Best Japanese Food In The West Ordered a Takeshi kaidan set. Food was served promptly, look great tasted better. I will officially be a regular! Take my money please

Casual Japanese Fare with An Elevated Experience New Japanese dining place with casual vibe and classy food presentation. It was an elevated experience with the Takeshi Kaidan Set ($26) as each premium sushi piece was displayed on steps. At the top was a piece of gorgeous marbled tuna draped over pressed Japanese rice and the tuna simply melted in my mouth. The scallop was large too that it was satisfying in one bite. Opt for a variety and order the Sake Tasting Set ($12) that consisted of three different sakes served in beautiful ceramic cups, which has a koi fish swimming in it. Overall an elegant and refreshing evening.🍶🍣

Takeshi Kaidan Set ($26) & Salmon Kaidan Set ($18) Next were the Takeshi Kaidan & Salmon Kaidan Sets which were beautifully presented in flight of stairs! Taste wise, these sushis don’t disappoint too, you can really taste the freshness and quality in each piece of sushi!

First Time Visiting Enjoyed the 1-1 main dish promo and the sides were good too!! Will def revisit 😛

Burpple Beyond 1-for-1 Main Dish ($11.90++) This Japanese place was housed within ToGather Kitchen and Bar, which is more of a coffeeshop/ upscale kopitiam than a restaurant. It was extremely crowded with a long queue on a Friday evening, so I would highly recommend making a reservation in advance. Ambience was a 2/10 because it was super noisy, and we could barely hear ourselves even though we tried to have a conversation at the top of our lungs. I would advise visiting with low expectations of it being a chill and hang out place. I did visit with 4 pax and was able to use 2 Beyond coupons for our meal. They had a substantial menu and the price point of the dishes was about $12 per course, making it a really good deal after Beyond promo. We ordered the Salmon Aburi Mentaiko Don which was alright; something I would rate a 5 or 6 upon 10 as it is definitely a budget don where quality of rice/ mentaiko is concerned. Salmon slices were thin but substantial though. Two of us also ordered the Salmon Mentaiko Bento that came with a side of cold tofu and salad, but the salmon was so overcooked some of us didn't finish it, making it a solid 3/10. It may also be noteworthy that the food was served with disposable cutlery and definitely added to the budget vibe, and we were even more stunned when the bento was the disposable plastic sort. Will I visit again? Probably not, but I wouldn't mind doing a takeaway if I was close by!

Western Hawker Concept: Jap Foods Was pretty packed for a weekday dinner and it took quite some time for us to get our food. But overall, worth the wait! My friends and I ordered the exact same dish - Aburi Mentai Kazoku Don (~$13). It was off their original menu but displayed on the special/premium menu items board. Sashimi was pretty fresh and had a nice smoky taste because of the aburi (seared) preparations, and mentaiko was flavourful and not too pungent (to my liking even though I don’t particularly like mayo). Gobbled them down with 1-for-1 Burpple deals and caught their happy hour so definitely was worth. 👍🏻 Would be back!

Make Your Own Bowl | Wooshi Similar concept to maki and just wanted to give it a try as the ingredients were pretty special. Overall the ingredients were fresh but i think their sauce is slightly lacking. (ie. Yuzu sesame was overpowered by the yuzu and their teriyaki sauce felt like oyster sauce). However daring foodies can try their signatures which were quite innovative in the pairings and the names too! Maybe they would have tasted different/better than my own concoctions.... 2.5/5

Burpple 1 For 1 Sushi I’m so glad I’ve tried this. Chance upon it while I’m at Somerset 313 and decided to give it a go when I saw it at burpple which otherwise I don’t think I’ll try. It’s so worth with the 1 for 1 from burpple. I tried both smoke duck and tempura Ebi. They’re both fantastic and soul warming. Wasn’t expecting it to be such comforting food

Nice Healthy Bowl Topped up $3 for another protein. Not the cheapest topup, but even without topup it’s already good and filling.

Mentaiko Scallops (1-for-1 3 Course Meal) These were really rich in flavour. The scallops were torched but not fully cooked so the texture was more like sashimi. The only drawback was there's too little of it for the price I'm paying.

Sukiyaki Truffle Don (1-for-1 3 Course Meal) The $50+ 1-for-1 3 course meal comes with a sukiyaki truffle don, mentaiko scallops, and a drink. It was pricey but very delicious. The combination of flavours and texture was amazing and everyone enjoyed it. (I suspect it was so expensive because it uses real truffles but I couldn't really taste it so..) The truffle fries were an additional side that cost almost $15 w/ GST+service charge, but the fries were thinner than most fries and therefore very crispy and flavourful. Highly recommend as well.

Good Meal, But A Bit Pricey Made a reservation for Valentine’s Day celebration, but was notified that only V-Day menu was available and ala carte menu was not available (contrary to what was communicated previously). But kudos to the owner for apologising twice and giving us a discount:) We ended up ordering the V-Day menu (Waa Cow Premium Uni Don) - the Uni & Wagyu Don and the Uni Chirashi Don. We could tell taste that ingredients used were fresh, portions were also just nice. We especially liked the Wagyu, Foie Gras, Chutoro and Scallops. Yuzu Sake that came with the set was excellent and paired well with the Dons too. Will visit again, but will probably choose the cheaper options instead.

Wagyu Beef Don Mouth-melting beef was sliced with a slicer machine, in order to achieve this thin layer of beef. Beef was cooked well and was very tender. Would definitely recommend getting this.

amazing service and really friendly staff the beef slicer wasnt available when i went there but the staff were super friendly and even provided complimentary mochi for me and my friend. overall the food was really good, portion was reasonable for the burpple offer. will come back for the wagyu don!🥰

Wagyu Strip Beef Don Really tender wagyu beef that is absolutely worth it with Burpple! It’s a small eatery but serves exquisite don. Got it together with sashimi salmon don. Worth the value, will be back.

