居酒屋なにわ/ Izakaya Naniwa/ Japanese Dining Bar Naniwa
Izakaya restaurant
👍👍 The place where you drink till there’s no end to the night. With delicious Japanese tapas ala omakase. You gotta drink. Once you stop drinking, they will serve you tea and the bill too:( Very limited seats, need to book one month in advance .

👍 If you like barbecue lamb, you should like this place. The meat was fresh, and the sides were pretty good as well.

Zenryoku Izakaya (Japanese Drinking Bar)
Izakaya restaurant
😐 == Quick Summary == Below average value in a place that tries to be upmarket but really is not. Food is okay; above average but when you consider the price, you're much better off in a 5-star Kushiyaki restaurant like Kazu (Cuppage) or Nanbantei (mass market but much better food and at much much bet...

Sandaime Hiraki Kaisenyaki/Oden
Japanese restaurant
👍👍 At the invite of the friendly uncle standing at the door, my wife and I decided to give it a go... and we were not disappointed! Thick cut fresh sashimi plate was so great that we almost order a second serving. The 2 main rice set we ordered were both excellent. My beef/pork double set was so to-die...

TORIKIN
Authentic Japanese restaurant
👍👍 Definitely loved all the dishes we ordered! Especially the homemade tofu: the texture is more like creamy pudding, which melts in the mouth; the tofu itself has rich taste of soy bean and cream cheese; the ingredients of soy sauce, seaweed and yuzu perfectly match the tofu. It was soooo nice that we...

Menya Kokoro @ Suntec City
Ramen restaurant
👍👍 One of the rare times when I very much preferred the sides compared to the mains, but in no way I am saying the mains are bad at all! I love their potato salad and truffle fries. The potato salad was cold and flavourful, which was refreshing and a great appetiser to start the meal. It's also intere...

Yamato Izakaya
Izakaya restaurant
👍👍 A comfortable place without travelling to central! If you live around the area, this can be a regular spot for you. Food is overall good, staff is attentive enough without constantly walking around to make you feel like you’re being watched and it’s a very comfortable space for you to sit and have...

Ishinomaki Grill & Sake
Japanese restaurant
👍 This izakaya x teppanyaki fusion restaurant is quite interesting at first glance. We were walking around looking for a restaurant, and ended up here, after being turned down at a few spots for dinner. Food is great, service is phenomenal. Was very warmly welcomed by the service staff upon us walkin...

ANJU
Korean restaurant
👍👍 Korean dishes with a modern twist. Recommended dishes: Bossam Jim (I.e pork belly) melts into your mouth feels. Very delicious. Comes with pickled sides and lettuce which breaks away from the grease Mascarpone with black beans: creamy spread with beans on sourdough crackers. Not too heavy but fla...

Yorimichi
Izakaya restaurant
👍 Great spot for drinks and snacks with friends. The space is cool, decor is quirky and music is 💯. The potato salad is pretty good and the skewers are quite good too. Down side: Service is insanely slow and we waited over an hour for the food to come. I would come back but I wouldn’t hurry. P.S. M...

Taki Izakaya Bar
Modern izakaya restaurant
😐 Awesome deco. Good ambience and a wide variety of drinks. Platter and their rolls are nice when they come. Need reminders on the food and drinks as the waiters kept forgetting our orders. Maybe it's due to the crowd, I'm not sure.

Neon Pigeon
Japanese restaurant
😐 Though the food was tasty, it was really not worth the tiny portions and price (like bone marrow is $26 and its a few teaspoons of marrow). If you come here I recommend the baby back ribs - very flavorful but oily. And the soft shell crab bao. For dessert I love the bonsai 3.0 🌱. Don't get the tr...

Okinawan Diner Nirai-Kanai
Izakaya restaurant
👍 We used to go to both their original locations before those closed and they ended up at Great World City. The quality of the food is the same, though the atmosphere isn’t quite what it was. Okinawan food isn’t for everyone (come on, bitter gourd is healthy!) so it comprises about half the menu and t...

Shunjuu Izakaya
Japanese restaurant
👍 Shunjuu is known to be wallet-friendly and also listed under the top 10 izakaya places in SGP that would transport you to Japan! Meat Bar - My fav dish from there so far. Unique dish served with a raw egg, chicken meat very tender, flavourful and crispy Chicken tsukune meatballs - packed with flavo...

Himonoya
Izakaya restaurant
👍 Good quality sashimi and tasty seafood. The signature Himono Hokke BBQ fish was yummy. The grilled Himono Squid was a personal favourite. Not rubbery with the right amount of chewiness. The bill came up to about $60 per person.

Morinaga Izakaya Restaurant Singapore (もりなが シンガポール 居酒屋)
Izakaya restaurant
👍👍 A few things you must know before you come. This is an authentic izakaya. That is why the owner says you order drinks first before food. This also has the izakaya in a corner of a old Japanese building in Tokyo vibe. If you make a reservation, minimum spend is $80 per head. Now that you know al...

Tomo Tokyo
Japanese restaurant
😠 Came here to celebrate a friend’s birthday. Disappointed with the food and service. Food: I think we ordered quite a variety of food for the night since we were in a big group. Did not like the rosti and octopus as they seemed to be too ‘wet’ for my liking. Sashimi was not fresh and other sushi were...

👍 Went on a weekday for celebration, restaurant wasn't pack and we ordered the 5 course omakase which comes with Uni on most dishes. Personally am not a fan of uni (my wife is) was passing most of the uni to her but she convinced me to give it a try. To my surpise the uni was fresh, big, creamy and fl...
