Wallet dmg: ~$15/pax

Salmon Aburi Don ($9.90+):
Salmon was cooked nicely, can taste the smokiness of the aburi salmon. Rice has vinegar taste which goes nicely together with the salmon.

The mixed sashimi salad comes with pieces of tuna, salmon, scallop, amaebi, tamago, ikura, cucumber and cherry tomatoes on a bed of greens. Can choose either a sesame or onion dressing. The sashimi is decently fresh. Not bad for a quick light meal

Opened beside Sushi Tei (and is operated under Sushi Tei), i definitely will visit this store instead... given its decent quality and more importantly... price!

Aburi Salmon Mentaiko Don ($10.90)
Tori Karaage ($4.50)

Overall average in terms of price and taste. The don was a tad salty as there was soya sauce pre-added to the rice; while the tori karaage was a bit dry.

Located at Vivocity near Sushi Tei. Decently priced Japanese food! Not the most fantastic but enough to satisfy any cravings you may have.
