The service is excellent. The staff volunteered to take pictures for us especially when they knew we were celebrating a birthday. We ordered the $58++ omakase menu. A 15 items set served over 1 1/2 hr . Plenty of time to savour, talk, laugh.
The dishes were beautifully presented and overall portions were just right for us. Do not let the small portions of each course fool you, we were quite full after finishing all the courses.
We went for the $88++ Omakase menu, which included 15 courses. Some items were served together (e.g. sushis), but the intervals between the dishes were timed well.
Although the ingredients were quite premium, the dishes tasted quite average. Some tasted better than the others, some were quite off.
The Chilled Truffle Somen and Lobster Salad was a great start. The sashimi was fresh, with thick and chunky cuts. However, the meat on the Mentaiko Lobster was quite tough, with most of the meat being stuck to the shell. The Wagyu Beef was also slightly disappointing.
The staff were extremely friendly and prompt. They even recommended the order of the items to eat to enjoy the best experience.
Overall, I would recommend trying their omakase.
When we stepped in, we were a little surprised by the muted lighting and tuckshopsy cafe-like tables and chairs. But we left wowed by the food.
Most of the dishes were on point, such as the mentaiko lobster, oysters done in various ways, the lovely fatty, fresh and full-of-goodness tuna, the delicious unagi, and the truffle somen. Between the wagyu beef and tenderloin, we preferred the tenderloin surprisingly, as it was softer and moist, and much more flavourful. The wagyu was too dry, but went well with the ponzu dip. The foie gras with golden tanuki sushi was too crispy, and my wife did not really taste the foie gras. They also made some changes to the dishes that were different from the listed menu without telling us.
The meal was rounded off nicely with homemade cheesecake and black sesame ice cream. They currently have three omakase menus for lunch, from $38 to $88. Service was friendly and quick as well.
