Ordered the lunch promo chicken oyakoni; egg and chicken doused in what I suppose is sukiyaki sauce. Very soft egg that almost melts in your mouth with tender chicken. Though would have been better if real Japanese rice was used, the portion was good enough so as to cater room for side dishes, what I consider to be the stars of the show. Sweet potato fries (not in photo) were on point - crispy and sweet fries topped with a unique honey lemon sauce topped with cinnamon. Potato wedges with seaweed and omelette cube were boring and quotidian. Udon gyoza with ponzu was actually a rather cool-looking ball that looked perhaps like a sotong ball, but nothing much to shout about. Takoyaki was, well, takoyaki. The braised sweet potato and pork ribs were alright, but sweet potato was too hard and the sauce's taste could have been enhanced for I didn't really gain much impression of it and until now I have no clue what sauce it actually is. Didn't get to try the chawanmushi, because I only saw it when my belly was about to explode lol. Cheese fondue was watery and in short pretty bad. As for the desserts, the matcha cheese cups were more like decorative amounts of matcha powder adorning a dollop of cream cheese on top of crushed Oreo, tho that's admittedly kinda already tasty in itself (but where's the matcha?) But the matcha shiratama dessert, a kind of matcha soup with some shiratama balls, was surprisingly tasty, a bit like an ultra milky matcha latte, and luckily not too sweet and cloying such that I had like 4 bowls of it lol. Overall, a satisfactory dining experience, very good considering the price - paid less than $15 net for this. Thankfully none of the dishes were too salty, sweet or oily! I like how the desserts are kept chilled atop ice and most of the hot dishes are kept warm. Would definitely go back again!
