Kei Kaisendon (Paya Lebar Square)

Visited the place during dinner time! The place is small and there were no seats, so the staff seated us at the tables inside Kajiken instead (1 shop down, beside Onkei Tonkatsu). Seems like the three eateries are affiliated~

There was no yakitori available on that day so the staff allowed us to replace it with their usual other sides, and we opted for the mentai hotate and mentai tamago (not pictured because we already ate them 🤣). Both were quite nice!

BB set comes with a don of your choice, salad, free-flow hot/cold green tea and miso soup. The chirashi don has a sizeable portion of mixed sashimi however there’s also non-sashimi items inside (cooked prawn and japanese scallop). Interesting additions but my personal preference would be for the mixed sashimi to have more sashimi varieties and less octopus 🐙

Paid $38 for this 1-1 deal. Pretty decent and fresh chirashi bowl for the price, got 1 mentaiko and 1 normal. Set comes with green tea, salad and yakitori. Very filling meal even though the chirashi bowl looks small. Will not pay full price for this though, as the food quality is very much average, but it’s value for money for the burpple price paid.

Place was very small and squeezy, ambience is poor especially if you want to sit there and chill. This is more for a takeaway/ “fast food” joint. Staff was friendly though, and offered us a seat at the tonkatsu place beside (which was relatively more spacious). Service was good.

The place is pretty small but the waitress is very helpful to get us a table next door selling tonkatsu. (I think they are under the same company)
Ordered 2 sets of the same item.
Pricing is around $38 for 2 sets.

So far I have experienced positive service experience over at this Paya Lebar outlet as this is not the first outlet which I have gone to.

Will be back again :)

note that each branch charges differently for burpple’s set! at woodlands we paid $31.99 and at paya lebar square it’s $38.70 :( pictured is 4 sticks of yakitori, salmon mentaiko don, unagi don, 2 bowls of miso soup, 2 small salads, and 2 iced green teas! can opt for hot if so desired. although the seating is kinda poor here the food is realllllyyy goooddd just as good or nicer than our common japanese restaurants

after GST and SVC charge $35.20

the guy said "burpple again" when I said I would be using burpple.

portion slightly lesser than other branch where I had the same set.
not the best kaisendon but considered not bad for this price.
the yakitori not amazing but at least tender. miso soup is okay.

The shop looks modest but the food is good! With the Burpple deal is very value for money as the deal comes with a main dish, salad, soup (the soup is not just normal miso soup but has clams and mushrooms, really tasteful), 2 skewers and a hot green tea. The Sashimi is fresh, we also tried the Unagi which is good as well. Would highly recommend this place!
