This single plate ruined our experience. We waited 50mins for this, despite repeated reminders
Soroban was alright
Feet the exterior has a bit of unpleasant sticky chew, centre was quite good
As people probably know, their skewers come from the sister restaurant beside
Ckn crown was well charred, incredibly crispy at the edges and with a soft sticky texture in the middle
The heart was pretty decent as well, bite was good
Well this is pretty decent, the broth felt abit more salty than the most premium ones, but really they're all about the same
Ingredients were all okay as well, esp the more rare ones here like the bean curd bag with mochi
Nothing too crazy, despite the high praise from some other burpplers
This is the full, 2 pax set. It's really quite pathetic
The beef isn't particularly good even, not melty. It's decent, esp if you cook it to medium rare. Quite easy to overcook tbh, so be careful
The whole idea of the place is Dashi, l wasn't particularly impressed. It's alright for sure, but if you don't say anything I wouldn't imagine this is a 100bucks Dashi place at all
Not to mention the portion is srsly tiny, idk if it even feeds 1
They said UP 200+, but for 200g UP is only 136++
The larger portion comes w more noodles only, ingredients same. This is more shiok but that's more authentic in terms of ratio
Anyway motsu and wagyu were both quite good, it's a good yakisoba for Singapore standards for sure
The set is off menu, they come around asking you. Basically for 7.8++ you get the kimchi seafood teppanyaki plus 2 rice. Quite worth
Not v kimchi, seafood was good and it's really a cabbage stir fry that's nonetheless quite enjoyable, things were properly cooked, q mild
Very, very good for Singapore standards. Sweet, super soft beef intestines, in a very savoury miso based broth that's slightly sweet, despite the pale white colour
The beef doesn't look v impressive but it's really good, v tender and thus rly rlly worth it
Min 3 pieces
Radish was quite juicy. Abit fibrous though
Seaweed was good
Meatballs were firm, they burst properly and the filling was juicy
Having just had oden from an izakaya, I would say the difference is perceptible, but honestly in terms of umami the difference is not that great and this is much much more value for money
Honestly right, all their oden taste the same. Mild, some bite, not super super tender
Really not my kind of thing, and they're very very pricey. I know a lot of people like it, I guess what I'm trying to say is that if you know you like strong flavours and textures then this really isn't the place to be splurging, splurge on the grilled stuff instead. I know I'm coming back for anything koji marinated
PSA they require everyone to buy a drink. But at least can be just nonalcoholic, e.g. oolong at 5++ which is reasonable for an izakaya. However this is for good reason, most of the food needs something to accompany, e.g. cheese would go better w drinks rather than on its own
Food:
Quite decent, with small bits of very chewy ham. But damn ex
They literally take the oden piece out and make a dish w it
