Yonehachi (Takashimaya)

This one’s a bit of a toss-up. The saba came out a little too fishy for me. It’s not quite the clean, briny hit I was hoping for. But if you’re into bold-flavoured mackerel, this might still be your thing.

The salmon okowa was the real win here. Light, savoury and mellow, with tender flakes of salmon tucked into chewy glutinous rice. Comforting without being heavy — an easy, satisfying bite.

It comes with the usual cabbage slaw, miso soup and tea. Nothing fancy but just enough to tie everything together for a fuss-free meal 》$16.90

The chicken teriyaki hits the spot with its familiar sweet-salty glaze and lightly charred edges that keep things tasty from start to finish. What makes this set stand out, though, is the unagi okowa — a seasonal dish of glutinous rice with chewy eel tucked into every bite. It’s savoury, warm and full of quiet depth.

Cabbage slaw, miso soup and tea round out the set. Simple sides that make it a hearty, no-fuss meal worth going back for 》$16.90 + $1 Unagi Okowa

Had their combo set and chose the chestnut rice. Love their flavoured rice!! And their set is also quite affordably priced with balanced nutrition for a meal. Normally crowded during peak hours and need to wait for a table.

Salmon shio set with salmon okowa. Although it was glutinous rice, it was light, slightly chewy and extremely flavourful as the salmon was well mixed with rice. Salmon was a little too dry and hard.
