I love the vibe at this Izakaya. The menu variety is also quite expansive. The deep fried items were especially well-done. We ordered the Unagi Tempura from the seasonal menu, which was remarkably good!

A nice place to chill and enjoy your evening. There's a wide selection of Izakaya food options. From seasonal specials, sashimi, cooked food, yakitori, grilled items and many more. You can even order their fried burdock as a healthier snack too.

Founded by Abdul Kadir in 1908, this century-old eatery remains family-owned to this day. Famed for their 2 signature dishes, no one does it like they do.
.
Their rendition features a stretched dough, folded and layered with chicken egg, diced red onions, spices including turmeric, and a choice of meat or fish, such as minced mutton, shredded chicken, tuna fish flakes, sardine fish fillets, minced beef, or minced deer meat.

A rare example of a rendition that has only gotten better, improving with time.
.
As long as a forearm, the thick chunky rendition has thin crisp pan-fried dough folded and layered with a generous helping of ingredients. Love that it's non-greasy.
.
Includes wispy chicken egg, crisp red onions, and a choice of either tender turmeric spiced minced mutton, or chewy shredded chicken.
.
Has addictive smoky bready eggy meaty vegetal salty savoury spice flavour. Wholesome sides of fresh lettuce and crisp cucumber, both with vegetal sweet flavour.

The food was good especially the cod! Quiet ambience and have the japanese vibes. Good for couples and also company dinner for food and drinks!

went in at 8+ but they have no more udon and garlic fried rice, so i tried the oden. it's a comfort bowl of hot soup with usual oden ingredients, just what i needed on that day. the soup also has a slightly sweet taste to it, and the radish and fishcakes were soft to chew. i also tried the pork jowl charshu, i liked how soft it is to chew and the gravy was also slightly sweet. lastly, tried the black pork collar. although it was on the tougher side, it's well seasoned. the other food on the menu looks good to be paired with drinks, even though i did not order any drinks that day.

The salmon donburi was tasty with nicely stacked salmon, though the portion felt a little small. The yakitori sticks were the real highlight—flavorful and pretty good value for money. The pork jowl leaned on the salty side, but that’s kind of expected at an izakaya since the food is meant to pair with drinks. I didn’t try the drinks this time but the menu looked interesting enough to warrant a return visit.

The place was buzzing, mostly with Japanese workers, which added to the authenticity—I honestly felt like I’d been transported straight to Japan for a bit.

Dropped by for dinner after work and was pleasantly surprised by how good the food was! I tried the mentaiko rosti, black cod, and spicy salmon don. The rosti was so tasty, the mentaiko sauce paired perfectly with the crispy potato. My personal favorite was definitely the black cod - superb quality, generous portion, and very reasonably priced. Will be back for sure!

This does not typically go wrong.

I came back because they switched fast from Thai to Penang. Is this Penang cuisine though? But rich lah. Not the premium oxtail but acceptable.
