Overall lunch set portion is quite generous. We were so full towards the end. People with big appetites will enjoy this set lunch.

This has been a stellar experience: food, service and ambience.
The Ultima Wagyu Sashimi features a platter of Japanese Murasaki Uni, Tataki Miyazaki A5 Wagyu with Siberian Caviar, a shot of Mozuku Algae, and Japanese Seasonal Sashimi.
UNI Gallery by OosterBay, known for one of the most treasured Japanese delicacy - sea urchin.
A brick-and-mortar expansion by OosterBay, Uni Gallery offers possibly the largest variety of fine quality uni, alongside with sashimi and other fresh seafood.
Recommended by The Ranting Panda. The Japanese Dashi Noodle was a nice light ramen. The dashi broth was light and refreshing, yet savoury and slightly porky and oily with hints of citrus. Both the pork and duck cha shu were flavourful, with the pork carrying some smokiness from being torched. The noodles were springy with bite. Nice comforting bowl.
The Place Hailing from Kobe, Japan, a visit to Enishi Singapore at International Plaza is a must if you love a good bowl of ramen – just avoid weekday lunch hours when the restaurant can be very bu…
How exactly was it different you might wonder? Different enough that I regretted ordering the 'special' bowl for the extra ingredients.
The trip to Koma was spectacular and upon entrance, it gave diners a feel of being instantly transported to Kyoto at the instance.
One of the most talked about restaurants at Marina Bay Sands is Koma. It’s a Japanese Fusion style restaurant with very Instagrammable photo opportunities. We chose to make a reservation for our wedding anniversary here and we were not dissappointed!

This was just reminiscent of the time when we were in Tokyo, a time when we could travel freely.
Japan Rail Café is operating by East Japan Railway Company gives buyers to purchase exchange orders for JR passes before their trips.
The tanginess and tartness of the yuzu combined the mild sweetness of the yogurt make for a refreshing palate cleanser. It’s perfect in-between dishes or just as a way to wrap up a good meal with your pals!
I like the Iced Honey Yucha Soda ($5.80) at Kogane Yama which is packed with heaps of antioxidants and is also great to combat the heat.
With hearty, delicious Japanese bowls, that deliver on both quality and affordability with a wide variety of options to choose from, this homegrown restaurant brand is bound to be a hit among diners.
Kinki Restaurant + Bar’s Bottomless Brunch (S$68 on Saturdays and Public Holidays) offers unlimited a la carte servings of sushi, sashimi, maki, hot and cold Japanese favourites, and desserts.
I would highly recommend the AC/DC Dynamite ($22) for an explosion of flavours.
Kinki Restaurant + Bar is great for people who just want some delicious bites along with beautiful views and good ambience or just to let your hair down after a day of hard work.
Keyaki Weekend Brunch Review at Pan Pacific Singapore Hotel - $75++, 9 course, sashimi, teppanyaki, grilled prawns, dessert ..
Overall, I visited the restaurant with pretty high expectations which were not met at all with the exception of the very picturesque garden perfect for that nice photo to reminisce about travelling in Japan.
Nonetheless, for $75+++, this 8 course brunch is quite worth it. Not quite exquisite, but quality Japanese food.
Soba made with natural ingredients and no MSG. Between the hot and cold versions of soba, my preference will be the warm broth as I felt its more stomach-comforting and flavourful. For those who prefer to have rice, they do have some menu items with rice too.
Another Hidden Gem 💎 I discovered at Tanjong Pagar, Tokyo Soba used to be located in a hole in a wall small shop but has since expanded and taken over 2 units across them.
Was looking for something that wouldn't sit down heavy so a cold soba was usually the quick fix for that.
If you've yet to try the seasonal Spring Tendon by Tendon Kohaku, you have a few days left to do so before the brand-new Aka-Fuji Summer Spicy Tendon takes over!
It's happily worth the indulgence. Go for it! Itadakishimsu! :D
Kohaku always comes to mind when I am nursing a tendon craving but...the queues put me off.
Millenia Walk, 9 Raffles Boulevard, #02-12/13, Singapore 039596, open Mon to Sun 11:45am to 2:30pm, 5:45 to 9:30pm
Service at Tomi Sushi is polite, efficient, attentive, and professional; well suited for a fine dining establishment, even though they're actually a casual dining place.
The final item of the UOB birthday treat at Shinji Carlton Hotel was another memorable piece – the super sweet Japanese melon.
Shinji by Kanesaka Raffles Hotel is done up like a typical sushi restaurant in Japan. Simple light wood finish all round. We were seated at a long counter that accommodates about 16 customers.

Service at Syohachi Yakiniku is professional and efficient. Staff are adept at fulfilling orders quickly, cleaning away empty / finished plates proactively, and also actively observing and topping up drinks as needed.
Overall, I think the food here is fresh and above average. Although the ventilation here can be improved, I think it is much better than some of the Korean barbecue joints that I frequent where I step out of the restaurant smelling like smoked bacon. Not that smoked bacon is a bad thing.
For diners with a hearty appetite, Syohachi is the place to go for a good yakiniku buffet in Singapore.
This bowl from Kuro Maguro was good that I inhaled it in short order.
Worth the splurge and until the next splurge I'd be dreaming up that bowl of tuna belly and rice.
We enjoyed it. But I suppose there's other collars that wouldn't cost so much for so little which represents better value.
A place where Unagi lovers need to check out in Guoco Tower. Unatoto is a popular Unagi Don chain in Japan.
Dinner venue was at the SBCD Korean Tofu House branch in Guoco Tower and while there wasn't a queue; the situation at its next door neighbor, Unatoto, was vastly different, with about 20 persons in line!
Besides eel dishes, there are also some side dishes at Unatoto Singapore. We tried the rolled egg and chawanmushi. Both were good and we would certainly be happy to order them again.
A fancy bar dining option, head here for a pseudo Waku Ghin experience if you are not able to snag a table at the Chef’s Table.
One of the most famous chefs in Australia, Chef Tetsuya Wakuda is a Japanese-born Australian chef based in Sydney, Australia.
What happened to enjoying the ambience and food? I wish there was an option to pay for silence.
Somehow Coco Ichibanya ranks tops for me and Japanese Curry, SAMA comes a close second.
I liked the savory base and tender meat. I should go eat at Suage more often too.
The shop is clean and spacious, and is open on Saturday as well. Place your order at the counter and choose the mains, then soup base and finally the spice level before making payment. Ice water is complimentary.
I wouldn’t mind eating here again.
Una Una @ Bugis+ delivers on its promise.
I was surprised to find bite-size Fukuoka style Gyoza here. The skin was not as thin compared to those that I had in Fukuoka, but the crisp skirt was good enough for me.
I wouldn't go as far as to say that they're mediocre but it didn't give me a reason to come back.
Tasty and unique. The portion was huge with lots of ingredients, definitely worth every single cent of it. I can’t wait to go back for Tomato King again!
Renga-Ya at CHIJMES serves good quality wagyu beef at reasonable prices. Its menu also offers a fair variety of dishes besides beef. It is a nice downtown spot for solo dining, an intimate meal for two or group gathering.
This is the second time I tried them and they are even better than the first time.
Their sliced gyutan was from Australian wagyu. Delicious stuff.
