Review Date: 08 Feb 2008
6 Raffles Boulevard, #02-03 Marina Square, Singapore
More variety than Kaisan

Just a little background .... The restaurant is opened and helmed by ex-Kaisan chef. He expanded the size of the place so there could be more cooking and robatayaki. Its location in a more secluded part of Marina Square makes it difficult to find at first but worth it. The 1-for-1 promo is definitely a good deal and the set lunches are indeed value for money at only $15 (promo price; regular price is $22-28). There are private rooms too, if you expect your company to be rowdy; no corkage charges if you BYOW.

I like to sit by the counter to see the chefs in action. They are all previously trained in top restaurants and hotels and very friendly. So eating sushi and talking trash is a nice way to chill on a Friday evening for me.

If you are on budget, either go for one of their bento sets, or give your budget to the chef and go omakase. You won't regret it. I usually start with fresh veggie sticks and a miso dip. Salad with sakura ebi and a sesame dressing is quite nice. Then there is this leatherfish jerky that goes really well with a cup of sake. Get the waitress manager to recommend one for you - she is good!

The sushi is small on the rice that is nicely seasoned and moist but big on the neta that is fresh. If the ingredients are fresh, then Chef makes me his special uni toro handroll. YUMS!

Their fish soup is usually good - sweet and you feel healthy after drinking it.

After all that healthy food, you can end off with a scoop of their black sesame ice cream that is unusally smooth and thick and creamy. Like, 99% ground black sesame frozen! If that is not your thing, go for the matcha ice cream with red bean paste. That is good as well. But if you are greedy like me, ask for both and shock the chef. Hee hee.

 
Must Tries: omakase, negi toro uni sushi
