The shoyu one really kind of resembles a piping hot claypot of hokkien mee, right? Noodles are good and chewy. The charsiew is kind of average and needs improvement.
In short, it was nice, but also disorienting. The sort of feeling that makes you want some food that anchors yourself. So it’s a good thing Jurong’s got plenty such places – places like Tonkotsu Kazan.
For a slow enjoyment, choose to enjoy this lunch set as a kaiseki-style omakase, where each dish will be served one by one, or get them served together at once for that Insta-worthy photo op!

I should try their DIY temaki set one day.
Maji Curry is one of those places that I kinda liked enough to go back to, and yet didn't like so much to actually make it there. Well, today we went there out of convenience, and it did the job. Actually, I prefer a slightly thinner curry, but I suppose the bold and thick nature of it is exactly what makes this place stand out.
The aburi scallop sushi is rather pricey and I'd recommend the Genki sushi version where 3 hotate sushi is only about $5+.
The competitive prices at Hatsu against other Japanese Omakase concepts in Singapore makes it an attractive one to return. The casual setting is unpretentious and you can expect fresh ingredients used here, along with stronger flavour profiles across the dishes as opposed to the more traditional Japanese omakase concepts. A destination dining worth trying.
the quality of their tempura batter wasn't anything to get excited about, and I don't really plan to go back.
Miso soup was a bore as well. I had difficulty identifying it as miso especially with the flavour from the salmon muddling it.
