Upon arrival @Unique Seafood, you get to pick the live seafood from their tanks, and decide on which restaurant to dine it. Personally, I have tried both restaurants and I prefer the Owen Seafood Restaurant cooking skills. Next, you need to tell the waiter your preferred method of cooking that dish.... I visit Unique Seafood quite often because I find the ambience of the restaurant rather casual and value for money, especially for the GREAT FOOD if you are a seafood lover like me. Take a look at the pictures of the different dishes below which I took during my recent visits.

Overall Taste: 3.5/5
Ambience: 2/5
Value for money: 3.5/5
Service: 2/5
Carpark: 5/5 (there are plenty of space for parking)
HALAL: NO

This restaurant was introduced by one of my friends, and we went down for her Birthday Celebration. I had been to this restaurant couple of times before this but its my first time having their a-la carte buffet. It is definitely one of the better buffets in town. We went there for the dinner buffet and they had a great variety of food, majority chinese cuisine with a little touch of Japanese cuisine. The ambience of the restaurant was warming welcome, with comfortable and premium settings. Take a look at some pictures below which I took during this visit, my friends and I had a great time there and definitely be back for more.
