mentaiko salmon sushi ($5.90 for 5): 8/10 ✨✨

got this from donki but overturned the entire box otw back home (hence the weird shapes and scattered rice) oooops. the mentaiko mayo had a nice smokiness and the salmon was quite substantial. definitely an accessible and more affordable option if you want ur mentaiko fix :)

the portion of unagi given was really substantial and there was a nice grilled flavour to the slightly charred bits to the unagi. the rice was coated in the unagi glaze which made the whole combi even tastier, while the dashi stock served at the side was refreshing and light. each component in the hitsumabushi complemented one another well. really tasty although i'd hope for a stronger grilled flavour. however, as someone who hasn't been able to eat at man man because of their prices, i find una una really value for money given its convenient location and for the lovely dining environment. would 10/10 visit this place again!

this was really filling. love the charred bits on the chicken and the onsen egg mixed really well with the rice. really generous with the chicken. only complaint is that it gets kinda one dimensional so it'd be great if you accompanied it with other sides/drinks!

rice bowl was creamy and really flavourful. loved every bite of the oyako don and the grilled chicken had a nice bite to it. honestly can't use words to describe this dish and you gotta try this out for yourself!

edit: however, visited for a second time and the oyako don was rather watery somehow and the texture of the rice wasn't as on point. maybe it was just a bad day?

cheaper than its counterpart at ding tai fung but i think the rice is more smoky and fragrant back over at DTF! the pork chop was pretty juicy and had a nice bite to it :)

the egg was pretty good but the sides were average? rice was okay, although some parts were on the clumpy side. while the tonkatsu crust was not bad, the pork itself tasted a little underseasoned. i'd say try the chicken karaage instead!

this was really filling but i'd say there wasn't much to rave about? the rice was well seasoned, and the portions were generous but the location is rather out of the way so i'd only drop by again if i'm nearby.

the ingredients used were really fresh and flavourful, and the fried chicken was moist and tender. the components of the tendon were very crispy without being too greasy. a really good tendon plus it was super filling
