Sushi SEIZAN
Authentic Japanese restaurant
👍👍 This restaurant is the very definition of "hidden find". We barely managed to find this place amidst the sea of eyelash and nail salons on the 3rd floor of Bugis Cube. But once you enter the restaurant, you are immediately transported into a different world. The restaurant is a small, 6-seater "hol...

👍 Good service, had the $100 lunch menu(7course) and everything was good but lacks a star dish to make it 5 stars! But I liked the tempura the best! Overall still worth to visit, 4.5 stars!

Maetomo Japanese cuisine Kaiseki & Sushi
Restaurant
👍 It’s a good place if you can afford it. You will need to drop $180 just to open the door with set menu so be prepared. Once you are in, you will have a very authentic Japanese experience with chef Tomo who will take great care of you and won’t leave anything to chance. You will get explanation of se...

Nishikane (Kappo Omakase Restaurant)
Authentic Japanese restaurant
👍👍 Getting (am already) popular, you definitely need advance booking. Dinner reservation is full till Jan (now is nov). This is a single seating so you don’t feel rush.

Ashino
Sushi restaurant
🫤 While there are some fish that taste good, there isn’t a variety of fishes served. With the 400 per person set, there isn’t any wagyu/beef, crab or lobster, mostly white fish. Also, the difference of sushi served compared to 450 per person set is too vast with only 50 dollar difference. We were told...

Kappou
Authentic Japanese restaurant
😐 I enjoyed a lot of the food and really wanted to like this place with a female chef at the head but 4 hours for a meal is just really unsatisfying. The wait times between dishes that could’ve been whipped up much faster was far from enjoyable. My husband and I arrived at 7pm with many guests arrivi...

YOSHI Restaurant
Japanese restaurant
👍👍 Always a pleasure to dine here. Chef Yoshiyuki's perfect balance of flavours is something which we have not found elsewhere. There are many other restaurants which serve similar fare but none come close to achieving the same level of flavor synthesis from the thesis and antithesis of the primary in...
