The sticky date pudding was good (as usual) but the chai was a huge disappointment! Prana chai is quite a good blend but for some reason this tasted like milk and honey with some spice from the cinnamon stick. If you look at the picture, it’s really light like milk and it basically never got any darker. Such a pity honestly

Had the waffles and ice cream here and it was decent - waffles weren’t great but weren’t too bad, while the ice cream was pretty good (it’s Anderson’s iirc).

I paid $12.90 for this + a cup of tea (tea came very dark and I suspect it was prepared first and just left to sit until the waffles were ready).

I’ve been here twice and have been happy each time. Service is pretty fast (though oddly enough, they serve the dessert the before the mains the first time I was here), the portion sizes are huge and it tastes pretty good. The menu focuses on Taiwanese and Japanese food. Price-wise, it’s a bit more expensive than say, Let’s Eat (in the nearby district) but the prices are not unreasonable, less than RM30 for most main dishes.

It’s always a good sign when a shop really specialises in something. Had the beef sukiyaki Don ($14.90) and it was very good - the beef was tender and cooked to the done-ness I wanted, the portion sizes are big, and the sides were tasty.

This place is a small, so everyone in your group needs to be here to be seated, something to note if you have friends who might be late.

Came here with my friends and had a blast! Everything was really flavourful, especially the crispy beef tripe, matoke (plantain and peanut butter stew) and their coconut rice (the rice is amazing!!)

Just one thing to note: most of the mains are spicy, especially the pork stew! I’m a wuss so I stuck to the matoke, but even friends who could take spicy food found the pork stew to be very spicy.

I would still come back though! The food is delicious, I’ll just have to check how spicy things are before ordering.

I’ve come here twice and have been satisfied both times! Ordered the truffle Chirashi Don (pictured) and the Kaki Chirashi don and found the sashimi to be fresh both times. Portion sizes are quite big too - each don comes with salad and miso soup.

The shop isn’t very big, so expect a bit of a wait if you come here during peak period. On the bright side, you can order your food while waiting, so you’ll be served very quickly once you are seated.

Have been here several times and have always been happy with the taste of the food (the curry is spicier than in Japan but that’s to be expected). Apart from yakitori, there’s a good selection of donburi and side dishes.

The restaurant is always crowded but it’s easy to get a seat, especially if you come alone. This place is also popular with Japanese people, a good sign that the food is authentic (:

Tried the $58 omakase. We arrived around 8pm and the waitress asked if they could serve us a bit faster than usual since the last order is at 9pm. We ended up finishing in an hour but didn’t feel rushed.

my three favourite dishes of this omakase were:

- mentaiko lobster: loved the mentaiko sauce. Wish this came with something to help dig the meat out, and wish the meat was more moist but overall really liked this!
- beef tenderloin: well flavoured, tender and juicy
- truffle yellowtail sushi: truffle was distinct and well balanced with the taste of the fish

Overall, we were really happy with our experience!

We were really excited to try this one, but sadly some of the dishes fell short.

The good:
- the crab sandwich with tomato bread tasted like a pizza and I quite liked it!
- Earl grey macaron was flavourful
- mochi tasted authentic
- yudachi tart provided citrus notes that made the sweets feel a bit refreshing (though I feel the cream on top tempered the citrus notes a bit too much)
- the sparkling tea was light and fruity

The bad:
- smoked trout sandwich tasted like smoked salmon on white bread. I didn’t get the wasabi flavour either
- moist chocolate cake was not moist and the chocolate tasted very light
- marbled cheesecake was meh (and we didn’t really see the marbling). Think my fav part of the marble cheesecake was the chocolate swirl on top.

Overall, while I enjoyed the concept and some elements of the tea, the execution of the others could have been improved

Tried their Like set today and really enjoyed it! I was initially a bit unsure if 150g would be enough meat but it turned out to be just right. We also appreciated the fact that their grills are designed in such a way that the smell of the grill doesn’t stick to your clothes.

The only thing is that the grills are a bit small, and if you come in a group of 5, you’ll only have 2 grills at the table and that may cause issues during the meal.

I liked the minced mushrooms here, but apart from that it seemed like a pretty normal eggs Benedict. I liked it, but not enough to justify the price.

Can’t really tell what’s so special about the pork 🙈🙈🙈 but the tonkatsu was crispy and the curry flavourful. I liked that there was enough curry for all the rice.
