In summary, from affordable options to large portions, enjoy a meaty lunch in Osaka, Hyogo, and Kyoto.
