Super happy we chose to eat here!! They’re very keen to detail from interior to food, how they serve it, and how it was prepared. Flavors were unique and amazed us!! Staffs (Charm and Florence) were super hospitable and friendly too. Will definitely go back here!

Stopped by for a light lunch. On a friend’s recommendation, I ordered the duck soba, which came with an appetizer and dipping sauce, making it a satisfying meal. The restaurant was clean, and the staff provided excellent service. I’d love to try their highly rated sushi next time.

Overall, the quality of food and ambience doesn’t equate the prices! We spent 2,500 per head.

Resto is hot! Airconditioning doesn’t work too well. And there were flies in food and flying around us (see picture).

Quality of food isn’t good for the price. Best item, if we had to choose, was the Katsu sando. Katsudon and other items - Not worth it. Better off at Ginza next door!

Service is also quite slow but staff is kind.

Food

Edamame - this was a bit salty if eaten on its own

Yushoken Gyoza - one of the best gyozas we've eaten. Their gyoza has soup inside like xiao long paos.

Karai Niku Soba - very umami and flavorful dipping soba. Big serving, good for 2 for those with smaller appetites. In the end it may get umay to eat. If you are not a fan of spicy food, you may request for them to make it milder.

Curry Udon - good curry, very umami. Their 1/2 serving is good for 1 person, if you don't have a big appetite. In the end it can be a bit umay.

Chawan Mushi - Chawan Mushi included in the sets is good. Not much fillings inside but the flavors are all there - very umami with a hint of lemon zest.

Temaki Unagi Kyuri - it was so-so. The seaweed was not crunchy when I ate it, so it was a bit disappointing.

Bara Chirashi - they were generous with the toppings. If you do not have a big appetite, you can this with someone. We requested ours to be split into two.

Matcha Parfait - the toppings and ice cream were generous. Our go to dessert

Service
1st time we ate here was on a Saturday lunch. Their service was good and orderly.
2nd (Sunday lunch) and 3rd (Saturday lunch) times were not so good. They were all over the place and sometimes we had to follow up our orders. There was one time we requested for coffee and had to wait for 15 minutes. It was only served after following up with them, it looked like they forgot about it.
Service is also a bit inconsistent. 1st and 2nd visits we were given wet hand towels. But on the 3rd visit, we were not.

Making a reservation thru their Viber was really easy and convenient.

Atmosphere
During peak hours, the restaurant can get a bit noisy.

Visit on: 8 Dec 2024
Must make reservations before attending during peak hours to avoid disappointment.

Very recommend
1. Katsu Curry rice with spicy level 4.5 (with chilli padi) for those like spicy food.
2. Gyoza, golden skin
3. The sashimi in freshness and serving size is superb.
4. Aburi sushi and temaki also must.
Last, the dessert matcha ice cream with red bean topping is not disappointed.
Restaurant with clean washroom is a bonus.
