Tanuki Raw (Orchard Central)

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! 🫶

A mix of salmon sashimi, aburi salmon belly, cubed spicy salmon and mentaiko seared salmon sashimi, this ikura-topped recommend item is definitely value for money 💰

For those who are visiting the Orchard Central outlet for an early lunch, place your orders before 12pm and enjoy a 15% discount on your donburi or noodle bowl. Also upgrade to set meals with salad, miso soup, green tea 🍵 for only $3

Alternatively, get their chirashi don ($20.90) that comes with thick cuts of sashimi. Featuring tuna, salmon belly, scallop, swordfish, white tuna, yellow tail 🐠 and tamago.

What we ordered at Tanuki Raw

🍗 Garlic Butter Chicken ($14.90)
Drizzled with garlic brown butter teriyaki sauce, the pan-fried chicken cutlet is served atop flavourful rice and complete with an onsen egg 🥚 But I still prefer their truffle yakiniku and chirashi bowls

🍣 Superstar Roll ($15.90)
Salmon with mentaiko sauce and mozzarella cheese 🧀

🍣 Tanuki Aburi Maki ($18.90)
Snow crab and unagi wrapped in salmon and scallop 🦀

Overall: 8/10

A delicious yakiniku don from Tanuki Raw! I have to admit, the portion size had set my expectations low and I would have preferred a tad bit larger bowl. Still, the beef was super tender and well seasoned. They were generous with the beef as well, and the rice coated with runny egg made for the perfect bed.

I loved how well balanced the flavours were and will definitely return for this!
