This is a bowl of perfection. Perfectly cooked brisket, tendon, ox tail, beef slices on top of a bowl of bouncy ramen noodles immersed in a beef broth that's rich and perfectly seasoned!
The kitchen needs to improve as waiting time was very long
Combine a tom yum soup that does not leave you wincing from the sourness, and a fatty tonkotsu soup that's perfectly cut with the Tom yum spices, and you'll get this perfect bowl of creamy spicy tangy Tom yum soup that leaves you wanting for more!
Had the wagyu beef with foie gras donburi tonight! I preferred the tanuki raw version as I feel that the acidic sushi rice is able to cut through the jelatness as compared to the white rice version@ kinki. Liked how they cut it into smaller pieces here as each individual piece is more fragrant. They were also pretty generous with it as well - you'll pretty much get a chunk of foie gras in each mouthful.
Nonetheless, had a great time there as the other items were pretty decent - unagi and Hokkaido scallop maki, spicy tuna maki and spicy miso edamame. They have a pretty good selection of sake and umeshu as well. Service staff were pretty attentive throughout the night as well.
Price was reasonable as you get special offers on either AMEX or Entertainer. Highly recommended for a special night out!
ps: Remember to ask for a window seat!
Inevitably, comparison will have to be made against tendon ginza itzuki. I preferred tendon ginza itzuki because:
- the rice at kohaku is too wet
- uneven batter and burnt chicken at kohaku
- crab stick?!?!
- small prawns were given, which was coated by a thick layer of batter
However, it does have a few redeeming qualities. Service was top notch, as they replaced my burnt chicken without question when I pointed it out. Slightly better ventilation than itzuki where you don't leave the place smelling like a tempura. More comfortable to queue as it's located inside a mall.
It's not bad if you're looking for a decent bowl of tendon, but if you've had itzuki before, you'd be left slightly disappointed.
$19.9 per pax, with an add on of $1.99 for free flow soft drinks and soft serve ice cream. I've seen a few people complain about the variety and service at Orchard, and was a bit wary going to the one at suntec.
I feel that service could be improved, as staff were not that attentive even when the place is not that full. As for the food, the meat is decent, with an OK spread of vegetables, mushrooms and sauces. Had the spicy soup base with the tonkotsu one, both of them were not bad. I quite like the spicy one as I am usually not a fan of mala soup bases where the peppercorn taste is overwhelming.
Beautifully made roll which tasted very fresh! Very unique and well put together combo
Ordered the special tonkotsu king ramen, but it was just too jelat for my liking. The soup has a thick, almost starchy consistency to it, which felt artificial. The chasu was too lean, without any fat on it. Won't be coming back I guess
$13.9 for the special tendon,which comes with 2 big prawns, 2 chicken breast fillets, one stick of mini corn, one mushroom, some long beans, one slice of pumpkin and one deep fried egg. The tendon was value for money, but as the kitchen is an open concept kitchen, the smell of the oil can be overpowering and nauseating
