Tried And Tested_ Japanese

Had the original mazesoba with gyoza, pork and chicken wings side!

The more accurate description should be dry thin udon in zha jiang mian style~ it’s not as jelat as I thought. Halfway through, I added the vinegar for a different flavour and I could finish the whole bowl comfortably. I prefer the original version as the spiciness from the spicy version seems to cover the taste of all the other ingredients.

The queue starts after 7pm so arrive early to beat the queue! Bonus! The staff were also really nice and friendly.

This is a truly satisfying lunch set. The chawanmushi has a nice, smooth texture and the saba was fresh and succulent! The salmon sashimi pales in comparison so order the sashimi lunch set ($24?) if you prefer sashimi.

The chef is really stern and no-nonsense type. so decide before you proceed to the cashier! 🤭

The toro Sabar sushi set comes with 2 pieces of grilled Saba sushi+2 pieces of marinade toro-saba sushi+2 pieces of matsumae style sushi+soup+pickles+tofu. If you like mackerel, you will not go wrong here! The marinade and matsumae style Saba goes really well with the ginger and rice. I could taste the unique saba fish with the fats and the sesame rice and everything goes so well together!

Plus! I ate this at 50%off as I dine on Saba day! 3/8/13/18/23/28/30/31 is shown as Saba day currently in the shop! I paid total of almost $15 after GST.

Tips: To celebrate Japan Food Town’s 2nd anniversary, they are also giving a whole day 38% off promo! Applies for the toro-saba sashimi, toro-saba sushi and the grilled toro-saba.

Definitely worth it with the promo! Time to try Sabar!!

Argh I’m hungry again now.

Yes! It’s $10 or 10.80 to be exact for this whole bowl of tendon.

[+] Includes 1 prawn, mushroom, octopus, cherry tomatoes, 2 asparagus (I think the veggie changes?) AND an onsen egg. Yes, it’s very filling.
[+] The lowest priced tendon I’ve ever eaten
[+] plenty of crispy tempura bits on top of the rice
[+] Asparagus was good
[-] I feel that the egg doesn’t go very well with the whole tendon but this a personal preference
[-] Prawn and octopus were underwhelming.
[-] I felt very sinful after eating it cause so much fried food! Perhaps tendon is not my style..

Worth the price but not worth the calories

[+] Set comes with rice, chawamushi and miso soup. I liked their chawamushi
[+] I was pleasantly surprised with the amount of fish I got. Hotate(!) Salmon, hamachi, swordfish, tuna and ikura!
[+] If you have a sashimi craving and you’re not very picky. The sashimi tasted fresh and decent.
[-] not worthy queueing for. There’s a Long queue during dinner time on weekends.

[+] The raw fish is wayy more than the rice!
[+] Good variety of sashimi given which includes hotate (my fav!), tuna, hamachi, tuna, salmon, ebi, steamed egg, ikura, sea urchin and aji (?)
[+] Fish were all fresh and tasted decent
[+] The set also came with miso soup and chawamushi
[+] pretty worthwhile for $28++
[-] can’t complain for this price!

This is my second visit and I think I will be back again!

I had the premium pork loin and the pork was soft and tender. I did find it to be a little too oily so perhaps the pork filet will be a better choice for those who doesn’t like fats. Gyoza is decent. Skip the ramen.

The grilled iberico pork jowl tapas with the slight charcoal taste was great! We also thoroughly enjoyed the mains- oven baked cod filet, miso chicken, crab meat linguine. The modified ‘eggs Benedict’ - poached egg with Serrano ham and spinach served on muffin might be the best eggs Benedict I’ve ever eaten.

#tip #makeareservation #brunch bundle set menu is really worthwhile as it comes with 1 tapas+1 main + 1 desert for $25++ or 2 tapas+1main+ 1 desert for $35++. The menu is not on display (maybe it’s going to be phased out?) so you might have to ask for it from waitress.

Another don to add to my 'collection' !

#tip #solodiner - Go for the set lunch. I got a counter seat so I can sit in front of the fresh fish and watch the chef at work. The service was good, staff was friendly. #noawkwardness #othersolodinerspresent

I enjoyed the barachirashi don more than the maki roll as they gave a generous amount of fresh sashimi cubes. 2 portion of well-marinated fish to 1 portion of rice tasted very satisfying! It’s probably not comparable to the chirashi don served in the high-end jap restaurant but if you are having a sashimi/chirashi craving in the nearby neighbourhood, this is a good bet.

#tip #solodiners - it’s quite a small place so there are limited seats. Do be prepared to share tables with others. It’s a great place for takeaways to dine home alone :)

FINALLY TRIED THE FAMOUS HITsumabushi set from man man unagi.

It's as good as what the other reviewers say. No complaints 👍👍👍 Unagi grilled to perfection, glad the standard didn't drop due to popularity.

#tip #solodiners - I reached at 11am on Sat. Queued for 30minutes and went in at 1130. No counter seats left so I shared a table with another solo diner. It's an eat-and-go place so no awkwardness #fretnot

Starting 2016 right with a nourishing Japanese meal.
Hits: The California roll uses real crab meat and is coated with seared salmon instead of usual ebiko. Don't worry for you still get your usual dose of roe (as with every California roll) but the one they use here is that of flying fish instead of shrimp (the usual ebiko) , the former is something my family & I prefer over the latter.
