Mix Bara Kaisen Don lunch set @ $18.80++. #valueformoney

Marinated assortment of fresh sashimi, tamago, shredded seaweed and topped with toboki served in a rice bowl.

Fresh, generous thick cuts of sashimi bowl only at $25. Nothing short of Chikuwa Tei's standard, this is a new concept of its sister Manzoku. Have you tried them yet?

The bara here features triangular cuts of sashimi that are thicker, chunkier and slightly more raggedy around the edges than the usual neat cubes of fish at other Japanese joints. I prefer this to the normal chirashi, which can get too jelat.

You can never get the same volume and quality for this price anywhere else!

Aoki is arguably most famous for their Mazechirashi, which is perfectly executed. You get a good ratio of sashimi to rice, good texture, and flavours that meld together amazingly. The nigiri sushi is top-notch as well. Go for their lunch sets; they're very affordable considering the incredible quality. Always make reservations as they have limited capacity.
