“I had never heard of this place but the food was incredible. The charred Edamame starter was one of the best things I’ve eaten in a while. The donburi was amazing and came with pickles, furikake and miso. Its a really awesome place and very yum. I will definitely be back again soon!” – Harry Chiem

The dons are divided into seafood, chicken, beef, pork and vegetarian options. You might want to try their salmon sashimi don served with sushi rice, shiso leaf, soy cured yolk and ikura. Or their steamed rice topped with oven-baked soft salmon prepared with kimchi, kewpie, tenkasu, roasted seaweed flakes and shallot.
If red meat is your thing, then try the wagyu steak don in teriyaki butter, soft-cooked free-range egg, roasted seaweed flakes and shallot; and sweet soy-marinated pork, fukujinzuke, soft-cooked free-range egg and shallot.
Other options include premium panko crumbed chicken with housemade katsu sauce, scrambled free-range egg, fukujinzuke and shallot; and grilled shiitake mushroom with ginger yuzu, marinated mushroom and shallot.
Don’t forget to try matcha tiramisu don which is a dessert made with mascarpone, castella and matcha for an enjoyable sweet finish.
“Authentic Japanese don! We love the environment and the food are very eye catching! I love how they present their food, it is like an art piece! I would definitely go back again to try the salmon don as it was out of stock when I visited. There are plenty of parking outside the restaurant.” – Yap venture
“We came here as it was highly recommended by a friend. The food was so delicious, neatly presented, and came out quickly. The matcha tiramisu is a must try! It’s so creamy but not too sweet. Tables fill up quickly, so best to book ahead.” – Janette M.
