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...

Jo Japanese Restaurant
Authentic Japanese restaurant
👍 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!

👍👍 Didn’t expect a meal so lovely before we went. The head chef apprenticed in Japan and the dishes are elegant, beautiful and yummy… the restaurant is a fabulous combination of traditional style and modern style… we had a very pleasant time there.

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. It’s a one standard Omakase with an open view of the kitchen. The cooking style is more Kappo style and chef entertains you with sush...

Shinji by Kanesaka
Authentic Japanese restaurant
👍 We tried the Omakase lunch set <yume> at Shinji which is located within Carlton hotel. The ingredients were fresh and nicely prepared by the chef. Overall portion was just nice and each dish was bite sized. The price is slightly high, but still considered reasonable.

Sushi Kimura
Authentic Japanese restaurant
👍 Once you have been to a place like Sushi Kimura, you can never go back to mainstream sushi anymore. Every piece of sushi are just masterfully made and Kimura San would even adjust the amount of rice in each piece to suit your liking. For the ladies with a smaller appetite, you can always ask for le...

Shinzo Japanese Cuisine
Authentic Japanese restaurant
👍👍 As someone who had experienced the likes of Sushi Dai @ Tsukiji Market and Sushi Jiro @ Roppongi, Shinzo is exceptional from start to finish. Everything is curated carefully and skillfully in order to bring you to flavour town. Even the complimentary birthday cake, a red velvet cake is not a sugar...

TORIKIN
Authentic Japanese restaurant
👍👍 Definitely loved all the dishes we ordered! Especially the homemade tofu: the texture is more like creamy pudding, which melts in the mouth; the tofu itself has rich taste of soy bean and cream cheese; the ingredients of soy sauce, seaweed and yuzu perfectly match the tofu. It was soooo nice that we...

Shoukouwa Restaurant
Authentic Japanese restaurant
👍👍 I was very fortunate to be able to dine in for the Miyabi $320 and Hana $480 lunch set. It is truly an experience to witness the chef who's also an artist and perfectionist preparing the food before you. Had a wonderful time, the ambient and setting captured the essence of omakase dining, felt lik...

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...

👍 Latest update - 27/5/2023 I must say that there is just something that pulls me back to this place. The food may not be the best, but somehow I’m back 😊 I take it as a good thing Previous update I have been wanting to come here for some time but I never managed to for one reason or another. So whe...

YOSHI 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...

👍👍 A comfortable place without travelling to central! If you live around the area, this can be a regular spot for you. Food is overall good, staff is attentive enough without constantly walking around to make you feel like you’re being watched and it’s a very comfortable space for you to sit and have...

Himawari Japanese Restaurant
Authentic Japanese restaurant
👍 ** I recommend asking for a table in the small room, it is quieter** High quality buffet - you can order as many items from the menu as you wish. We tried quite a few dishes - sashimi was good, nigiri had little rice and big slices of fish, the fried items were tasty and not oily. We particularly l...

👍 I wasn’t having much expectation when I came here. There was nothing we wanted to eat nearby so we decided to give this a try. The ordering system is fully automated. We order the set meal for 2. The waiting time for the food to be served was longer than expected. I don’t know how long I waited but...

👍 Great spot for drinks and snacks with friends. The space is cool, decor is quirky and music is 💯. The potato salad is pretty good and the skewers are quite good too. Down side: Service is insanely slow and we waited over an hour for the food to come. I would come back but I wouldn’t hurry. P.S. M...

👍👍 Momo and KK Unagi trip! Made a reservation for our Anniversary and they gave us the best seats in the house. Manager? and staff were very friendly and recommended dishes to try.
