Japanese Food

Original wagyu beef bowl @ $22.90++

The smell of the grill on the beef was really delicious when it was served, and it tasted super delicious too! The beef was juicy and proportion of lean and fatty parts are perfect.

Requested for the egg to be omelette instead of onsen egg.

Really great and worth the price.

Cheese curry don @ $17.50++

Again, it's alright, nothing to fault but not extraordinary either. Can do with more cheese for this option, if not can just get the regular/original option.

Chestnut jowl don @ $13.50++

Overall is alright, can't say anything is bad but it's not extraordinary either. The chestnut flavour doesnt really come through as well.

Char siew (6pcs) @ $9.80++

Tasty but we think the flavour can be slightly more intense. Meat is a little on the thin side, can do with a bit more fats to lend the flavour.

Spicy lobster chirashi @ $24.80++

The Thomson plaza one is quite out of the way so we're really happy that there's now an outlet at Raffles City!

The dish is super good, love the combination of spicy with the lobster which is also served rather generously.

Definitely will be back again but need to time it well to avoid queue.

Kaisen hitsumabushi @ $18.80++

It's quite difficult to go wrong with unagi don so i would say this is quite average. Pricing was alright but would have preferred a bit more unagi and sashimi. The sashimi was alright though I wouldn't say it's super fresh.

Spicy chicken and mushroom melt @ $18

The bread is really nice.
The fillings are ok - can't really taste the spiciness but overall is good.

Some dishes might be quite expensive but might come back to try the dons next time.

Black sesame ice cream @ $6++
+ red beans @ $1++
Vanilla ice cream with purple shiso liquer (they also call it summer love) @ $12++

Black sesame is always loved. And even better with red beans.
The vanilla ice cream taste is quite strong so the liqeur taste is a little bit mild in comparison. Nice that it comes with the toppings though they're a bit much for the small ice cream. Might not pay so much just for this in the future, and just stick to the basic.

Garlic fried rice @ $8++

Super good! After 10years the taste is still the same, with the rice being super flavourful and even the spring onions makes the dish taste even better. Really love this.

Fried freshwater shrimp @ $11++

It tasted a bit bland at first but the taste was elevated after we put some of the chilli powder on it. Not sure if they meant for it to be less seasoned and for us to add the powder, or did they forget to season it. Still a great dish!

Top left: pork belly @ $6++
Top right: chicken meatball @ $3++ & chicken liver @ $2.50++
Bottom left: chicken with plum and perilla @ $4++ & ox tongue @ $4.50++
Bottom middle: scallop rolled with pork @ $6.50++ & oyster rolled with pork @ $6++ & garlic rolled with chicken skin @ $3.50++
Bottom right: asapragus rolled with pork @ $4++ & golden mushroom rolled with pork @ $3.50++ & chicken cartilage @ $4++

All are super great! The grilled food here is all very nicely seasoned and goes great with the chilli powder that they put on the table so we can put however much we want. Our favourite is the pork belly and we must order one each everytime we come (some things cannot share). They also have good variety of innards which are tasty too.

Top: Pita tofu @ $5++
Bottom: tako wasabi @ $9++
Right: dried pufferfish @ $16++

All are great and taste like how they've been 10 years ago. Although I do think the tako wasabi and dried pufferfish are a little smaller in portion.

In case you never tried pufferfish before, this tastes almost like bakkwa, super worth a try!
