Thought I had to wait until CNY to get my hands on these chips, Himawari did a great job serving this as part of their menu!
Fresh sashimi, generous portion and friendly staff. All
Time fav for my colleagues and I.
Delicious & Flavourful. Very generous with the portion. But service was very slow
Loved the food here! Tempura was light and not oily. Ingredients tasted fresh. There’s also chawanmushi, fruits and other stuff in the set meal. It’s pretty worth! About $20++ for the set.
Okay just look at how thick those slices are. Like they're literally almost as thick as my finger. This deluxe chirashi set ($45) came with salmon, sea bream, normal and fatty tuna, yellowtail, uni and a generous amount of ikura atop sushi rice with a side of ginger and wasabi. The bowl came with miso soup too.
The thickness of each glistening slice made each bite extremely hearty and satisfying. And the quality of the fish was really good too, with no overpowering fishy taste. My favorite was definitely the fatty tuna. I don't even like tuna that much but these melted in my mouth like butter with barely any chewing. It almost didn't even taste like tuna, it was so gloriously rich and decadent. And the ikura burst like bubbles in my mouth. This was definitely worth that price tag and Himawari is certainly worth a revisit for its buffet.
8.5/10
There are 3 choices for lunch set and I went straight for the $23.80++ to try the sashimi. Slices of mekajiki and hamachi were thick and fresh. The negitoro in the sushi was also generous. Rice was a bit too mushy in the california roll but overall a decent lunch.
Exceedingly fresh and generous with their portion, Himawari Japanese Restaurant is known for their sashimi buffet. However for a less extravagant option, their Salmon Ikura Chirashi ($28) was simply superb and more than sufficient to satisfy my sashimi craving. Soft and melty, the fish proved to be as good as it looked - being incredibly fatty, sweet and without a hint of fishiness. The shiny and supple ikura also provided addictive pops of briny sweetness to the bowl. And though prices are slightly steep, it was well-worth the quality and substantially thick cuts. So good!
This was so so good! Here, the sashimi is served in thick, chunky cuts, so each piece feels really substantial unlike the thin feeble slices you get at other places. The sashimi was incredibly fresh, and the salmon was so fatty that it just melts in your mouth. Not cheap, but definitely worth it for the occasional indulgence!
Includes shabu shabu too, $45.90++ from mon - thurs dinner. Great variety but a bit stingy on ice cream even thou its part of buffet (1 per person only meeeh cup ice cream quite cheap what)
Best thing I've eaten this week the portion is so generous however don't expect to leave the restaurant without a burnt pocket! Food here is super good but it's expensive too. The Negitoro Don Set costs $21.9 before all other odd charges that we are being costed for.
Ordered the chirashi don and hot soba noodles set ($34) (2 carbs ain’t too much when u’re starving right HAHA). The sashimi slices were cut quick thickly (which I like) and were fresh, and the hot soba noodles would suffice to satisfy a soba craving. Though there are better Japanese restaurants around Singapore, I would think this is one of the better ones in the Alexandra area!

Himawari has very good thick cut sashimi, with lunch sets like the above on weekdays and also a la carte buffet on weekdays/weekends which I heard is good.
Was honestly quite disappointed with this teriyaki cod fish. I've had silky, yummy teriyaki cod before and this was not it. The fish wasn't fresh, and it was fried to mask the texture. The agedashi tofu was not bad, but not good enough to warrant their high prices. 🙊
Price: $25
