Welcome to Somerset.

Very satisfying home style food, super efficient service. Long queues from tour groups are cleared in no time. Even non-pork eaters (Muslims, Jews, some Indians) can find their happiness here. Prices have gone up, so no longer cheap but still ok lah.

We ordered Chicken Nanban, Tempura Kanikama, Hotate w Uni Paste and Spicy Salmon. The rolls came with little plastic wrappers to prevent the seaweed from turning soggy. The seafood was fresh but the hotate handroll can be abit fishy. Each handrolls came with a good mix of texture. Would recommend to try!

We arrived 15 min before opening time, but there was still 70 min waiting, so we went to sister restaurant down the corridor, where 3 out of the 7 samgyetang specialties are not available. Ain’t cheap (count on $55 per pax), but definitely one of the best ginseng chicks you can have. Nice but slow service. The promised soup or banchan refills never arrive!

Their pork wanton & dumplings can be tabao n put in the freezer , taken out anytime to dump into Toru soup w vegetables .

The name Onori should be ringing some bells for those whom have been following us for quite a while — we had visited these folks when they had first opened their doors at Telok Ayer previously. It does seem that the folks behind the brand is ready for the brand’s expansion — they have recently opened a second outlet in the Basement 2 level of orchardgateway. Onori takes over the former premises of the now-defunct LEMOONTEA there — other notable dining establishments which one can find in the same area would be that of EatAlley. The orchardgateway location of Onori is bigger than that of their first outlet at Telok Ayer; this also means a more spacious seating area for dine-in patrons comprising of typical dining tables and chairs as well as counter seats. With the concept and the brand being heavily focused on Japanese handrolls, Onori serves up their handrolls in sets of 3s, 4s and 5s — this would come with a beverage on the side, while patrons can also opt to add a Crab Roe Chawanmushi and Nori Butter Miso Soup on the side as well. Patrons whom prefer to have the handrolls ala-carte can also get to purchase them individually as well.

We went for the Handroll Set (5 pieces) and opted for the Bay Scallops Handroll, Chicken Nanban Handroll, Chicken Tsukune Handroll, Miso Gindara (Black Cod) Handroll, and the Spicy Salmon Handroll — our choice of beverage was the Yuzu Jelly. The items in which that required a top-up above the base price for the Handroll Set (5 pieces) would be the Bay Scallops Handroll, Miso Gindara (Black Cod) Handroll and the Yuzu Jelly beverage. Amongst the handrolls that we had ordered, our favourite would be the Spicy Salmon Handroll; this would be described in the menu to come with elements such as Ikura, Mala Salmon Skin, Sesame & Chili Oil, Negi and Toasted Sesame Seeds. The Spicy Salmon Handroll is a simple handroll that would satisfy those whom especially love their sashimi bowls and sushi — the piece of seaweed does come with a plastic wrapper which all the rice and all other elements come above that patrons would need to slide out; a pretty thoughtful touch that allows for easy eating of the handroll. Here, the sushi rice does come not overly sweet and with a slight savoury note, yet firm and holds up its shape when bites are taken into it; the raw cubes of diced salmon being marinated with Sesame & Chili Oil for a savoury and fragrant note, while the Mala Salmon Skin gives a saltish crunch for textural contrast against everything else beneath — the Ikura giving a popping sensation with an umami note at the same time. Definitely a crowd pleaser, and one of the handrolls to order whilst at Onori especially if one is going for the set.

Jasmine Apple Milk Tea (S$5.90)
Jasmine needle king + red love apple juice + fresh milk
100% sugar level + less ice

Waited at least 30 minutes for the order to be ready for collection even for a weekday afternoon. Refreshing flavour but kind of too much ice cubes.

Thoughtful, warmth and generous service. The drink brought my palette to Taiwan! The chewy of the boba, fresh ingredients. What I love about here was 3 things: the the mastermind behind the mix gave a recommendation and thought through to retain the flavor while enjoy the most as my journey ride was 1.5 hours away. The cashier/manager is thoughtful to give less ice and have a heart to heart connection with customer and lastly the behind the scene brewer who prepared my drink. Grateful and will be back not only for the beverage but the quality service

($6.03) ($3.89 per 100g) I didn't know why I try this acai and know that I alr have halfway full. They got different four flavour (acai - just nice taste* ; chocolate - just strong milky taste* and still ok; soya bean - meh and i didn't know what i taste?; strawberry - faint taste? their ingredients for topping was ok but their sauce really good mah especially cookie butter.

($14.90) I didn't get chance to try it out bc probably I was too busy most of time. The crepe can be shared 2 to 3 ppl if your stomach cannot tahan creamy or sweet taste. But then its overall decent dessert for me tbh. Its quite nice tbh as the matcha cream was quite milky and creamy.

crispy & tender ！
