Looking for Japanese places?

Pretty great matcha soft-serve ice cream for $5.90, although the ice cream is on the sweeter side rather than on the bitter side. Serving size is pretty decent as well, although the cafe is already pretty cold and the ice cream just makes you feel even colder 😅😅

A classic done right, their Beef Shabu Ricebowl ($13.50) was a comforting hug with the sweet and savoury flavours. Think beef slices with diced spam, enoki, sweet sliced onions, Hanjuku Egg, and furikake on a steamy bed of rice. Prepared with their housemade kombu dashi broth, the short rib slices were thin and tender. Love the soft spam cubes adding little bursts of saltiness.

Packing a bit of heat from the spiced mayo, their Tori Karaage Ricebowl ($10) was surprisingly good. The umami mix of their kombu and sambal mayo dressing really jazzing up the flavours of the bowl and provided a unique twist from the typical Japanese-style sauces. The chunks of Japanese fried chicken were well-executed as well. The battered exterior wasn’t too thick, and I am happy to report that the meat was still moist and juicy.

Had my family’s meals settled for the day with an order from sando! Off their lunch menu, the Menchi Katsu Sando ($11.00) was quite the hefty number. Sandwiched between toasted Shokupan buns, the deep-fried panko-breaded minced pork patty was thick, well-seasoned, and not too greasy. The choice of arugula, sliced tomatoes, and Japanese tar-tar were also great to balance out the heavier flavours of the succulent patty.

Stacked with smashed avocado, overeasy egg, and greens, their Yuzu Yakitori Sando ($11.00) was a little more saucy with the alioli. Marinated with yuzu-pepper, the pieces of chicken thighs were lightly perfumed with the citrusy notes and held the familiar grilled-smoky flavour of yakitori. However, I found the protein to be a tad dry alone. Hence, the Furikake Garlic Aioli really helped and it added a nice punch.

Oh and I paired the sandwiches with their Royal Milk Tea ($5)! A pretty solid cup of freshly brewed Japanese milk tea, the smooth concoction was fragrant and not overly milky or sweet.

I enjoyed the donburi bowl but would not have minded skipping over the yakitori skewers (my friend commented it was similar to the frozen ones she gets from the supermarket).

Miso soup, salad and tea were nice but really not anything out of the ordinary. You can get better donburis elsewhere for an equivalent price but without the ancillary sides and some may prefer that.

Opening 2 months ago, this restaurant specialises in Chinese-Korean fusion dishes ranging from Grilled Fish to other exotic dishes. Dig into their Set for 2 ($20) which comes with 2 servings of roast fish and spicy frog leg for sharing!

Find this new kid on the block along Trengganu Street in Chinatown for a good ole' time of exquisite sake and umami Japanese bites! Pop by for lunch and take your pick from their Pot Stickers Curry Don ($14.90), classic Kaarage Chicken Don ($12.90) with sweet soy glaze and crowd favourite Gyu Don ($13.90) for thinly sliced beef and onsen egg. If you're up for a fusion, their Udon Aglio ($12.50) might just be for you — think thin udon sauteed with konbu, garlic, tomato, mushroom, butter and nori.

It’s been awhile since my last visit to Ippudo for their ramen. Was at River Valley area and decided to come here for some ramen craving.

The Tao Kuro features a thick, chewy noodle; which you could choose the hardness. It is served in their original tonkotsu broth, topped with slices of pork belly chashu, flavoured black fungus, lots of spring onion and umami-dama (a special blend of miso paste and garlic oil).

We are first time here at Kazoku and our first time redeem deal 1 for 1 from Burple! It's was worth it! We had ordered a few dishes and the was nice, (no service charge and GST as well)
Definitely will come back again.
Thank you.🙏😊
