Japanese

Writing this review a week later, I’m still drooling at the thought of Ramen Nagi’s Tom Yum King.

What a perfect execution of a creamy, spicy and tangy broth that left me craving for more.

The other winner was the Kakuni - savoury and so tender it melts in your mouth. 😍✨

I absolutely adore mentaiko so it was disappointing to find that my mentaiko salmon bowl was slightly cold. :/ Maybe I came at a wrong time.

However, the mango roll was pretty yummy! Sweet slices of mango paired well with the battered ebi tempura!

Prices are great for fuss-free Japanese food with close friends.

My winning vote of the day goes to the Kani Miso - an unassuming bowl of crab tomalley paste that was full of umami flavours 😍😍😍 Runner up goes to mentaiko rosti!

Overall a great menu and fantastic dining ambience!

Was a bit worried that the mentaiko cream with salmon tempura udon ($15) would be too overpowering, but it was just right and I managed to finish it all up 😋 The salmon slices used were THICK and the batter wasn’t oily at all!

Hokkaido potato croquette was quite affordable at $2.80 for its size!

Overall, the location is so accessible and it’s a great place to get quality Japanese food (plus no svc charge.)

Indulged in a double portion of the Kuro Buta / skewered toasted pork belly ($12.00 per portion of 3 sticks) thanks to our Burpple Beyond deal.

The fatty pork just melts perfectly in your mouth and is best paired with the dark miso paste and mustard that it comes served with.

Slight word of caution: The fatty meat is REALLY fatty. So if this makes you jelat, perhaps just one portion is enough 🤔

We ordered the unagi and salmon rice bowls and both were very value for money! Both unagi and salmon pieces were substantial. Also tried the pork belly on a stick and it was very tasty!

Overall, nothing mind-blowing but extremely value for money. We also managed to find a deal with the eatigo 50% off so... bonus!
