[CLOSED] Kanpai Izakaya & Bar

got a pork katsu don and chicken katsu don. (apparently 1 for 1 is only applicable for these). both were a little too salty for my liking.

however, the biggest turn off was the staffs being extremely unfriendly, maybe just a bad day? idk

I love unagi and this was good but not one of the better ones I have tried. It would be good to have more unagi (there were too much rice imo) as well.

Utilized BB 1 for 1 so it was worth ($10/pax before GST & svc charges) but wouldn’t pay the full price for it... Do note that the deal is only applicable for donburi but the menu is not as extensive irl as compared to what was shown online as q a few were marked out. There was also no wagyu beef donburi which we wanted to try when we went yesterday.

The chirashi is decent, yet nothing extraordinary. The fish roe given is generous, the sashimi are fresh, however, the portion is not as huge as I expected as it is quite pricey ($22); compared to the other dishes.

For 1-for-1 offer, it is not a bad option, but I would not go for a full-price. I would think twice if I would like to visit again! Especially if the service team is still not friendly as per what I experienced during my first visit.

We came back for the garlic fried rice! It was a little bit bitter because the garlic was over cooked, too bad (ToT)
We didn't like the citrus sauce on the cold ramen (Hiyashi chukka) $14++ and neither did we like the minced pork on the tantan tofu salad $12++.
We will keep coming back for their garlic fried rice !

Generous portion of grilled eel $20++ and wagyu beef $20++ given 👍
Garlic fried rice $6++ was really unforgettable ! Will definitely come back for more of it.
$5++ for 4 pieces of mushroom, not worth it 😅

Super thick cuts of sashimi served generously, loved the octopus and squid(?) sashimi. Topped with really flavourful ebiko special to this Izakaya, what else can u ask for? Definitely worth the travel down to Holland Village! Will return!
