Tanuki Raw (Orchard Central)

Excellent food. Great place to celebrate birthdays (see birthday promotion on website). We were served by Janelle who gave her best smile and attentive service and did her best to meet our requests.

Wrapping up our joyful adventure with this snow crab bao dish, our whole perception about Japanese fusion food has been transformed. The highlight is a lightly crispy well cooked Bao. It is a texture play when combining with softy snow crab. Before you realize you eat so much greens, the whole bao is gone! 😆 We know that we would definitely come back for some more...😚🍀

Perfect for 2 sharing persons, this Futo sushi (futomaki) type doesn't dissappoint us. Just one pop gives us a mouthful of creamy cubed salmon sashimi tossed in mentaiko. The crispy sesame & shiro negi (Japanese long green onion) are hard to miss as they pile on top of these 2 twinnies portrudingly.🤩

How could we miss their signature. We are quite curious when looking at the name alone. After trying these few makis, then we know that this dish is a must order and our most favourite after trying all the dishes. The toppimgs (from bottom to top) 👉 unagi, scallop, salmon, snowcrab which go so well with cucumber & avocado. If you don't mind torched food, this is the one to go for.

As luck would have it, we manage to get the seats at peak hour (lunch time) without reservation in this wishlist eatery. Daytime this place is popular with office workers in CBD. Then comes the evening, 'Taniki Raw' morphes into a cocktail bar.🍹You know we always have a penchant for a playful place. 😉
Tuna Sashimi is perhaps the most straight laced Japanese dish that showcases how fresh the ingredients are served here (we would say this is simply gorgeous 👌)

This place shouldn’t come as a surprise to donburi lovers ‼️ Started back in 2012, the eatery now serves a variety of rice bowl, udon, maki and sashimi options with the longest daily-running oyster happy hour in Singapore 🦪

We had 𝗙𝗼𝗲𝗶 𝗚𝗿𝗮𝘀 𝗧𝗿𝘂𝗳𝗳𝗹𝗲 𝗬𝗮𝗸𝗶𝗻𝘂𝗸𝘂 ($𝟮𝟯.𝟵𝟬). Topped with an onsen egg, the truffle yakiniku bowl comes with US Black Angus short rib and pan seared foei gras 🐄 The tender truffle beef paired with the flavourful signature mixed rice. You can also top up (+$7.10) for fresh truffle shavings! 🫶
