More Reviews of good food at Tokyo Joe

Generally I would say that the standard of food at Tokyo Joe is average. Tried the signature joe maki for the first time other than trying their donburis. Rice was soft and chewy, wrapping the tempura prawn in it. Topped with torched salmon slices, finished off with mentaiko sauce and flying fish roe. Though being a seafood sushi roll, it was not fishy. However the size of each maki piece was a little small, and for the same price, there’s probably other bigger and more flavourful maki rolls offered elsewhere.

Came here for Burpple beyond 1-1 deal after reading the reviews. Was however disappointed to know that all beef and unagi bowls are no longer included in the deal. Both salmon chirashi & salmon teriyaki don were not very impressive but might come back again to try the wagyu bowls

Ordered the version without truffle. Since their barachirashi fish-to-rice ratio tends to be inconsistent, I'd recommend having this at Tokyo Joe instead. Slivers of beef were nothing much to shout about, but on a whole still pretty tasty with the sweetish sauce.

There was a good variety of salmon, tuna and yellowtail sashimi, mixed with sweet tamago. Only part I can’t decide on was the rice, which had a peppery taste though I would have preferred some nice vinegary sushi rice ☹️☹️ But still, well worth with the 1-for-1 deal! 🙃🙃

This delicious bowl of goodness came with thin beef slices slathered in just the right amount of sauce and onions 😋😋 It could have done with a bit more mushrooms, but the onsen egg on top of the teriyaki sauce was just nice in a 1:1 ratio. With a refreshing kick of ginger and sweet tamago on the side, this was extremely well worth especially with the 1-for-1! Truffle taste was indistinct and the Wagyu Don without the truffle is $3 cheaper and just as satisfying 😋😋 Portion was generous too and 10/10 would recommend to give this a try! 💯💯

With the burpple beyond 141 promo, this was just $8.50! It wasn’t mind blowing but for this price point, I thought it was a rather decent bowl of chirashi with 3 types of fish and tamago. I may not come back without the promo though as it was rather small.

Tokyo Joe is conveniently located just a few minutes walk away from Kent Ridge MRT so for anyone working at NUH/studying at NUS with a sashimi craving (like meeee), feel free to hit it up 😉

I actually like Tokyo Joe's barachirashi for being fairly fresh and cut into sizable cubes one can actually bite into. This one's premium version with scallops and roe. Good value with burpples 1 for 1!

Premium Bara Chirashi - $21
·
Contains: Salmon, Salmon Belly, Hon-Maguro, Hamachi,Nama Hotate, Tamago. The sushi vinegar rice is a good flavour to pair with those huge chunks of sashimi. Portion is quite generous & flavouring of sashimi is not too strong. Just feels kinda ordinary, doesn’t validate the price. But the shop do offer other more affordable ones such as Salmon Chirashi & Maki Rolls. Thank goodness that they are under Burpple Beyond which easily help shaved the bill by sharing a 1-for-1 promo with my hungry friend

Truffle Wagyu Don (S$19+)
and
Premium Bara Chirashi (S$21+)
For lunch at @TokyoJoeSG in @SavourWorldSG .
1-for-1 main with @Burpple Beyond
.
With just 1 deal, one has saved S$19+ which was more than what was paid for 1 month of the membership program.
Furthermore we used 3 deals for 4 chirashi and 2 don. That’s a saving of S$61+.
.
The wagyu don was packed with tender slices of meat and in much bigger serving, compared to the chirashi. Some felt that the truffle was a bit faint.

Enjoyed this more than the Chirashi with incredibly fresh salmon cubes in this bowl! Apparently they fillet the whole fish themselves so no frozen sashimi nonsense here. The cubes are also marinated upon every order so the delicate flavour of the fish isn't overpowered. Love the popping tobiko in every bite too, and plus points for the nicely seasoned rice.

Best part? You can use #BurppleBeyond here to get 1-for-1 bowls! 👯

As the portion given was quite big, plenty of meat and rice, my friend and I didn’t manage to finish our dons. Taste wise, the beef was a bit salty as you work through the don.

Fresh cubes of salmon, tuna, yellowtail, scallop and tamago. The rice is a little too sweet but overall it’s worth the price (during the 1-for-1 promotion).

Experienced one of the most interesting udon from @tokyojoesg during an event!
.

Tried tons of sous vide egg but didn't manage to try a sous vide chicken before! Extremely tender chicken topped above the udon covered with a clear and flavourful broth! Indeed a perfect bowl of udon🍜

Thanks @tokyojoesg for the hosting and @burpple for the invite!

Tried Tokyo Joe’s Premium Barachirashi as part of Burpple’s 1-for-1 promotion (usual price $24). Rice was hard, seafood wasn’t too fresh and sauce/seasoning wasn’t enough to our liking. But we liked the cubes of tamago in it. Overall, not very impressive and definitely not worth it if it was priced at the usual $24.

4/10

This is Tokyo Joe’s newest item on their menu, and it’s so new that they don’t even have a pricing for it yet!

It may be new, but it’s already winner winner chicken dinner. The only real problem was the grossly overcooked udon, which was pretty close to mush. However, the soy sauce based consommé was tasty and quite heartwarming, and didn’t leave me dying for water later on.

The winner was definitely the thick chunks of sous vide chicken breast. Sous vide chicken is a dime a dozen in Singapore right now, but Tokyo Joe’s version is quite easily the best round town. Shockingly smooth, marvelously moist and beautifully bouncy, those mammoth slices of chicken really didn’t feel like chicken at all.

Everyday man’s on the block just for these birds, lemme tell you that right now.

Thanks for inviting me to this event, Burpple!

Tokyo Joe, who is in no way related to Cotton-eyed Joe, serves up one stunningly sumptuous rendition of Truffled Gyudon for $22.

An abundance of shabu shabu beef that has been sliced thicker than Yoshinoya slices their bovine is sautéed with enoki mushrooms and caramelized onions in a delectably savory and slightly sweet sauce along with a liberal amount of truffle oil. The palatable pile of pleasure is then piled atop a bowl of steamy Japanese short grain rice with a perfectly poached onsen egg to hold it all together.

Quite frankly, it’s impossible to go wrong with gyudon, and Tokyo Joe does gyudon oh so right. Tender, savory slices of beef paired with mushrooms, rice, an explosive and runny onsen egg with a strong undertone of truffle all throughout? Yep, this is beefy bliss.

Thanks for the invite to this event, Burpple!

Sous Vide Chicken Udon. I think this is a unreleased dish? We were there for a @burpple event and got to try it first! I really like the sous vide chicken because it is so soft and tender! Definitely a #comfortfood with the hot shoyu broth and udon. 🍲🍜

Only gripe was the tad overcooked udon but other than that, this new hot dish stood out to me the most. Star of the bowl was definitely those slices of sous vide chicken, executed really well and tender while retaining the moistness. The shoyu broth wasn’t mind blowing but was comforting!

First stop of our Savourworld Tour landed us in Tokyo Joe for their Singnature Bara Chirashi, Truffled Gyudon and Sous Vide Chicken Udon! Their chirashi came with a good portion and variety of salmon, tuna, hamachi, scallop, tamago and fish roe. Marination leaned towards a light sweetness but just enough to not mask the natural flavours. Thought the rice was just a tad too sweet and hard for my liking though.

Thank you @savourworldsg for bringing us around on the tour and @burpple for the kind invite! 🙆🏻

Everything was pretty good but what stood out for me was the sous-vide chicken udon because the soup was comforting, noodles were smooth and the chicken had flavour plus it wasn’t dry at all! 😋