Tasty Japanese Food Went for dinner and shook by the variety of the dishes. Got the Negitoro Don and beef potato stew and is definitely not disappointed by it. If only the menu can gives pictures for reference. But I have my eyes on the stewers and will come back for it :)

Mixed Skewers The skewers are delicious and filling enough, with the tsukune my favourite of the lot. The chicken wing skewer was tasty but a tad too salty for my liking. Apart from that, we had the aburi saba mackerel, agedashi tofu and chicken karaage which were all really well done. Would return once in a while for the food and ambience but price a bit too steep to return regularly.

Amazing Skewers Really good ambiance! Their skewers were well seasoned and delicious, and their soba (warm) broth was very flavourful. I really enjoyed myself and will be back again!

Worth a try! I ordered the Friends w Benefits rice bowl and they were very generous with their wagyu beef! The truffle fries were flavourful and their iced latte was worth its price too!

Pink Slime Rice Bowl Tried the Pink Slime rice bowl with mentaiko salmon and shimeiji mushrooms. Taste was good and portion was just right!

Authentic Tasty Japanese Food Visited PIPES for dinner and ordered their mini salmon don as my main and their mixed soft-serve as my dessert. Pleased with the quality of the food especially the salmon sashimi - they were extremely fresh and pretty huge!! For the soft-serve, the black sesame was very rich - would recommend getting the mixed one as it was just nice! there were also crunchy things in the soft-serve that complemented the taste. Loved the ambience - very Japanese feels ◡̈ price is on the higher side though! would return to try their sake and other desserts 😄

Worth It! Ordered the mentaiko pasta (good flavour, slightly dry) and fried chicken don(super crispy and nice) using 1-1 lunch deal. Portion sizes aren’t the biggest but it’s good enough!

Opened about a month ago in the bustling street of Liang Seah Street is TAAN IZA-BAR, a dining destination for Japanese and Korean cuisine with draft beers and other booze available. If you are heading there for lunch, you can expect pasta and rice dishes such as the Mentaiko Pasta ($15) and Unagi Fried Rice ($11), both excellent hearty and comforting choices that will make your day even better or head down for dinner with drinks to wind the day down. To pair with your beers and sakes, there are alcohol accompaniments such as the Truffle Edamame ($7) and Saikoro Steak ($18), the former has steamed edamame tossed in a truffle oil mixture with salt and shio kombu which the latter’s Angus beef cubes paired with shimeji mushroom and their homemade brown sauce. ••••••••••••••••••• ✨ TAAN IZA-BAR 📍 1 Liang Seah Street, Unit 01-03/04, Singapore 189022 🍴 [Media Invite]

Mentaiko Pasta Pasta cream was too dry, pasta itself is alright but doesn't really come with any Toppings. I think it's alright but I wouldnt order this again.

Shroom Cheesy Patty With Salted Egg Yolk Sauce Ordered the shroom cheesy party with salted egg yolk sauce and I love how they could make a patty with shrooms and cheese rather to use plant based alternative meats. Everything in this burger complement each other. Have visited sauté san many times and they certainly have not disappointed me once!

Miso Soup Hotpot It is rare to find vegetarian Japanese food in sg and I'm glad to be able to share a hotpot this time round! This will be even better on a cold day!

Japanese Katsu Curry Rice Mind blown! The katsu is just like the Japanese pork katsu!

Shiokk Spicy Ramen with Karage Chicken The stall offer ramen spiciness level from 0 (non spicy) to level 8 (flaming hot). I choose level 3 which already quite spicy for me. This humble Japanese ramen shop may not be popular at the outside as it has old exterior & interior look, but definitely worth try since their food quality is good with reasonable price.

Beppu Ramen Comes with sliced char siew, sliced beef, mussel, scallop, egg, crab meat stick, prawn, pickles, corn, seaweed, bamboo shoot, spring onion, fried garlic in Kyushu soup. Basically every ingredients in one bowl of ramen. You also can choose the level of spicy. $16.80++

For Spice Lovers This place will definitely satisfy your cravings for spicy food. You get to customise the level of spice to your liking from level 1 all the way to level 8.

Steak & Scorched Rice Had the steak with scorched rice and steak with mash. Both actually came with similar flame grilled beef, which was equally good, grilled to perfection, flavourful with a bit of smoky charred aroma and yet tender and juicy inside. As for the carbs, I find the rice was too bland and lacked the burnt taste i was expecting. Mash was too cheesy and buttery for my liking (but that's just me as I don't like buttery stuff). We had other sides as well and overall we enjoyed the food. :)

Mentaiko Pasta Love the dish, super creamy and delicious. Had amazing truffle fries as well

Steak And Mash, $24+ The steak was sliced really thinly and was medium-cooked, though no preference was asked by the waiter. It was really soft and flavourful, and was almost melting in our mouths. Mashed potatoes were super buttery and smooth and went really well with the steak. Portion is not huge but would definitely return for this.

Cod Steak Chunky slab of cod. Slightly salted. The meat is firm but not hard, has a good texture to it. Overall, it is not bad 👍

California Maki Their makis are amazing. Very fresh and tasty. The sushi rice also doesn't disintegrate 😉 Must order!

Chicken Teriyaki Sweet and umami Japanese Teriyaki. Chicken was cooked to perfection and very tender too. Available for BurppleBeyond 1 for 1.
