Instead of plain Japanese rice, the chef has seasoned the rice with dashi for a more vibrant taste complementing the various ingredients of the rice bowl lunch sets.
Other than the value for money Omakase set, the main differentiating trait at Southpaw from other Japanese restaurants is the personalised and homely service by owner Roy and his tight crew. Southpaw is a pleasant surprise.
Not all of it is going to blow your mind, but congregate with your besties at this fuss-free joint and it will be pretty much a guaranteed good time.
Southpaw Bar & Sushi in Cavan Road, Lavender is an intimate 12 seater California-styled sushi bar offering unorthodox pairing of Whiskey with Japanese food.
Southpaw Bar & Sushi is a modern Cali-styled sushi bar that serves up affordable omakase dinners available in three different price ranges as well as an unconventional whisky and sushi pairing. Set in Cavan Suites at Jalan Besar, this brand new dinner-only outfit will have you fed very well.
The restaurant is small and informal – the sushi counter and dining tables are merged.
The entire meal was kind of quiet actually. Perhaps I went on a wrong timing or day.
On the whole, we enjoyed ourselves very much. It is a cozy, almost homely environment; we were served by sincere and dedicated staff; the food was good; and the whiskey warmed our stomachs. What else can anyone ask for?
