Megumi Japanese Restaurant (Lodge 77)

⭐️ 4/5 ⭐️
🍴Satisfying and hearty chirashi bowl that came with thick (I repeat thick) slices of sashimi. The salmon, tuna, hamachi (yellowtail), and mekajiki (swordfish) were fresh and juicy. We were less impressed by the crabstick, and the octopus that was tough and difficult to chew through (would have appreciated it softer/ perhaps grilled). That aside, we liked the toppings of salty seasoning and sweet salmon flakes that paired well with the moist sushi rice. Would say it’s an overall enjoyable bowl at a relatively decent price point.

After walking through tons of cafes in that district, lies this unassuming japanese restaurant. No frills at all, the pink signboard was what made me found the place.

I was craving for soupy food so I went with beef shabu shabu. The menu had almost no detail about it, I wished it had more description.

When it came the marbling of the beef slices got us all looking at it in awe 🥩 🍲 Thinly sliced beef, accompanied with mushroom, tofu and an assortment of vegetables which are already in claypot.

Beef definitely of better quality, portion of each slice substantial and satisfying. Lives up to being the limelight here.

Nabe itself can have more depth to it by having more of different ingredients in it, making it an even more well rounded dish.

Both Kazan guy don and unagi don ($16.80++) were tasty and generously portioned. The only improvement I hope to see is for the restaurant to provide miso soup or a small salad or some pickles along with their dons.

Good portions of fish and delicious mentai. Rice portion not so big, but great deal with the 1 for 1!

Overall was good except tuna
Service staff r friendly and professional
