Looking for cheap all-you-can-eat places

I found one but that is mostly spaghetti and desserts. Where else are there where I can sample more kinds of Japanese food and don't cost much ? How do I pronounce them in Japanese if I wish to ask the locals ?
Are there any in smaller cities and towns ?

How cheap do you want it to be, it's best to state a budget so people can refer to.

Sweets Paradise is a famous chain all-you-can-eat dessert.
Is 1480 yen.

899,

I really don't know how much to expect. That's why I just mention "cheap". I will guess any buffet meal below 3000 to 4000 yen should be considered cheap in Japan ? Can you recommend any buffetmeal of Japanese food on the cheaper end ? A normal bento set is too light for me; I will need at least 2 sets per meal; so might as well look for buffet types.

The word cheap means alot, I opened a thread on all you can eat crabs for 90 minutes the price is about 6000 yen, and that is still considered cheap.

But for your budget, you can check this link, but you haven't stated which area.

I think there are some hotels that have buffet meal at low price.

If you are okay with Chinese cuisine, I love 大珍楼(Daichinrou) in Yokohama China Town.
2hours for 2,380 yen/person on weekdays.

BTW, the all-you-can-eat in Japanese is tabe-houdai(食べ放題).

Thank you for the links. Hope more will come in for other areas.
Is the "ou" pronounced as in "old" or "how" ?

How about "Sanjyaku Sanzun Bashi" It is a typical Japanese home cooking dish.

For all you can eat, inquire with the term ''tabehodai'' or look for this sign 関西いのち.

Try shinjuku around the red light district, there are lots of buffet like koren BBQ, most of them are in buildings on the upper floor, there is a charcoal bbq that i'm looking for, but still trying to find it.

Thank you. How about other cities ?

My favorite all-you-can-eat place in Japan is at Kushiya Monogatari. Bento.com lists all their locations in Tokyo. I have also eaten at the one in Osaka which is where the restaurant chain originated. It's basically all-you-can eat kushiage which is deep fried foods on a stick. You can read a blog post on it here:

Costs 2500 Yen per person. Besides kushiage they also have all kinds of other foods like curry and salads and pastas and soups and dessert.
