There is one thing that I am always willing to spend on..
Good quality Japanese food.
Yum. of cos, within affordable price range la.. $40 per person is the max limit I can afford now.. and it better be damn nice! hahaha
So far the restaurants that I have visited are..
1)Waraku @ Cuppage
- Saba Set
Menu looks quite good. I look forward to visiting there again to find out how is the rest of the food.
- Waraku @ Marina Square, Central
Food was decent. I ordered a chirashi and udon set. Price range affordable.
- Buffet
Sashimi was ok.. I like tonjiro soup. Food was ok.
Warning! the price on the buffet is hefty as it's about $28++ or so for lunch buffet and $32++ for dinner buffet. Call ahead to reserve if you're going down for dinners or risk waiting for up to 20 to 30 mins.
3)Himawari @ Mount Faber Safra
- Buffet and ala carte
Shabu shabu was huge for 3 girls to eat. Great selection of food available. Sushi are well made, those that you can pop whole into the mouth, just the way it should be. I like this >>>>> than Hanabi.
Warning! The place may have moved since the last time I visited in 07 but there's a new one at Neil Road.
4)Honjin @ Tanjong Pagar
- Buffet
As far as I recall, this was quite nice. hahaha.. but it was a long time back in 2005. Maybe I'll go again if I can spare the cash.
5)Ajitei
- Ala carte
Food's ok.. Not that authentic but dessert is nice. I like their dessert more than Azabu Sabo but I'm a slightly bias source. I like the tonpeiyaki and okonomiyaki.
6)Tonkichi @ Suntec, Shaw & Ngee Ann City
- Set lunches
Yummy Yummy Yummy! Love the hire katsu, fried prawns and oysters. Must go for anyone looking for a Japanese restaurant. I dunnoe much about their sushi though. Curry's good. Extra refill of rice and salad free so this is a good place for people with large appetites. Tend to crave the fried prawn for comfort food.

Seafood set -katsu and fried prawn
7)Sakae sushi
- Buffet
Like that loh. It's a bit commercialised liaoz.. okonomiyaki is nice tho. The grade of sashimi you get varies. I like to visit them when they have 1-for-1 red plate deals.
8)Sushi Tei @ Vivocity, Raffles City, Paragon, Holland Village
- Ala carte
Went for my birthday last year and tried the snow crab pot. Oh-lala.. but you're paying for quality of cos. Pricier than sakae for good reason though.
Their seasonal specials are not bad and the sashimi is fresh. Sushi's not bad but watch out for what colour plates you are taking off the conveyor belt!
Warning! Go early on weekends or risk waiting up to 45 mins for your seats and they are counter seats too. They do not take reservations on weekends.
9)Genki sushi
- Sushi
Like sakae lohz.. but they seem to have less variety in their sushi.
2008: I think they have been bought over by a new company called Yotei.
10)Ichiban sushi
-Ala carte
Twice I've been here. But I don't like it. AT ALL. Somehow Ichiban boshi (sister shop) is better.. hmm..
