Elegant, understated dining room - not open like at ion Orchard. The food is innovative and quite good, albeit not reaching any wow level. Service staff are all friendly and helpful. Not sure about the kitchen staff, as the wait for the food can take forever, which is understandable for my Kurobota char siew, but also for the pastas or egg & sausage brunch dishes of neighbouring patrons. Pricey for a non-fine dining restaurant; worth it only with the Entertainer 1-for-1 offer.
Mine is the standard aburi sushi set, which includes 2 spicy pieces which I didn't quite like. But the rest were really yummy!
His is all salmon aburi, which came in 5 pieces + 1 piece of egg. Nice!
Because baby wanted to have something good, we are back here again for their aburi sushi!
Part of my Rainbow Sashimi Set (S$38.60++). The thick cut sashimi's really fresh! It comes with Japanese seaweed, which are the dark green and the pink coloured ones. The pink coloured ones tasted like strawberry haha! I was told they even sell it as a whole plate of dish itself.
We are back at Rakuichi again, but this time for their lunch. A different appetizer was served this time round - fried beancurd skin in salad style. Mixed with sour-sweet sauce, definitely makes for a good starter.
At S$8/ piece for scallop aburi and S$5/piece for salmon aburi, they certainly doesn't come cheap, but is exceptionally delicious! 😋😋
Drizzled with teriyaki sauce, it was beautifully done, making the meat tender and juicy.
