Hidden on Stanley Street, SkuKuu is a cozy restaurant that brings out the spirit and atmosphere of Japanese dining. The restaurant itself feels like it has been curated to bring the focus and attention to the dining experience and of course, the food. The food selection is amazing, starting with a large choice of appetizers all the way to the choice of sake. With traditional dishes, all the way to crafted dishes, the restaurant has definitely placed its focus on creating a memorable dining experience for its diners.

I would highly recommend first-time diners to try what has been recommended by the waiters and chef. I really enjoyed the Ika "Kuro" Age (Surume Squid in ink) and their Reba Shoyuzuke (Marinated chicken liver in soy sauce), both recommended by the owner of the restaurant. I have never ever been a fan of chicken liver, but this dish was something I would see myself ordering the next time I’m around. It was deeply marinated and perfectly cooked, enough to remove the bitter-chalky taste of liver. Take a leap of faith and give this dish a try.

Last but not least, cleanse your palate with a sip of sake. The combination of flavorful dishes with the restaurant's recommended choice of sake is perfect for an after-work chill evening or a Friday night date.
