A regular truffle been donburi is $28, but it’s also included in the Burpple 1 for 1, which makes it super worth it. The beef is tender, the sauce is delicious, the egg was cooked perfectly, and I also really liked the foie gras and caviar too.
In terms of drinks, my friend and I enjoyed:
- Crope Crop: a grape-based liquor that tastes like grape candy
- Rien: Japanese pear liquor that was light and really tasted like pears
- Sparkling Sake: sweet and like a white wine.
Would definitely go back again!
no other words to describe this bowl of goodness except ✨PERFECTION✨ best beef bowl i’ve had to date. beef was melt-in-your-mouth tender with the decadent truffle rice and onsen egg. the other extras like caviar and uni/foie gras were just an added treat bc the bowl could’ve honestly stunned without them! so glad there’s beyond here
Unagi was crazy yummy. Yuzu in maki was yum . Salmon was well done. Nicest donburi!!!
4⭐ We are here because of the beef donburi but the waitress told us that we can only redeem the rice bowl < $20. Hence we ordered Kurobuta & Salmon rice bowl. Although the portion looks little but actually it's filling for me. The kurobuta pork is so soft albeit only 3 pieces. 😩 The salmon is seasoned well and skin is very crispy.

This beef donburi was not very worth it even with the 1 for 1 discount. There were a few thin beef slices, and the artificial truffle taste was a bit off-putting.
What was more appalling was the service. We were left standing at the entrance for a while, with servers clearly seeing us but refusing to acknowledge us until a server eventually directed us to our seat outside. When a table had cleared up inside, we asked if we could sit inside, and they told us that that table was left empty because of safe distancing regulations. This is despite us seeing people sitting at that table (and every other table) just previously before us.
The last straw was when we were redeeming burpple beyond. The waiter that took our phone for the redemption was taking unusually long compared to usual, so I peered over and realised that she was giving the feedback under the burpple app for their place stealthily without our permission at all. Truly appalling and unethical.
I’m not sure if the poor service was because they judged us to be using burpple beyond, so if you’re using it too, be prepared!
