Donburis

Didn’t expect such a huge bowl when I first got the 𝘾𝙝𝙞𝙧𝙖𝙨𝙝𝙞 𝙆𝙖𝙞𝙨𝙚𝙣𝙙𝙤𝙣 (~$26.90). My stack of sashimi with squid, salmon,unagi , shrimp, abalone etc seemed never ending — not like I’m complaining 🤪 For the price and the freshness, I really can’t find a fault.

Never tried 𝙀𝙗𝙞 𝙈𝙚𝙣𝙩𝙖𝙞 𝙆𝙖𝙞𝙨𝙚𝙣𝙙𝙤𝙣 (~$19.90) but now I have and omg flamed sweet ebi.... sign me UP 😤😤 Was sum
juicyYyY stuff though I wish the mentaiko mayo was thicker and a tad bit heavier. 🦐

Ig @goodfomood

Their 𝙒𝙖𝙜𝙮𝙪 𝘿𝙤𝙣 (~$32) was a tad dry and could do with more yakiniku sauce, but the addition of garlic chips played well in this.

Ig @goodfomood

𝙊𝙧𝙞𝙜𝙞𝙣𝙖𝙡 𝙋𝙤𝙠𝙚 𝘽𝙤𝙬𝙡 (~$17) left me with mixed feelings. The addition of candied cashews was genius — sweet and salty against the creamy guacamole and cold sashimi, but the salmon wasn’t the freshest to be frank. Not sure if this poke bowl justified the price tag 🤔

For the Budget interactive beef donburi experience. You get the 𝘽𝙚𝙚𝙛 𝙎𝙪𝙠𝙞𝙮𝙖𝙠𝙞 𝘿𝙤𝙣 (~$14.90) cooked in front of you, and with sides to match up, this was real value for money.🍚
-
A tad bit tough (perhaps request for your beef to be less done) but getting the sweet-savoury profile right, slices upon slices of beef and fluffy Kohshihikari rice made my dinner. 🥺
-
Special mention to the chawanmushi too: crazy smooth and regular custardy texture; yes, no watery lumpy chawan!!! 🍳🍳

𝙐𝙣𝙖𝙜𝙞 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙎𝙖𝙡𝙢𝙤𝙣 𝙄𝙠𝙪𝙧𝙖 𝙙𝙤𝙣 (~$32.80) was perhaps a better option, as the Ikura served as bursts of oily umami flavouring against the sweeter Unagi.

Ig @goodfomood

𝙐𝙣𝙖𝙜𝙞 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙒𝙖𝙜𝙮𝙪 𝙗𝙚𝙚𝙛 𝙙𝙤𝙣 (~$45.60) presented juicy Wagyu slices beside a half Unagi. While it sat pretty in the rice box, the Unagi lacked the smoky charred burnt flavour I love. 😕 Drizzled with sweet Unagi sauce, spoonfuls of plump and oily Unagi mixed in well with the multi-grain rice.
.
The Wagyu beef lacked flavour, and definitely could do with garlic chips or seasoning 🍱

Ig @goodfomood

frankly, I don’t get the hype. I don’t mind eating the 𝘼𝙗𝙪𝙧𝙞 𝘽𝙪𝙩𝙖 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙐𝙣𝙖𝙜𝙞 𝘾𝙤𝙢𝙗𝙤 𝙅𝙮𝙪 (~$18), but I don’t see myself craving it.
-
Plump and meaty, the Unagi could almost be good. But with the overwhelming marinade and the heavy oiliness of the Unagi fighting for flavour dominance, I couldn’t enjoy this as much. 🍱
-
For a lean cut, my pork was rather fatty, with layers of fat embedded into the lean meat. For some strange reason, the marinade worked better here, and if it wasn’t soggy by the time I ate this, I would’ve enjoyed it more 😭

Ig @goodfomood

Survived the jam break during the 10 min ride OTW home and still looking pretty, the 𝙏𝙧𝙪𝙛𝙛𝙡𝙚 𝙒𝙖𝙜𝙮𝙪 𝘿𝙤𝙣𝙗𝙪𝙧𝙞 (~$38) with Ikura (+~$15) was crazily addictive. With melt in your mouth Wagyu, truffle slices and perfect grains of Japanese rice, idk what else you’d want in life tbh.
-
The Ikura was definitely worth the top up, the umami worked extremely well with the ingredients here.

Ig @goodfomood

With a generous portion of not too fatty beef, the 𝘽𝙚𝙚𝙛 𝙔𝙖𝙠𝙞𝙣𝙞𝙠𝙪 (~$18) had potential. Perhaps consider drenching and mixing the rice with sweet sauce — it was rather dry and clumpy. 🍚

Ig @goodfomood

The 𝙍𝙞𝙗𝙚𝙮𝙚 𝙗𝙤𝙬𝙡 (~$17) was pretty good, hitting all the right spots with the well seasoned generous portion of Angus sirloin, though I can’t say the same about the eggs.,,.. 😟

Ig @goodfomood

The 𝘼𝙗𝙪𝙧𝙞 𝙎𝙘𝙖𝙡𝙡𝙤𝙥 𝙎𝙖𝙡𝙢𝙤𝙣 𝘿𝙤𝙣 (~$17) is hands down my go to bowl. Chunks of lightly torched salmon were soft to the bite, and the scallop flavoured well with an apparent truffle paste. 🍣
