We ordered Beef Shabu Rice Bowl ($9.80), Shake-Ikura Don ($16.90), Mix Oden ($15), Edamame ($6) and Barley tea (bottled, sadly, $4).

The portion was ok, but overall quite filling since we ordered quite a variety of food for 2 person. Oden soup initially tasted a tad too salty, but it got addictive after you enjoy the warm soup slide down your throat and into your belly. Oden consisted of one boiled egg (tamago), Kelp, Kombu (some jelly?), 1 huge fish ball, a skewer of beef tendon and 2 radishes.

The Shake-Ikura Don was recommended by TSL so BF ordered it. He was disappointed by how shallow the rice and ingredients were sitting in the bowl. Also note that the rice was warm, on top of the sashimi. Sashimi wasn’t particularly fat or tasty either. In my opinion, one of the failed salmon dons I’ve tasted. Bf was sad ☹️ I personally think that salmon sashimi should NEVER be served on hot rice. Either do it in cold or room temperature sushi rice!

I ordered the beef shabu rice bowl. It was a marinated shabu beef with onions. I was pleasantly greeted by the appearance of an onsen egg when it was delivered to my table! It was sitting in a teacup. Taste-wise is ok. Nothing fantastic.

A decent place to come to if you’re not craving for high standards of Japanese food. It’s just normal, imo. The other unit, which is an extension of Yama-Ya was flooded with people though! They sell the same food, FYI.

Most seemed to be there for the drinks. I don’t really get why the crowd was there - please share with me if you’re a fan of this place! There might be something I missed out 😆
